5 stars!
Zanzi Trekking exceeded our expectations in every way. Justin and Honest made sure to have briefing sessions with us before each of our treks to Mt Meru and Kili. They checked our gear and gave us a thorough view of what our schedule would be like. Every part of the experience was better than I could have imagined. The food was amazing, and it’s all even more impressive considering that the chef, Dastan, and porters can bring all that delicious food up to 4500 meters elevation for us! Our team of porters (Calvin, Dominick, Lazaro, Matayo, Preygod, Elisha, and Tumani) were amazing and attentive to all our needs. Calvin provided excellent service, helping us to wake up in the morning and serving us meals, tea, snacks etc. Dominick and Lazaro accompanied us to the summits and were always there to make sure we had all the help we needed to ensure we got to the top! Last but not least, our guides were absolutely amazing. Justin, our main guide for Meru and Kili was so knowledgable and encouraging. He always was there to make sure we were happy, healthy, and equipped to make it to each summit. David was our assistant guide for Kili, and his good attitude and encouragement was very welcome. Getting to the summit of these mountains is no easy task, but this team made it so much more possible for us.

Good communication and management
From the start the team were extremely responsive, they replied our initial query several days ahead of their competitors. This was an indicator for future interaction, with Wines updating our itinerary as we loomed at different options for our vacation. We were also impressed how the team pivoted when they discovered issues with some of the options and immediately provided arranged alternatives.
This gave us a good level of comfort that, if ever necessary, they would be there to sort it out. Whilst on the trip, our outbound internal flight was changed, and Wines helped us with this too.
Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and had a clear passion for his job and the natural world. Exceptional driving skills to manage the terrain!

Incredible experience all around, a true eco-conscious safari - amazing team, lodges, cars, food!
I have had the chance to experience safaris across Tanzania and Kenya over the last 10 years and I can honestly say that Lion King Adventures was my top Safari experience. I booked my Mum and I in for a special trip to Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater, and from start to finish it was excellent service. Great communication before hand, with a precisely tailored itinerary based on our requests. Their safari vehicle was a brand new 2024 Land Cruiser, fully decked out with charging stations, fridge, back support pillows and very spacious. Our driver Saleh was not just incredibly professional but so kind and fun throughout. Thanks to him, we managed to see all the Big Five in 1 single day in Ngorongoro Crater! He also went above and beyond to get us safely to the airport despite issues with airline delays. The food service was superb, and Lion King pays special attention to being environmental friendly with their amazing metal food thermoses, and reusable cutlery. When we would park for picnic lunches in the Parks next to other groups, you would see other groups with lots of paper and plastic boxes and utensils, and creating a lot of trash. Not only was the quality of the food great, but we really appreciated that extra thought around sustainability. The lodges we stayed at were excellent standard, with great food, views, hot water and gorgeous tents. Lion King even went out of their way to print us a custom wine bottle - these small touches were incredible. We are super grateful to both Saleh for showing us an amazing experience, but also Gordon for his excellent communication and diligent support in getting everything organized for us. Asanteni sana!

I Highly recommend Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris for anyone looking to experience the magic of Afric
Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a safari adventure in Kruger National Park, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Located in northeastern South Africa, Kruger is one of Africa's largest and most renowned game reserves, offering an unforgettable wildlife experience.
The highlight of any safari, of course, is the chance to see iconic African wildlife in their natural habitat. Kruger did not disappoint. Within the first few hours, we had already spotted a pride of lions lounging under a tree, which set the tone for the trip. Over the course of the safari, I had the privilege of seeing the "Big Five"—lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos—along with a stunning array of other animals like giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, and even the elusive wild dogs. The diversity of wildlife is incredible, and it felt like every turn offered a new and exciting discovery.
A safari in Kruger National Park is an experience like no other. From the stunning wildlife to the breathtaking landscapes, every moment felt extraordinary. Whether you’re a seasoned safari-goer or a first-time visitor, the park offers something for everyone. It's a place where you can connect with nature, witness the raw beauty of the African wilderness, and leave with unforgettable memories.
I Highly recommend Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris for anyone looking to experience the magic of Africa up close!
