An Amazing Experience from Start to Finish
I originally contacted 3 companies for a safari quote and Serengeti African Tours responded immediately. They provided an itinerary to suit my timetable and budget. Inviolata became my point of contact and has answered so many questions prior to booking the safari and after booking until I arrived in Tanzania. As I had free time in Arusha before and after the safari Inviolata also arranged a day trip to the Materuni Waterfalls and an Arusha City tour. The package included airport pick up and drop off. Eli picked me up at the airport and took me to the accommodation in Arusha organised by Inviolata. Eli also drove me on both the day trips and back to the airport at the end of the trip. Eli was a careful driver and answered any questions. He even stopped on the way back to the airport to let me take pictures of Kilimanjaro! For the safari the guide was Bahayo. He picked me up on time from Arusha and looked after me and the other 5 travellers for the next 5 days. He was an amazing guide that tried very hard to locate the animals over the 5 days and allowed us ample time to view them and photograph them. We managed to see the Big Five and so much more though Bahayo’s determination and hard work. He drove everyone to different accommodation at the end of each day and always picked us up on time the following day. We also had a chef Richard who made us a delicious lunch everyday. All the accomodation selected by Inviolata was amazing and all of the food delicious. The staff at each place I stayed at were all friendly and helpful.
I thoroughly enjoyed my safari from beginning to end and would definitely recommend Serengeti African Tours. Thank you to you all for an amazing experience!

The Best Family Safari Adventure in Kenya
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Safari Experience with Francis!
Our family safari in Kenya was nothing short of amazing, and a huge part of that was thanks to our exceptional tour guide, Francis.
From the moment he picked us up, Francis made us feel welcome, safe, and comfortable. His professionalism, knowledge, and passion for wildlife were evident throughout the entire trip. He was always punctual, courteous, and eager to ensure we had the best possible experience.
What truly set Francis apart was his incredible ability to spot wildlife. Thanks to his sharp eyes and extensive knowledge of the Masai Mara, we were able to witness breathtaking sightings, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, cheetahs, and many other animals in their natural habitat. He always positioned the vehicle perfectly for photography and patiently allowed us enough time to enjoy every moment.
Traveling with my wife and young child, comfort and safety were extremely important to us. Francis went above and beyond to make sure our family was comfortable throughout the journey. He was friendly, attentive, and always happy to answer our endless questions about the animals, local culture, and Kenya itself.
One of the highlights of our trip was learning about the Maasai culture and traditions. Francis shared fascinating insights that made the experience much more meaningful and memorable. His knowledge transformed a simple safari into an educational adventure.
The vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable for long game drives. Every detail was handled professionally, allowing us to relax and focus entirely on enjoying the spectacular scenery and wildlife.
This safari exceeded all our expectations and created memories that our family will cherish forever. If you are planning a safari in Kenya, I highly recommend requesting Francis as your guide. His expertise, dedication, patience, and warm personality made all the difference.
Thank you, Francis, for making our dream safari come true. We hope to return one day and explore Kenya with you again!
Highly recommended without any hesitation!

Very professional and understands how to offer memorable and adventurous experiences.
They are professional. Communication is top-notch, and the guides they work with also do an amazing job, always considering different client paces on the trails and ensuring that we all get the best experience. Lol! They're also a very fun crew. You can talk about anything with them. I've had several moments that have left me in stitches. Haha! I also love how they motivate clients when things start getting tough, even when it's also tough on them.

More Than a Safari – The Honeymoon We Will Treasure Forever
I've delayed writing this review because I honestly struggled to find the right words. How do you properly describe a honeymoon that exceeded every dream you had imagined?
Our 8-day private luxury safari with Wivi Agency in June was not simply a vacation. It became the perfect beginning to our married life together and one of the most emotional and meaningful experiences we have ever shared.
From the very beginning, Elias and Stephano treated us like family. Once they learned this was our honeymoon, they went above and beyond to make it special. Long before we arrived in Tanzania, they were helping us with travel arrangements, accommodation preferences, special requests, and countless questions. Their attention to detail made us feel genuinely cared for.
Upon arrival in Arusha, we stayed at Arusha Coffee Lodge, where our honeymoon experience immediately began. We were welcomed with thoughtful touches, beautiful room decorations, and warm hospitality that made us feel celebrated as newlyweds.
What we didn't realize was that Elias and Stephano had quietly arranged several surprises throughout the journey. There were romantic room setups, special dinners, honeymoon treats, and unexpected moments that often left us speechless. Some evenings ended with candlelit dinners under the African sky, while other days included beautiful personal touches that made us feel incredibly special.
Our guide Joshua quickly became an important part of our adventure. Spending eight days together allowed us to build a genuine friendship. His passion for Tanzania was inspiring, and his warm personality made every game drive enjoyable. He seemed to understand exactly when to share fascinating information and when to simply allow us to enjoy the moment together.
Our safari took us through Tarangire National Park, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
At Lemala Mpingo Ridge in Tarangire, we enjoyed breathtaking views while watching elephant herds move across the landscape below. One afternoon, we witnessed playful elephant calves running around their mothers, creating memories and photographs we will cherish forever.
The Serengeti was simply magical. Our stay at One Nature Nyaruswiga Serengeti was beyond luxurious. Every detail was perfect, from the elegant tented suites to the incredible service. During our game drives, Joshua helped us find lions with cubs, leopards resting in trees, cheetahs scanning the plains, large elephant herds, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and endless wildebeest moving across the golden landscape.
One morning, Joshua located a leopard before any other vehicle arrived. We watched in complete silence as it gracefully descended from a tree and disappeared into the grass. It felt like we had the entire Serengeti to ourselves.
At The Highlands by Asilia near Ngorongoro, we experienced another unforgettable surprise arranged by the team. After a day of wildlife viewing, we returned to find a beautifully prepared romantic setup waiting for us. It was one of several thoughtful gestures that made our honeymoon feel truly unique.
The Ngorongoro Crater itself was spectacular. Within a single day we saw black rhinos, lions, buffaloes, hippos, hyenas, flamingos, and countless other animals. Every turn seemed to reveal another incredible sight.
One memory will stay with us forever. During sunrise in Serengeti, Joshua stopped the vehicle overlooking the plains. As thousands of wildebeest moved through the morning light, we sat quietly holding hands and taking in the beauty around us. It was one of those rare moments where everything feels perfect.
What made this journey extraordinary wasn't only the wildlife or the luxury accommodations. It was the emotion behind every detail. Elias and Stephano didn't just organize a safari. They created a honeymoon experience filled with surprises, romance, and unforgettable memories. There were several moments during the trip when we genuinely felt emotional because of the thought and effort that had gone into making our honeymoon special.
Even after the safari ended, they continued helping us in Arusha by recommending wonderful restaurants, nightlife spots, and places to relax before our departure flight.
When it came time to leave Tanzania, neither of us wanted the journey to end. We arrived as newlyweds hoping for an unforgettable honeymoon. We left with memories that will stay in our hearts forever.
Thank you, Joshua, for being such an incredible guide. Thank you, Elias and Stephano, for every surprise, every thoughtful gesture, and every detail you carefully arranged. And thank you, Wivi Agency, for giving us a honeymoon that was more beautiful than we ever imagined.
This was not just a safari.
It was the beginning of our love story's greatest adventure.

A Truly Magical Tanzanian Safari with Lion King Adventures! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our 7-day, 6-night mid-luxury safari with Lion King Adventures was one of the most memorable trips of our lives. From the moment we landed in Arusha until our departure, everything was flawlessly organized and exceeded our expectations.
A huge thank you to our guide, Mr. Murshid, who was not just our safari guide but also our travel companion throughout the journey. He was extremely professional, polite, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Tanzania’s wildlife. His experience and instincts helped us spot an amazing variety of animals including lions, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeests, giraffes, warthogs, bushbucks, dik-diks, numerous antelope species, and countless beautiful birds. He always seemed to know the perfect locations for wildlife sightings and patiently answered all our questions.
The accommodations selected by Lion King Adventures were excellent. We stayed at Arusha Planet Lodge, Eileen’s Trees Inn, and Embalakai Serengeti Camp, each offering great comfort, hospitality, and delicious food. The highlight of our stay was the newly opened Crater Inn near Ngorongoro, which offered breathtaking views and a fantastic experience.
One of the most unforgettable moments of our safari was in Ngorongoro Crater, where we witnessed a rhino peacefully sleeping while nearly 100 Land Cruisers patiently waited for him to wake up. Watching such a rare animal up close was worth every minute!
Both Serengeti National Park and Tarangire National Park were absolutely stunning. The abundance of wildlife, scenic picnic spots, and surprisingly clean washrooms deep inside the parks reflected the excellent tourism infrastructure Tanzania has developed. Being able to enjoy such comfort in the middle of the wilderness was remarkable.
The people we met throughout Tanzania were warm, kind, and always willing to help. The daily evening dance performances at Embalakai Camp were the cherry on top of an already wonderful experience and created memories we will cherish forever.
We also booked a hot air balloon safari with Miracle Experience at a discounted rate arranged through Lion King Adventures. Floating over the Serengeti at sunrise was magical. Our pilot, Captain Ramee from Egypt, was friendly, entertaining, and made the experience even more special.
Although safari travel naturally involves a lot of dust, Mr. Murshid made sure our Land Cruiser was cleaned, maintained, and ready every single day. His dedication to guest comfort was exceptional.
Interestingly, we met very few Indian tourists during our trip. Most fellow travelers were from Spain, the United States, China, and Japan, making the experience feel even more unique.
Most importantly, we have absolutely zero complaints. Lion King Adventures delivered exactly what they promised and much more. Their professionalism, hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine care for their guests made this an unforgettable African adventure.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, don’t think twice—book with Lion King Adventures. Tanzania is a must-visit destination, and Lion King Adventures is the perfect company to help you experience it.

The tour operator and the guides are excellent.
We booked and reserved this trip from Germany. All communication was handled via email, and everything worked perfectly from start to finish.
The transfers were also smooth and very well organized.
During our safari in Tanzania, we had a guide named Esha and our driver Daniel, who accompanied us through the different game reserves. We have to say that we had a fantastic time. Both guides took a great deal of time for us, paid attention to all our wishes, and even exceeded our expectations.
It was one of the most beautiful trips we have taken in a very long time. The experiences were simply incredible—beautiful, impressive, and full of unforgettable moments.
A big thank you to the tour operator, as well as to Esha and Daniel, for this extraordinary experience. We can wholeheartedly recommend this trip and the entire team.
