Best experience of our lives!
My husband and I booked our honeymoon in Tanzania (5 days in safari, 3 days in Zanzibar) through Lion King Adventures and it could not have been a better company to work with! From day one of reaching out to them, they truly took the time to explain every detail, listen to our needs, and personalize an itinerary that would make us happy. They went back and forth with us multiple times and were very responsive. You can tell they are very organized and helpful, providing lots of tips to make sure there were no issues for us prior to leaving. Also, they took care of every detail--all the bookings and coordination, which was perfect as we were busy planning a wedding.
Then we arrived in Tanzania, their service was top-notch and seamless. Every single ride was coordinated for us, with no problems, and you always felt like someone was there for you. Even after leaving the mainland for Zanzibar, Lion King made sure everything was taken care of. It was perfect that we did not have to share a safari car with another group so our days were truly tailored to what we wanted to do and at what time. We loved our guide, Huruma, and the fact that we were with him the entire trip! He was incredibly personable, professional, knowledgable, and so thoughtful of our needs/wants. There was not a question we asked him that he didn't know or found out for us shortly after! You could also tell his experience and passion stood out from the other companies' guides during our drives. We appreciated how much he respected the wildlife and his patience/maneuvering so we could have the best game drives possible. We definitely felt more like friends, not just customers, with him and it was a big reason why our experience was so amazing. He truly loves what he does! And after talking with a few other drivers from Lion King, they all said the same thing about why they loved working for them--they are treated very well by the owner and management team. Makes such a difference in their staff!!
All of the accommodations were so amazing as well! We stayed at Mount Peru Hotel, Manyara's Secret, Nyota Luxury Lodge, and Lake Manyara Kilamamoja on the safari portion and found it difficult to even pick a favorite. In fact, they were all so nice we were torn everyday from wanting to stay there during the days and going out on the game drives. The staff at each place and even Tanzania in general is what my husband and I said made our experience so perfect. Everyone is so friendly, caring, welcoming, and truly so happy that you are there, you never just feel like another guest. Between the accommodations and Lion King staff themselves, we couldn't ask for better people to be surrounded by on our honeymoon. We cannot recommend them enough and don't know why anyone would use a different company!

Memorable Experiences in Rwanda, we Couldn’t ask more ! All the best Team Hermosa
Our Gorilla trekking experience with this company was a wooooow ! We couldn’t get closer to the Famous mountain Gorillas without their knowledge. From the beginning we were advised on the booking process and payment and there was no disappointment at all , we also enjoyed Golden Monkey Trekking and unique Rwandan culture at culture center in Kinigi! We already miss this beautiful country and we shall definitely bring our family and friends to see Rwanda.

Nomad was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable.
Purple Nomad Africa helped organize our family vacation to Kenya. They organized two safaris (Masai Mara and Ol Lentille) and a trip to Lamu. All arrangements were perfect. The accommodations were top-notch, food excellent and all staff great. Lizzie and her team worked within our budget to plan a perfect holiday. They were patient with us as we considered the various hotel/lodge options. The service was also excellent - Maxwell and Peter were very dependable and drove us around town safely and on-time.

Professionalism at its best- Highly recommend Hermosa company
We have booked Hermosa for our trip with our friends in June and our guide Damascene was very friendly expert in sporting animals in Akagera Park, we Lions, elephants, Leopards, Hippos and many more ! Doing a morning boat cruise when you are in Akagera is highly recommended. We plan to go for other parts of Rwanda including Gorillas in Virunga , we miss Rwanda and we will ask Damascene as our Guide. Cheers

The most UNREAL experience of our lives for our honeymoon!
To start off, I did an insane amount of research on different safari companies and different tour operators in and around Tanzania before we decided to go with Lion King Adventures. From start to finish, the experience was amazing and more than we could ever ask for and experience.
Every email back and forth with Lion King when we were putting our safari together was always immediate and accommodated everything we requested with ease. We've never used a tour operator before and it was so nice not to have to worry about the little details that we typically do on vacation. Lion King Adventures handles every little thing and it didn't go unnoticed.
The accommodations we stayed at were Kahawa House in Arusha to start off, Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge in Tarangire, Nyota Luxury Lodge in the Serengeti, and the Neptune Luxury Lodge in the Ngorongoro Crater region. Each accommodation that were stayed in was top notch service with the most amazing views.
Our guide was Gilbert and I would recommend him to anyone going on safari with Lion King. His sharp eye for finding animals that we didn't even see at first was crazy along with the amount of knowledge he has. You can tell he has a lot of passion and love for what he does and it shows. Every single day was something different and we saw everything we wanted to see and more. He really made our honeymoon memorable.
Even with our little mishap we had in Zanzibar with our hotel transfer, Lion King answered immediately during the evening hours and went above and beyond to figure out the issue. They did more than I thought they needed to. When we go back, we'll definitely be using Lion King Adventures again!
