Fantastic Tanzania
We embarked on our 9 day safari starting in Tarangire, where we were treated to hundreds of Elephant and Giraffe experiences. Even saw 6 lions, ( 2 on a night safari) which were snarling and flashing us their teeth. Ndutu was next with thousands of Zebra and Wildebeest. Balloon ride was the trip highlight. Serengeti revealed, Lions, Cheetahs, Leopard. Ngorogoro was like a set from Jurassic park, hundreds/thousands of different animals. This was a once in a lifetime trip and surpassed our expectations. Ozzy and Gilbert, our guides, were more than accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we were happy and comfortable. Extremely knowledgable and made the trip so much fun. Safari vehicles were always clean and well stocked with drinks and some snacks. Accommodations were fantastic.
Can't say enough about Lion King and our guides. Highly recommend this company. Overall we saw 73 different species of animals and birds.
We were in Tanzania and Zanzibar for a total of 21 days and Lion King organized our whole 3 weeks. It went off without a hitch. Thanks to all involved.

4 days of safari were very exciting, we saw the Big 5. Panorama route - a memorable experience. All tour guides were helpful and experienced. I especially commend our driver Loyd who helped us with everything.

Family Like Trip
We went with Lulusafari to both Rwanda and Uganda. It is already our second trip which we had done with this organizer and they did not disappoint again!
We had an incredible trip and most of it was thanks to the flexibility and kindness or our guide Smith!
I would not book another trip to Africa with another company, and for people who have been on safari or trips before know what a huge role the organization and the guide play.

Amazing trip in Tanzania
Thanks to Lionking adventures for arranging a honeymoon trip for us, and especially for Benjamin, a warm, friendly and professional guide! We are especially careful and try our best to find animals, so that we can produce so many amazing photos just through mobile phones. We have seen the Big Five , including the extremely rare wild black rhinos. At the same time, thanks to the reasonable itinerary arranged by Lionking adventures, we can see so many animals. The most Later, I felt that the staff of Nyota camp let my wife spend an unforgettable birthday, I felt the enthusiasm of the African people. , I hope I can do it again and come to this land and participate in the adventure activities organized by Lionking adventures again!

An incredible company
Jocky Tours is an incredible company! This is the second time I've done the Safari with this company.
The first time was in 2022 with Jims, in a group! He was incredible!
And this time in March 2025, accompanied by my 2-year-old son, my husband, and myself, who was 6 months pregnant, on a private tour with Stanley!
Stanley was extraordinary. And that's an understatement!
We felt safe, heard, and he took care of us. We were captivated! We truly became a family of four during these four days together! Nothing but positive things! Above all, GO FOR IT! Thank you for everything, Stanley!

Wonderful team on the field during the hike but very bad experience regarding the service in Nairobi
I did the 5 day Mount Kenya trek (Chogoria down Sirimon). The team on the field (guide, cooker and porters) were very good and thanks to them it was a great experience, with wonderful landscapes, and amazing service from the team.
But the organisation and quality of service (equipment provided and logistic/transport from Nairobi to Mount Kenya) received from the company and their intermediate in Nairobi were very bad. Despite the high price paid, they wanted me to take a local public transport (a matatu from the matatu station a 15 minute walk from the office in the city center). When arrived in the matatu and when I understood it was not a vehicle provided by the company but just a local public transport, I just refused to stay in the matatu (unsafe transport and it was empty, had to wait for it to be filled with passengers, and how long would have last the travel with many stops, etc.). I asked for a refund or another solution. My tour was supposed to be a private one but I had been notified that I will use a shared vehicle with two other clients, and I was OK with that... But actually it was just a matatu without any other clients... Finally they provided me a car with a driver and the travel was OK even if a big waste of time before departure.
But the tent provided was very small, much smaller and cheaper that all the other tents I saw in Mount kenya, provided by other companies to their clients. And the mattress I was given was too small (1,60 m but I am 1,80 tall, so the feet touched the cold soil, not professional). I should have checked their mattress and taken my own mattress, not theirs. Other point, before arriving in the NP we stopped in Chogoria for lunch. It was a very cheap restaurant (no problem with that if food is OK) but it was not good.
At the beginning of the trek, after the intermediate let us in chogoria, the local team seemed not to be aware of the itinerary i had paid for (5 days whose 4 days climbing and the last day for the final climb and the going down, itinerary precisely described in the written offer). They wanted/described to me another itinerary (apparently 3 days up, 2 days down, staying in other campsites, not the same itinerary). Fortunately I had previously checked the map of Mount Kenya, the names and the locations of the different campsites and routes and so I understood it was note the good itinerary and I insisted to make the right itinerary. The local team accepted and it was finally a wonderful route and trek, with a great service from the team. But apparently the intermediate or the company didn't give the right information to the local team about the itinerary, which could have led to a less scenic trek (and more difficult for acclimatisation).
At the end of the trek, I was given a shared vehicle with other clients to come back to Nairobi so it was better than a matatu but I had to wait more than 1,30 hour the two other clients, and they were prioritised for the drop off in Nairobi. Apparently they were clients of the intermediate not of the company. So despite the high price paid, it was a several hours waste of time for me to get back to my hotel in Nairobi.
I clearly don't recommend this company (and this intermediate) for Mount Kenya treks. But I am very grateful to the local independent team for this wonderful trek.
