Great and affordable Safari
We hired the 6 days safari. It started really good. They were genenerous to give us another hotel night since our flight arrived at an inconvenience time. They picked us up at the airport and our safari guide was Ricardo, he started explaining life in the city since we met him. He was very friendly and very informative. We had a problem with our bags and they were very helpful with that as well.
During the safari, Ricardo was very eager to show us all the animals. He gave us a lot of information about the animals's behaviour, tanzanian culture and also about plants. He was an excellent guide and driver.
The food was very tasty, we really liked it.
If I have to say something negative, it would be that in many hotels we didn't have hot water to shower. And some days it was hot during the day and we didn't have a cold bottle of water. They were always warm. We didn't have sodas after day 3 so that sucked. And the last thing to improve, you should definitely have more binoculars. We were 4 in that car, including the guide and the cook, and we had to "fight" for it.
Overall, it was a great experience. We saw the big 5 and lots and lots of animals.

Fabulous safari!
We took a three day safari to Murchison Falls and it was fantastic. It was so well-organized and our guide, Eric, was the best! He was friendly and so knowledgeable! We saw more animals than I ever imagined we would, largely because Eric was so good at his job!
I highly recommend this tour!

Kerry Ririe Planned a Fabulous Trip
My husband and I want to recommend and thank Kerry Ririe for planning our best trip we have ever taken. This says a lot as we are very avid international travelers. We visited Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Cape Town SA recently. We live in the USA and even with the time difference Kerry was always quick to reply to any questions we had during the planning stage. She listened to our criteria and planned an adventure which far exceeded any of our expectations. We saw so many animals, (The Big 5 by our second day), met wonderful people, visited a village, saw Victoria Falls, ate delicious food, had beautiful accommodations and received outstanding service. We truly enjoyed every moment of our holiday. Everything about our trip was seamless which alleviated any stress traveling so far to experience new countries. This was due to the expert planning by Kerry and the excellent reputation of Pembury Tours. We hope we can one day return to Africa and we will certainly use Kerry again as our planner. Until then we are singing your praises to everyone we meet with an interest in traveling to Africa. Thank you again!

Trip of a Lifetime
First of all, I have to say that my guide, Peter, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly and funny. He gets a 10/10, a 5-star rating!! He is now my brother for life. I would also say that Lion King Adventures was a top-notch operator. The lodges and accommodations were unbelievable. Each lodge was great. The rooms and beds were great, the staff at each location were welcoming and helped with all of our needs. If I had to recommend a tour guide operator to my friends and family, I would definitely recommend Lion King Adventures.
Now for the safari. We started at Tarangire National Park. What a great place to start. We saw incredible wildlife and scenery. The highlight of that park was when a bull elephant walked directly up to our vehicle, within 5 feet. I have a picture that will go up in my house and it will always bring me back to that experience. From there, we went to Serengeti National Park. It's massive. I was shocked how big it was. So much game and wildlife. The highlight for me was when a female lion walked right past us, with her 4 newborn cubs. I feel honored to have met the cubs before the pride was introduced to them :) Then onto Ngorongoro Crater. It's a paradise of wildlife. Within 10 minutes of being in the park, we saw two male lions. Then the highlight was when we saw hyenas take down a wildebeest. Seeing it on TV doesn't compare. You have to see it in person and the operator you should use for you trip should absolutely be Lion King Adventures. I cannot wait to come back!

We Will Do It Again
We had the best safari experience in Tanzania! Everything about it was perfect, Zamunda Tours provided an amazing driver and guide, Ally. We had no idea how important it was to have a knowledgeable driver guide about the country, the animals, good communication skills, photography and camera knowledge and concern for our safety, and good automotive knowledge! The booking process was easy, the agent took all our calls and kept up with our trip experience. Five stars!!!
Happy AND animal expert
Eddie is the most fantastic guide for anything. First he took us on the pan aroma tour and was an absolute delight. Great company on a long day. So we knew he was a cheery lovely man, but then he was our guide for the Kruger safari and I was astounded at how knowledgeable he is about nature. He is an expert! He looked at tracks, read the environment and weather and used his friendly networking to find us the best experiences and sightings. He knows anything you could possibly want to know and maintained enthusiasm and passion the whole long day. An absolute treasure of a person!

Materuni waterfalls coffee tour
Unforgettable experience! Our tour group Serengeti African Tours and guide Kelvin Joseph provided excellent service and made our trip very smooth! Kelvin Joseph has rich geographical and animal knowledge. He took us to see the amazing scenes of the aborigines and learned a lot of knowledge. It was very touching and definitely an unforgettable experience!
If you want to experience the most primitive aborigines or animal migration experience, I believe he can do it. Choose Kelvin Joseph as a driver and guide. Also feel at ease, in this short day, we left unforgettable memories. We especially recommend this most professional and gentlemanly driver and guide Kelvin Joseph. He brought us the most comfortable and safest experience. Thank you for his contribution!
It was a wonderful trip. We met a very good guide Kelvin Joseph, who not only introduced the characteristics of the national park in detail, but also respected customers very much. I think I will recommend him to friends who are going to participate in the future.

We saw all 5 of the big 5 and all the other must sees while on Safari. So glad for the experience and we are heading home super happy!
Rama, thank you and your family for letting us experience your wisdom for a week out of your lives.

Mandela was exceptional. He had great patience and knowledge, we always felt safe with him!
Couldn’t recommend suricata safaris anymore! Our entire trip was smooth sailing from the moment we touched down at Mt Kilimanjaro airport. We were picked up and driven to our accomodation in Arusha where one of the guides gave us a tour around the town. All meals were included on our trip, which were all exceptional.
Our guide Mandela was absolutely amazing, his patience and knowledge was out of this world. He made us feel safe at all times and was able to answer any questions we had with ease!
All staff at suricata safari went above and beyond, and the animal’s and scenery were out of this world! Couldn’t recommend them more!
