Knowledgeable, fun, the best!
Our family of five went on a 7 night safari tour with Lion King Adventures. Each day surpassed our expectations! During the planning stage of our trip, communication with Lion King Adventure was always prompt and informative. Our family arrived at two different airports and Lion King Adventures was there for both arrivals. From the moment we got into the jeep on our first day, everything was seamless. Our first stop was Tarangire national park, it did not disappoint! Elephants, lions, ostriches, and zebras (to name a few) abound. And the lunch! Lion King Adventures supplies a chef prepared hot lunch everyday while on safari. We are a family of vegetarians, and meat eaters, everyone was taken care of, and the food was delish! We next went to Serengeti national park for three nights. This was a highlight for most of us! The animal viewing was great! We also spent time in Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. We could not have asked for a better planned trip.
The best part of our... Read more trip was our guide, Gilbert. Not only did Gilbert have a keen eye for wildlife, he was extremely knowledgeable and excited to share all that he knew. One of our family members was set on seeing a Black Rhino. By the last day we still had not seen one. But with Gilbert as our leader we knew we’d get lucky enough to spot one, and indeed we spotted four! Gilbert was diligent and kind and by the last night he felt like family! If you book with lion King Adventures and are lucky enough to get Gilbert as your guide, prepare for fun and lots of sight seeing! He made sure we got to see all Big 5, and so much more.
We haven’t even left Tanzania yet and we’ve already recommended Lion King Adventures to friends and family! Thank you Lion King Adventures for ensuring our first trip to Tanzania is not our last!

Amazing Safari Experience
Excellent experience from the first mail-contact to the last safari trip.
Jonathan was our tour guide. We‘ve started with a day in Nairobi and then we had a four-day-safari-tour (Amboseli, Tsavo West/ East, Diani). Every day was amazing. The Kenia Explorer team and especially Jonathan fulfilled all wishes we had and enabled us to see all the places and animals we wanted to see.
Thanks for this great tour! And thanks for showing us so many lions! Jonathan is the lion king.
We are looking forward to see you soon again!

Update on My pervious Review - From bad to worse.
After almost 2 years of waiting for Opulent Tours And Travel to return our deposit, we decided to give Evans Kadzomba the C.E.O at Opulent Tours And Travel, a chance to redeem himself and his company. (Please read my previous review for the full story. ). This is what happened:
Opulent Tours And Travel kept telling us that they cannot return the money because they had already paid advances to the lodging (2 years ago). We told them that since they are not returning our money, how about we come to Africa this July 2022 to do the original tour? We then received a reply that was nothing short of a slap in the face! Although the original tour was 31-days, and the new one only 25, Opulent Tours And Travel demanded another ~3000$ for the tour. The best part was that they claimed that because we gave them a negative review, we had to somehow compensate THEM! Naturally, we declined the insulting offer and once again requested our money back. Since then, Opulent Tours And Travel have stopped... Read more communicating with us.
To make a long story short - Do yourselves a favor and find another travel company with some professional dignity.

An exquisite experience with Gosheni
Exquisite experience, thanks to Peter who was very helpful with the booking process and William the amazing tour guide who made sure to show us ‘the big 5’ and way more.
The overall experience is better with Gosheni, from the lodges they choose to the way they serve lunch everyday and their overall planning.
Peter the owner even joined us on our last day and made sure we spend a memorable last day.
Amazing company and special thanks again to William for all his efforts with us!
Edward with a kind and helpful tour operator. He helped us the entire was and was always flexible
This was a very great and professionally run tour. The accommodation with William was great and I had no complaints throughout

Amazing experience!
To choose this tour operator we were convinced by the price and all the information we received. We do not regret it, and we really recommend Hello Tanzania. Everything went as planned, we were taken from the hotel to the airport, flight by a small plane, what is extra fun on the safari. At the beginning of the Safari we got coffee and snack for breakfast, then lunch. During the whole Safari water and soda drinks and juices were available all the time. We saw a lot of animals. Our guide very funny and with a big knowledge about Park and animals behaviour. The whole stay a photographer was with us, after two days we got a link with access to photos taken during Safari.

reliable, flexible, friendly, helpful - Can only recommend this operator.
It was a unique and unforgettable experience to meet the Mountain Gorrilaz and to experience them in the wild. I will always remember this. The team is really great and flexible, like a second family. Besides the trip to the Gorillaz, I experienced the wonderful landscape of Rwanda and thanks to my great driver I also learned a lot about Rwanda and its history. A really unforgettable beautiful experience. I will be back

Lark Journeys and Claire are the best!!
Lark Journeys is well organized. My 3day trip to Sossusvlei was well organized with no hiccup. The selection lodge was absolutely amazing. Incredible and magical excursion. If you want to do Namibia right, go with Lark Journeys!

Look not further! This is the operator that will exceed your expectations!
When looking for an operator to set up our safari, we got quotes from 5 different companies. Darrin and Kate really listened to our needs and budget and set up an amazing itinerary that fit our desires perfectly! They stayed in contact with us before the trip to ensure we didn't have any questions, and checked in on us during our vacation to make sure all of our needs were met. This is the 2nd safari for my husband and I, but this trip was ultimately for our mother who had never been to Africa. We let Compass know she had some mobility issues and they made sure she was taken care of from start to finish.
We took and 8 day private safari to the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, and Victoria Falls. Our lodging, guides, and hosts at each location provided impeccable service. We can't thank them enough for ensuring we had the perfect trip with amazing memories.
