The operator and the guide were top notch.
I was nervous when I booked this trip, you know with all the scams going around these days. But every time I sent an email asking some questions the staff at Wildlife Safaris quickly responded. Barney our guide was very knowledgeable and willing to work to meet our interests. By the end of the second day we had seen all the big five animals and many of the others on our list. We are already planning our next trip to Africa.

So knowledgeable!
PJ (Emmanuel) was the absolute best tour guide! I learned so much every single day, and even though our trip was short, we saw all the animals and nature that we wanted to see. Within hours of getting to the Serengeti, we saw 4 of the big 5 animals. PJ is so talented in finding them and knew so much about them. My friend and I loved all the places we stayed in - we were secure from the elements and had all the modern amenities while also being respectful of the magnificent nature we were in. Highly recommend this adventure and our tour guide for anyone looking for thrills and knowledge!

Professional tour operators with attention to detail
Professional tour operators with attention to detail. Very accommodative of our requests without any hesitation. The guide we got was Ken and he is a veteran with 30 plus years of safari driving experience. He knows every corner of the masai mara and has a large network of guide friends who call him directly on rare sightings. We were able to see leopard eating his kill, cheeta hunting and eating the kill, lions hunting and eating the kill, zebra's crossing from the serengetty as part of probably the first batch of migration, lots of wildebeests, elephants, giraffes and buffalos. He took us to the mara river and we were able to spot crocodiles too... He is not at all bothered by our frequent requests to stop, adjust the vehicle for a better angle, breaks and even does them without even asking. Thanks to Axis Africa to give him as our guide for our 4 day adventure.

Unforgettable Safari in Serengeti – Highly Recommend Dan!
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, and our guide and driver, Dan, played a huge role in making it so special.
Dan is a highly experienced driver with excellent driving skills — always calm, confident, and in control, even on the roughest roads. On top of that, he has a wonderful sense of humor and a warm, engaging personality that made every moment enjoyable.
What truly sets Dan apart is his deep knowledge of wildlife and his incredible ability to spot animals, even from a distance. He explained animal behaviors in great detail and was always happy to adjust the itinerary based on our interests. He really paid attention to what we wanted and went out of his way to make sure we had the best possible sightings.
Over the course of our safari, we saw an amazing variety of animals — especially lions, which was a highlight for us. Thanks to Dan’s sharp eye and expertise, we got to witness some once-in-a-lifetime moments.
This trip was everything we hoped for and more. I would highly recommend this company — and especially Dan — to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic tour operator everything was perfect from accommodations, itinerary, and driver/guide.
From start to finish Fred at Frena Adventures was great to communicate with. We were a bunch of three older ladies that went on this trip. Our trip was for the Rwanda gorilla trek and Golden Monkey with a day at Lake Kivu. Our trip dates changed a few times and Fred was able to make all the changes accordingly. There were many questions and concerns and Fred answered everything professionally and timely. We did the mid-range tour. Accommodations were clean, service was great and the food was fantastic. Our driver Ronald was personable, always prompt to pick us up and make sure we got to our activities on time. He was a very careful driver. I would certainly use frena Adventures again and highly recommend them.

Excellent
Our family had been dreaming of going on a safari in Tanzania this June, and once we decided to make it happen, the next big question was: which tour company do we choose? With no clear starting point, I reached out to five different companies for quotes. Right from the beginning, Lion King Adventures stood out. Their itinerary was detailed, they offered a great selection of accommodations—especially Nyota Luxury Camp, which was a real highlight—and they were able to provide two private, air-conditioned jeeps for our group of seven. They also made sure our dietary needs were fully met, which was a huge relief.
I worked closely with Caroline and Rose on all the planning and booking, and honestly, the entire process was incredibly smooth. Most of our communication happened through WhatsApp and a few phone calls, and they were always warm, responsive, and flexible with our schedule.
Once on the ground, our guides Freddie and Joseph made the experience truly unforgettable. Their knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and even the history of the areas we visited was amazing. They drove with such care and patience, which made a big difference given how bumpy the safari roads can be (we jokingly called it our daily "African massage"). What made the trip even more special were the personal stories they shared—about their lives, their families, and the passion they have for what they do. We even taught each other a few words in our respective languages, which was a fun bonus.
Every hotel we stayed at was wonderful, with friendly staff and great vegetarian options—something we really appreciated. From the concierge to the housekeeping teams, everyone made us feel welcome and well taken care of.
A special thanks to Tuma, who greeted us at the Kilimanjaro airport with a smile after a long journey, and to Jafery, who drove us safely to Moshi at the beginning of our trip.
This was an unforgettable adventure, and our experience with Lion King Adventures was nothing short of fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to explore Tanzania. They helped turn a long-held dream into a beautiful reality.

Perfect customer service and organization
Since the very beginning of the organization, this agency was the best one: very quick responses, they adapted the organized tour of 16 days to our needs because we had "only" 14 days. Leilani and Philip made a great job booking all the accommodation and organising the trip. They answered very quickly about all our doubts about the organisation. We chose the mid range lodges with food included. We were expecting the typical sandwich ham and cheese but it was an amazing surprise to know that everyday the meals were in a restaurant, and you could choose whatever you wanted. The lodges were also above our expectations, almost all of them with a swimming pool and comfortable beds. A special mention to our guide, Akser, that made a big effort to make us satisfied and happy. He's a very good driver, and in etosha was capable of seeing animals from very far away. He was also available to stop whenever we needed it.
Recommended 100%. The price worth it.
If i can give just a suggestion, in etosha, due to the distances, would be better the namotoni lodge instead of halali.
Anyway thanks to Akser we saw Lions, Elephants, cheetah and Ryno!
Amazing experience!!

A unforgettable experience to the roof of Africa, made by the people at Almighty Kilimanjaro!
Where do I start, this was one of the best experiences I have ever had and a mental challenge that I will never forget especially summit night!!
The communication from Almighty Kilimanjaro from start to finish was excellent!!
The trip was exactly as described in terms of the route, however we decided to change it to 7 days on the Lemosho route, this was out of my choice and there was no pressure by anyone to make this change on the mountain!
Muntari you are a gem and I truly thank you for taking me up the mountain with you and your team and giving me your knowledge of the mountain and sharing stories with me, a little Eminem also helped!!
You made me laugh so much on this trip and the memories shared with you will always be with me. Your daughter is so lucky to have a father like you!!
Chef Shabani, you kept me energised throughout the trip and made me look forward to each and every meal time, especially with those pancakes and if I could take you home to be my private chef then I would, but I don’t want to take you away from Muntari as I think he might miss you!! Thank you for everything and helping guide me down on the descent.
Amani, thank you for the hot tea every morning and the washie washie water every day. Your smile each morning made me motivated from the first point every morning, you are a real treasure!!
Also thank you to the rest of of the other porters, you work so hard each day to ensure camp is set up before I arrive and without you guys, I would have never made it down from the summit!
Thank you to you all and for welcoming me to your beautiful country, I will never forget this experience or any of you and you will forever have a place in my heart!!
I wish all good health to you and your families and future safety on every future climb up the mountain!
Nawapende Sana, Asanteni Sana, Rafiki Sana!!!

Knowledgeable and very responsive
Janet, our agent, was the consummate professional throughout our experience. She was attentive and accommodating during the planning process and made any requested changes in a timely manner. She was in constant contact with us throughout our trip and made sure to keep us informed of our itinerary and any changes that might have occurred. Our accommodations were first class. If you’re headed to Masai Mara request the Sarova Lodge and thank me later. The value for the money was superb. All of our guides and drivers were knowledgeable, professional and just good people all around. Our transfers were seamless. The safaris, mountain hikes, visits to local villages and beach experiences and everything in between were simply amazing. We highly recommend Janet and Jaavia Adventures when planning your trip to Kenya and Tanzania.
