An unforgettable safari with an excellent guide
My wife and I had a wonderful safari with Lion King Adventures. The highlight was watching the wildebeest cross the river—a moment we had dreamed of seeing. We were also fortunate to see both black and white rhinos.
Our guide, Murshid, took great care of us throughout the trip and made every game drive enjoyable. We also appreciated the help we received from Elia and Naurey. Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania!

Amazing Kenya 8 day Safari
I booked an 8 day safari with pavillion and i had an amazing time! It was a great safari experiencie! Dont let yourself lose some optional activities, they are 100% worth it (i loved the walking safari!). Easy communication, fast to reply in the case of doubts and very decent acommodation. Remember you are near a national reserve so dont expect too much of hotles, but they are decent with good, spacious and with healthy food. I cant wait to come back and to a Tanzania safari and when this happens, Pavillion will for sure be my choice. Special thanks for Tim and John, my drivers during the safari

Highly recommended Josero tours and safaris!!!
We had an amazing experience with Josero Tours and Safaris. The company was exceptionally accommodating throughout the entire process, seamlessly customizing our itinerary and adding extra attractions whenever we requested.
A special thank you to David, who went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout the journey. His ability to make real-time adjustments to our itinerary truly maximized our experience.
The only area for minor improvement would be pre-trip communication. Being a bit more proactive right before the tour specifically by sharing the pickup driver’s name and exact timing in advance would help ease guest anxiety prior to departure.
Overall, it was a fantastic safari, and we highly recommend their services!

The first Africa Safari was a great experience.
We had an unforgettable 9 day safari experience in the last month with this tour company! From Arusha to the giant elephant herds of Tarangire, the tree-climbing lions of Lake Manyara, the boundless plains of the Serengeti and finally the Ngorongoro Crater - everything was incredible.
We were particularly impressed by the knowledge and patience of the guide. He explained the behavior of each animal and always found the best spots. Spending time with the Hadjabe and Datoga tribes at Lake Eyasi was also very special. Accommodation (we took the Gold Package) was clean and comfortable, food was also good.
I would highly recommend a trip to Africa for the first time. Absolutely worth the money!

A tailored safari trip that exceeds all expectations
We had a wonderful three-day tailored trip arranged by Devid. He was clear and helpful in exploring the options with us.
Our tour guide Festo was outstanding! Energetic, kind, and truly the best. He did everything possible to ensure we saw the Big Five in a short time. We started from Kilimanjaro Airport and visited Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
We highly recommend this trip and strongly suggest requesting Festo as your guide.

Incredible. Simply one of a kind
Our Tanzania safari and Zanzibar vacation with Wild Pride Safaris was truly the trip of a lifetime and exceeded every expectation we had. Our travel advisor Lilian was the best of the best. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania until the end of our trip, everything was incredibly well organized, seamless, and thoughtfully planned. Our itinerary took us through Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti before finishing with several relaxing days in Zanzibar, and it was the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation.
The absolute highlight of our safari was our guide, Andrew. We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Andrew was absolutely AMAZING and played such a huge part in making this trip as special as it was. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals, the parks, the landscape, and Tanzania in general, and we learned so much from him throughout our time together. He seemed to know exactly where to go and what to look for, and his experience was obvious from the very beginning.
More than that, Andrew was genuinely such a pleasure to spend our days with. When you are on safari, you spend a lot of time with your guide, and we could not have asked for a better person to experience Tanzania with. He was patient, kind, professional, fun, and always made sure we were comfortable and having the best experience possible. By the end of the safari, it felt like we were saying goodbye to a friend. If you book with Wild Pride Safaris, ask for Andrew! He made an already incredible trip completely unforgettable.
The wildlife viewing was beyond anything we could have imagined. We saw the big five, along with hundreds of animals every single day. We saw multiple leopards, rhinos, lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hippos, wildebeest, hyenas, and so much more. We were also lucky enough to see babies and cubs, which made the experience even more special. There were days when it felt like every few minutes Andrew was pointing out another incredible animal or getting us into the perfect position to watch something happen.
Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti were especially unforgettable. The itinerary gave us a full crater experience before continuing into the Serengeti, followed by several days of game drives there, which gave us so much time to experience the wildlife rather than feeling rushed from place to place.
Every game drive was different, and somehow each one seemed to top the last. Seeing these animals in the wild and being able to sit quietly and watch them in their natural environment is something we will never forget.
The accommodations were also incredible throughout the entire trip. We stayed at Kahawa House, Lake Burunge Baobab Tented Lodge, Kitela Lodge, and Kubu Kubu Tented Lodge during the safari portion before traveling to Zanzibar.
Every property was beautiful, extremely clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff everywhere we stayed were welcoming and attentive, and the service and amenities were fantastic. We especially loved the experience of staying in the tented lodges—it gave us the feeling of truly being immersed in the safari while still having all of the comforts and amenities of a luxury vacation.
After the safari, ending the trip in Zanzibar was perfect. We stayed at Diamonds Mapenzi Beach and then Lux Marijani Zanzibar, giving us several days to relax on the beach after all of our safari adventures.
What impressed us most about Wild Pride Safaris was how smoothly everything came together. There are so many moving pieces involved in a trip like this—different parks, lodges, long drives, game drives, flights and transfers—but we never felt like we had to worry about anything. We were able to simply enjoy Tanzania and the experience in front of us.
This was easily one of the best trips we have ever taken. Between seeing the Big Five, multiple leopards and rhinos, babies and cubs, hundreds of animals every day, the incredible accommodations, the beautiful scenery, and especially having Andrew as our guide, we could not have asked for a better experience.
We would 100% recommend Wild Pride Safaris to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania, and we would absolutely travel with them again. If we are lucky enough to return to Tanzania someday, there is no question that we would choose Wild Pride Safaris again—and we would absolutely request Andrew as our guide.

Serengeti Clarity and Kelvin will make your safari dreams a reality
This is my second safari with Serengeti Clarity! Frank and his team will make your trip a special, once in a life time experience! They will put together a wonderful itinerary! if you want fancier accommodation or a specific request, just ask Frank and he will make it happen. The safari costs are very reasonable. Now let’s talk about the guide that made our trip so special…KELVIN!! He was amazing! While the entrances and the main road of Serengeti felt crowded at times, we never felt that once we were off the beaten path. Kelvin has done this for 10 years and knows the Serengeti like the back of his hand. He is also very passionate about his culture and country which gives you deeper understanding of life in Tanzania. I will be using Serengeti Clarity again and will always request Kelvin. I recommend this company to anyone who asks. Why would you want to go with a large company when you can go with a smaller company that is passionate about what they do and love to make your trip amazing!

Nicole is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work
We had an amazing safari experience in Kenya and we were very happy with our choice. Nicole was an excellent guide: very knowledgeable, passionate about her work, friendly and always available to meet our needs. Thanks to her experience, we were able to see all the animals we were hoping to see at the Maasai Mara, including the rhino, which was definitely one of the highlights of the trip.
Compared with other operators we considered, we found them to offer a good value for money. They were reliable and well organised throughout the safari, which made the whole experience easy and enjoyable.
The lodges where we stayed were also adequate for the budget we had chosen: comfortable, clean and in line with our expectations.
Overall, we would definitely recommend this safari to anyone looking for a reliable operator, a knowledgeable guide and a good balance between quality and price. A special thank you to Nicole for making our safari such a memorable experience!
