Perfect safari
We went on a Gamewatchers Safari to the OI Kinyei Conservancy, Mara in September. It was our first safari and first visit to Kenya. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Gamewatchers (Porini Camps). Everything was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! There was not one detail of our stay that Gamewatchers had not thought through, making it such a wonderful experience. Here I will just point out a couple of things that made the stay so perfect. Our Maasai guides, Jackson and Joshua, went out of their way to show us wildlife on each of our safaris, ensure we were comfortable, well taken care of and prepared for our safaris each day. Even on our last morning, unplanned, they rushed to our tent and urged us to move quickly to come and see something really special. We ran to the jeep, jumped in and they drove us to see a pride of lions eating a newly killed wildebeest. It was incredible to be just a few metres away from lions growling and devouring their kill. Also, I cannot state this strongly enough, Jackson and Joshua were wonderful engaging with our 16 year old son. They included him in our conversations, talked with him, and got him interested in everything we were experiencing. We stayed in a tent at the Ol Kinyei Conservancy and everything was beautiful. The staff think of every little detail to make your stay perfect, from the glass bottled water in the bathrooms, to hot water bottles under your bed covers at night, to the gorgeous decor and design within the tent, etc. The food was perfect and we loved sitting outside having our afternoon lunch watching gazelles and other animals grazing right near to us. After this safari, we did a budget safari with another company. The experiences between the two companies were like night and day. If you can afford it, do go with Gamewatchers, knowing that the money you pay will provide you with an unforgettably wonderful experience, but also support conservation efforts in Kenya, as well as support local Maasai communities.

Reliable
We had a great experience on safari in Tanzania. Our tour guide James was kind, reliable, and knowledgeable. We got to see so many beautiful landscapes and animals! Amazing experience! We especially loved our stay in the Serengeti at one of the mobile camps. My regret was that we should have stayed for at least 1 or 2 more night since the treck out there is quite bumpy and dusty.

Wonderful honeymoon safari
Our African safari with Lion King Adventures was an absolute dream come true! Standing with Pendo who booked the trip, was very patient and came up with several different options to make sure it met our desired length of stay and level of accommodations. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, our honeymoon felt incredibly special thanks to the choice of lodges that exuded luxury and charm. The breathtaking landscapes, magnificent wildlife, and enchanting sunsets made every day unforgettable.
However, what truly set this experience apart was our incredible tour guide, Enock. He was not just a guide, but a storyteller, a friend, and a true ambassador of Tanzania. Enock went above and beyond to ensure we didn't miss a single wonder of this beautiful country. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality made the journey even more extraordinary.
Every step of the tour surpassed our wildest expectations. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and genuine connection with both nature and the people. If you're planning an African adventure, take our word for it – ask for Enock as your guide; he will make your journey a memory to cherish forever.
Thank you, Lion King Adventures, for making our honeymoon safari an experience beyond words. We are forever grateful for the memories you've helped us create.

Efficient, honest tour company for arranging wildlife trips in southern Africa
Good company which arranged for us a 4 day (3 night) trip in Kafue National Park, Zambia. Pick-up from Lusaka was punctual & comfortable. Lodge was pleasant & quiet, with good meals & various activities as agreed & noted in our itinerary. Mr Collins Kalonga remained in contact with us throughout our time in Kafue NP to make sure that all is well; we were not disappointed. Everything was perfect. Later, we had the pleasure of meeting Collins in Livingstone where he helped us in several ways. I have no hesitation in recommending Southern Dynasty to other travellers who wish to visit southern Africa.

Great arrangement and Memorable exprience with East Africa Exotic Safaris
Four of us from China booked a 9 days safaris tour with East Africa Exotic Safaris after comparing several operators online. The tour turns out to be a quite worthwhile trip and very enjoyable safari experience.
We contacted Rapheal for Safari arrangement, he responded to our every request in a timely manner, and arranged everything to our satisfaction. Rapheal also impressed me a lot with his great patience and generousity when I had some issue with international wire transfer. Really appreciate his help and coordination.
In terms of the Safari itself, our guide Gerald is the best guide ever. He is decent, knowledgeable and good at spotting animals among the vast bush. During Safaris, he also shared much information of wild animals' habits and characteristics, which is quite interesting to us.
We have recommended East Africa Exotic Safaris to our friends and colleagues, hope we can come back soon and book another Safari trip with EAES.

Francis made the tour an amazing experience!
"Oh, what an unforgettable safari adventure with Francis from Jockey Tours in the mesmerizing Maasai Mara Reserve! Francis isn’t just a guide; he’s like the wildlife whisperer and the most entertaining companion you could ask for on a journey through such an awe-inspiring place. His knowledge about the reserve’s inhabitants and his stellar driving skills through all kinds of terrains made us feel so safe and secure throughout our trip. He always knew just where to go to give us the most epic sightings of the Big Five, and so much more! And let me not forget to mention his infectious humor - he kept us laughing and entertained every step of the way! I'm already daydreaming about the next safari and, no doubt, it’ll be with Francis and Jockey Tours again. If you're planning a safari, seriously, look no further - these guys have got you covered!"
