The Safari of Our Dreams – Seamless, Special, and So Worth It!
Wow wow wow!
Short review:
They got us 100%. Couldn't be happier — this was truly the trip of a lifetime!
Longer review:
We reached out to Gorilla O’Clock while searching for the right tour operator for our African safari. After contacting a few different companies, I ended up working with Paul over several weeks to fine-tune our itinerary — shortening, expanding, choosing the starting and ending locations — every detail!
My husband and I didn’t know anyone who had done a safari before, so we had no idea what to expect. Paul and his team were incredibly responsive, answering all our questions and easing every concern. I have multiple health considerations, including Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease, and Paul made sure to communicate my dietary needs to each of our accommodations.
From the moment we landed in Nairobi, everything was taken care of. We were picked up at the airport by our guide, and every lodge we stayed at was absolutely stunning — with all the amenities you could want. We even celebrated my birthday during the trip, and the team went above and beyond to make it a truly unforgettable day.
Our drivers, Joe (Kenya) and Lucas (Tanzania), were phenomenal. Thanks to their skill and determination, we saw the Big Five — not once, but twice! Their knowledge, warmth, and passion made each game drive so special. We genuinely miss spending our days with them already.
I can’t recommend Gorilla O’Clock enough. This safari was an unreal, life-changing experience that my husband and I will cherish forever. Book the trip — you will not regret it!

Very good with little kids
Everything was well organized. Our guide Endeni, who was also our driver, was experienced, very friendly, and helpful. We had an amazing time—beyond our expectations! We saw all the animals we wanted to see up close. The lodges were well arranged and the staff were friendly.

Major Fraudulent Activity
We booked 10 days safari with them for Kenya and Tanzania. After paying 80% of the money- they stopped responding over email, call, whatsapp, instagram, facebook, linkedin. They just vanished!
I would recommend please stay away from them at all cost!

Super!
We had a very positive experience with the entire Lion King organization. Florida listened to our requests and was able to design a wonderful safari that allowed us to visit all of the areas we wanted. Our guide was Yuseph, and he was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and he was a pleasure to spend the 6 days. He was able to help us find all of the animals we were interested in seeing and he demonstrated ethical respect for the animals and for their habitats. We would strongly recommend choosing Lion King!

A beautiful experience with amazing and kind people!!!
The team was very kind and generous with our group. They were talkative during the trek and put in a great effort to make connections with us and create a happy environment. The service was also AMAZING from carrying our bags, cooking us food, making sure we stayed healthy and treating the group with kindness. They were also extremely educated and whenever we had questions they were quick to answer them! Overall the trip was the most memorable and cherished trek I’ve been on. Thank you so much for making my trip amazing!!

Incredible Tanzanian Safari with Meseno Adventures
I recently returned from my Tanzanian holiday and if I could give Samwel and Meseno Adventures more than 5 stars on this review I would. The entire experience from start to finish was exceptional. The level of organization and attention to every detail of him and his team meant that there was nothing to do but relax and enjoy the journey.
I was immensely pleased with the selection of Siafu Serenity Lodge and the Serengeti Classic View Camp as our resting points during the Safari, particularly with regards to the beauty of the spaces, the comfort of the rooms and the delicious, varied menus that took severe food allergies into serious consideration. I cannot thank Meseno Adventures enough for attending to this even before I arrived.
I must make special mention of our tour guides Vinance and Ameeri. Not only were they knowledgeble about any and all things Tanzanian, Safari and Animal related, I am utterly convinced that they are the best Safari drivers in Tanzania:)
They handled their vehicles confidently and masterfully on extremely rough terrain, and got us to some amazing animal moments.
I believe we benefitted greatly from having local Tanzanian guides as Meseno Adventures is owned by a young Tanzanian entrepreneur, Samwel Masaga and his staff are Tanzanian as well. Our tour guides described the Serengeti as their second home and this was truly how they shared it with us.
Thank you Samwel and team for making this once in a lifetime experience such a memorable one!😊

Amazing 8-Day Family Safari – A Trip of a Lifetime.
We just returned from an unforgettable 8-day family safari with Super Africa Wildlife and Adventures, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Traveling with our two children (ages 7 and 11), we were a bit nervous at first, but from day one, the team made us feel completely safe, comfortable, and excited.
Our guide, Peter, was truly exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, patient with our kids, and always making sure we were having fun. We explored several parks including Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli, and saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a leopard! Every day brought something new and exciting.
The lodges and camps were perfect for families — clean, secure, and full of character. Our kids loved the nature walks and storytelling around the campfire in the evenings. Meals were great too, with plenty of variety for both adults and children.
What really stood out was how family-focused and well-organized everything was. We never felt rushed, and the pace was perfect for both adventure and relaxation.
This trip gave us beautiful memories as a family that we will cherish forever. Huge thanks to Super Africa Wildlife and Adventures for making it so special. Highly recommended for any family looking for a true Kenyan safari experience.

Stress Free Safari
Based on our daughter’s highly successful and enjoyable trip with Spirit of Kenya a couple years ago, we elected to utilize them for our African safari adventure. We started working with Vanessa, a Personal Journey Advisor with Spirt of Kenya, and created an itinerary that met our goals and desires. They have some suggested itineraries on their website, but were extremely flexible in designing a trip that best suited our needs. We were initially looking at staying in Kenya, but elected to add Tanzania after studying the options. Once our itinerary was set, we continued to correspond with Venessa all the way to the time of the trip. She was outstanding at answering all our questions and addressing our concerns.
Our safari was completely stress free as Spirit of Kenya saw to every detail from airport arrival to our final departure. We visited six different wildlife parks (Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Amboseli) and stayed at six different lodges or camps. Due to government regulations, we had to change guides when transferring from Kenya to Tanzania and then again when returning to Kenya. The guide transitions and border crossings were absolutely seamless.
All three guides were incredible at personal attention, safari expertise and flexibility for our needs. Phillip, Francis and Danny were all very personable and we thoroughly enjoyed their company. They worked extremely hard and were quite successful in finding what we wanted to see.
The lodges and camps that Spirit of Kenya recommended were all first class and unique in their own ways. The staffs were very welcoming and attentive. We also enjoyed great food at all the facilities.
With all the details and logistics taken care of by Spirit of Kenya, we were able to place all our attention at just enjoying all the amenities that Kenya and Tanzania had to offer. This safari was one of the most stress free and enjoyable trips we have ever taken. We highly recommend utilizing the Spirit of Kenya for your African safari trip.
