Great Wildlife, no so great Driver
The Safari was very nice, and we were really lucky, despite rain season. However, out driver always seemed to be in a hurry outside the park and the extra-activities seemed to a nuisance to him

Great experience for safaris and kilimanjaro trekking
We spent 5 days in northern Tanzania, my friend and me. Everything was organized by Lion King Avdentures.
The first day, we took a day walk on the Kilimanjaro lower hills, with our guide Saladimi. He told us thousands of stuff abour flora and fauna, and also about the famouse Kilimandjaro climb. We had a wonderfull time, in spite of the bad weather and the cold temperature. Great surprise during the drive back to Arusha to lie down the seats of the 4*4, to take a nap on the route.
The 4 following days, we discovered the parcs of Tanrangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, with Salim (our professional BIG FIVE spotter) and Youssouf (our magical cook, who prepared us queens meals and who wass full of attention, like welcoming us with fresh fruit after hours of safari. He teached us lot abour swahili as well). Thanks to Salim, we were able to see lots of animal and the whole BIG FIVE, in wonderful landscapes.
We were really happy about the logistics, too. The accomodations we got with our low-cost deal were really nice (great hotel in Arusha the 2 firsts nights, camping in parcs really nice with showers and WC). The camping material is good quality, especially the warmest sleeping bags ever who were usefull while sleeping in altitude. The 4*4 car has become our 2nd house, very comfy and cleaned every morning by Salim.
Inone word, we have been totally enthousiastic by this trip and we highly recommend Lion King Adventure.
Usefull tip : bring a little guide book about the eastern africa animals, who will give you good informations complements about the wonders you will observe there.

I'm planning a vacation from Qatar, I would love to Experience the mara crossing,which is a wonder of the world and Kenyan clear coastline at Diani beach and that would definitely be with felann exiting safaris.

Awesome trip with well organization.
The service was much better than I expected. We lived in a tent, well equipped, given a very cheap price.

Review about Mikumi National Park by Melanie Moore
The park was nice but I wouldn't syay more than 2 days. I saw everything except the lions because the grass was too tall. I recommend visiting August -Feb.

Just keeps getting better!
This was my second visit to MalaMala (lucky I know!) so I had very high expectations - especially as on my previous stay we ticked off all the Big 5 just between the airport and Main Camp and saw both a lion and leopard kill on our first game drive! This time however it was the accommodation that totally knocked my socks off. Sable Camp has been transformed into a modern, fresh, chic safaris lodge whilst maintaining its authentic character. I loved that the his and hers bathrooms have been knocked into one big bathroom with both a bath and shower. Its had a real injection of "wow" factor so please ignore the rating saying it looked tired and in need of a refurb! Main Camp was busy being done up in May and the team said it should be for the most part complete in July (think they said they would do the last few rooms on the one end of camp at the end of the year). The decks, lounges, bar etc all look fabulous.
The game viewing again was amazing and a real highlight was watching two leopards mating right in front of us as well as seeing loads of different lion with our guide Lucky, who grew up in the reserve. It far exceeded all expectations and I cannot wait to go back again.

epic solo two day safari at Mikumi Nat'l Park
My trip was once in a lifetime I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery I saw elephants giraffes zebras and Paula's baboons hippos, birds, and water buffalo. I will be back for Lions. Mikumi National Park was a gem and a treasure. Gecko Adventures was great and would definately recommend them. my guides was professional the lodge was accommodating. The food was great at camp Sebastian. This trip was everything that I expected.

Its amongst the most beautiful experience
We were in Kenya towards end of May. Thankfully the rain gods did not play spoilsport. It was a beautiful trip with lots of wildlife (though the grass was tall and hence animal sighting is not as easy). We went to Masai Mara and Naivasha. Both were beautiful places. The drive to Masai Mara was a bit of an issue due to under construction road.
Overall, loved the trip and will definitely try to be back.
