Fantastic experience, super helpful and happy with their services
We had a super well organised holiday and great experience. Accommodation and everything like we discussed upfront, real value for money and super helpful once we arrived in South Africa. A couple of meetings upfront with Marieke to design the trip, a few further changes discussed and Marieke really has taken the time to organise things very well. While everything was great, the Sungulwana lodge experience was just unbelievable, all the people there where super nice and helpful as well.

Noah and Jovan were very knowledgeable and had very good instincts on where animals should be
A very enjoyable tour. We explored a lot of Mikumi National Park and found nearly all species. We learned a lot about both animals and birds as well as the different national parks in Tanzania. We do recommend Noah and Jovan as guides

The service we received from Lion King Adventures was exceptional - it couldn't be bettered.
We had never been on a Safari before.and we had never been to Africa. So, we were totally dependent on our tour operator to plan where we would visit, when and where we would stay.
We dealt with Elia and Naurey for the administrative side of our trip. They were very professional, they always answered our queries straight away and tailored our trip to perfectly meet our needs. They provided us with all the information we needed about our trip and about what we needed to do prior to our trip - such as which vaccinations we needed and when, additional insurances etc.
All airport transfers and pickups ran smoothly and the drivers were very friendly and helpful.
Salim was our Safari guide. He was excellent! We couldn't have asked for better. He was so knowledgeable, so caring, so friendly and so patient. It was like being driven round by a good friend. He worked so hard to ensure we got the most out of our trip. From experience, he knew where to find animals and birds etc. and what they would do next, so he always managed to get us in a good spot to capture the perfect photo. We told Salim that we weren't just interested in the big 5 as we loved all creatures, so he was constantly scanning the surroundings pointing out lilac rollers, eagles, kingfishers, lizards. Salim did make sure that we saw the Big 5 too. Prior to our trip, we had hoped that we would see certain birds and animals. We did! And so much more!
Entry to all the parks was seamless as Lion King had sorted everything beforehand. We visited Tarangire, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We stayed two nights in the Serengeti and that was our favourite place. Hearing the animals in the night was something special.
All the accomodations that Lion King arranged were wonderful - we particularly loved the Nyota Luxury Tented camp in the Serengeti.
Lion King Adventures did an incredible job arranging our adventure of a lifetime and we would highly recommend them.

Outstanding, one of a kind safari experience
We enjoyed a once in a lifetime, 6-day best value safari in Tanzania. It was well organized by Lion King Adventures from start to finish. They provided tons of valuable, pre-flight information, prepping and saving us from unpleasant surprises. We requested a dual language guide (Spanish and English), and Lion King delivered. His name is Ven and he truly knows how to make his safari guests happy. Besides many others, we also saw the big 5 in their natural habitat, some of which only Ven discovered with other guides following his lead. We are truly grateful to both Lion King and Ven for these unique days which we will treasure and never forget. A very recommendable organisation, worth every penny. Thank you!

Once in a lifetime experience!
Our safari with Nkollo Tours was truly beyond anything we could have dreamed of. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful, making the entire experience feel easy and well organised.
A special thank you to Mercy from the office, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole trip. She was incredibly responsive, checked in with us regularly, and made sure everything was going smoothly. It was reassuring to know that we had such great support throughout the journey.
We visited Tarangire, the North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and every destination was completely different and incredible in its own way. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the wildlife exceeded anything we could have imagined. We saw so many animals — including the Big Five — and it honestly felt like we saw almost everything we could have hoped for. Every day brought another incredible sighting or unforgettable moment.
The wildebeest migration was a particular highlight and was more spectacular than we ever imagined. Seeing the sheer scale of the migration and experiencing it in person was something we will never forget.
Our guide, Ringo, also played an important part in making the safari so memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions, and clearly passionate about the wildlife and the parks. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, while also giving us the space to simply take everything in and enjoy those magical moments.
Overall, our safari with Nkollo Tours was an incredible experience from start to finish. The organisation, communication, wildlife, landscapes, and unforgettable moments all came together to create a trip that exceeded our expectations.
A huge thank you to Mercy, Ringo, and the entire Nkollo Tours team for an absolutely unforgettable safari. We would recommend Nkollo Tours in a heartbeat!

Superb communication by Happy
Happy helped me organizing the safari tour. She did a great job!
I ended up not booking the tour but it certainly was not because of her communication or her work in preparing the quote. Another operator had a slightly more convenient itinerary.

Amazing
We had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The whole team was incredibly professional, friendly and attentive. They were always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and even thinking of little things they knew we might enjoy, which made the experience feel very personal.
Our safari guide was fantastic. He took the time to explain how the savannah and its ecosystem work, answered all our questions, and shared so much knowledge with us. You could genuinely tell how passionate he was about his job, which made discovering the wildlife even more interesting.
The person from the agency who accompanied us, Edson, was equally amazing. He made sure everything was taken care of throughout the trip, spontaneously offered to take beautiful pictures of us, and even surprised us with some lovely souvenirs. We really felt looked after the entire time.
What impressed us even more was how helpful they were when we accidentally lost our backpack. They went out of their way to help locate it and arrange for it to be sent to where we were staying afterwards. That level of care really says a lot about them.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The safari itself was unforgettable, but the people made it even more special. It honestly made us want to come back to Tanzania, and when we do, we would happily book another safari—or any other excursion—with this agency and team.
Thank you for making our time in Tanzania so memorable!

Professional and attentive tour operator who delivers a wonderful safari experience.
This was an unforgettable safari experience.
We enjoyed stunning Rift Valley landscapes and observed a wide variety of wildlife, including buffalos, zebras, impalas and many colourful birds.
Our driver‑guide Johny was very friendly, knowledgeable and hard‑working. He shared lots of interesting information about the park and local animals, and always prioritised our viewing and photography needs.
The lodge was lovely, with wild animals roaming around the premises. It was a wonderful wilderness adventure, and we highly recommend this trip.
