2. An unforgettable experience in Tanzania We had an incredible safari experience,
Lucas truly went above and beyond to give us the best possible wildlife experience. He worked hard to track animals, positioned the vehicle perfectly for photos and viewing, and shared his knowledge in a way that made every sighting even more special. His patience and dedication really stood out and he never rushed and always made sure we had the best views possible.
It was clear that Lucas is passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about his guests having an unforgettable safari. Thanks to him and Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris team they created memories we’ll never forget.
We would highly recommend Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris and Lucas as to anyone planning a safari as he made our trip truly exceptional.

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.

Muluye Tsegaw makes you look!
Muluye was open and forthright, and he had stories! He would not only share the historical context to Lalibela but he would have a lot of personal and professional experience anecdotes that made us appreciate the UNESCO Heritage site, it's importance to Ethiopians and the reverence that they hold for what the site represents. He was always on time, always looked out for you, made sure you were comfortable (as comfortable as we could get climbing up a mountain for 2.5 hours!), made sure we never missed a view or a monument that was critical to know about, and most of all, his exclamation of "wow" alerted us to an impending vista which was sure to blow our minds. This son of Lalibela never lost his sense of wonder and it comes through on his tours. Great value for money!

An unforgettable Safari Trip with Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris
We just finished our 3-day Tanzania safari with Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris, and our guide Lucas made it absolutely unforgettable. If you’re booking a safari, request him you won’t regret it.
We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park and saw incredible amount of wildlife, including the Big Five (5). Lucas always knew where to go and could spot animals we would have driven right past. His knowledge of the animals and ecosystems made every sighting even more special for us.
He’s also an excellent driver guide. He was patient, never rushed us, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and personal. He even took amazing photos and videos for us throughout the trip and shared them with us. We also loved the cultural experience he arranged at Maasai, and the lodge we stayed at was fantastic.
Lucas is friendly, professional, and truly passionate about what he does. We’re already talking about coming back again and would choose Lucas again to be our driver guide without hesitation. Highly recommend Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris and Lucas to anyone planning a Tanzania safari.

Flawless, Fully Accessible 12-Day Kenya Safari with Lorna Safaris!
Lorna Safaris completely blew us away! They went above and beyond for our group from start to finish during our incredible 12-day safari through the Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru.
Planning a trip to Kenya can bring some pre-arrival jitters, but Judy was fantastic. She organized a face-to-face Zoom meeting with a local guide before our departure to walk us through every detail. Once we arrived, a pre-trip meeting with our drivers cleared up any remaining last-minute questions.
What truly set them apart was their exceptional attention to accessibility. We had multiple wheelchair users in our group, and Lorna Safaris provided a fantastic accessible vehicle equipped with both a lift and a ramp. They did a wonderful job catering to everyone's individual needs, and the hotels they selected were excellent.
Our drivers were knowledgeable, kind, soft-spoken, and highly flexible with their routes. We did a slower-paced tour with morning and afternoon game drives, leaving time to rest in the midday heat. This pacing was perfect—we never felt overwhelmed, yet we still packed in a ton of activities and saw lions, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, and so much more!
Use Lorna Safaris for your travels in Kenya; their reach is far and their service is genuinely five-star!

Exceptional Accessible Safari Operator
As an accessible travel blogger and tour organizer, finding a safari company that could genuinely accommodate a large group with varying accessibility needs was one of the biggest challenges when planning our Kenya safari. From my very first contact with Judy at Lorna Safaris, I knew we had found the right partner.
Judy was incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process — from creating and adjusting our itinerary and arranging payments to answering countless questions before we ever arrived in Kenya. She was exceptionally responsive and went far beyond what I expected from a safari operator.
One of the things that impressed me most was Judy's commitment to understanding accessibility firsthand. Before our group arrived, she personally visited the safari lodges, took photos and videos for me to review and use in our trip planning, and worked with the properties to ensure accessibility was a priority. She didn't simply rely on what hotels told her was "accessible" — she went and saw it for herself.
Our group ultimately grew to 16 participants, including six wheelchair users with varying needs. Lorna Safaris provided four safari vehicles equipped with accessible lifting chairs and ramps, allowing participants with different mobility levels to safely and comfortably access the jeeps.
And when unexpected accessibility challenges arose, Judy and her team didn't simply say, "That's not possible." They found solutions. At one lodge, for example, the door frame was actually adjusted to make it easier for a wheelchair user to enter her safari tent. The team worked directly with lodge staff to address accessibility issues as they arose, including making improvements during our stay.
Judy, Jimmy, Don, Anthony and Teddy were absolutely exceptional throughout the safari. They assisted wheelchair users when needed, helped with transfers and equipment, answered endless questions and shared an incredible amount of knowledge about the wildlife we encountered.
Judy also put a great deal of thought into selecting our accommodations. The lodges and hotels were chosen because they could provide multiple accessible rooms, had helpful and welcoming staff, were exceptionally clean and offered comfortable facilities and a variety of food options.
Organizing an accessible safari for a large group is no small undertaking, but Lorna Safaris approached every challenge with patience, flexibility and genuine care. From the months of preparation before our arrival to the final days of the safari — and even the follow-up afterward — Judy and her team worked tirelessly to make this experience possible.
For anyone looking for a safari company that genuinely understands accessible travel, I would highly recommend Lorna Safaris. Accessible safari operators are difficult to find, and those that truly understand the difference between simply having an "accessible" room and actually creating an accessible travel experience are even harder to find. Lorna Safaris exceeded our expectations.

Alex was beyond incredible!!
Alex was our driver for our trip and he was perfect for our group! We were two families with a total of 3 teenagers and Alex was a hit with everyone. He was so knowledgeable about the area the animal where to go and answered all of our crazy questions, including personal ones. He was constantly on the phone talking with other drivers to make sure that we were able to see anything and everything possible. So kind and such a pleasure to be around. After our Safari, we went on for another week to a different destination and literally talked about Alex every single day. Would have been the same without him! Thank you Alex!!!
