5/5

Ivan handled the logistics, Ambrose handled the wheel. We did gorillas in Bwindi and safari + chimp trekking in Queen Elizabeth. Schedules were tight, communication was straight, and the ride felt safe and smooth. Zero hassles—would book again.

5/5

The Safari Experience was incredible. Our tour guides Nuhu and Saloniki were very well informed. They would answer every question and tried to find as many animals as possible. We also liked the accomodation and the communication with the office which was all via whatsapp.

Amazing journey in Africa
5/5

Our recent safari in Kenya was a dream come true, and this is in no small part thanks to the exceptional organization and execution by the safari company. From the initial inquiry and booking process to the final drop-off at the airport, every single detail was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. The communication was clear and prompt, the itinerary was perfectly paced, and the choice of accommodations was superb, offering a wonderful blend of comfort and authentic bush experience. The vehicle provided was in excellent condition, spacious, and perfectly suited for game viewing. It is evident that this company operates with a deep respect for the wildlife and local communities, adhering to ethical and sustainable tourism practices. They have truly mastered the art of creating a seamless, luxurious, and unforgettable adventure. We felt completely safe and well-looked-after throughout the entire journey. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone seeking a top-tier safari experience. Extraordinary Guide, Kelin Mimi

While the company provided the framework, it was our guide, Kelin Mimi, who truly breathed life and soul into our safari, transforming it from a mere vacation into a profound and educational journey. To say that Kelin is an expert would be a vast understatement. His knowledge of the ecosystem is encyclopedic; he could identify every bird by its call, explain the complex social dynamics of a lion pride, and track elusive animals with an almost supernatural skill. We witnessed incredible sightings, from a leopard resting in a tree to the Great Migration river crossing, often thanks to Kelin's sharp eyes and instinct, getting us there ahead of the crowds. Beyond his expertise, it was his genuine passion and respect for the animals that truly moved us. He always prioritized the well-being of the wildlife, ensuring we never disturbed them. Furthermore, Kelin is a wonderful person – patient, engaging, and with a great sense of humor. He shared fascinating stories about Kenyan culture and made sure every moment was enjoyable. He wasn't just our guide; he became our friend and the absolute highlight of our trip. If you have the chance, request Kelin Mimi – he is, without a doubt, one of the best guides in Africa.

Outstanding Safari Experience — Perfectly Organized by a Wonderful Local Team
5/5

From the moment we first contacted this safari company, we knew we were in good hands. The owners, Susan and Niko, a local Kenyan couple, were exceptional from start to finish. Communication was always clear, fast, and friendly. They provided a detailed itinerary with all the information we needed, and they stayed in touch before, during, and even after our trip to make sure everything was perfect.

Throughout our 11 days Private safari in Kenya and Tanzania, everything was handled with professionalism and genuine care. The team is extremely honest, organized, and truly passionate about what they do. We always felt safe, well taken care of, and valued as guests.

The drivers and guides Lee and Reymond were outstanding— knowledgeable, patient, and full of fascinating explanations about the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture. Every game drive was an unforgettable experience thanks to their expertise and attention to detail.

The food in every camp and lodge exceeded our expectations — abundant, fresh, and delicious. All accommodations were clean, comfortable, and perfectly arranged. The schedule was always on time, but flexible enough for us to stop along the way to buy beautiful handmade crafts and local art.

This was a dream trip for us, and we couldn’t have asked for a better company to organize it. If you are looking for a reliable, local safari operator who truly cares about their clients and offers a personal touch in every detail, look no further.

We are deeply grateful for the unforgettable memories and highly recommend this company without hesitation.

5/5

The pricing of JUNGLEROAM was very reasonable, the itinerary was exceptionally well-planned, and the overall service was excellent! Our guide, Francis, was absolutely fantastic—he tirelessly worked to track animals for us and even sacrificed his own time to maximize our wildlife viewing opportunities. This experience was truly outstanding!

SerengeTour Exceptional operator!! Offering impeccable organization, guides
5/5

We had an absolutely incredible safari experience with Serengeti Wakanda. We were four adults.
Our guide, Zepha, was exceptional: from early morning departures to admire the sunrise until the end of the day.
Always patient, smiling, and extremely attentive, he went above and beyond to offer us the best viewpoints and spot animals, even the most difficult to observe.
What's more, he speaks perfect French and provides explanations about the animals and local culture, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
A passionate and attentive guide whom we highly recommend!

A huge thank you also to our chef, Salim, who delighted us throughout our stay. Everything was homemade, always varied, tasty, and balanced, from breakfast to hot dinner, not to mention lunch. We never had the slightest problem, and we loved the quality and freshness of the food. Finally, a big congratulations to Norbelt and then Goodluck, who accompanied us from A to Z, from booking to the end of the safari. Always available and responsive, we felt perfectly taken care of at all times.
Thank you to the entire team for this unforgettable safari! If we were to go on safari again, it would undoubtedly be with you, and we will not hesitate to warmly recommend you to our loved ones.

Superb
5/5

Eric and Serengeti clarity were total rockstars for our experience.
Right from booking, the team helped me get to an itinerary that I was happy with through to the end of my trip,
My guide Eric was a machine. It’s a lot of work, touring 7 people and their luggage through Tanzania, Eric did it with a smile. My kids got sick in the trip, he was super patient and made every effort for us to see everything!
I highly recommend going with him!

Knowledgeable, polite, fun, personable. Couldn't ask for more. Initialy a guide now a friend.
5/5

SHOES was great from the get go. Very courteous and punctual. When he helped us onto the truck I was initially impressed with the quality of the vehicle. Top notch. Upon seeing other tours in the park they were envious of us. Leg room was good, it was clean comfortable. He accomedated us stopping before entering park for food and drinks. Upon entering the park everyone yelled his name and waved they knew him. As we toured he stopped and shared his knowledge of animals, people and life in Africa. We saw the big 5, every thing we wanted to see and what we didn't know we wanted to see. He cooked, we laughed. We are going back with him in a few years. More services are offered then posted please ask him.

Vacation of a Lifetime
5/5

It has been almost 2 weeks since we returned from our safari, and my husband and I talk and reminisce everyday about our journey. Day 1 began with Simon meeting us at the airport and driving us to our first hotel. Out in all her glory was Mount Kilimanjaro. We came to find out the next day, from our guide Khalifa, that Mt. Kilimanjaro is known as the "shy lady" because she is usually hiding behind clouds and not visible. But on our first day we got to see this wonder and that set the tone for the rest of our safari. The next day we met our guide, Khalifa Shabani. We spent the next 5 days with Khalifa. Khalifa was just one of a kind! He was incredibly knowledgeable of all the animals, wildlife and vegetation we saw and that we asked about. Khalifa prepped the Land Cruiser for each day of our journey; it was clean and fully stocked with beverages. Khalifa was super patient with all my questions and was very helpful in helping me when I mentioned that I wanted to take a carving of and elephant (my favorite animal) home. He knew exactly where to take us and helped us out with pricing. We could not have asked for a better guide! Now Lion King Adventures makes this journey a total "no brainer." That is, once you receive your schedule everything runs smoothly and like clockwork. Everything from airport/lodging transfers, meals, excursions and additional activities (we opted for a hot air balloon experience over the Serengeti) that interest you. The hotels, lodges and tented camps arranged through Lion King Adventures were beautiful and luxurious. The food at each of these locations was outstanding and all the staff was accommodating and helpful. And lunch during our safari outings, was of restaurant quality! Our accommodations at Zanzibar were just as beautiful and was the perfect place for R&R after our safari. We cannot say enough about our experience with Lion King Adventures and about our guide Khalifa. Everything about our 11-day safari and beach (Zanzibar) vacation was memorable, unique, perfect and an experience that will live with us forever. Thank you, Lion King, thank you Khalifa, we hope to one day be back!
