It was sensational, thanks to francis it was the best experience of my life
We were with Francis as tour operator and he was the best possible one.
We can ask him everything we wanted and he always answers with a smile.
In just a day and a half we’ve seen every animals possible and enjoyed our picnic lunch under a tree, it was so special.
Again I want to thank Francis for his kindness and love for his job.
If it was possible I would have put more than 5stars.

価格を抑えながら、ヌーの川渡りとビッグ5を見られた
From July 25th to 30th, 2026, two of us participated in a 6-day, 5-night tour. We obtained quotes from about four companies before booking, but Crater Explorer Tours & Safaris was the cheapest and best met our requirements, so we chose them. Our desired conditions were as follows:
* A 6-day tour
* A lodge or tent lodge with beds, private bathroom, and hot shower, rather than basic public camping
* A trip to Kogatende/Mara River in the northern Serengeti to witness the wildebeest river migration
The price was US$3,600 for two people during the high season. This was about US$300-500 cheaper than other companies' quotes. (Apparently, the cost is higher than usual because it includes two nights in the Serengeti and a trip to the northern Serengeti.)
The actual tour was a shared vehicle with four other groups, and it seemed that participants were gathered through multiple tour companies.
The places we actually stayed were listed below:
• Marera Valley Lodge
• Shuhudia Adventure Camp
• Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp
• Jambo Lodge & Camping Site
Jambo Lodge & Camping Site was downgraded because the company explained on the afternoon of the tour that "the lodge originally planned for us had been broken into the previous night by thieves, and the accommodation was changed for security reasons."
The vehicle had shoddy windows compared to other companies and broke down twice due to poor maintenance, but such troubles are part of the fun of a safari, so it wasn't a problem.
Apparently, vehicle troubles are actually quite common.
(If you want a higher grade of vehicle and accommodation, or want to avoid trouble as much as possible, I think paying for a more expensive plan would be stress-free.)
Overall, we were able to see the wildebeest river crossing, the Big Five, and numerous lions and elephants. While the facilities and vehicle were commensurate with the price, we were able to fully experience the wildlife and scenery of the Serengeti, and spent six days like being in the world of The Lion King, so we were satisfied with the tour.

Excellent in every way!
Recently, my friend and I did a seven day safari tour with Goodluck and his team… it was an incredibly amazing experience!
I was impressed with the prompt and precise communication.. We had much dialogue back-and-forth about what we would like on the trip, and he met those needs and wants exactly😃 we toured 3 parks and stayed in the middle of Serengeti Park in a beautiful tent camp, surrounded by nature. We were able to see all kinds of animals and birds on our game drives and had enough time to just sit and watch the animals in their daily life, it was spectacular!
Africa is an expensive country to tour, but with this company, I felt we had great value for our money. Excellent service from our very reliable team, and a lot of fun to be with!
I would highly recommend Lion Motorcycle Adventures as a tour company (both for motorcycling and safari), I hope to one day go back again and tour with them
We come as guests, but we leave as friends

Great, knowledgeable and accomodating
Unforgettable Safari Experience with Exceptional Service!
We recently returned from an incredible trip, and I cannot say enough good things about the team. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well-organized.
A special mention must go to our guide, John. His companionship, deep knowledge, and keen eye made our safari truly unforgettable. He always had our best interests in mind and paid attention to the smallest details. In one memorable instance, when we spotted a herd of elephants, John predicted their exact path—allowing us to be the first vehicle in position to watch them move through. He was always punctual, kept everything running smoothly (including early-morning activities like our hot air balloon ride), and seamlessly coordinated with local guides. Our trip was genuinely so much better because of him!
The team also went above and beyond by helping us coordinate local equipment rentals in Nairobi, which saved us the hassle of hauling camera gear all the way from Canada.

Great tour from start to end
We were picked up on time from our hotel in Stonetown by Yusuf and then dropped off at the end of the tour back to Ngunwi. The office stored our luggage for us and even picked up some property we accidentally left at the hotel. Great service from start up finish. The tour itself was very successful. Out guide Judith was friendly, knowledgeable and ensured our trip ran without any problems. We managed to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and hippos as well as other wildlife on the tour. Lunch and brekkie were great and there was an endless supply of beverages throughout the trip. All in all a very successful trip. I would highly recommend the company if you’re thinking of visiting the Mikumi national park. Thanks for a great time.

Excellent tour by Julius - highly recommend
We did a last minute 3 day safari with Julius to Serengeti and Ngorongoron and it was amazing! We were two girls travelling and felt very safe throughout. Julius was amazing - great communication, great deal and perfect itenary! He picked us up from the airport and made everything very smooth. I had some issues with the sim, he even took me to the Vodafone shop and dropped us at the airport in the middle of the night. We saw all the big 5 up close and the cheetah even came up on our van. The tents were nice and the food was incredible! Highly recommend for a great safari experience.

Great and amazing experience
It was a magnificent experience. The agency delivered on everything agreed upon—they were extremely professional and very punctual. Jeffrey, our guide, made the trip so easy for us; he was always attentive in finding the best spots to see wildlife, and it was clear he is a highly experienced guide. He was also very cautious and personable. As I said, if you come to Kenya, don't hesitate to book with this agency to make your trip an unforgettable experience.
