Amazing unforgettable experience
5/5

"Friendly & Good Value
I did the 5-day Bwindi , Queen Elizabeth trip when I landed in Uganda (and a 1-day birding tour to Mabamba very recently.
Both times Irene was very responsive to questions and helpful before I booked, and the driver/guide Ismail was friendly and flexible throughout the trip .We changed the itinerary alitle after my gorilla trek in Bwindi forest on the last 2 days which was nice to explore lake Bunyonyi island as well.The lodges where fine than I expected and would surely use them"

Expectations Exceeded
5/5

We do a great deal of traveling, but have never ventured to Africa so we were a bit apprehensive. We booked AUS' higher end, 6 day Kenya/Tanzania trip and added a day to include Lake Nakuru with a bonus of a stop at Lake Naivasha. Though we went in April (part of the wet season), we had fine weather and ample opportunity to spot every specie you can imagine. Paul, Eunice and Purity were wonderful in tailoring the tour to suit our needs and preferences were always quick to respond no how many inquiries I had submitted. The 4 lodges (Sarova Lion Hill, Sarova Mara Game Camp, Serengeti Sopa Lodge and Ngoro Ngoro Sopa Lodge) we stayed at were all lovely, each providing a unique experience whether it was monkeys on our patio in the mornings, giraffes wandering around just outside out window or the experience of a tented camp. Each lodge was also strategically chosen by AUS to keep up close to the entrance of, or well within the parks allowing for ease of access to the game drives each morning. Our 2 guides had very different styles. Kennedy, who goes by Ken (9 yrs experience), was very methodical in how we'd traverse the parks. He seemed to get a feel for our preferences immediately and just stuck to that plan the whole way through. We were truly sorry to part ways at the end of our Kenyan portion. He was absolutely wonderful. In Tanzania, we were met by our new guide, Saba (12 yrs experience). He took a very different approach. He was very well informed and often moved at his own pace which, at first, was a bit frustrating for us. But by the 2nd day, it became clear that his personal pace was a reflection of his knowledge of the landscape. He knew the specific territories of the individual animals that inhabited the park so would bypass some of the more open, empty spaces at higher speeds. However, when we asked him to slow down, he did accommodate our request. I'd suggest that he should probably lay off of the personal cell phone calls/texts a bit though. They were nearly constant. I'll share one specific story about Saba because I don't want to leave the reader with the impression that he's a lesser guide. All of the guides share information on sightings to help support their industry. The leopard is one of the hardest animals to observe. When word came over the radio that there was sighting several kilometers away, there was a mad dash by all trucks to reach that point. Saba shouted "Shortcut!" and motioned to the caravan to follow him off into the middle of the plains, seemingly in the wrong direction and no one took him up on it. We were starting to become dismayed as it felt like we were being taken away from the location for quite some time. He took a few obscure turns and minutes later, we were pulling up to the leopard sighting. We waited and he positioned us perfectly as the leopard crossed right in front our our truck. We continued to watch the leopard as it strolled off. Several minutes after the leopard had disappeared, the other trucks from the caravan finally arrived having missed it all. I would highly recommend this company. The price was fair, the accommodations were excellent, the service was wonderful and the sightings were plentiful. This was a life-long goal of mine and AUS helped me to fulfill it and then some.

Excellent trip
5/5

We had a safari with Jocky Tours 8-14 of May. All was great. We visited Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli. Our guide Joshua was very polite, qualified man. Due to his explanations, we found out a lot of about wild animals and nature of Kenya. We have seen the big five! We are particularly grateful for the organization of a boat trip on Naivasha. We enjoyed it a lot.

We thank you, Minnech, Joshua, James for this excellent trip.

Safari holiday in Botswana
5/5

We had a fabulous holiday – nothing to criticise; all the accommodation was excellent, we were extremely well looked after and it was all seamless in moving from one place to another either by plane or road - we went to two camps in Botswana for two days each at the Lagoon and Lebala camps. Food was just right - nothing to fancy - and I can't see how our holiday could have been improved. Our four children loved it and it was like stepping back in time with no mobiles, emails or internet so they had no escape. We had great views of lions, a leopard in a tree, masses of elephants, giraffes etc – nothing really escaped our eagle eyed guides. Four days was about the right length for us.

Organisation was excellent and Llauren at To Escape To were very helpful in making suggestions and dealing with all the day to day changes in planning the itinerary. All very clear. I shall be saving up our pennies!

For lovers of nature and relax
Overall rating
5/5

Staying at Tlopi tented camp it felt so relaxed, surrounded by pure nature, observing birds and wild animals drinking at the waterpool, fabulous sundown and sunset and a clear starfull night. It felt so nice this solitude yet richness of nature. The safari from gate to the camp was a wonderful ride with all the zebra's, impala's, monkeys around. The accomodation was with all the comfort the visitor needs.

5/5

Pro Shuttle, Tours & Adventures was great to work with. Our driver, Andrew was right on time, very safe and made for an easy and comfortable ride from Cape Town to Paternoster. We had 14 people in the van making the excursion for my wife's and my wedding. This was not an easy trip, as it was a 2 hour journey and our driver had to make the journey all the way back to Cape Town after midnight as well -- quite a long day. We were very lucky and grateful to have Pro Shuttle provide this exceptional service. Highly recommend!

A superbly organized 13 day promotional Zambia expedition
5/5

I've just returned from Zambia, where I had my 1st southern African experience. Usually I plan my own itineraries and travel independently but in viewing this tour, it had all the elements that were attractive to me. The expedition included a 2 1/2 days canoeing and camping trip on the Lower Zambezi River. Denver made my experience in Zambia very rewarding. He went well beyond what was in the original itinerary, enabling me to maximize my time at each national park. Although animal sightings were not as numerous during the green season, I liked the lack of crowds at both Kafue and South Luangwa national parks. I'd like to thank Denver for assuring a great experience in Zambia and I hope to return in the future

5/5

It was very important to us to contact a local safari company in order to have a tailor made trip and save costs of middlemen and traveling agencies.
There are so many Safari companies online and it is very difficult to find a trustworthy local company just from reading online.
We knew that Lion King Adventure are trustworthy from our first WhatsApp call we've made with James and we were right.

My girlfriend and I spent 16 days in Tanzania and it was the best trip we have ever made. Salle and James went into scrupulous detail making sure that every single aspect of our trip was exactly what we wanted - it felt like a truly tailor-made experience.

We would 100% recommend Lions King Adventure to anyone looking at a private African safari and in best price!


Для нас было очень важно связаться с местной сафари-компанией, чтобы организовать индивидуальную поездку и сэкономить средства на посредников и туристических агентств. Сейчас в интернете так много сафари-компаний, но очень трудно найти местную и надежную одновременно. С нами связался Джеймс!) После этого первого WhatsApp звонка с Lion King Adventure мы поняли, что они заслуживают доверия, и мы были правы. Я и моя девушка провели в Танзании 16 дней, и это была лучшая поездка, которую мы когда-либо совершали. Салле и Джеймс очень скрупулёзно готовились, чтобы каждый аспект нашей поездки был именно таким, каким мы себе представляли, они такжн терпеливо учитывали наши запросы в еде ;+) - это был действительно индивидуальный подход! Мы рекомендуем на 100% Lion King Adventure всем, кто смотрит на частное африканское сафари и по лучшей цене!


האינטרנט מוצף בחברות ספארי שמפרסמות את עצמן ואם אתם בוחרים ליצור קשר ישירות עם מקומיים מבלי סוכנות נסיעות מתווכת חשוב למצוא מישהו שאפשר לסמוך עליו
לאחר סינון ארוך של כל החברות שמצאתי באינטרנט מצאתי את ג'יימס כבחור שאפשר לסמוך עליו וגם על החוות דעת שתקראו עליהם מחזקות את זה.

הוא אסף אותנו משדה התעופה ולשמחתי צדקתי שבחרתי בהם
היה לנו טיול דינמי שהותאם לצרכים והרצונות שלנו במקום ואף בסופו לקחנו את הגיפ בנהיגה עצמית מהצפון לדאר אסלאם ועברנו נסיעה חווייתית ללא מדריך בטנזניה ובפארקים לאומיים בדרך.

מומלץ ביותר ליצור אתם קשר ולהגיע ישירות לטנזניה. ג'יימס יאסוף אתכם משדה התעופה וידאג לכל מה שתצטרכו בצורה פדנטית.

We had a wonderful vacation planned thougth Adventura Africa. They took great care of us every step of the way. Every driver, guide, hotel and air transfer was superb. If I am able to return to Africa, I will use Adventura Africa to plan the entire trip. I highly recommend them.
