Unforgettable experience. Brilliant company. Exceptional guide.
Lion King and our guide Immanuel have helped to make our last 6 days on Safari in Tanzania an absolutely unforgettable experience.
The Company:
From the moment we enquired with Lion King, they have been brilliant. They have answered emails promptly (thanks to the admin team - Nickson and Rose in particular), and accommodated every request and change we made to the itinerary. Spending such a large amount of money on a holiday abroad when you've never actually seen the company is daunting, but I cannot vouch for Lion King enough. They have proven themselves again and again. Transfers from the airports were smooth, and all of our accommodation and admin was handled brilliantly. Even down to the finer details, like walking you step by step through the payment process (very scary!) and the pre-depature documents needed like healthchecks and visas, the admin team were faultless.
Our guide:
What can we say about our guide Immanuel... Not only was he an absolute legend to be around, but he made sure that we had the very best time possible. He was attentive to all of our needs, going that extra mile to do little things that made our trip extremely special. We have honestly loved spending time with Immanuel. He went through the plan for each day, and explained in detail what we were looking out for. On game drives, Immanuel navigated around the parks fantastically, and was able to provide expert explanations for all of the animals we saw. Immanuel went above and beyond in every way (serving us lunch from lovely cutlery and croquery when other groups had cardboard boxes, ensuring we were checked in at each new venue, and taking any photos we needed, just to name a few things!). During a trip to the Ngororo Crater, Immanuel set up a lovely picnic lunch with a table and chairs, and created a really special memory that we'll treasure forever.
Even after a long day of driving, Immanuel took the time to ensure our jeep was clean and fresh, ready for the next day. Also, Immanuel's intuition behind the wheel and using the radio system meant that we got to see way more than other groups might have who didn't have the same expertise as us - things like a group of cheetahs (very rare), and even lions taking down a gazelle.
You spend a lot of time with your guide, so it's important that you get a good one. And, thankfully for us, Immanuel was faultless. I can honestly say we couldn't have wished for anyone better. Not only have we made countless memories that we'll never forget, but also a friend. Our Tanzanian Rafiki. Hopefully it won't be too long till we see you again.
Thanks Lion King and of course, Immanuel. We would not hesitate to recommend you as THE company for anyone looking to do an unforgettable Safari experience.

Incredible Safari
An incredible experience!!!!
The interaction with the company was impeccable. They answered all our questions and helped whenever we asked.
Our guide Simon was tireless. He managed to show all the animals I was expecting and a few more. In addition to helping me take amazing photos on my phone.
Our cook was Action. We asked him to make traditional food and it was very good.
Please do not ignore the company's warnings about how cold it is at night in Ngorongoro.

Dream tour with perfect service
It was perfectly organised trip, we would like to say biggest Thank you to all the team of Spirit of Kenya. The tour was individual, the guide speaks fluent English and was very attentive and polite. We saw many animals, including even lion hunting, cheetahs, leopard, elephants, hippos, giraffes, etc. In hotels, we lived in villas where zebras and monkeys came. For 5 days we got a lot of unforgettable impressions.

Incredible Experience
What an amazing experience! We were a group of five people from Portugal and we all absolutely loved it. Simon was our guide and he was excellent - Good driver, good teacher and a really funny guy. He maged to show us a lot, there was nothing we would like to see and we didn't...we have seen the big five in 1 day!
The car was great, it had all the conditions, including plugs to charge our fones/devices.
The experience in the tends was good, but be aware it can get very cold in Ngorongoro camping park. And a warm shower won't be possible everytime...
Action was our cooker and I have to say I really enjoyed every meal.
Overall I had a incredible experience and totally recommend Safari Soles Tours.

Impeccable
The team was always super friendly and reliable. They complied with everything. The driver Simon put a lot of effort into being able to see the animals and to take the best pictures. The car was well equipped to charge batteries and cell phones. They provided all camping equipment, including sleeping bags. The Action cook was impeccable and always provided vegan options. We saw the big 5 in one day! I loved the experience!

Quality service
We went around with friends and we were very satisfied with the work of Axis Africa Expedition. Getting in touch by wathsapp was very easy and efficient. The guide "alex" was always attentive and allowed us to have a great time. I advise Axis africa. Thanks Alex for the trip

The operator was professional and patient.
The whole process was smooth and inexpensive because we had dollars. The booking rates were reasonable, and the communication between us and the person that assisted us was quite professional and conducive during our booking. If think everything went well and on time and the tour was great.
