Unforgettable Safari Adventure
We recently booked a two-week private safari and beach package with African Big Cats, and the entire experience was flawless. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, allowing us to completely relax without worrying about any logistics.
Communication with Naomi and Emanuel was seamless. Naomi was very responsive and helped answer all our questions throughout the trip. She even went out of her way to arrange activities for us at the very end of our journey when we realized we had extra time before our flight home due to our own scheduling oversight.
A special shoutout goes to our safari guide, Samuel, who truly made our trip unforgettable. He went above and beyond to share the incredible nature and wildlife of Tanzania with us. He quickly understood our vibe and was completely flexible whenever necessary. Furthermore, Samuel has what can only be described as 'eagle eyes.' He would gently stop the jeep and point out a leopard camouflaged on a distant branch or a lioness hidden in the tall grass, sightings we would have missed in a heartbeat. He didn't just show us the animals; he explained their behavior, their role in the ecosystem, and shared fascinating facts that brought the entire landscape to life. Thank you Samuel!
This was truly a trip of a lifetime.
We highly recommend African Big Cats to anyone planning a visit to Tanzania!

We got to see the Big 5
We recently completed an incredible Tanzania safari arranged through Lion King Adventures, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish.
The accommodations were outstanding. Both Nyota Rift Valley and Nyota Luxury Camp were beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and offered stunning views that made the experience even more memorable. The staff at both properties were welcoming and attentive, making us feel at home throughout our stay.
A special thank you goes to our guide and driver, Enock Hubert. His knowledge of the wildlife, local culture, and the national parks was exceptional. He worked tirelessly to ensure we had the best safari experience possible, and his keen eye helped us spot countless animals we would have otherwise missed. He provided binoculars for us to see animals in the distance. We were able to see all five animals of the African Big 5.
From the seamless planning and communication to the amazing accommodations and outstanding guiding, Lion King Adventures delivered a first-class experience!
More than just a tour
We felt so lucky to have discovered Alex of Amatsiko Tours, who curated our two weeks itinerary for Uganda. Our hope of gaining insights into community life and culture, in addition to the magnet of gorilla and chimpanzee trekking, was far exceeded with the experiences we had. Welcomed by many people in out of the way places, Alex’s connections with community are very evident. Our visit to Uganda was made very special by Amatsiko Tours - wonderful accommodation, a huge variety of activities including walking safaris, game drives, tribal and rural visits and more. We were treated like treasured family wherever we went. If it’s an authentic, immersive experience you want in Uganda, do contact Amatsiko and explore their many options.

Excellent tour guide + driver, well worth every penny!
I had one full day in Addis Ababa before flying on to Cape Town, so I decided to book this tour to make the most of my short stay. It turned out to be an excellent decision.
My guide, Lamesgn, and driver, Eshetu, picked me up from Hotel Lobelia in Bole promptly in the morning. As it was low season, I ended up being the only guest on the tour, which made the experience feel very personal and relaxed.
Our first stop was a traditional coffee house where I saw coffee beans being roasted for the first time. I was amazed to discover that coffee beans start off greenish rather than brown! The hostess also burned frankincense, whose aroma mingled with the coffee and created a wonderful atmosphere.
Next came Mercato, the sprawling market district. I quickly realised why having a guide was essential here. Lamesgn explained the history of the area, including the Italian influence behind the name "Mercato", and helped me navigate what would otherwise have been an overwhelming maze of shops and street sellers.
We then visited the National Museum of Ethiopia, where I saw Lucy. It is hard to describe the feeling of standing in front of remains that are around 3.2 million years old. It was genuinely humbling and one of the highlights of my trip.
Afterwards, we went to Entoto Park, where there are wonderful views overlooking Addis Ababa. It was fascinating hearing about the city, its seasons and daily life while looking out across the capital.
The entire day felt very well paced, with enough time at each stop and no feeling of being rushed.
I would especially like to thank Lamesgn for his excellent local knowledge, clear explanations and warm personality. He was informative throughout the day but also friendly and easy to talk to, which made the experience feel much more personal. Eshetu was an excellent driver, navigating Addis traffic with complete calm and reliability, and he was chatty and engaging whenever the opportunity arose. Together they made my short stay in Addis Ababa far richer and more memorable than I had expected.

Highly recommended!
We just wrapped up a 5-day game drive and couldn't be happier. Our guide Gerald was fantastic! So friendly, deeply knowledgeable about the animals, and a very skilled driver. The accommodations were top-notch and incredibly clean, and the meals were delicious every single day. If you are looking for a seamless, safe, and thrilling safari experience, look no further.
My experience with Safari365 was uniformly excellent
I had a great experience using Safari365 to plan my safari in South Africa. They helped me identify the place to stay (Kambaku Sands) which was a perfect fit for what I was looking for, and they managed all the logistics of travel, connections, transfers, etc. Kambaku Sands was absolutely outstanding, with excellent wildlife viewing, staff who were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, and excellent amenities and cuisine. So everything Safari365 said would be part of my experience was delivered.
And while I was in South Africa, my agent, Chantal, checked in with me regularly to make sure things were going well, and to see if I needed anything. I really appreciate her conscientious support and service.
I would highly recommend using Safari365 to help you craft the safari trip that is right for you, and you can have confidence they will listen to what you are looking for, and build an itinerary to meet your requirements.
