Amazing safari
My partner and I just did a two day safari with Shammah Wonders and had an amazing time. Everything was seamless from booking to getting there, and our tour guides Elly and Tiko were incredible too. They were both so knowledgeable, attentive and kind; a true credit to their company! We really wanted to see a lion and they did everything they could to find one, and the hard work paid off. We couldn’t be more grateful for their hospitality and they truly made our experience better. Thank you for the unforgettable memories.

Unforgettable Experience!
From the moment I arrived at the airport and saw Justin from Lion King Adventures waiting for me I knew I was in good hands. He took me to the first accommodation in Arusha, his car was clean and he gave me a lot of interesting info about Tanzania.
For the safari week we started with a flight to Seronera, flying low over the Serengeti which was incredible and then we we greeted by our four tour guides: Saleh, Ozzie, Yuzuph and Emmanuel. The game vehicles were clean, comfortable and in very good condition. Each one had charging ports and a fridge full of cold drinks, a really nice touch!
These guides were absolute legends. Their knowledge and friendliness made every moment enjoyable as they shared countless facts about the wildlife and nature. We explored Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and were incredibly lucky to spot many animals, including the Big Five. A highlight was when they took us to a part of the migration, what an unforgettable experience!
I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures!

Unforgettable Safari Experience with an Incredible Guide
As a solo traveler, I was a bit nervous about joining a group tour, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. The group was warm and welcoming, and we quickly became friends. Our guide, Khalifa, was absolutely outstanding - he knew every corner of the park and shared fascinating stories and insights that brought the entire experience to life. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and learned so much more than we expected. The tour was well-organized, exciting, and great value for money compared to other operators I looked into. I’m truly glad I chose Axis Africa and shared this unforgettable adventure with such a great group.

Avoid like Black Mamba
Modus Operandi - collects full fare. Does not pay to service providers. Drivers wait endlessly at park gate. You end up paying entry fee, fuel, hotel charges. The CEO vanishes from scene. KATO suspended them. But they have managed to resurface. TRA , the authority who blacklist, has not done anything. I saw some other operator black listed but not Natural World. With all the amounts being diverted must be having a huge cash reserve to pull strings.!
Amazing
The trip was well organized you didn’t have to worry about a thing. The organizer was very good and always available, which made communication excellent. He make sure everything was going smoothly throughout the trip, and if you needed anything, he was easy to reach.
A magical journey with fantastic planning.
Highly recommended!

A truly amazing company that will stay with us forever!
Our safari with Leisure Escapes truly was a memorable trip. From the beginning when my partner and I were getting information, Esther was always there to answer any questions/concerns we had. She also constructed us a very detailed itinerary for our safari so that we knew exactly where we were staying whether it be in lodges or hotels, the areas that we would travel to, what meals/drinks were included, what optional extras we could do such as Masai Village visits, boat trips, and what animals we would come across in the different national parks! She was very thorough from the beginning which made us feel at ease.
Our Safari guide Duncan deserves a massive shoutout too. He has 20+ years of Safari experience under his belt. His professionalism, his patience, his knowledge of the animals and his ability to spot animals from a far distance all deserve mentioning! He was the perfect person for us to experience a safari with, and he never let the long hours driving ever dwindle his spirit, he was always focused on giving us the best experience possible and finding the best spots to see the animals up close. You spend so much time with your guide that you build a bond that is sad to leave when you depart.
As for the animals, we saw everything from Lions, hyenas, giraffes, rhinos, elephants, buffalos, hippos, zebras, warthogs the list is endless. To see them freely in their natural habitat truly was a wonderful experience that i will keep with me for a lifetime. It’s so hard to truly put into words how amazing of an experience a safari truly is.
The accommodations chosen by Esther were always top quality! She really listened to what we wanted and found the best places. Special mention to Nepture Mara in Masai Mara, a luxury lodge with an amazing group of staff there, our own Butler, wonderful room with a massive bathroom and views overlooking a river with many hippos swimming and relaxing. The food there was some of the best I’ve ever experienced.
We cannot thank Esther , Duncan and Leisure Escapes as a whole for providing us such an amazing Safari experience. It was everything we wanted and more and was worth every penny spent. As far as value for money goes, they ticked every box for us. We were even provided with Masai Cloths and personalised water bottles on day 1 as gifts which was a nice touch. When we do return there is only one company we will be going for and that is Leisure Escapes.
A truly amazing company that will stay with us forever.

Professional, knowledgable, good fun & safe!
Wow! What an amazing experience!
So glad we chose this safari company, they were brilliant from start to finish!
Brenda was so helpful organising a 2day safari and Isaac was great guide and safe driver!
First day was Tarangire NP up close with elephants, giraffes & zebras which was amazing, we then stayed overnight in a beautiful Lodge!
Unfortunately our flight was delayed so we were behind all day and late getting to Lodge to make most of it and up early next morning to go to Ngorongoro crater, which is full of animals to spot, not so close as Tarangire but used binoculars and saw lion & rhino in the distance!
It was cold that day and could have done with a sweatshirt, which we didn’t have!
We flew from Zanzibar and other people staying in our resort went for day safari using another company & were really disappointed!
Highly recommend Goldfinch Adventures, they are professional and you feel safe, which if like me safari is a bit out of your comfort zone is very important!
We have wonderful memories and maybe wish we had done a 3 day safari instead of 2! :)
