Responsive, reliable, great advice and guidance
Fantastic experience with this tour operator. Very quick to respond to inquiries; great advice planning the trip; everything went very smoothly. Good value for money compared to other companies we looked at. A real highlight was our wonderful tour guide and skilled driver, Geoffrey. We all felt safe and well looked after with him. He was from the Serengeti and his stories, knowledge and local insight really added to the trip. I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures.

Good professionals !
To Our guiding star Boaz,
Besides your knowledge of the wonder of safari (thanks to your advice and patience, we luckily saw the migration/crossing the Mara) and the love of wildlife,
You also have strong interpersonal skills!!
You are the best!

Great safari, would highly recommend
I travelled with African Chitah for a 4 day safari in July 2025 (Tarangire, Serengenti, Ngorongoro) - I was pleased that they came up with an option for me to do a 4-day safari as other companies I spoke with said it was too short so suggested I did minimum 5 days. As much as it would be great to do an extra day in the Serengeti, 4 days is still very much doable and I'm glad I opted for that! Just bear in mind that there are long drives but I think that would be the case even if you booked more days as you'd just go further into the Serengeti. It did mean we just missed the Great Migration in Central Serengeti though so bear that in mind if you do this in July.
Otherwise, I absolutely loved every single location on the safari, I got to see all the big 5 (including 40 lions on one day in the Serengeti!) and lots of other animals. The tour guides we had were also fabulous, always very helpful but greatly informative and friendly - they definitely helped make the trip!
I did a group safari and I was lucky enough to have a great group so it was really fun. The only downside is that we all tended to stay at different accommodation so this meant time for pick up and drop off each morning and evening. That being said, the positive is that you get to stay in the kind of accommodation you opted for and means the safari companies get to put different people together for the group safaris.
The accommodation was all great with all staff being very friendly and food being great if not really good! The lunches during the day on safari were also really good.
Finally, I liaised with Midian during the whole booking experience and throughout the safari when discussing transfers etc. Midian was always helpful and responsive. I really liked that the transfers were all included so I felt well looked after and safe travelling alone.
I really recommend African Chitah and would definitely travel with them again!

Amazing trip around Uganda
We had an amazing 17 day trip around Uganda with Ivan. Ivan helped us work out a tailored itinerary, which included Gorillas, hiking and safari trips. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking about going to Uganda!

Best Safari EVER!
Everything about this safari was amazing! From the moment we met them we were greeted with the kindest, most welcoming people. The guides got us to every animal we wanted to see, and were extremely knowledgeable about all of them. The jeep rides were so fun as they taught us Kenyan songs, told us funny stories, and became our friends! All the places we stayed exceeded my expectations by far. They were very nice and accommodating. The safari jeeps were very comfortable and nice, and always stocked with bottled water. Everything was planned out to perfection thanks to Catherine Chege. She was the sweetest to work with! If i go back to Kenya I will 100% be using them again!

Catherine Chege is a phenomenal tour operator-organized, passionate, knowledgeable, kind, & giving!
From start to finish, our African Safari with Retiti Safaris far exceeded all expectations! The level of service, comfort, and attention to detail was outstanding. The accommodations at Mtito Safari Camp, which is set in natural surroundings was just lovely. Clean, safe, and special. The fresh, homegrown food was so delicious!
The vehicles Retiti provided for all transportation were excellent! Clean, spacious, and able to manage the bumpy roads and muddy areas perfectly. Every day brought something magical-sunrise and sunset game drives, visits to the Giraffe Center and Elephant Orphanage, and a hot air balloon ride in the wild!
What made the experience truly exceptional were our amazing guides, lead by Catherine Chege. Their planning of everything, flexibility, knowledge of wildlife, landscape, and local culture was remarkable. They were all personable, passionate, and able to answer every question we had along the way, We were so fortunate to be able to see the Big Five, and so much more! I will be forever grateful for this once in a lifetime experience. I highly recommend Retiti Safaris! Ask for Catherine Chege to help you plan a trip that will become on of your most memorable! There aren't enough words to describe how incredible this was for my family and me!

Kentau could not have done better for our family trip!
We just got back from 2 weeks of traveling in Kenya as a family of 4 (kids age 10 and 13) organized and run by Kentau and had an absolutely amazing time. Dominic helped organizate the details and was tirelessly responsive and informative to my barrage of questions and iterations on our itinerary (I'm sure he thought they would never end!). Our driver/guide, and now friend, Fred was very experienced as well as focused on our trip, what would be best for our goals and to maximize our time in Kenya. He quickly worked through any unexacted bumps in the road that came up (because something will always come up!). Beyond expectations, Fred had unending patience for our girls (their ups and downs) and was genuinely engaged in their areas of interest like riding horses in the US and learning about softball. You could tell Fred was a life long learner himself and brings that love of information/exploration to his guiding. We could not have asked for a better trip and offer a BIG THANKS to the team that helped pull it off.

When is the best tours that we have ever taken.
At the beginning of the tour, I had a lot of doubt about the safety of being in Ethiopia. Once we arrived at the airport, we met Maereg and I started to feel more comfortable. At each moment, he made us feel safe and always was very attentive. At every step, he would answer any question that we would have. He was also an amazing photographer and took many great photos! Because of this and many more reasons, he made the trip to Ethiopia unforgettable. Thank you Maereg and team for all your help! God bless you! 🙏
Great Safari for the whole family
We went on an 8 day safari with two young children in July and had a fantastic trip. Before the trip all communication was done with Fredrick who was extremely responsive, usually responding within a few minutes. We made several modifications to the suggested itinerary, and Fredrick accommodated the requests and gave us several options to choose from when we didn't have something specific in mind. On the safari we had Jackson as our guide and he was incredible, asking what we wanted to get out of the tour (i.e. what animals we wanted to see) and he delivered on all requests (other than an elusive leopard :)). Jackson was very knowledgeable about the animals and locations while being very friendly and flexible and managing to maneuver the jeep into great viewing positions. Overall a great experience and would definitely recommend Apodiformes.
Excellence to the smallest detail.
A once in a lifetime “bucket list “ adventure. Exciting and beautiful from the second we landed. All accommodations were excellent with great staffs. Animals from the second the actual safari started. Highly educated tour guides made the trip that much more memorable. I can go on for hours with accolades. An absolute must in life!
