Small team with a big heart - a unique, personalized and most incredible safari experience!
5/5

My husband and I went on a safari for our honeymoon and could not have had a better experience. From the start, communication with Dorit to organize the entire trip was smooth, with quick replies and helpful tips. We met our guide, Lukiano, on the Seronera airstrip where we began our journey – and what a journey it was!
We saw so many animals, including the big 5 (even a rhino in Serengeti, which is, as we were told, extremely rare – we think it’s probably due to our guide’s nickname – Lucky). We saw the Great Migration. We had a pride of lions chilling next to our jeep. We had zebras blocking our way, saw baby elephants goofing around and enjoyed a cold beer watching baby cheetahs playing in the sunset. We loved learning more about the nature and animals with Luciano, as well as about the Maasai culture. But while he is very knowledgeable, what we loved most was the sheer excitement he shared with us when we watched these animals! As if we were all seeing them for the first time.
If you want the best safari experience, choose Lion Guides Safaris. :)

Very knowledgeable, well spoken always greeted with a smile. Would highly recommend this operator

EVERYTHING is already written!
Even the act of me writing this review and you reading it was already written.
For some, that may be a strange thought, as it gives the illusion that they have no control over their lives.
For others, however, it is the certainty that – no matter what may come – everything has its own purpose.

It was our purpose to cross paths with the greatest man of Tanzania – the one and only, the sensei of wildlife: Lukiano!

My girlfriend and I have met many people on our travels. Some were hospitable, kind, and helpful – and some we would have rather never met at all.
But none of them were like Lukiano!

With his calm yet energetic presence, he managed to make us feel safe in every situation.
And I truly mean EVERY situation!
Whether it was a lion majestically walking just inches past our open car window, or an elephant scratching it’s itchy back against our vehicle – one concerned glance towards Lukiano, one smile from him, and all our worries were gone till eternity.

Lukiano’s smile was, in fact, his constant companion – and never, truly never, was it fake or even slightly forced.
It was simply… REAL.
What a gift it is in today’s world to still experience such REALNESS – from such an impressive human being!

This realness was only outshined by his knowledge of the wildlife.
To cut it short: If the topic is wildlife, even ChatGPT would ask Lukiano.
It’s unbelievable how much this man knows!
But knowing is one thing – teaching that knowledge patiently and understandable is another.
Lukiano combines both like no one else!

He is simply a remarkable man – one of a kind, the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be.

Every great man throughout history of mankind needed a soulmate – someone to help unlock their full potential.
Lukiano’s soulmate is Dorit.

She gave us a constant sense of security and care. She looked after us when we were mentally and physically exhausted, kept us motivated time and time again, and made us laugh – and reflect – with her wonderful stories and life wisdom.

You could feel how pure her interest was, and how solution-focused she was in addressing our concerns.
And just like with Lukiano – always with a powerful, undeniable REALNESS.

On top of all that, she impressed with flawless organization and absolute professionalism in every aspect.

Together, the two of them are the true embodiment of:
Teamwork makes the dream work!
Two loving people who, in all likelihood, have found each other till infinity.
And to be honest – what could be more admirable than that?

If you’re looking for “something“ special, this is not the right couple for your trip – because with this couple, EVERYTHING is special!
It’s up to you whether you want to have the time of your life in Tanzania with this truly unique power couple.
Think about it…
But in the end, sometimes you have to be smart – and remember:
EVERYTHING is already written.

The Best Team Ever. Professional, reliable, punctual and always attentive to our needs.
5/5

Lion Guides, The best Safari Team. The 4 days Safari was a family dream that cane true. The experience was amazing , we were inside the heart of Serengueti and Ngorongoro. Making part of that amazing environment. Thanks to Lion guides we always felt safe and driven to the best spots were perfect wildlife scenarios were just there making memories in all our senses.
After the Safari the accomodation was just the perfect spot to be , with luxurious Tents and Fantastic Buffet just right there in the middle of Serengueti.
We Loved it and for Sure , Lion guides, the best team Ever.
