Excellent and cool
I had a great experience with Lassic Africa Tours and Travel. Their communication was clear, timely, and professional from the beginning, and they were very helpful in answering questions and making the arrangements smooth.
The service was excellent, and the team was reliable and well-organized throughout the tour. Everything was handled professionally, which made the experience enjoyable and stress-free. I also found the tour to be good value for money, with a well-planned itinerary and a memorable experience.
I would gladly recommend Lassic Africa Tours and Travel to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and enjoyable travel experience.

Efficient, genuine, and great value
A fantastic experience. My girlfriend and I did a 5-day safari, including two full days at the Masai Mara.
The organization was flawless from start to finish: from booking to hotel pick-up, from the agency stop to departure, and throughout the entire trip.
A special mention goes to our guide, Alex: skilled and confident behind the wheel (the roads and traffic are far from easy to handle), always kind, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure we had an unforgettable time. His explanations were spot on, but what we appreciated most was his discretion and spontaneity — never forcing the "tour guide role" with rehearsed lines, as sometimes happens elsewhere. He took us to see so many animals up close: we managed to spot all the Big Five along with countless other species, and took some truly beautiful photos.
Thanks also to John, an aspiring guide who joined us for the first three days, for his smile, kindness, and always knowledgeable answers.
Highly recommended!

An Unforgettable Gorilla Trekking Experience in Uganda! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This was honestly one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. The Uganda gorilla trekking experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, the guides were professional and helpful, and getting to see the gorillas in their natural habitat was truly unforgettable.
The value for money was excellent. Considering the organization, service, guides, transportation, and the once-in-a-lifetime experience itself, I felt that every part of the trip was worth it.
A special thank you to Chris, our tour operator, who made the entire experience even better. He was professional, friendly, responsive, and made sure everything went smoothly. You could really tell that he cared about making sure we had the best possible experience.
If you’re considering gorilla trekking in Uganda, I highly recommend it. It exceeded my expectations and is definitely an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life. Absolutely amazing from beginning to end! 🦍🇺🇬

Outstanding service
A 5 star holiday that was everything we expected and more. Every event was planned seamlessly with the perfect balance of beach and safari experiences. We will definitely use ExPlore Plus again for forthcoming holidays.

Professional Dream Fulfiller
I asked this team to organize a one-week safari. It was important to me to see and photograph the Great Migration and the crossing of the Mara River. As a nature photographer, choosing the right locations was my top priority. I think this was 100% fulfilled, since in addition to the Big Five, I managed to see and photograph almost every animal. The choice of accommodations was excellent; we spent unforgettable evenings in the heart of the Serengeti.
I don’t think I could have chosen a better team, as they made my dream of exploring the Serengeti come true. Special thanks to the two key people, Francisca and Joshua, without whose dedicated work this dream would not have come true.

The Guide Who Saved My Trip
I had the absolute trip of a lifetime with Arre Tours. I initially had booked with another tour guide but they were such a disappointment, and I'm so relieved I canceled with them and booked with Arre instead!
Arre is a guide like no other. His love for life and adventure is contagious. He's punctual, professional, and he's passionate about what he does and giving guests the absolute best experience possible. Over the course of two days, we visited key sights in Axum like Stelae Park, St. Mary of Zion Church, King Ezana's Tomb, and saw breathtaking landscapes. Nothing felt rushed or performative. He also included extra experiences beyond the itinerary, and those became some of the most enjoyable parts of my time in Axum.
What impressed me most was the level of care he brought to the experience. Arre consistently looked out for me, made sure my needs were met, and did so naturally and without any fuss. He had a way with people that put you instantly at ease, and it was obvious from the start that his real priority was making sure I truly enjoyed my time — and that, I certainly did!
I’m already planning another trip to Ethiopia, and the fact that I intend to book Arre Tours again says everything. Next time, I hope to book with him for other places I’m dying to see, like the Danakil Depression, the Tigray churches, and Gondar.
Arre is the real deal, and I'd recommend him to anyone without a second thought.

Outstanding from start to finish—expert guides, wonderful camps and an unforgettable adventure
This was our first safari, and we couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Lion King.
Our guide (Flugence) was amazing - really knowledgeable about all of the animals and birds, the parks, Tanzania and its people, and perhaps more importantly, excellent company for 10 days. He had a remarkable ability to find and spot all of the animals we wanted to see - and plenty more besides. One of the highlights was his skill in finding exactly the right place and time for us to catch the wildebeest crossing the river in the Northern Serengeti.
Flugence was also a excellent driver - we always felt completely safe no matter how challenging the roads became. He was really patient too: we were never rushed and he spent a lot of time in the evening helping us sort photos, identify all of the birds and animals we'd seen, and learn and practice our Swahili. We couldn't fault Flugence at all, and will definitely ask for him again when we return.
All of the accommodation was very good, but the two tented camps we stayed at in the Serengeti were particularly special - Embalakai Serengeti (Hippo Camp) and Serengeti Classic View Camp (Kogatende). Both of these had great locations and well furnished tents, the food was amazing, the staff super helpful and friendly, and lovely to see animals so close to the camp.
After visiting the parks, we did the night hike up Ol Doinyo Lengai - this was definitely more challenging than we anticipated (especially coming down), but a great experience, and the amazing views from the top of the volcano were well worth the effort. Our guide for the hike (Yohanna) was amazing - very patient, with plenty of rests and encouragement, and paced us perfectly to reach the top at sunrise.
Finally, we can't fault the organisation and service from Lion King - communication was great, everything was smoothly organised, and the whole holiday went off without a hitch. Dietary requirements (gluten free vegetarian food) had been clearly communicated to all accommodation in advance and flawlessly catered for (with more variety and choice than most places we have visited). Although it was a more expensive holiday than we'd normally take, it was excellent value - we're very happy to recommend them and hope to use them again in the future.
