Amazing experience, great organisation and good communication during all phases
5/5

I had an amazing experience with Lions Paw.
They organised for us a safari touring Serengeti (central and southern part), Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara national parks in Tanzania.
Since the initial interaction with Walter and the team we perceived a good vibe and we liked the communication style. They prepared the itinerary taking into account all our requests and desires, and it resulted in a smooth experience for us.
They provided us with a nice car with Adrian as our driver and guide (great guy, we had fun with him), filled with water, drinks and snacks, and all comforts needed for long game drives in the parks.

I strongly recommend Lions Paw if you are interested in a safari or other activities in Tanzania, they are really nice and super attentive, and always available in case of need.

Gilbert made the safari amazing with his knowledge and passion to make it memorial for us.
5/5

The tour company provided safe transportation to our hotel. The lodging and food options were good. Gilbert was the best tour guide. We felt very safe with him and he did everything to make our trip memorable including recommending changes that would give us a better chance to see more animals. Gilbert pointed out lots of animals and plants and was very knowledgeable on the animals and plants. He also provided information on their culture to make the entire trip more meaningful. Gilbert did a great job setting up our picnic lunches and had our windows cleaned in the vehicle each morning. He was especially helpful when our luggage did not arrive from the airport by helping us get clothes and informing us on the status of our luggage delivery. Gilbert made our trip very enjoyable. I highly recommend him as your guide.

Safe, excellent tour guide, and a great experience
5/5

We really enjoyed the safari and especially Gilbert! Our tour guide was extremely informative, went out of his way to make our experience. I think Gilbert enjoyed the experience just as much as we did. Such a great experience and we want to come back. Definitely recommend Gilbert to anyone and everyone that comes on Safari. We learned some of the local language, ate the cuisine, saw every animal we has wanted (very close), and had great help when our luggage was lost at the airport. 10/10 and one of the best vacations every, 100% Gilbert made it memorable.

Gilbert is THE best guide ever!!!
5/5

I can not express how amazing our Safari and tour was. I truly believe Gilbert made our experience spectacular. 100/5 stars for him! Gilbert went out of his way to take us to perfect views of the elephants, Zebras, Lions, and so many more. I could tell the experience and knowledge that Gilbert had and not if, but when I come back I would want to go with him again! Can't recommend him more, he is extremely special, and a gem to the safari and country! #welovegilbert!!!

Fantastic attention and expertise
5/5

I chose Lions Paw agency following the reviews online in TripAdvisor. The gave me great itinerary options, were open and very responsive with all changes I wanted to make. Their prices were very competitive.
We went for a private 6 days tour, the hotels were fantastic, our driver Mosha was great.
At the beginning I was a bit reluctant as they are a small agency but that transformed in a very dedicated team, we had an amazing holiday and would totally recommend them to anyone! Thank you Walter and Julius for everything.

I had a great time on Safari, and I felt really lucky. I even saw a rhino.
5/5

We are very grateful to our handsome and professional guide; he was a lucky charm. He always managed to lead us to the animals we wanted to see. The lunches he prepared were also delicious.hakunamatata

An absolutely perfect safari with incredible value.
5/5

I saw a leopard that had just finished its lunch, with blood still on its fur.
I saw a handsome lion up close.
I saw an elephant that got angry because we were talking and disturbed it.
I saw us having a meal in the car because Serengeti was too vast to find a dining spot.
And I saw the hyenas I’d been most eager to see.

Africa is truly amazing — a place where humans and nature coexist in harmony.
I’m so grateful to my friend who went through so many travel agencies and finally picked this one — the value for money is incredible! We had great accommodation every day and enjoyed every meal!

I also want to give a huge shout-out to our guide, Gilbert. He’s extremely professional, responsive, and wholehearted — like a walking encyclopedia, always explaining things to us. I learned so much! And thanks to him, we managed to spot the Big Five all in one trip — hahaha! He’s truly sharp-eyed and amazing at tracking animals. Absolutely impressive!
