Best tour we could have dreamed about
We had the best safari trip with African Big cats safari. We had been picked up by our guide from the airport and then the dream begins. We arrived in an amazing lodge with a swimming pool (outpost lodge) and Emmanuel explained to us the program. We did one day in Manyara, 2 days in Seregenti, 1 day in Ngonrogoro and 1 day in Tarangire. Everything was perfect from the beginning till the end. The campsites were incredible (we spent 2 nights in Migombani were we have been upgraded and 2 nights in a public camp in Serengeti). Our guide Lord was just the best: he wasn’t following other cars as he had no maximum kilometers. He knew his job perfectly and we could feel he was really passionate by what he was doing. He manage to show us all the Big 5 and so much more. We were almost all of the time by ourself and without other jeeps, and it felt amazing. The chef Panga was also perfect, it’s the best food we ate in 3 weeks in Tanzania. Both Lord and Panga were really nice, interesting and perfect people to travel with. It was really difficult to choose a good company among all the different choices but for sure African Safari Big cats was the best. We cannot recommend more, and we will come back next year to organise à Kilimanjaro trek with them. Thanks again for everything!

Beyond what we could even dream about! Outstanding.
From the very first enquiry contact we knew Sweet Africa Safaris would be our tour operator. Nyix was very responsive to all the initial questions and he planned an absolutely amazing package for us which included 6 days safari and 6 nights beach. He organized everything perfectly and all the lodging exceeded our expectations. As a guide he was amazing, helpful, funny, friendly, very respectful and listening to our needs. Nyix was always on time and very organized which we loved. We did Samburu Park at Simba Lodge: gorgeous lodge right in the reserve, beautiful room with priceless views and outstanding food. The staff was amazing and made us feel at home.
The safari part in every reserve we visited was just beyond anything you can even imagine when you put a safari on your bucket list. Ol Pejeta Conservancy was amazing as you have a chance to see Rhinos as well as all the other animals. Lodging at Serena tented Camp was outstanding, deluxe tents and outstanding food. Next stop at Naivasha Lake: Sopa Lodge: beautiful resort by the lake. Very relaxing. On to the famous Masai Mara where we stayed at Treetops camp where they only have 5 tents or I should say palace!! Wow! Nothing you can even dream about. We took the optional hot air balloon ride and it is a MUST and worth every penny. You will have optional visit of a traditional tribe village : I would suggest that 1 visit is enough (either Samburu or Masai) as it is similar in many ways.
Throughout the journey our guide Nyix was always so helpful, he is good driver and has an incredible eye to spot the animals that sometimes we could not see.
This was our first safari experience and we fell in love with Kenya but mostly with Sweet Africa Safaris. We are already thinking about booking with the same company for a safari and beach trip in Tanzania.
This was truly a 5 star experience. We travel a lot and can't compare with any other trip we have done before.

For an unforgettable honeymoon choose Cross to africa safari
We had an amazing 8 days in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake manyara. We did our trip during the corona period, but it didn't bother us much. Antony had everything perfectly arranged. The accommodations were hygienic, beautiful and the food was very tasty. Also the staff was very nice everywhere and always in for a joke. Antony had sent us a good guide. Had an eye for everything and put the jeep on a perfect location to always shoot a beautiful photo. After the trip we spent another 5 days in zanzibar. Antony had a good feel for which hotel would suit us. What a great location and we enjoyed it so much
We totally recommend Cross to Africa safari!

Fun, Friendliness, Professionalism. We had the best time on this PERFECT trip to Bots
Starting at the super quick, comprehensive and detailed communication for planning the trip, all the way to organizing the shuttle to the airport afterwards everything worked out perfectly.
Every day they were able to accommodate our individual preferences and adapt the plans to optimize the experience and still manage to stay on schedule.
The vibe was super friendly and even as customers we felt like part of this wild and exciting Safari crew.
The best guides made this awesome trip a true "once in a life time experience".
Can't recommend it enough!

Awesome Safari Tour which exceeded our expectations!
We, two female mid 20 friends from Germany/Austria booked the 4 day Mikumi and Udzungwa NP safari starting from Dar es Salaam.
Lenard was the most friendliest and welcoming guide we could wished for. Always on time and more than happy to assist. We had wonderful conversations, rewarding for both cultural backgrounds and he always made sure that we got exactly what we wanted. Inside the NPs we had different drivers / guides (as they know the area and spots best) which were all really lovely and knowledgeable - so we saw a lot of animals and were always the “luckiest car” as our driver simply knew how to drive *yaay*. Also important to say that this is a private tour and you have your own car with no other tourists! :)
So for the 4 day safari, the first and last day were mainly for driving. Make sure you visit the Maasai culture in the evening of the first day - unforgettable, highly interesting and also authentic encounter with a totally different culture. The 2nd day is for Mikumi NP, one day in the NP for spotting animals is IMO totally fine and we wouldn’t wanted another day as one ist definitely enough to see everything!
The 3rd day in Udzungwa NP was awesome! Nice walk up to the waterfall and incredible views on top of it with lunch next to the cliff! Make sure you go swimming in the waterfall pools!
All in all I can highly recommend this 4 day tour! We were really thankful that everything worked out so smoothly and that we were so welcomed by all the locals and saw everything that we wanted inside the NPs!
Thanks Lenard!! :)

Well organised, quick to respond and extremely helpful
I had a wonderful time in Tanzania visiting Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara NP. Lion King adventures were extremely efficient and helpful with organising my trip. Mwita, our safari guide was very friendly and great with my two children. He was very knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife. My favourite experiences on the trip were seeing 3 young lion cubs feeding from their mother. We saw 92 lions in total and have many happy memories from our trip. Other memorable moments were the three leopard sightings and seeing some lions eating zebra after a kill. I plan to come to Tanzania in the future and would definitely go again with this company and hopefully the same guide.

Everything perfect except the last hotel in Arusha, which was poor
We made a 4 days/ 3 nights safari. Everything was well planned the guide was 5 star ( I recommend strongly- Salim). The only exception was the last hotel in Arusha (A1 Hotel). The managing and conditions very poor (no hot water and cold water only a few drops), the cook was nice and very professional. I believe that promise land will change this last hotel to keep high standards.

Spirit of Kenya - above and beyond!
We had an amazing time thanks to Spirit of Kenya! With Vanessa’s help, we designed an itinerary which worked well for us and the booking process was really smooth. During the safari our guide, Sego, was great fun and importantly he was very knowledgeable. He was determined that we saw the Big 5 and lots of other amazing scenes, and this didn’t disappoint! Spirit of Kenya were very professional and always went above and beyond - I’d definitely recommend them to anyone!

Great Agency, well organized, really nice accomodations and exceptional food
Great Agency. Everything worked out easy and well organized from the booking to the tour itself and the drop off. Definitely recommended! Our tour guide Isaac had a lot of knowledge about the different national parks, the animals and the plants. It was a really unforgettable week for us, thanks to Isaac and Savannah Tours. We loved the Landrover and the Safari feeling!
