Nice Experience
This was a new experience for us, and we enjoyed it. The highlight was our captain, Baris, whose energy and fun personality made the experience especially memorable. The breakfast was good, and the pickup and drop-off arrangements were smooth and convenient.

Nice guides and an exciting experience!
We made a game drive in Ngorongoro Crater with our guides Alex and Omar. They were really friendly and told us interesting information about the animals and environment. We laughed a lot and i can only recommend it.

Best African Safari Experience
Excellent safari! Thank you to Raymond, our guide, and to Takims staff for a pleasant and adventurous journey. Arusha Coffee Lodge, Tangerine Treetops Lodge and Serengeti Migration Camp Lodge provided 5 star lodging, food, service, and extras. The hospitality was top notch. We were a group of 4 (2 couples ) taken to 3 different locations in Tanzania to see up close a total of 42 animals which included The Big Five, Carnivores, Herbivores, Primates, and Birds. We even saw 2 sets of animals mating! I highly recommend choosing Takims Holidays and requesting Raymond as your guide. I express my gratitude to this travel agency! Elizabeth Harpine Texas USA

Once A Lifetime Experience!! Must do!
The Miracle Experience hot air balloon was unbelievable. Not only was the experience beautiful and so much fun, the staff were incredibly organized, accommodating, and so nice. The whole trip from start to finish was such a fun, unique and once in a lifetime experience. When you arrive it’s early because it has to be based on the sunrise, but they have coffee and treats for you upon arrival and nice bathrooms being in the middle of the Serengeti. My husband and I had never been in a hot air balloon, and it was truly remarkable seeing the Serengeti from above and watching the sunrise while you’re there. After the balloon they gave us a sweet and delicious bush breakfast and celebrated everyone’s honeymoon like ours. It made us feel super special and taken care of! ❤️ they also had a professional photographer that took some beautiful photos. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

Sunrise Hot Air Balloon
What an outstanding experience we had seeing the sunrise over the Mara River, spotting hippos, crocs, zebras and loads of other animals. Made all the more special by our wonderful driver, Rashid, and of course our funny and experienced pilot, Baris! Do not miss out on this ballon trip during your safari!

Unforgettable journey met top guide Masatu
We had a wonderful safari with the best guide we could have imagined. Masatu had 17 years’ experience and knew all the best spots for spotting animals. He also took our needs into account (such as toilet stops) and was more than happy to answer all our questions about the animals. The comfortable jeep had a roof that could be raised, so we could see everything clearly. A top guide!!!! An unforgettable safari for our family.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

serengeti and ngorongoro crater On May 2026
We had an outstanding experience with Takims Holidays. They arranged an excellent professional guide, Nixon, who gave very knowledgeable explanations about the animals and knew exactly where to find them so that we could take amazing photos. He was extremely friendly and warm, and made us feel very well taken care of throughout the entire trip. All the transfers and transportation services were organised in a very professional way. This company is truly worth recommending.

Excellent Sunrise Balloon flight and breakfast

Bucket list balloon ride was marvellous!
Wow! I have waited years to do a hot air balloon and it not only did not disappoint, it exceeded my expectations!Firstly the team are wonderfully friendly and as a solo traveller made me feel comforted and at ease. I was lucky enough to join only a couple so there was only three of us plus the captain on board so had plenty of space and every view was a window seat for sure.The captain (Andrew) is awesome! Knowledgeable and got a cracking sense of humour as well! We all spotted animals together (lions, elephants, zebras, giraffe, waterbuck etc) so we ticked off a lot of animals!I was nervous about taking off and landing and it was incredibly smooth, just glided on in.Have no critique as it was a perfect morning! Thanks for creating such a wonderful memory!The team truly made me day today

Experience of a lifetime! Ramy was an experienced pilot and his knowledge was very thorough.
Excellent experience and the memories will never be forgotten 💕
I never thought I’d ever get the chance to fly over the Serengeti in a balloon!!

Amazing Experience
While this wasn’t my first hot air balloon ride, it was undoubtedly the most spectacular. Miracle Experience Balloon Safaris runs a flawless operation—everything from the initial pickup to the final drop-off was exceptionally organized and professional. Our pilot, Lukasz, was incredible; not only did he expertly navigate the skies, but he also pointed out wildlife and even served us coffee! We had amazing game viewing and were incredibly lucky to witness wildebeest crossing the Mara River from right above. To top it all off, the post-flight bush breakfast was on another level—a true five-star meal in the heart of the wild.
