Best safari of all
We are returning safari guests and always go on safari with PD Tours. After we had already visited several lodges, we made the programme ourselves this time. Patrick contacted us about a week before the safari and recommended a slight change to our programme, as there were almost no animals left at one particular lodge due to the drought. That was great, he was absolutely right and with his recommendation for an adjustment our safari improved considerably. See the pictures for yourself. We had wonderful moments with many animals, although tears were shed because of the drought, as even some animals died in front of our eyes. If you are delicately disposed, I recommend Tsavo East, there the soil is rich and the animals are quite fit despite the drought. We stayed in fabulous lodges this time (SaltLick and Satao are my new favourites), a bit more expensive but fantastic! This was our best safari of all.

Well knowledgeable Tour operator and with a lot of experience in tourism industry
Our climax on our trip was a day trip to Nairobi National Park. The Playful baby elephants at the orphanage stole our hearts!
Our Tour Guide driver was Richard, the best tour guide ever. We learnt more about the Shedrick orphanage and how they safe the endangered elephants from different national park or reserves in Kenya. We can recommend this excursion to everyone who happen to be in Nairobi for an overnight, it's worth visiting.

Best ever Birthday Safari
For the celebration of my long-time friend’s 60th birthday, her and I took a safari tour organized by Right Choice that included an private all-terrain Toyota Landcruiser vehicle and private guide.
Our 11-day tour included Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West and 3 days at Diani Beach near Mombasa. Our journey was truly amazing and it felt like a dream because of all the experiences and adventures we had. George and Millicent were very accommodating even after we decide to make a hotel and park change in the middle of our itinerary. They made these changes without any additional cost even though it was an upgrade.
Our guide and driver John was excellent and safe navigating the roads through our trip. He knew where to find animal sightings and look-out points thanks to frequent communications with his large guide network. We were fortunate to see the big five within our first two park visits.
The accommodation, service and especially the food was outstanding. Finishing the trip at a beautiful beach resort after seeing all those amazing vistas and animals in their natural environment was a perfect ending. We highly recommend Right Choice. This definitely was the Right Choice for us since our expectations were greatly exceeded, especially for the cost.

Perfect Safari thanks to Lion King and Mwita
We just finished our safari with Lion King two days ago and flew on to Zanzibar.
Before we booked the Safari, we searched in the internet for a long time for a trustworthy Safari tour operator. We really wanted a tour operator from Tanzania and not a German travel operator. During our search we found Lion King and contacted them. We received a very professional response very quickly. The safari was put together completely individually according to our wishes. We asked a lot of questions and always got a professional answer and solution. At the end of the organization we had a safari that was perfect for us. When it comes to payment, Lion King is very trustworthy and gives many tips so that everything works smoothly.
Thanks Caroline and Pendo for the perfect organization and the patience with all my questions!!!
The perfect organization continues on the safari. We were in Tarangire NP, Arusha NP, Serengeti NP, Norongoro Caldera, Manjara NP and made a day trip to Kilimanjaro. Our guide Mwita made the safari an unforgettable experience. He was born in the Serengeti and knows everything, every animal, plant and culture. We saw more than we expected. Mwita coordinates everything and all points are flexible. He always makes suggestions which we were happy to follow. We spontaneously wanted to visit the Maasai, Mwita organized it. Mwita pays a lot of attention to nature and people. He always knows where the animals are going before they even start walking. Mwita never gave up before we found an animal we were looking for, as long as nature allows.
The organization around the safari is perfect, drinks in the car and always delicious food on the way. Entry and exit to the national parks are tied to specific times, and Mwita organized that perfectly, too.
As the name Lion King says, we saw many lions, from big to small.
We had a perfect safari.
Lion King is absolutely trustworthy, professional and reliable.
Thanks to Caroline, Pendo and Mwita!!!
You are the best, asante!

Excellent Adventure
My sister and I went to South Africa and Botswana in 2018 with Safari Ventures! It was an amazing trip and we thoroughly enjoyed our Lodges and seeing amazing wildlife in the Reserves. We wanted to go to Tanzania in 2022 so we used Safari Ventures once again. We had an amazing time and our Ranger remained with us throughout the trip to all the parks!! The Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater. We saw amazing animals and got a chance to visit a Masai Village. Our Lodging was wonderful and all our hosts were truly amazing.

Great all around package, we felt very welcome.
We couldnt ask for a better safari. James did a great job organising our Tour, including pickups, accomodation and catering. He gave us a briefing on arrival and made sure we had a great time at the end of our journey.
Our guide Omar was amazing. He knew all the best spots and we saw more animals than we could have imagined. Always funny and with great knowledge about the animals aswell. Osman took care of the food and made incredible meals, even while camping in the Serengeti.
One of the best experiences of our life and truely an adventure. Great value for the money, since the prices seemed to be more than fair compaired to other companies.

GREATEST SAFARI OF ALL TIME!
My girlfriends and I did a 4 day safari with The Soul of Tanzania. Saying it was an amazing trip is an under statement. The country of Tanzania is VERY beautiful and the people are even better. Fidelis was our guide and he is an amazingly knowledgeable individual about the national parks as well as the country of Tanzania. We were a very loud group of girls and Fidelis (our guide) was very patient and kind at all times to us. We had such a great time and we were able to see many animals from giraffes, cheetahs, lions and their cubs, elephants, and so much more! I would definitely recommend booking with The Soul of Tanzania. We never felt unsafe throughout our trip. We stayed at wonderful hotels with the most hospital staff. Thank you to The Soul Tanzania for a trip of a lifetime!

The Best Honeymoon Experience with Ker & Downey
My husband and I booked our honeymoon through Ker & Downey and it was the absolute best experience. They provided top notch service from the point of reaching out to them, to the actual experience while we were in Africa. We worked with Lauren who created a custom itinerary based on our needs. She was exceptional to work with- professional, responsive and very attentive, even getting on a call with us before the trip to walk us through the itinerary so we knew what to expect, what to pack, etc. Once we arrived everything was perfect- from the airport transfers to the incredible accommodations they had booked. We loved our tours in Cape Town and the surrounding areas with our tour guide Wayne, who was knowledgeable and again customized the tour, especially once he got to know us and what we were interested in seeing/experiencing. Laruen and the Ker & Downey team truly put a lot of thought in the overall experience as well, building an itinerary that just kept getting better. We ended the trip with safari at Londolozi, which was truly the highlight, followed by a few days in Victoria Falls. We did have a slight issue with flight delays in Victoria Falls, but the whole K&D team was there to support us via WhatsApp and helped get us a hotel in Johannesburg after we missed our connection and was ready to help us with anything we needed as we navigated missed flights home. Overall, it was the trip of a lifetime and we are so thankful to Lauren and K&D. We would definitely book with them again and recommend highly!
