Amazing safari experience, highly reccommend
I recently joined a 2-day safari in Tanzania as a solo Male traveler, and it was an incredible experience. Innocent my tour consultant curated a seamless itinerary, ensuring a perfect balance of wildlife encounters and cultural immersion. The group dynamic was fantastic, making the journey even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this safari for solo travelers seeking adventure and camaraderie.

Very well organised
Dividing the time between Kruger NP and Sabi Sands was a great choice. Everything (fly-in; hotels; transporation...) was very well organised from the side of Discover Africa and everything went smooth.

Very Professional - Golden Rwanda Safaris
Golden Rwanda Safaris are very professional. They have excellent guides, that are knowledgeable and experienced. They will give you lots of information, and safety is their top priority. Guide Taufique was the best, he was helping other guides in the park as well.

Saved our safari
Short story: we got scammed and Jocky saved our holiday/safari
Long story: we were communicating with a tourist camp but apparently their email address got hacked. So after making the down payment and final payment before arriving (never do that, learn from me), we arrived in Nairobi excited to start our adventure. But there we learned the truth. We got informed by Jocky tours that the camp it’s email was hacked and I transferred the money to a scam account.
Jocky then saved our safari by fixing everything in minutes.
About the safari itself, it was magical. We saw everything and more. Lions fighting over their prey, lionesses with cubs, elephants, rhinos, cheetah, zebras, hyenas, … Our guide Charles Kyalo made our stay and our tour very special. He knew every road in the parks like the back of his hand and drove like an expert. He was also very knowledgeable about the animals and culture. Definitely a recommend.
Thank you very much Jocky tours and Charles!

Great experience, professional service
Safari with Lenchada was one of best experiences we have ever had.
Communication with Alex was very good, he amended safari itinerary as per my remarks and requests. He also assisted us with purchase of train tickets to Mombassa.
Our guide was Peter who made a lot of effort in order to provide us with the best animal spottings. These experiences will be with us for the rest of our lives. Absolutely epic.
We were travelling by a new 4x4 Landcruiser which had only 4 safaris before ours. No issues with the car. To the opposite actually because number of other drivers were jelous of Peter's Toyta model. Apparently it was some top notch version of safari Landcruiser.
Lenchada is definitely a company worth recommending. You will not regret chosing their services

Everything what you need and more
I am absolutely amazed by the service that we were given! Our guide Stanley was very very skilled , when you see how he is dealing with difficult parts of the road - you understand that you can just relax and enjoy. His energy and sense of humour and knowledge of the nature also very impressive. Everything was more than enough to have a very good time . We saw many animals and (what I was not expecting) felt very secured . This guys are doing their job with pleasure and very professionally! Absolutely recommend

Best experience !
This tour was one of the best experiencies of my life. Suricata safaris took care of everything from the beggining until the very end. We had an amazing driver Rocky who always made sure we are having a good time he was very proffesional and patient with all our questions and he was always available for us during the whole trip. Rocky made our trip 100% better. Also I have to mention how the food was amazing , always wide selection of very tasty food !

Amazing and Excellent
This was my second safari experience and I must say it's better than my first one. The organisation, communication and openness is appreciated. I can't say much about the game drive because it speaks for itself.
You can trust Akoms Safaris to deliver a memorable safari.

The best choice!
Our experience with Lion King and Salehe Kimosa as our guide for our honeymoon went above and beyond anything we could’ve dreamt up! We know from experience that searching and deciding on the right safari tour is a long search - stop your search NOW and book this trip! Choosing to go on this trip was a huge financial decision for us (as I’m sure it is for many reading this now!) but it was SO worth every single penny. We will remember this trip forever and cherish everything we learned and experienced. We picked Lion King for its great reviews and the fact that it is completely run by Tanzanian staff and family owned by a former safari guide (and we had the pleasure of meeting him and his son on New Years Eve at Nyota Luxury Camp! He is absolutely wonderful and so committed to making sure his guests have the best experience!). We were so glad we made this big decision from the very beginning - communication with Lion King was so thorough and timely before the trip. We received all the details we needed and were easily able to make a few adjustments before the trip (added another day in the Serengeti). After being there, it is so clear that the itinerary is very thoughtful. As a couple who loves to travel and usually plans everything themselves, it was amazing to have everything planned so beautifully by Lion Kong and not have to worry about one detail for our honeymoon. There’s always anxiety before a trip - especially such a big one, but Lion King and Salehe made this a completely stress-free and relaxing experience.
Now about our AMAZING guide, Salehe Kimosa. From the minute we met him I knew we’d have an awesome trip! He is everything an expert guide should be and more - super friendly and personable, so smart and knowledgeable about all the animals and plants/trees and an incredible navigator and driver (which we realized is SO important). He has this one-of-a-kind intuition, knowing where to go and exactly where to park so we got the best views and photos. We went during a couple of rainy days with more treacherous roads and I’m someone who can get nervous in the car, but in Salehe’s hands, I felt so safe the whole time. Salehe went above and beyond to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime. One example of how he exceeded our expectations was that he recognized that the tall grass in Serengeti during this rainy season would prohibit us from seeing a lot, so he brought us to a more remote area between Ngorogoro Conservation Area and Serengeti, where you can drive off the road. It was the best adventure and we saw so so much - lots of cheetahs, a leopard, giraffes play fighting etc. etc. It was so clear that really the only expert guides are capable of doing this and Salehe is clearly an expert. And he decided to do this during one of the longest drives/days we had (it was probably a 13 hour working day for him), he really really cared that we saw what we had hoped and made it happen!! He also made our last night in the Serengeti so memorable, bringing us out to a sunset spot to enjoy wine that Lion King had specially labeled for us. He’s also an all around awesome and friendly person, and a pleasure to spend time with and learn from. We met several Lion King guides and they all seemed awesome, but I’d say that if you can request Salehe, I can assure you’ll have the BEST time.
Lion King booked us incredible accomodations! They greatly surpassed our expectations. The Maramboi Tented Lodge offered a private pool with views of Lake Maynamara and Nyota Luxury Tent showed us unparalleled friendliness and service. It was an amazing lodging in the middle of the Serengeti! We’ve never stayed anywhere remotely close to how nice all of the accommodations were - we had everything we needed and much, much more.
One last one note about what sets Lion King apart - you will see at the picnic areas that all tours give a boxed lunch. With Lion King, we got a full hit meal on a picnic blanket - a perfect example of how Lion King stands apart. Also I’m a vegetarian and was worried about the options. Let’s just say I’ve ever ate this well!!! Another note is that most tours only have windows that open halfway - we were able to fully put down our windows for the best view AND our truck had a built-in cooler always filled with water, juice, soda and beer, how cool is that?
Longest review I’ve ever written by far but worth it to help inspire others to make the best decision and book with Lion King (and Salehe!!)
