He is a fantastic operator who understands their job
We contracted Hilmuks Safaris for our trip to Malindi, Kenyan coast. Everything, from transport to catering were well organized. It was a memorable time with friends who cherish travelling and togetherness.

Unforgettable Safari Experience
Our safari tour in August 2025 offered perfect value for money. The guides were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and always friendly and attentive. The accommodations were very comfortable, and every host went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful stay. The food was consistently excellent and more than sufficient. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone and honestly have no suggestions for improvement.

Very well organised safari with lots of wildlife !
We had an amazing 6 days safari with Serengeti Landmark Tours.
We did Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with our Lovely guide Beonson, which showed us a lot of different animals and was great. We saw many wildlife, including the big five 🦁🐆🐘🦏🦛
Then we headed to Lake Manyara with Denis and saw a lot of elephants, which was great
Finally our last day was at Materuni with Hermann. He was also a great guide and gave us many explanations about the plants and the local life
The trip was very well organised, the food was very good. Raymond the manager also helped us with our change of flight at the end, which was really helpful. Both airport transfers were also well organised
I would really recommend this tour ! Thanks a lot to our three guides for this amazing time !

Extraordinary Safari Experience
We did the classic Northern Circuit (Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro) for total of 13 Days. Our family had a truly memorable first safari trip with Lion King Adventures. Everything was seamless - thanks to Maria and Florida, who were patient, flexible, and incredibly helpful with our many accommodation requests(mostly luxury+ accom and also we were very picky). Sometimes you also have to be patient with them, as their replies can be a bit slow. Tuma, our guide in Arusha, was friendly, and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from airport transfers to showing us around the city.
The highlight of this trip was our safari guide, Frederick (“Freddy,” as my son calls him). We felt incredibly lucky to have him all throughout. A great guide is what makes a safari extra special and he exceeded all our expectations.
Freddy’s positive and cheerful attitude, punctuality, patience with our curious 6 years old, and ability to make us feel comfortable and safe made all the difference. He is deeply knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and birdlife, never rushed us at sightings, and always explained animal behavior in an engaging way. His “wife”(as he jokingly
calls his safari jeep) was amazingly clean every day. ;-)
Thanks to Freddy, we saw many animals especially the Big Five and had unforgettable moments, including a cheetah and her 5 cubs, a big herd of elephants passing behind our jeep, a lioness resting beside us, and a rare leopard sighting on the main road of the Ngorongoro Crater. His spotting skills and instinct for animal movement were truly impressive.
He’s also a talented photographer — helped me with my photography and always positioned the jeep for the best angles.
This was absolutely our best trip and despite being the rainy season, we had the best weather! By the end of the safari, Freddy felt more like family than just a guide. He is a real gem at Lion King Adventures, and we would gladly recommend him to any friends visiting Tanzania. We hope to return one day for another safari with him—maybe during the Great Migration! Asante sana Freddy and Lion King Adventures for this adventure of a lifetime!

Friendly, funny and polite
Absolutely value for money. The vast range of activities during the day and night as well as the accommodation was worth every cent.

A Dream Kenya Safari for Wildlife Photographers
We spent 10 unforgettable days in Kenya with Extra Miles, combining a Mount Kenya trek and a full overland safari journey. As photography enthusiasts carrying a huge amount of camera gear, we care a lot about flexibility, safety, guide experience, and attention to detail — and Extra Miles exceeded our expectations in every way.
Joseph was incredible from the very beginning. Unlike many operators, he never tried to push unnecessary upgrades or inflate the budget. Instead, he patiently helped us optimize the trip within our budget, gave thoughtful advice on lodges and routing, and replied to questions extremely quickly throughout the entire planning process. Even during the trip itself, he checked in with us daily to make sure everything was going smoothly, which we had never experienced before with any other safari company.
Our guide and driver, Felix, was outstanding. Calm, experienced, and extremely reliable. During rainy season conditions, we saw many other vehicles get stuck or struggle on difficult roads, but Felix handled everything smoothly and safely. Long drives were always comfortable, the vehicle was cleaned every morning despite the mud, and he constantly adjusted schedules around weather conditions to maximize our safari experience.
As photographers, we especially appreciated how patient and supportive Felix was during game drives. He helped position the vehicle for the best angles, stayed in communication with other guides to track wildlife sightings, and never made us feel rushed while shooting.
We saw incredible wildlife throughout the trip, including cheetah families, elephants, lions, giraffes, hyenas, and even a python swallowing an antelope. But beyond the animals themselves, what made the experience unforgettable was how smooth, thoughtful, and genuinely personal the entire journey felt.
Special thanks to Joseph Kaluli, Felix Nzuki, Madam Melisa, Simon Muriuki, and Mr. Musale for creating such a magical Kenya experience for us. Still feel unreal at this moment sitting in our apartment looking at our photos.❤️
With gratitude from Beijing, China,

A trip of a lifetime with Noel and Majestic
We had the trip of a lifetime spending ten days in Tanzania with Noel and Majestic Safari.
It started at the airport. The moment we spotted Noel's face, something clicked. We'd never met, but we instantly felt at ease — like we were being picked up by someone we already knew. That feeling never left.
Noel is the rare kind of guide who makes you forget you're a tourist. His knowledge of the wildlife and landscape is extraordinary. He reads the bush in a way that felt almost instinctive. We had elephant encounters that left us speechless, a bespoke wild dog experience (one of the most elusive and thrilling sightings in Africa), watched lions for hours, completely unhurried, and spent time in the Ngorongoro Crater that I honestly have no words for. We weren't rushed through a checklist. We stayed as long or short as we wanted everywhere we went; Noel let each moment unfold.
The long drives between parks could have been dead time. With Noel, they were some of our favorite hours of the trip — full of conversation about his life, his country, its history and people. The shared meals were a highlight in their own right. We learned so much about Tanzania through his eyes, and those conversations made the whole experience feel genuinely mutual — like we were guests, not customers.
Every detail had been thought through before we arrived. The itinerary was built exactly around what we actually wanted, not a standard package, and he remained flexible throughout — adjusting on the fly whenever something caught our interest or warranted more time. His communication in the planning process was excellent; responsive, clear, and he was genuinely invested in getting it right. Compared to other tour companies I checked out, Majestic and Noel were by far the most personable, responsive and willing to work with us on every detail.
We came home having made a friend. If we go back to Tanzania — and we will — there's no version of that trip that doesn't start with calling Noel. I'd recommend him without a single reservation to anyone. He will make your experience something you'll remember forever.
