A perfect trip for sure.
This was our first trip to Tanzania, and Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris made our experience memorable. Our guide Raymond was very knowledgeable and friendly and always tried to keep us comfortable. We saw elephants and flamingos at Lake Manyara, and the landscape inside Ngorongoro Crater was like a dream - lions, zebras, and a group of hyenas! The car was perfect; everything was on time. A perfect trip for sure.

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.

Super responsive and personalized service
This was our first time booking an experience like this so I tried to research the companies thoroughly before choosing and I’m so glad we went with Easy Travel. Zainab and Marziya were attentive and responsive to all my questions and worries during the planning phases, easily accommodating the addition of two more people to our party. They also made sure we had all our paperwork done ahead of time so that our arrival in Tanzania was smooth.
On the actual safari, our driver guide Denis was the absolute highlight. His expert driving and navigation had us feeling safe. With his knowledge and experience we were able to see a wide variety of animals including the "big five" and his sense of humour kept us laughing the entire time. We will absolutely be back!

Very helpful trip planners - knowledgeable guides and flawless details for planning
Nsavi was the perfect tour operator. Using a local company meant a lot to us and Sara had every detail planned perfectly even though our itinerary changed several times. Our guide Jacob was also incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.

7 Day Viva Safari - June 2025
I do not normally provide reviews but on this occasion decided to provide potential Viva Safari visitors with an insight as to our experiences.
I booked the safari directly with Viva Safaris rather than going through a tour operator. From my first emails, Patricia Landau was exceptionally prompt and helpful in her responses. I asked many questions and was provided with all the information I needed. We selected the 7 day safari based at the Tremisana Lodge. We were picked up promptly at our Johannesburg airport hotel and driven to Kruger in time for our first sunset drive. Amazingly we saw 3 of the big 5 on that first drive. Once back at the lodge we checked into our accommodation which is rustic and comfortable. During our week we were driven by numerous of the Viva team. All were very informative about the animals and were keen to enable us to see as many different species as possible. We found Andy and Marc to be extremely enthusiastic, every day seemed an adventure for them too. The schedules are packed each day. Having been on a safari previously we were delighted with the amount of time out in jeeps on this Viva safari. We must have averaged over 7 hours per day actually tracking animals. We managed to see all the big 5, with the highlights being 8 lions walking beside the jeep literally 5 minutes from the lodge, a cheetah walking beside the jeep in Kruger, 3 hyena cubs lazing by the road in Kruger and 14 giraffes walking beside the road totally ignoring us, a boa constrictor sunbathing in a tree and 2 male wildebeest fighting for territory and breeding rights. With regard to the lodge itself, the team worked hard to ensure we were well fed, the food was good, plentiful and filling and the chefs added their own cakes, cookies and desserts. Each mealtime the visitors met at the Lapa restaurant to discuss their sightings, share experiences and add to the enjoyment. Just outside the perimeter of the Lapa (literally 20 metres from our seats) we had daily visits from hyenas, a family of 5 warthogs, honey badgers, elephants, guinea fowl and numerous other birds. At Tremisana we met many fun loving people from all over Europe, Asia and America which all added to the experience. What a fantastic holiday. It was definitely a 5 out of 5 experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to spend their safari holiday actually viewing animals rather than sitting beside a pool.

Most wonderful Super Eagles Travel and Tours
Most wonderful Super Eagles Travel and Tours.
I have traveled for 24 full days in Kenya with the most wonderful Super Eagles Travel and Tours agency, from May 23rd to June 16th 2025.
I chosed this agency after having compared her travel proposition with the ones of quite many other agencies.
My travel agent in charge of my vacation was Brian, a very kind, helpful and reactive agent. Always available so quickly to answer any questions by Whatsapp and email.
He understood my needs and my interests. So I traveled in Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Aberdare, Nairobi, Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Longonot, Hell's Gate, Amboseli, Tsavo West and East, and along the coast from Vanga to Lamu.
All the drivers and guides I had were really nice and talkative guys, and very profesional as well.
All was so well organized, accomodation was incredible.
From beginning to end, all was perfect, without any problem.
The price was very competitive, the cheapest one of all the several agencies I had contacted. And I am very satisfied with the high quality of the offer of this agency.
This agency was also very flexible during the travel. I actually wanted to stay one day less in Masai Mara to have one more day in Tsavo East, and Brian arranged it quickly without problem, even with a few days of short notice.
I highly recommend to travel in Kenya with Super Eagles Travel and Tours. I had perfect vacation with this agency.
I consider Brian and all the people working in this agency as friends, brothers and sisters. Brian was also of great help for personal issues I was dealing with.
Many many thanks to Brian and all the people working in Super Eagles.

Unforgettable 4-Day Safari with Hyrax Safari's - Truly a Trip of a Lifetime!
We recently returned from a 4-day safari with Hyrax Safaris to Samburu and Ol Pejeta, and it was nothing short of incredible.
From the moment we started planning, communication with Irene was smooth and efficient. She was always available, professional, and went above and beyond—especially when our flights were delayed. She handled changes and special requests at short notice with ease and understanding.
Our guide, George, was fantastic. Friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, he exceeded our expectations. His sharp eye for wildlife led to multiple unforgettable sightings of leopards and cheetahs. He also introduced us to unique experiences we hadn’t planned for, like visiting the Mt. Kenya Wildlife Conservancy Animal Orphanage—an unexpected highlight with amazing close-up animal encounters.
The accommodations were excellent, especially Elephant Bedroom Camp. The setting was magical—imagine checking into your tent with an elephant waiting outside! We had several elephant visits during our stay, making the experience even more special.
Having traveled to Kenya multiple times, I can confidently say this was our best trip yet. The combination of service quality, unforgettable wildlife encounters, and our incredible guide George made it truly exceptional.
Highly recommend Hyrax Safaris—they made this trip one we will never forget
