They are attentive, professional, and respond very quickly to inquiries.
This tour operator was everything we were looking for. They are attentive, professional, and respond very quickly to inquiries. They provided a great vehicle for a private safari. Our guide, Danford, was friendly and exceptional at spotting wildlife. The accommodations were exactly as discussed and were very nice and comfortable. The food during the game days was tasty, made by locals instead of the lunch boxes offered by other tour operators. We are more than happy we chose them for our honeymoon.

Big Apes Africa (and Peter) are professional and my experience was unforgettable!
I thought the unforgettable part of the tour would be seeing the gorillas (which was an experience of a lifetime) but I didn’t anticipate how cool it would be to drive from location to location and see the rich culture's of Rwanda & Uganda. There were many people on the main streets and so much life and culture to see. The landscapes of Uganda are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. The people were so kind and welcoming. Peter runs a well organized and executed tour. He took care of everything, provided delicious local snacks, and most importantly helped me when I needed. He took me to the local market to buy a few things and made sure I was not taken advantage of. He also helped me do a fair currency exchange at the Uganda boarder. I enjoyed all three lodges i stayed at for different reasons, but the quality of service was nice at each. Wifi gets unreliable in Uganda, but there is enough to see and do. Just close your laptop! Expect to tip for most services. Budget for it. Just tell Peter what you want and he will do his best to provide it. After my treks my hiking boots were dirty and needed repair. He got them cleaned and repaired for me without me asking. (So kind!) I waited to get my tourism visa at the airport when i arrived. It was very quick and easy. I got the East Africa visa to enter Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya. I had no boarder issues. I highly recommend Big Apes Africa, will tell my friends about it, and will use this agency again when i return!

Amazing experience going safari with Tanzanian offroad Trips
From the very first moment, our communication with Robert was exceptional. He promptly provided all the information we needed and meticulously arranged everything, including domestic flights, airport transfers, and accommodation.
Our group of five friends embarked on a 2-day safari from Zanzibar to Arusha. The experience was nothing short of magical.Day 1: Tarangire National Park Our first day was spent at Tarangire National Park, where we were fortunate to see a plethora of wildlife including giraffes, elephants, zebras, baby lions, and even Pumba (warthogs).
Day 2: Ngorongoro Conservation Area The second day was the highlight of our trip. Ngorongoro Conservation Area was an extraordinary experience, offering us close encounters with elephants, buffalo, wildebeests, hyenas, zebras, lions, and even a rhino from quite a distance. We also spotted hippos and many other animals, making it an unforgettable day.
Our safari vehicle was a 4x4 with a roof that opened up, providing us with excellent views of the wildlife and the landscape. Our professional guide was both experienced and kind, ensuring we thoroughly enjoyed our safari game drives.We stayed at Eileen's Trees Inn, which was a great experience. The lodge was very clean, the special dinner and breakfast were delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The location itself was impressive and added to the charm of our stay.The food provided during the safari was homemade and delicious, with packed lunches on both days that we thoroughly enjoyed.Overall, everything went smoothly, and we are extremely pleased with our experience. We highly recommend booking with Robert and his team for an unforgettable safari adventure.100% recommended!

An amazing 2 day safari
A very well organised safari. My friends and I found this safari tour agency online and contact them by ourselves. They responded in only a few hours and everytime we were sending any enquiries, they were answering. We booked a 2-day safari trip from zanzibar. The safari guide was very experienced with10+ years of doing safaris, very friendly. The accommodation booked by the agency for the night surpassed our expectations.

Experience of a Lifetime!
Our guide, Gama, was an EXPERT! We had an incredible tour and he was able to answer every question that we had about every animal, plant and location. Our guide was an excellent driver and navigated Tanzania like a pro. He knew every road, every shortcut and kept a close eye on where the animals were. We saw everything on our list!
We will be coming back and wouldn’t dream of doing a safari with another company.

Guides Skilled at Finding Animals
Tanzania was a life changing experience! We did a five day safari with our guide, Gama. He knows an incredible amount of information on the animals, birds, and culture- any question we asked he knew the answer or found out. He has a good eye and finds the hidden animals that all the other drivers completely missed! He also knows how to set up the perfect shot for your wildlife photography. The guides all communicate during the game drives to share locations of where the animals are so you get to have some very cool experiences.
We felt very safe, taken care of, and learned an incredible amount. The car was cleaned every day, with fresh water, beer, and wine always available.
Lion King overall was awesome to work with, and answered all our questions quickly. The drivers transferring us were friendly, punctual and provided amenities such as water and charging stations. We did a mid range safari, but all the accomodations had wifi, were beautiful, comfortable and friendly.
We would love to come back and do another tour, definitely with Gama and Lion King.

Serengetti : A mindblowing safari with Mountainwarriors
Mountain Warriors , what an amazing company!! The safari that was organised blew us away. Serngetti and Ngorongoro crater were the highligts . We could not have asked for a better expereince . Special thanks to Rehma , their customer representative who was with us every step of the way . The management went an extra mile to make us feel comfortable . Their quick reaction ,when a room was not upto the expected standards and to resolve it with an alternate hotel really imppressed us.
