**Excellent Safari Experience!**
I really enjoyed this safari experience. Everything was very well organized, and our guide, Harrison, was extremely kind, professional, and knowledgeable throughout the trip.
Although it was a short one-day safari, we were able to see many amazing animals, including lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, and several others. It was definitely worth it, especially since we had limited time available.
The team picked us up from our hotel at 4:00 a.m., and we were back by 4:00 p.m., which was perfect because I had a flight back to Brazil later that evening. The schedule was well planned and allowed us to enjoy a fantastic safari without worrying about our travel arrangements.
Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kenya with limited time. Thank you, Harrison and Steve, for making our day so special! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing!
Our tour with Nick was amazing. He was very knowledgeable patient and timely. It was a jeep of six and we all had a fabulous time with Nick for 2 1/2 days going from Nairobi to Sephora Mara Safari camp. Nick also took us to the Safari to the home of the Masai Mara. We had an amazing time and we felt very comfortable with Nick who took care of us like we were his own family.

An Exceptional Safari Experience with Outstanding Organisation and Expertise
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience from start to finish. The organisation was outstanding, with every detail carefully planned and executed with great care and precision, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the trip. Communication was on point and every member of the team was polite, kind and very professional. They organise your safari how you want it. You can change up to luxury accommodation or change down to suit your budget. I would recommend spending extra and going for luxury accommodation - you won't regret it!
Our guide Emmanuel was truly exceptional. His knowledge of the flora and wildlife, local environment, culture, and conservation efforts was remarkable, and he was always happy to answer questions and share fascinating insights. Emmanuel's expertise made every game drive both exciting and educational.
The professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to providing an unforgettable experience were evident throughout. We felt well looked after at all times and could not have asked for a better safari operator or guide.
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a well-organised, memorable safari led by passionate and knowledgeable experts. A truly outstanding experience.

Family of 16 had an amazing time! The best tour operator in Tanzania!
TLDR: You won’t regret booking with Lion King Adventures! They showed care, hospitality and attention to detail throughout our 9-day safari for my family of 16 people (8 adults, 8 kids ranging from 7-14).
Booking Experience: 5/5 - I sent an email request to create a custom safari in June for my family of 16. Nickson was responsive, detail-oriented and clear throughout our dozens of emails. He answered all of my questions regarding itinerary, had great suggestions, and provided lots of preparatory content ahead of our trip.
Safari: 5+/5 - Lion King Adventures absolutely provided the best, safest, and fun experience we could ask for. Ahead of the trip, many in my family had some anxieties being in a new country but the team of Salehe, Hamad, and Geofrey cared for us as their own. All three guides were engaging, funny, and highly knowledgeable about the country, people, national parks and animals. We peppered them with all sorts of questions and they genuinely enjoyed conversing with us.
Our trip consisted of a 9d/8nt trip through Tarangire, Central and Western Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw everything we wanted to - lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, wildebeests, giraffes, baboons, elephants and so much more. Each of the guides had their own expertise and style, which made it fun to rotate between each of their vehicles as a group. They had the uncanny ability to find the more elusive cats anywhere and our three guides worked as a seamless team to help us see as much as we could. Because Lion King is a good-sized company, they also have their own radio channel to share sightings amongst themselves in the park. In addition, our guides also had plenty of positives relationships with guides from other companies to help us find more animals.
Aside from the wildlife, the hotels that Lion King chose were all amazing, especially the Nyota Luxury Camp. It’s worth resting their for a few days and enjoying the pool and the delicious food. The safari vehicles were also newer, clean and very comfortable. I was impressed that the cars were free from safari dirt and dust at the start of each day.
I am so glad that we ultimately booked directly with Lion King to ensure that all of our money was going towards a Tanzanian-owned company without the middle man. It meant that we were getting the best price without any mark-up.
From start to end, I can only speak highly of Lion King Adventures. Nickson, Salehe, Hamad, Geofrey were all amazing.

Detailed, thorough, thoughtful and supportive.
Our honeymoon in Tanzania and Zanzibar exceeded every expectation, and we owe so much of that incredible experience to Genius Kilimanjaro. From the moment we arrived until the very end of our trip, everything was flawlessly organized, including accommodation, transportation, Kilimanjaro trekking, the Serval Wildlife experience, waterfall adventures, and coffee farm visits.
What truly sets Genius Kilimanjaro apart is the personal involvement of the owner, Patrick. He is deeply committed to quality and excellence and stays actively involved to ensure every detail is perfect. His passion for creating unforgettable experiences is evident, and he genuinely cares about his guests and their satisfaction.
Our biggest goal was reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, and Patrick’s team played a huge role in making that dream a reality. The guides, porters, and support staff were exceptional—professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and incredibly attentive. Their motivation, expertise, and unwavering support helped us push through the challenging moments and successfully stand on the Roof of Africa. We could not have done it without them.
Every activity was thoughtfully planned, every transfer was seamless, and every member of the team made us feel safe, welcomed, and valued. Thanks to Genius Kilimanjaro, our honeymoon became a once-in-a-lifetime adventure filled with unforgettable memories.
If you are considering a trip to Tanzania or Zanzibar, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Genius Kilimanjaro to anyone seeking a professional, trustworthy, and truly outstanding tour company. Thank you, Patrick and the entire team, for giving us memories we will cherish forever. We cannot wait to come back!

Excellent communication, expert guide and an unforgettable safari
We had an excellent experience with Splendid Vacations on our 2-day safari in Kenya. The tour was very well organised from start to finish, and communication before and during the trip was prompt, clear and reliable.
Our guide, Rono, was outstanding. He had exceptional knowledge of the area, wildlife and local conditions, and was always willing to accommodate our requests to maximise what we could see during our stay. Thanks to Rono's expertise, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five in a single day, which exceeded our expectations.
I would highly recommend Splendid Vacations to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Was a much better trip than expected
The safari with wagatil was much better than expected, the lodges were top notch, the food was great all the way through, saw so so many animals on the various treks, got so close to the gorillas, (steep difficult 3-4 hour hike up rough terrain at high altitude to see the mountain gorillas) Martin the driver guide was fantastic, has extensive knowledge about animals, regions etc, managed to find leopards in Queen Elizabeth park, no other groups saw leopards that day, real nice Toyota Land Cruiser, also Pretty the manager at the office was great, even stopped off at their office to meet her, this trip was much better than expected and a dream come true seeing the gorillas up so close. A big thank you to all at wagatil .

Amazing experience!
We had a wonderful safari experience with Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris. Our guide and driver, Charles, was very kind, reliable and professional. He drove safely, explained many things during the tour, and made a lot of effort to help us see as many animals as possible.
The communication before and during the tour was smooth, and the overall organisation was good. The tour was also good value for money, especially considering the experience we had in the Masai Mara.
We really enjoyed the game drives, the scenery and the whole safari atmosphere. It was a memorable experience, and I would recommend this company to other travellers visiting Kenya.
Great trip!
We have just finished the 3 day, 2 night tour of Tsavo East and Taita Hills with Black Santa. We can not fault the trip, from start to finish Herbert was knowledgeable and ensured we had the best time ever. The accomodation - Voi Safari lodge and Salt Lick were amazing and the food was great! Highly recommend :)
