My 2nd trip with Nature Responsible Safari - and it won't be the last
I usually book my vacation well in advance. I booked this trip here at short notice to get a change from the European rainy weather ;-). The contact with the owner - Fransisca - was trustworthy and all questions were answered very quickly.
The trip took us from Tarangire NP via Lake Manyara to the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide John has a lot of experience, patiently explained to us what we wanted to know and knew exactly when we needed to be where.
Once again Asante Sana to NRS

Superb safari from start to finish
We had an incredible safari with RO Scavenger. It’s a boutique operation owned and run by a former safari guide and his experience really showed. Silas was incredible to work with from the outset and tailored the safari to our every need, factoring in specific experiences we wanted and ensuring it all fitted within our budget.
We also had a superb guide called Edward who is super friendly and seemingly knows pretty much every other guide out there, which was useful for getting tip offs for rare sightings. He has years of experience and it showed. While other guides would be jostling for position, he’d sit back knowing where the animals would go to, ensuring we had front row seats for several incredible moments. We saw all the big five, had some very close encounters and got to see some truly unique animal behaviour experiences.
We had booked the safari for our honeymoon and it RO Scavenger organised several wonderful little touches everywhere we stayed. It was a truly memorable experience - and made all the better by the fabulous food and unending supply of wine, beers and snacks!

Amazing Safari Trip with Meektrails Safaris
My recent safari with Meektrails Safaris in June was absolutely incredible. Over 7 days, my wife and I were amazed by the meticulous planning and expertise of the team. They curated our journey to showcase Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife. We spent two nights at Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli, each location offering its own unique beauty and wildlife experiences. From observing majestic lions in Masai Mara to marveling at the colorful birdlife in Lake Nakuru and exploring the serene Hell's Gate Gorge in Lake Naivasha, every moment was filled with awe and discovery.
We were fortunate to have close encounters with the wildlife, though this may vary for others—it's like embarking on a photo hunt. It's important to note that while the chances of spotting animals are high, they are wild and unpredictable. This unpredictability added an extra thrill to our safari, reminding us of the true essence of wildlife in their natural habitat. Despite not seeing every species up close, this unpredictability made our adventure feel authentic and exhilarating.
A major highlight was encountering the renowned "Big Five" — lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos — across different parks. We also cherished discovering the "Ugly Five," which includes distinctive animals like the warthog and hyena, deepening our appreciation for Africa's rich biodiversity.
In Nairobi, our safari concluded with a visit to the Giraffe Center, where we interacted closely with these graceful creatures, adding a memorable cultural touch to our journey.
Our guide, Ben, played a pivotal role in the success of our safari. With over a decade of experience, Ben's expertise in animal behavior and knowledge of the parks ensured optimal wildlife viewing and photography opportunities.
Meektrails Safaris impressed us not only with their well-planned itinerary and knowledgeable guides but also with their commitment to our satisfaction. From booking to the safari's conclusion, their team, led by our contact person Paul, was responsive and accommodating, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable experience.
Please prepare for hot days and chilly nights, along with bumpy roads during the safari. The adventure can be physically demanding, so consider planning an additional 2-3 days for relaxation afterward to recharge.
I wholeheartedly recommend Meektrails Safaris to anyone seeking an unforgettable safari adventure in Kenya. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, Meektrails Safaris will exceed your expectations with their professionalism, attention to detail, and passion for showcasing Kenya's natural beauty and wildlife.
In conclusion, Meektrails Safaris offers an exceptional safari experience that blends adventure, education, and unparalleled wildlife encounters. Thank you, Meektrails Safaris, for a journey that has left an indelible mark on our hearts and minds. We are already looking forward to the day we can return and explore more of Kenya's remarkable wilderness with your team.

Our tour operater Wines was phenomenal, very friendly, supportive and organized.
This 3-Day Safari Trip (2 Days in Serengeti and 1 Day in Ngorongoro) was one of the best experiences in our life. This is a MUST-DO for all the Nature Lovers. HAKUNA MATATA.
Our tour operater Wines you can also call her Winnie was the best operater we could have asked for. Everything was perfectly organized and fully trustworthy. If we had any issues, she was always there for us to resolve them.
We had a pick up from the airport directly to our Hotel in Arusha. The next Morning we were picked up from our Hotel to start the safari tour.
On this Day we met our great Safari guide Macha, one of the kindest, knowledgable, funniest and loveliest persons we met. During our tour we have seen multiple lions, lionness, baby lions, cheetahs, baby cheetahs, elehphants, rhinos, giraffes, hippos, zebras, buffalos and many more. All of those animals were directly infront of us, however I always feit safe. Macha our guide explained everything about the national parks, the animals and could answer any questions we had.
During our trip we stayed in to Tented Lodges with beds and private bathrooms. Both Accomodations were great and we had great breakfast and dinner there. Lunch was provided during the safari trip.
I highly recommend everbody to do this trip with this Organisation, our operater Wines and our safari tour guide Macha.
Worth every penny!
HAKUNA MATATA, POLE POLE!

Trip of a lifetime
We booked with Lion King for our Tanzania safari experience as they were the most responsive and understanding operator. Once we reached Tanzania, the service has been impeccable. We were so lucky to have been allocated Shafino as our guide for the private tour. Having been in the game for over 25 years, Shafino took us to see all the big 9 and some more! Every day is an adventure and we saw all the animals in different forms and habitats. The experience was truly amazing and I would recommend it to everyone. Please ask for Shafino as your guide!

Amazing experience! We will choose you again!
Lion King, thanks ! We had a wonderful trip and unforgettable memories with my bother and sister's families. I and my husband came from Toronto and they came from China. We meet once a year through a trip at different country. This trip is the most incredible and amazing experience than before. Our tour guide Immanuel was excellent. He answered all our questions and provided lots of information on the animals, landscape and culture around us. He was very friendly, funny and informative and we always felt in safe hands. He consistently managed to find us the best spots to see the animals. On our private safari experience, we were very lucky to see all of the big 5 and a lot more - thank you Immanuel!
Our accommodation was great in beautiful and unique settings.
Rose and Gordon in the Lion King Adventures office were very helpful and flexible when organizing this trip and provided lots of information. I contacted Rose at 9:30pm after office hour but she responded me very quickly!
