Gilbert in the BEST Guide/Driver and Lion King Adventures is the BEST tour company. Go with them!
Lion King Adventures was wonderful!!! Anna took care of everything until the point when Gilbert met us for the start of our Safari. She handled everything seamlessly and the value for the mid-range safari was excellent. The best part though was Gilbert!!! He took care of everything and make sure we saw ALL animals including a Rhino and her baby! We had a Cheetah climb on our Land Cruiser and then watched as it stalked and take down a Grand Gizzel, watched a Hippo fight right in front of us, 3 Wildebeest Migration crossings, lions mating, Leopards in trees with their kill, too many Giraffes, Zebras, Elephants and other animal to name!! Everything ran so smoothly, and Gilbert is an expert at spotting the wildlife and makes sure we saw them up close and personal!! Accommodations were wonderful and the food delicious!! Use Lion King for your safari and ask for Gilbert to be your guide/driver. You will have a wonderful safari experience!

Warning! Suspected insolvency! Capture Tanzania Adventure LTD ARUSHA
On 14.07.22 I booked a 2-day safari from Zanzibar to Tanzania (Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP) on the recommendation of a regional TUI travel agency in Cottbus. The contacts to the above-mentioned tour operators took place exclusively through the local travel agency. On the eve of the departure for the safari in Zanzibar, the first cancellation (due to accident of the GF) with the alternative for an AWT took place on 23./24.09.22. Here, too, the cancellation was made by EMAIL the evening before to the local travel agency in Cottbus. On 22.09.22 there was an EMAIL with "comforting words" and the notification of the repayment of the travel price signed by the "booking team" of the above mentioned company. Since then, the owner has only sent a regrettable message to my travel agency because of my report in various travel portals and the substantive notification of insolvency combined with the threat of legal action, I should continue to warn against this above-mentioned company and have filed a criminal complaint against the mentioned company.

They took care of it all and made our dream vacation come true
Joseph was a wonderful host and had quality guides and drivers to take care of us throughout our entire 10 days in Tanzania. We loved our visit that included hiking Kilamanjaro, 3 days of amazing safari, as well as the seafari experience in Zanzibar. Thank you, Joseph and team!

Superb
We just got back from our vacation in Tanzania and can not say enough good things about our safari and safari guide Ziggy! He went out of his way to give us the best adventure possible. From successfully showing us the Big 5, to answering any and all questions we had about animals and the culture, we were given an experience of a lifetime. Our selfie with Ziggy will absolutely be going in our scrap book!

safari tour 5 days
Siya is a great guide, with a great experience.
We had the chance to discover a lot of Tanzania with him. The safari trip was amazing and Sia tried to meet our expectations every time we asked for something. Also, we had the chance to have a personal chief recommended by Siya, which was a great addition to the trip.
We definitely recommend Sia and Bahati Safari for a safari tour it’s definitely the best in town !

Cape Town and Safari was wonderful, although intense, entirely memorable and good value.
Our group of six who have travelled together extensively, enjoyed the Cape Town and Safari tour immensely. The sights in the Wester Cape and especially the safari were great. The meals, as promised were first rate - a bit simpler on safari but given the limitations with the locations they were fine. The guides were top notch. Every one of them - and there were several counting rangers and one day tour guides at the different sites, was excellent. Really the most satisfaction that I can express was with the quality of the guides. Knowledgeable, safe, dependable, adaptable.
The safari sites were amazing. Especially interesting was Humala even though the wildlife viewing there was less than Tshukudfu and the incomparable Kruger. Humala was a delight in its remoteness, and the land was out of this world uniquely beautiful. Our guide there could answer every question except concerning the geology - a personal and perhaps quirky interest, and to this she admitted the void in her knowledge. Can't be expert in everything but not faking it, as she did is the best approach. The value for us was great - maybe even better as we paid in full in 2019. Very possibly the price has increased since then. If we had paid more for our tour my satisfaction would still be high. The only comment that I would like to provide to GTD concerns marketing. Many who I spoke to came to GTD and this tour through some sort 'limited time half price deal' - in fact every guest that I discussed this with did. It struck me, and others that I spoke to as inauthentic. That and my observation that some guests were ill prepared for the rigours of the this travel; safari vehicles and long days etc. Nevertheless bottom line: great value, great experience

Most excellent
All the tour guides are capable, confident, competent, and caring, for their visitors. The entire staff go out of their way to make sure that the experience is superb. I was only there for two nights but the one day out allowed me to see so many animals I was amazed. Along the way I met several people who had been out for several days in a row because they simply loved the experience so much and couldn't get enough. I would recommend this safari company without hesitation, and I would certainly go back again.

Our trip to the safari with “African big cats safari” was amazing!!!
Before the travel to tanzania i asked 6 safari companies for tour proposal for our honeymoon and after some iterations we decided to give our trust to African big cats safari and they didn’t let us down.
The company answered to every question and request we had before the trip (and we had a lot).
The Manager Emanuel met us in the first day to explain us how the trip is going to be and to make sure every request we made would be done. He also met us in the last day to make sure our safari tour was everything we asked for, AND IT WAS!!!
Our tour guide Endeni was absolutely amazing!!!
For the entire trip he made sure that we will see everything, with his hawk’s eyes he saw every thing around us (even far away or well hidden) and pointed us to there. He made sure we will always have the best view to anything we encountered and take care for every need or wish we had during the safari.
Endeni was very polite, knowledgeable and friendly and the best tour guide someone could ask for.
Our safari was in a luxury level with very good lodges: ilboru, kitela, and an amazing stay in kubu kubu inside the serengeti!
We highly recommending African big cats safari!!!

High quality safari trip provider to see the best spots in Tanzania
Firstly, we spent quite a bit of time reviewing and messaging various safari companies. But the moment we spoke to Jane at Brilliant Safari we knew we were in safe hands.
The company is young relative to other providers hence they have fewer reviews, but don't let that put you off at all.
Their professionalism, communication, quality of their vehicles and the guide we had were superb. I have done quite a lot of safari trips before but they arranged this trip perfectly.
They also added some really nice touches to the trip like giving us matching safari hats to commence, providing plenty of snacks and a cool box full of water and soft drinks that lasted us throughout the trip.
Gabriel, our guide, was hugely experienced and very knowledgeable. We felt like we were in safe hands straight away and he seemed to understand behavioural aspects of the animal's in such a way that we stayed for longer in certain situations to catch more action.
The communication with Jane was excellent throughout and they even dropped us back at Kilimanjaro airport to help us on our flight out of Tanzania.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY FOR YOUR SAFARI ADVENTURE. THEY WERE SIMPLY AMAZING.

The Big 5 in the Kruger Park
We had a fantastic time time with Wildlife Safaris and we recommend this operator to anyone. The guide, Simon, was very experienced and knowledgable, genuinely wanted to show us as the Big 5 (and succeeded), and was very likeable and fun to talk to. The tour itself was very well organized. Communication during the booking and payment process was flawless.
