Experience Bespoke African Journeys

It is difficult to put into words just how incredible my journey with Hekaya Africa was. From the moment I decided to travel to Tanzania, the team at Hekaya Africa worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was taken care of.

What truly stood out to me was how the entire trip was tailor-made to suit my interests and preferences. The wildlife was stunning, the camps were incredible, and the village visits were truly inspiring.

Hekaya Africa made sure I had an authentic and unforgettable experience. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone looking to explore the beauty and diversity of Africa.

Travelling with Hekaya has been one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.

To be honest I experienced luxury in ways I haven’t thought of before..  all travel details taken care of, arriving to smiley agents who were waiting for me with cold water bottles with my name on it 🙂 All connecting charter flights booked to my convenience with a hotel room so I wouldn’t have long waits in the airport.

As soon as I arrived I met the incredible Zambians who work in the lodge, so professional and inviting. Hekaya arranged a game drive, canoeing and lunch in the river upon arrival. The serenity and beauty of nature are incomprehensible, the fun kept rolling for the next few days.

The idea that I could see so many different cities in Zambia and experience flying over the Victoria falls, cruising in the mighty Zambezi river with the hippos and crocodiles and driving into the bush to find leopards and wild dogs was mind blowing!

Returning to my room at the end of the day to find a filled bubbly bathtub and a private luxurious room was my highlight.

I definitely recommend Hekaya for honeymooners, families and solo travelers who want to pamper themselves like me.

The journey of a lifetime - our amazing adventure in Zambia with Hekaya was without a doubt our favorite trip. The comfort and beauty, the incredibly experienced guides and the well selected lodges made everything just perfect. We loved the game drives in South Luangwa and everything in between, when luxury and adventure met, it created absolute magic. 

Oh and visiting the schools and the kids, warmed our hearts. 

The adrenaline rush at the Victoria falls doing the microlight was super insane. Probably the best thing I have done in my life.

Why go with HEKAYA? Because it’s absolutely worth it. Hands down.

We recently booked at 12-day holiday to Zambia with Hekaya for our family of five, including three children aged 9 and 11. Hekaya did an amazing job of listening to our needs for a safari holiday, offered great suggestions and customised a complete, all-inclusive itinerary that resulted in a luxurious and amazing trip to Zambia. The response time to queries was superb and we booked our holiday in a matter of week.

We visited four different destinations including Victoria Falls, saw amazing wildlife, ate fabulous food and met wonderful people. The experience was all completely worry-free with activities, internal flights and transfers pre-organised, thanks to Hekaya. The service felt personalised with welcome gifts and notes left at each different destination, as well as a post-trip follow-up welcoming feedback about the trip. 

These days it's easy to book everything yourself online (flights, accommodation, car rental, activities etc.), however, that works well when traveling to well-known destinations with established standards and hotel brands. It becomes infinitely more challenging when heading to an unfamiliar destination and splurging on what may be a once-in-a-lifetime safari holiday. Add to that the plethora of information available online, the gazillion reviews and you’re left wondering what to believe and what to choose.  

That’s when you need a good travel agency that you feel cares about you and understands the destinations, and that you feel you can trust. That’s what Hekaya was for us and we can highly recommend it. Thank you for a perfect first safari with unforgettable memories.
