safari, serengeti, sansibar, snorkeling - super
Jambo!
We booked the well-known Safari-Sansibar-combination with „Tanzania Safari bug“ and had a really great vacation!
Our journey was well organized, the guidance in advance was extensive and professional (this lodge or this one, that National Park or the other, these excursions are possible at Sansibar, „We suggest this variation …“). For example, before the days in the jeep, we spent one day in the Arusha National Park to take a hike with a ranger. Safari by foot. Recommendable!
Our safari guide Michael was (like) a gift from heaven. He deeply knows the countryside, the animals and the plants – and the stories behind („Now they are hunting.“). And all the time he radiates a pleasant sense of calm. For us as a small group (mum, dad , one child (9)) it was a great thing, that we could arrange our days individually. What’s the use of a beautiful lodge, if you don’t have enough time to enjoy it (and not arrive until sundown)? Of course, the boy wants to go into the pool (and myself too).
Our stay at Michamvi on Sansibar we also enjoyed very much. But after seven days in the jeep we didn’t want to discover the island by car, so now our child was the guide and we spent our time in the water and at the beach. Sansibar still wants to be explored. Next time!
Of course again with "Tanzania Safari Bug".

Personalized safari tour - high quality
Amazing communication with Lilian. She directly understood our wish and need. Always available and makes it a real pleasure to organize the trip. Extremely kind, committed and available. Service is high quality. The whole safari was very well organized (9 days for 2). The car was nice and always kept clean, lodges are all high level standing, very professional driver (Godson). The national parks were wonderful, and we could see the big 5! Amazing discovery thanks to Zohar team. Lilian is committed and always available, and extremely welcoming!

Amazing time
We have beautiful pictures and memories of our time in Kenya and Tanzania. We saw all of the big 5 plus. The weather was perfect and the accomodations were wonderful. Our drivers were very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend Kay Adventure Tours.

Fantastic, Knowledgeable, professional and friendly, would highly recommend.
We couldn't have asked anymore from Misuku Expeditions. What a fantastic experience! Thank you so much James and Johnnie we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you. We went on a 2 night safari to South Luangwa and stayed at Croc Valley. James drove us to the Zambian border where Johnnie was ready to collect us. We were with Johnnie for most of the trip and felt like we'd known him for years, It was so lovely to talk to somebody so impassioned about the flora and fauna of Malawi and Zambia. The whole experience was fantastic and the safaris were amazing. I really hope I can return to Malawi and Zambia in the near future and wouldn't hesitate to book an expedition with James and Johnnie again. I really wish them every success for the future as they truly deserve it.

Extremely professional and knowledable tour operator who will make sure you have a great safari
We had an amazing time with Lion King on a 4-days luxury safari tour though Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire national parks seeing lots and lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery staying at some fantastic accommodation.
From the booking everything was extremely professional. We reached out via email and got a well laid out itinerary for the time of our holiday. The team helped us with any follow up questions and adjusted the plan to our needs. All the comms were clear, timely and useful. I would have been impressed if a company operated like this in the UK and I’ll admit I was very surprised for a Tanzanian based company to be so easy to plan with!
Our guide Aroni was one of the highlights of our trip. He shared his good knowledge of the wildlife and nature and ensured we got to see some of the best sights on our safari (some examples - a group of cheetahs, up close with elephants, lions feasting on an unfortunate zebra and much much more). We also had some great chats about Tanzania in general which we really appreciated. Aroni is very responsible - he took into account when we needed to be someone by a certain time (our flight times and arrival) but we also never felt rushed and is a careful driver. With Aroni you always feel like you’re in safe hands. Overall, you’ll have a great time if you get Aroni as your tour guide.
The Lion King organised accommodation was top notch with great hospitality, rooms and facilities. Two of the locations we stayed at inside the Serengeti and you can watch the wildlife from the comfort of your hotel. It was always exciting to pull up to the next place and be bowled over again by the amazing setting and high standard.
Lion king also make things even better with the little details. They provided plenty of drinks, including red and white wine with mine and my wife’s name on them. The lunches we had while out for the day were tasty and each time Aroni would set up with a table cloth, drinks and nice cutlery. We felt pretty spoiled.
Overall, you can’t go wrong with Lion King. They are extremely profession, have some great guides and take extremely seriously taking care of you and making your safari an amazing experience.

Outstanding experience, very reliable tour operator
We booked a 9 days/8 nights safari with Uwanda Tours and Safari for a reasonable price compared to others. From the first contact to the very last day, we were not disappointed once. We asked to customize a bit the original itinerary, which was done without any problem. We did visit Mikumi, Ruaha and Nyerere National Parks + the Udzungwa mountains for a hike. We did everything according to the plan and the whole trip was honestly above our expectations. We discovered very different landscapes and unique environments within all National Parks. Katuku was such a nice, funny and friendly guide. He cares a lot about his guests and always made sure we were happy and could enjoy the most of the wildlife experience. He made us feel a lot of time like we were almost alone in the park, driving around and always looking for animals till the very end of each day. We could stop and admire the wildlife as long as we wanted. He is a very experienced guide who knows a lot about the nature and animals and shared a lot with us.
We had amazing time for our safari. Very trustworthy tour operator, everything was well arranged and they provide very good services. Accommodation and food were very good too. We don't regret our choice for the southern parks instead of the more busy ones in the North. The extra distance by car is so worth it -- the trips on the road are part of the experience, you can see a lot of small villages and local life. Thanks to Uwanda for this outstanding experience, highly recommended!

Fabulous
10 days Kilimanjaro hike including Safari with Gosheni Safaris.
The 6 day hike up to Africa’s rooftop was my biggest adventure yet, it was made super exciting and pleasant by the guide we had, Richard. Leading 7 demanding ladies with huge personalities was something he did with great finess. The pace he set for us, the advice we got, the laughs and easy conversations we had with him made it possible for all of us to summit. Assisting him was Olivo Oscar Oskido, such a soft spoken man with a lot of knowledge about nature. These two were also our talented photographers They captured memories to cherish forever. Then there was Georgie, the choir master. We had a dream team taking care of us. Thanks to Peter for putting our guides and porters together.
For the Safari part, we had our future brother in law, Ombeni driving us, taking pics and sharing with us his immense knowledge of the parks, the animals, the people and the Tanzanian society. On occasion doubling up as head waiter for our lunch stops.
Gosheni has given me new friends whom I truly appreciate. Asante sana, na shukrani, Tebogo from Norway/South Africa
