Brilliant personalized trip of a lifetime
We (a grown up family of 5) have just returned in February from a fabulous, unique 7 days in Tanzania thanks to the fantastic organization by Wild Root Safaris. The trip was flawless, seeing the migration and just about every animal and variety of game viewing we could have imagined (eg. Lush vegetation and waterholes in Manyara, silky endless plains in both the central and southern Serengeti and surprisingly fantastic monkeys, giraffes, lakes and mountain scenes in the lesser traveled Arusha National Park. Freddie, our guide, knew everyone, had great knowledge of the animals, birds and vegetation, was never in a rush, always ready to leave early and would let us take time to observe the animals in their natural state (as close as practical) and with plenty of time for photographs (from the best vantage point). Yet we made great time between venues. Our personalized tour was a mixture of basic and luxury accommodation and full of searching for the animals whenever we wanted. A key suggestion is to treat yourself to a stay at Kuba Kuba camp for one night – it is the most remarkable setting in the Serengeti; tented camps are great and don’t be afraid to use the less expensive accommodation outside the parks (Eileen’s Tree house was great) – all food was brilliant; do a balloon trip if you want total serenity and to observe the beauty and expanse of the Serengeti (it is more memorable than just animals); and, when traveling, don’t expect to see animals hunting each other – they live mostly in harmony.
As with others reading this, I am sure when starting you have no idea which company to choose – all reviews on the internet seemed good but after sending a few emails, Wild Root turned out to be very different. The company rang us spontaneously on What’s App and worked with us directly to organize a great itinerary. Mathew a proud co-director from Tanzania, bent over backwards to organize what we wanted, not what the company wanted. They willingly changed venues and costs and also fully explained the costs of every part of the trip. This is really important because Tanzania has endless Park fees and the company cannot avoid these. They also had new spacious well set up vehicles (with the essential 24/7 charging station and fridge). Just a note to others – do not worry about transferring the large amount of funds to Tanzania – it worked seamlessly – just for peace of mind stay in contact with the tour company. Thank you immensely Freddie (we will always be prepared to shout you a beer) and Mathew – your concern for us and the local people is incredible - we are so glad we selected Wild Root. It was truly the trip of a lifetime!

And you can ask questions as much...their very helpful...I will definitely advise to my friends and family to tour with discovery

Fantastic Experience with Lion King
We love our guide, Mr. Goodluck, he’s the best guide who has tons of animals knowledge and experience. He tried very hard to show all the animals to us even the weather is not good. And we also love our chef, Yusuph, he made the best African food and cared about our health. When we get back home we will definitely miss his food.
The safari experience with Goodluck and Yusuph will be kept in my mind forever and ever. Thank you very much Lion King Adventures.

Great Experience, Great Price!
Congo Discovery delivered a customized tour of high quality at a price significantly cheaper than competitors. ‘Luxury’ level accommodation in Virunga and Bukavu was to an execellent standard. Communication with Barack and Ken was quick and easy, always providing answers when asked. Ground transport was to good standard with drivers George and Barack knowledgeable and friendly. The route of the tour did change last minute due to slow processing of Congo visa however, Barack and Ken managed this well with all activities and accommodation delivered as planned! We booked 6 day Gorilla and Nyiragongo volcano trek. Both activities were an amazing experience and thoroughly recommend a visit to the Congo! Barack ensured we were safe and happy every step of the tour. He was always happy to show us other local sites and restaurants.
All staff were very friendly. Excellent value. Amazing experience! I would definitely use Congo Discovery Safaris again!

We had an amazing and perfectly organized tour through Rwanda, Uganda and DR Congo.
Before booking a tailor made tour with Congo discovery safaris we had contact by email with Barack and Ken. They were very helpful and we came to a very nice itinerary. Once we arrived we were picked up on the airport and from that moment unwards Barack, Ken and George, our tour guide, took great care of us. Everything was arranged and got to see all the highlight of this beautiful region without facing any problems. I would definitely recommend Congo Discovery safaris to all of you as they are very well-organised, helpful, fun and flexibel!

Amazing Safari Experience
Lion King Adventures was a fantastic company to book with. As three women, we always felt well taken care of, safe, and like our best interests were always being looked out for.
The tents felt secure and safe, and were always put up for us. The food was delicious, and our cook Yusefu was such a lively and pleasant person to be around. He kept us so well fed with the yummiest meals.
Our guide, Saleh, really made our safari as phenomenal as it was. He was so patient and kind, answered all of our questions, and got to know us and tailored our safari to suit our interests. Not only did we see an extensive range of incredible animals, but he made sure we saw plenty of big cats (our obsession), we got to see an extraordinary number of lions, leopards, and even a cheetah that Saleh worked hard to find for us. He searched high and low for our favourites, and anticipated where they would move so he could follow them and put us in a prime position to view them and take absolutely amazing photos. I would recommend Saleh to anyone looking to plan a safari, and would insist he be my guide if I were to ever book another.
Thanks so much, Lion King Adventures! We had an amazing time.
