Friendly, professional, knowledgeable operators who organised an incredible boutique tour of Namibia
Our tour of just 4 people took in so many highlights of Namibia. The city tour on the first day gave us an in depth look at Namibia’s history, with an excellent guide who showed us around Windhoek and gave us a great background on the colonial era through to independence and how Namibia is building its future.
We travelled to the amazing sandunes in the south, through the deserts up to the incredible Etosha Park. Our guide was great, very informative and had great knowledge and experience of the country and its animals. We stayed in some fabulous lodges (usually for 2 nights at a time) there were many exciting excursions and also time to relax.
Lark Journeys were always responsive to our communications and offered great value for money, I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to visit this wonderful country.

Five Days of Wildlife and Adventure in Tanzania
Our 5-day Tanzania Safari with Dallago Tours Kenya-Tanzania was a really enjoyable trip. Each day brought something different, and the game drives gave us plenty of opportunities to watch wildlife in its natural surroundings. I liked how the tour was organized, and traveling with a group made the journey more social and fun. Our guide was friendly, explained things clearly, and helped us appreciate the places we visited. The pace was comfortable, with enough time to enjoy the safari without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a great way to spend five days exploring Tanzania.

Transfer
Joseph arrived on time and left on time to take us to our lodge. His driving was fluid and despite the fact that the journey was long on paper we did not see the time pass.
He did his best to bring us to our destination on time

Unforgettable Experience
This was my first time in Ethiopia and first time in East Africa, and what an incredible experience it was! I arranged for a 10 day tour but to an emergency only stayed 6.
Samuel the Organiser was very helpful and attentive along the whole journey, from tailoring the itinerary pre booking up until being in country and making sure things go smoothly via WhatsApp.
My Private tour was originally to visit Lalibela, Gondar and Addis Ababa, half historical and the other half food and culture but due to the war resuming in the Tigray region I decide to remove visiting Lalibela which Samuel agreed with and changed the excursion to another location.
My time was wonderful seeing the various architecture and landscapes woven in with the Orthodox Christianity and Ethiopian culture was like visiting Rome in Africa, so much history cannot be experience in a 10 days,I most definitely have to come back.
The hotels I stayed in were nice the only issue was the shower being cold in Gondar, but the mechanic was on hand to fix it.
There is a lot I could say about my time in Ethiopia but then i would have to write a short novel. The main highlight that is worth mentioning was Samuel putting together a wonderful birthday experience for me where I had a a local family of incredible women teach me how to prepare and roast coffee for a ceremony, cook a local dish and bake Injeera, this will remain a memory I never forget and I'm thankful for.
All in all every tour guide I had was informative. The drivers were punctual and Samuel made sure I was updated with any change In my itinerary, especially with the sudden change.
My main bit of feedback is regarding my package being full board and also having excursions every day it wasn't made clear whether I had lunch and dinner included at the hotel or only on the days im not out on a tour

Fabulous!
Oswald (Ozzy) our guide for our 8 night Safari was just a fabulous man! He was such a nice guy. He was so knowledgeable about all the wildlife, so organised and obviously wanted to make our trip the best experience we could have imagined. We had long days which must have been draining for him with all the driving. The drives were very challenging with all the lumps and bumps in the roads. Every night he cleaned the vehicle ensuring our viewing was the best possible. He served a delicious lunch every day effortlessly. We really enjoyed his company he is such a good man. A wonderful ambassador for Lion King safari’s. We would 100% recommend the company and anyone who is lucky enough to have Ozzy as their guide I’m certain will be as happy as us. The cost of the safari was the most we had ever spent on a holiday but I can honestly say we felt it was a bargain for what we experienced and how wonderfully we were looked after. Thank you so much Lion King Safari’s!! Special thanks to Rose too or all her help in making our arrangements.

Absolutely brilliant safari. Highly recommend!
We just had an incredible safari experience with Melodica and it was exceptional. Their organization was flawless,everything ran perfectly. Our guide was outstanding; his knowledge of wildlife, landscape, and ecosystem was genuinely impressive.
What really stood out was their professionalism and flexibility. We made some changes to our itinerary and they adapted instantly without any fuss. They handled every detail flawlessly from start to finish,no issues, just smooth expert execution.
As two women traveling together, we felt completely safe and well cared for throughout. You can tell this team truly knows their domain inside out. We're strongly recommending Melodica to everyone. Book with them without hesitation.

Outstanding experience with Tales of Tanzania.
The Best Experience of a Lifetime!
Our safari in Tanzania was absolutely fantastic and truly the experience of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The Serengeti was simply breathtaking. From the moment we entered the park, we were surrounded by wildlife. It was like watching the world's greatest wildlife show unfold right before our eyes. The game drives were incredible, and the memories we made will stay with us forever.
A special thank you to Pendo, the owner, who was exceptional throughout the entire planning process. She was always responsive, went above and beyond to answer our questions, and was incredibly accommodating. She genuinely listened to our requests and concerns and took the time to understand what was important to us. She made sure we were booked into excellent hotels and that our activities were tailored to our interests. It was clear that she sincerely cared about making our safari special and ensuring we had the best possible experience. Her personal attention, thoughtfulness, and commitment to customer satisfaction were outstanding.
And then there was our safari driver and guide, Charles, who was nothing short of spectacular! His knowledge of the Serengeti was remarkable, but what truly set him apart was his incredible ability to spot animals, anticipate their movements, and position our vehicle perfectly for viewing and photography. He genuinely wanted us to have an unforgettable experience, and he delivered beyond anything we could have imagined. Twice, he managed to position us right in the middle of a pride of 11 lions—an absolutely extraordinary experience! His knowledge extended well beyond wildlife; he was equally adept at answering our questions about Tanzanian culture, geography, and the natural world around us.
This safari was everything we hoped for and so much more. The wildlife, the breathtaking landscapes, the incredible game drives, and the outstanding people who made it all possible combined to create an experience we will never forget.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, I cannot recommend Pendo and her team highly enough. Their dedication, expertise, and genuine passion for creating an exceptional experience made this the best trip of a lifetime. We would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful tour to Materuni waterfall with awesome tour crew
After a relaxing drive to Kilimanjaro, we headed into the jungle to visit the chagga tribe, where we went on a wonderful hike to the Materuni Waterfall. Afterwards, we were able to experience the entire coffee-making process before setting off on our return journey. The Tour Crew was lovely and the tour was really worth it. We will definitely chose them again.
