Lion King Adventures is the best
A huge thank you to Lion King Adventure Safari guide Mkwanda! With 14 years of safari experience, superb driving skills, an exceptional ability to locate animals, meticulous explanations, and patient waiting for us to take photos, she made our first safari experience unforgettable.
Besides achieving our goal of finding the Big Five, we also spotted a mother cheetah sleeping with four cubs, a leopard sleeping in a tree, a pride of lions eating a zebra, a lioness with a group of cubs, a fantastic view of wildebeest crossing a river, vultures fighting for food, a large herd of buffalo, a herd of elephants playing in the water to cool off, a zebra scratching itself, a hippo resting on the shore, a rhinoceros foraging, a flock of flamingos in a crater lake, a male lion sleeping… and many more scenes that filled our trip with unforgettable moments. We took thousands of photos to reminisce over and will be able to show off to our colleagues back in Taiwan.
Thank you to Lion King Adventure for arranging such wonderful accommodations, especially Nyota Rift Valley, which was absolutely gorgeous. I never expected to have the opportunity to stay there, and it was truly an honor to experience it. I wish I could have stayed another night. Nyota Serengeti was also fantastic; the staff's warm hospitality and explanations made us feel incredibly honored to have the opportunity to stay there for two days and enjoy a comfortable and restful stay. We took some beautiful nighttime photos of the starry sky at Malaika Migration Camp. The campsite was free of light pollution, and the comfortable rest areas made it well worth the trip. For our last night, we stayed at the Ngorongoro Rim Lodge, facing the crater. The view of the crater was unbeatable. The beautiful and comfortable rooms, expansive views, and excellent service were fantastic.
We also experienced a paid tour, the Serengeti Balloon Safari, which offered a bird's-eye view of the animals' movements. Led by a professional pilot, we were able to take many beautiful photos and see the stunning savannah. It was 100% worth the expense.
Our seven-day trip ended too quickly. I wish we had booked a few more days to take more photos of the animals, but I believe I will have the opportunity to visit this beautiful place again to continue my safari experience and enjoy a traditional African massage.
Finally, thank you, Charles, for the itinerary assistance in Aursha and for the language lessons. Asante sana.
A safari is a must-do in your life. Choose the professional Lion King Adventure, specifically Mkwanda; you won't be disappointed.

Absolute delight!
A Safari We’ll Never Forget 🦁🌍
Some trips give you photographs. Some give you stories. And then there are trips that give you moments you know you’ll carry with you forever.
Our Kenya journey with Axis Safari was exactly that.
From the vast landscapes of Masai Mara to the beauty of Nakuru and Naivasha, we witnessed wildlife in its most extraordinary form — raw, untamed and completely on its own terms. Every game drive brought a new surprise, and every sighting reminded us how incredible it is to experience nature this close.
But what truly made the trip special were the people behind it.
A very special shoutout to Yasin, our big brother, who was with us throughout the journey. More than just an experienced guide, he became our companion through the trip. He made sure we were comfortable, looked after every little requirement and, most importantly, made us feel at home. His knowledge, patience and passion for the wild made every game drive that much more memorable. Beyond a traditional guide he helped us with the day to day affairs & ensured we have the best if times.
And then there was Patrick — our guide for a one-day private safari in Masai Mara. Choosing to do that private tour was probably one of the best decisions we made. Patrick took us deep into the core of Masai Mara, knew exactly where to look and somehow managed to help us witness the Big Five in a single day. An unforgettable experience, made even better by his expertise and enthusiasm.
A big thank you to Winnie as well, who patiently answered all our questions before and during the trip. No matter how many queries we had, she was always there with a response and made the entire planning process incredibly smooth. She was ever available & helped us curating this itinerary so well.
To the entire Axis Safari team — thank you for making Kenya much more than just a holiday. Highly recommend them for your Kenya visit!
Kenya, you were extraordinary. And Axis Safari, you made sure we experienced it the right way. ❤️

Reliable excellent service
I got Toto Tembo contact from my friend who went for the Masai Mara safari with Toto Tembo last year. I trusted my friend's recommendation and we were not disappointed. We had a great time and amazing experience in experiencing wild life. I would highly recommend Toto Tembo.
Our contract person was Esther. Most of the communications were on WhatsApp and she was highly responsive. We had many questions along the way, but Esther was patient in replying everything.
Esther suggested some initial itinerary and we exchanged ideas and indicated our preference. Esther was flexible and adjusted the itinerary multiple times before finalising what we wanted. Last minute we had to change our flights due to West Asia uncertainty, and Esther helped to book hotels etc before the trip as some of our friends arrived Nairobi early.
We covered both Masai Mara and Serengeti. Dennis was our guide at Masai Mara. He is the best. Friendly and highly knowledgeable about wild life. Please ask for Dennis, if he is available. We experienced lion attacking wildebeest, cheetah hunting, wildebeests crossing river and many other actions.
Overall we had an amazing experience with Toto Tembo safari.

An Unforgettable 14-Day Kenya & Tanzania Safari Experience🇹🇿🇰🇪
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Inspired Safaris Kenya for arranging an incredible 14-day safari journey through Kenya and Tanzania.
From the very beginning until my departure from Kenya back to Qatar, the entire experience was exceptionally well organized and memorable. Everything was handled with great care, professionalism, and attention to detail.
A special appreciation goes to Lina Margaret,💐 who was not only an excellent guide but also a wonderful companion throughout the entire journey. She guided and assisted me throughout all 14 days, including the Tanzania part of the safari, and continued to support me right up until my departure from Kenya.
Lina was always helpful, friendly, patient, and professional. Her knowledge of the wildlife, national parks, local culture, and safari routes made the experience even more special. I truly appreciated how she made sure I was comfortable, safe, and enjoying every moment of the journey.❤️
From the breathtaking landscapes of Kenya to the magnificent wildlife of Tanzania, including unforgettable moments in the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Ngorongoro and Serengeti, this safari has given me memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.
Thank you, Inspired Safaris Kenya, and a very special thank you to Lina Margaret💐 for making my African adventure such a wonderful and unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend Inspired Safaris Kenya to anyone dreaming of experiencing the beauty and wildlife of East Africa. 🦁🐘🦒🌍❤️
Asante Sana! 🇹🇿🇰🇪

Best solo safari as a female traveler
Big thanks to Sola Safari Travels for the amazing experience I had as a solo female traveler. I was first skeptical if it was safe traveling alone, but Linsel assured me of my safety and I am glad that it turned out more exciting than I anticipated. It was a 7 days safari, Maasai Mara, Amboseli and lake naivasha. I wanted to visit three places in five days but ended up settling on seven days to get maximum safari experience. I was able to see a lioness hunt on my second day which was the highlight of the trip. This was my first safari and it was nothing short of epic, glad I did it with Sola Safari Travels.

Stunning first exposure to safari
Short (2 day) safari comprising visits to Ngorongoro crater and Tarangire NP, with remainder of stay in Zanzibar.
Safari was excellent, provided by Promised Land Tours. Mary was superb in organising and our driver (forgot his name!) Was knowledgeable and very friendly.
Would highly recommend going with Promised Land Tours. Would definitely choose again.

A company you can truly trust for an African safari
My wife and I recently completed an incredible trip through Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda organized by Lion King Adventures, and I want to share our experience especially for travelers who, like us, may have doubts about choosing a safari company from thousands of miles away.
Planning a safari in Africa is a significant investment, and when you are booking from Mexico with a company on another continent, trust, communication and reliability are extremely important.
Before booking, I contacted 10 different safari companies. Lion King Adventures was the first to respond, but what really made them stand out was the quality of their service from the very beginning.
Even before we booked, they provided detailed information about vaccinations, weather, recommended clothing and other important travel considerations. None of the other companies I contacted offered this level of guidance.
They were also the only company willing and able to coordinate our complete itinerary across four African countries: Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.
And most importantly: what they promised during the planning process was exactly what they delivered during the trip.
From the moment we arrived in Africa, everything was organized. Transfers, accommodations, activities and logistics worked smoothly, allowing us to simply enjoy the experience without constantly worrying about what came next.
Our accommodations were excellent, with a special mention to Nyota, which was an absolute oasis and one of the highlights of our trip.
Our guides — Fredy, Martin and Sam — were fantastic. They were knowledgeable, professional, friendly and genuinely committed to giving us the best possible experience.
Behind the scenes, Becky, Rose and Jovita were incredibly patient and helpful throughout the planning process, always answering our questions and following up on our requests.
For anyone researching safari companies and wondering, “Can I really trust this company with such an important and expensive trip?” — based on our experience, yes, absolutely.
Lion King Adventures demonstrated professionalism, excellent communication, organization and genuine hospitality from our first email until the end of our journey.
We traveled all the way from Mexico 🇲🇽 to Africa 🌍 with very high expectations, and we came home feeling that we had fulfilled one of the greatest travel dreams of our lives.
If friends or family ask me tomorrow which company I would recommend for an African safari, Lion King Adventures would be my recommendation without hesitation.
Thank you to the entire team for an unforgettable experience.

The most complete guide I could possibly imagine
My sister spent a considerable time in a Boston hospital undergoing cancer treatment. Immediately prior to her discharge, she asked if I would accompany her on a trip to Africa, specifically Kenya. Of course, I said "Yes" and we booked a trip for the following June. We were met in Kenya by Isaac, who would be our guide for the entire 19 days. What a wonderful guide he was. Polite, accomodating, knowledgeable and a joy to be around. If I was asked to recommend Isaac as a guide, I would do so without hesitation. If I was asked to rate the experience on a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it a 10. Truly, this was the trip of a lifetime and one that I will never forget.
