Best trip ever
We met Pius at one of the Fitur exhibitions, years later we decided to climb kilimanjaro finally and chose 7 days machame. He helped us with a lot of with all the information, requirements and tips for a succesfull trek.
He is very kind and professional.
We changed dates couple times and he had no problem on making new bookings.
If you are looking for good price and company I highly recommend Spoonbill tours

Lion King Adventures is top of the Line
Lion king adventures is top of the line and surpasses the other Safari companies on service and experience. The communication prior to booking the Safari was easy and everyone was very quick to respond to answer all of our questions regarding coordination with James through WhatsApp or email to the details and payments with Pendo. It can be difficult to coordinate a PCR covid test in Tanzania in order to fly back to your country or transit through another that requires it, but Lion king made this process stress free and we were able to take one in the middle of the Serengeti and when we arrived our last night in Arusha the test certificates were already printed for us.
Our guide was Salehe (definitely request to have him). He knows all the national parks very well (Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater), so knows where to find the animals and is an expert at properly placing your Safari vehicle to have the best viewing and best spot for photos). He took care of everything…once he picked us up from the airport he dealt with all the logistics of hotels and national park permits etc. and we just went with the flow and got to enjoy ourselves. He pays attention to detail and would set up a special picnic lunch for us on the Safari days equipped with tablecloths, table/chairs/ wine bottle with our names engraved on it, kept the food hot or cold, it was amazing. We would see other people from safaris walk by and make comments about how they wished their Safari company would do that. Salehe also made us feel very safe which was important to us as two female travelers.
Our favorite accommodation was Tarangire Treetops- definitely request to stay there. It’s a magical place. Also the Lion King Safari vehicle is very comfortable. There’s even charging ports for your phones and devices and many spots for the drinks they provide for you. All the safaris are private too, which also adds to the best experience. Two things to make sure are in your itinerary are visiting the Maasai village and the sunrise hot air balloon Safari in the Serengeti.
If you are trying to decide on a Safari company, this one takes care of all the logistics, provides you with the best experience, is very affordable, has impeccable service and pays attention to detail, is a private Safari, and is simply THE BEST.

Excellent 5* service
It is very difficult to travel during lockdown but Gems crew were able to postpone my trip due to travel restrictions across South Africa without an extra charge. Also I was kept informed at all times.

Exemplary service and great time in Africa
We had plenty of time to go on a 3 day Safari to take this tour and see the wildlife. The Serengeti National Park is one of the outstanding national parks we visited which is quite expansive with abundant wildlife. We saw all of the animals up close including multiple lions, and buffalo, herds of zebra and giraffe, crocodile as well as hippos. Great value and photography on this three day safari.
We all had a great time going on this tour. Horace ,our guide, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable on where to find different animals, very kind and helpful in all of our needs.He picked us up right on agreed time,thank you Horace the tour was great and well organised by the company!!
We loved the way the African Savannah Trekkers took time to plan our travel while taking us through every process in a detailed manner. The fact that they were very sensitive in regards to Covid-19 protocols was an additional plus on their end. Our experience in Africa, being the first time was made easier and more interesting thanks to this tour operator!! Worth a five star from me.The airport transfer was done very professionally.Great reception too, from airport transfer to visiting the attractions, their website had everything true.
I would definitely recommend them anyday.

Great tour operator to do safari in Tanzania
Great tour operator to do on safari with, Moses, our Guide was helpful and able to pick us up from the Airport and we started our tour direct from Airport. We had the best of Safari in Tanzania. Seka and Charles were very kind , patience when we started to communicate with them even during our Safari, very knowledgeable in places to go and they were able to organize everything in very short period of time. We will definitely will use Taste of Afrika service in future. Thank you Charles and your Team.

Great tour
We had a great experience with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. We did the budget safari and everything was perfectly arranged. We had great contact with Bartho before the safari, we could ask him anything and he was always quick to respond. Our guide Malissa was amazing and went out of his way to show us everything we asked to see and more. Our cook Doula made sure we had an amazing three course meal every night. Where other safaritours had standard lunch packages we always had a warm meal for lunch with the choice of different dishes. The lodges we stayed in were pretty basic but okay. The one in Serengeti was our favourite as it was in the middle of the park and giraffes would great us at breakfast. Overall it was definitely worth the money!

Outstanding experience with Ben and Ngoni Safaris
Sedrick was the one organized the tour… he was very clear about pricing, what was included, itinerary, etc. Ben Ndugwa was our tour guide for the entire 7-day adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide, companion, and new friend. A speaker of English, Luganda, and Swahili, he is a proud Ugandan who knows a lot about the country, the national parks, safaris, animals, and trekking. Unfortunately, he was not able to accompany us on the actual gorilla trek, due to the high cost of permits, but he has previously experienced it so we were able to share the experience. At all stops, he was able to tell us exactly what we needed to wear or bring, and what to expect to make the most of the experience. (We met other tour groups on the way and found that they weren’t always as informed or prepared as we were.) While Uganda is a generally safe country, Ben made us feel especially safe and comfortable along the way. We plan to return to Uganda and will definitely ask Ben to be our guide. Highly recommended experience with him and Ngoni Safaris.

Professional and Passionate about giving great service.
I just got back form a 4 night /5 day safari with Mufasa, from start to finish it was excellent, well-executed, communication superb, great value and a wonderful guide.
I originally booked solo and 4 days before my safari 2 others joined me, Joesph worked out all the details, secured the extra rooms, and kept in touch with me promptly about everything.
Once w arrived in Kenya , the next day we were met by our super guide Kevin! Words can't describe his passion for the birds and wildlife, he's smart, educated and easy going. we had a wonderful time and lots of laughs with him. Highly recommend him!!!
We saw more than I ever dreamed of, even a crossing of the Wildebeest during the migration. Exceptional !!!
Lodges and food were great and would not hesitate to book again. We are actually looking at the Serengeti with Mufasa in late November.
I was also very impressed that Joesph cane to see me the night after the tour to make sure everything was great and that we were happy customers. He truly wants to give a great experience.!! Book with them, you will not be disappointed.

BEYOND ALL EXPECTATIONS
We used African Welcome safaris for The Rwanda portion of our trip to Africa. From the moment Moses, our guide, picked us up at the airport until the evening he dropped us off several days later, he was nothing but outstanding. Everything was planned for and taken care of. Our stay at Serenna hotel in Rwanda was good. We went to Volcano National Park staying at Sabyino Silverback Lodge. The Lodge was more than we hoped for. First class in every way. The staff were remarkable.
Kathy, who pulled all this together for this part of our African trip did a phenomenal job.
