Reliable, Knowledgeable, professional and punctual
This was a bucket list trip for me so I was very concerned about it being ruined by bad organisation. It turned out better than I ever imagined. My son and I didn’t realise we would have private tours and safaris, we were treated to our own safari car. Our guides were always ready and waiting for us and adapted to any changes professionally. We saw the Big 5 and so much more including Gorillas. I will definitely be going with Ecovic Tours and Travel Uganda Ltd again.

Amazing experience, a memorable safari of a lifetime!!
The whole experience with the Safari Masai Mara was unparalleled. On the very first day, we got to see a huge rhino and a cheetah up close. The guide was very professional and experienced - he knew where to go when. The way they have paid attention to every need is really commendable. In a word, service, safety, and experience - everything is 5 stars.

Tour operator was extremely helpful, booking an amazing itinerary, and responding to our questions
The whole trip was amazing. The highlights of our trip were spending time with the gorillas and the ~5 hour mountain hike. We didn’t realize that we would be so close to the gorillas! The hike was incredible, but probably at the high end of intermediate. I would recommend training before taking on Mt Bisoke. We enjoyed a beautiful view of the mountain peak and a large caldera at the top. Would recommend spacing activities out as it does take 3+ hours to go from one destination to the next and taking a lot of snacks with you.

Trip of a lifetime
This was an amazing experience. Lion King handle every aspect of the trip. We stayed in amazing lodges and camps. Our guide Mkwanda had all the expertise and experience that made this an unforgettable experience that we will have for a lifetime. Keeping us away from the crowds while providing us those up close wildlife encounters everyone is looking for in a trip such as this.
Can't possibly say enough good things about this company and more specifically our guide Mkwanda. Would 100 percent recommend this company and even more specifically Mkwanda as a guide to anyone looking for an amazing safari experience in Tanzania.

Top notch communication and organization
Our experience with Family Leisure got off to an impressive start as they were the first to reply to our post. They immediately provided us with a proposed itinerary, including accommodation and all logistics. When I requested that we add a stay on the coast and asked for a suggestion as to how to return to Nairobi, they provided options and offered to do all the booking for us.
They continued to stay in communication as our arrival in Kenya approached. Then Geoffrey and Wisley came to see us off at the hotel and gave us some nice gifts.
Simon, our driver and guide, was highly knowledgeable and professional throughout. Our kids, ages 10 and 12, got to see all the animals they had been hoping for, some VERY close up.
We are so grateful to Simon and the whole Family Leisure organization for making our week in Kenya an experience we will never forget.

10 Day Northern Highlight Trip
Our safari with Lucas Tshupo was nothing short of incredible. Just from our first morning drive, he was able to quickly track two male lions we heard near our camp the night before—his instinct for finding wildlife was truly remarkable. Lucas knew exactly where to go and when to wait, making every game drive—day and night—feel like we were in the right place at the right time. Lucas is a genuinely kind person who made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout.
Wild For Game's mobile camping crew also deserves praise—each time we arrived at a new location, everything—from tents to amenities—was already beautifully arranged and ready for us to settle in. Their thoughtful service created a stress-free rhythm that let us focus on soaking in the experience.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and far beyond what you'd expect in the middle of the bush. I'm going to miss some of those meals!
Lucas crafted our itinerary to take us through Mormei, Khwai, and Savute, before wrapping up in Victoria Falls. Each reserve and park offered its own distinct landscapes and wildlife, making every stop feel fresh and different. Ending in Victoria Falls was the perfect finish—and the accommodation Lucas arranged for us there was absolutely top-notch.
Hands down, this trip was a 5/5 experience—and a memory we'll never forget.

Resoundingly Great Safari
Our guide, Marck, was outstanding. He knew the bush like the back of his hand; all the watering holes, migration tracks, etc., and had an innate sense of where to find animals. We were pleased to note that he was respectful of wildlife and avoided spooking them. Being a private tour, Marck was flexible and went where and how we wanted. We witnessed myriad species and countless numbers of the animals thanks to Marck's sharp instincts and experience in the bush. We had front-row seats to the great migration and to nature at its best.
A huge thank you to everyone who was involved in making our trip such a resounding success.

Natasha was patient, kind and an expert in all things Namibia!
Where do we even begin? From the moment we landed in Namibia, every detail of our journey felt thoughtfully curated and filled with heart and that’s all thanks to Natasha.
She didn’t just plan a trip; she crafted an unforgettable experience that made us feel truly special every step of the way. From the breathtaking lodges to the seamless logistics, surprise touches, and personalized moments, it was clear how much care and intention she put into every part of our adventure.
Natasha, your passion for creating meaningful travel experiences shines through in everything you do. You made us feel celebrated, cared for, and completely at ease to soak in the magic of Namibia. This was more than a vacation it was a memory of a lifetime, and it wouldn’t have been the same without you.
Thank you for making our dream trip a reality. We’re already dreaming of what you’ll plan next!
