Exceeded our expectations!
We loved our Duma Explorer trip! I traveled with my 28-year old daughter and her fiancé. I heard about Stacy and Duma Explorer from a friend in Rwanda, and I was really impressed with Stacy's 20-year experience in Tanzania and with her commitment to support her Tanzanian team. I like supporting in-country businesses vs. large international ones. Stacy was super responsive to our requests to pack in a lot in five days and to spend less on accommodations (which were all very good with great food and outstanding staff). We hit the jackpot with our driver/guide, Isack, who was absolutely phenomenal. He is a master guide, an encyclopedia of wildlife, and was able to identify every bird and animal we saw. Plus, he is a great spotter! He spotted a rhino on the horizon, and we couldn't believe it, but we take a blurry photo through the binoculars, and it confirmed it was a rhino. I also saw how all the other drivers/guides respected his leadership/expertise. He met our appetite for long days but without causing stress or over-doing it. He is a great driver and a fabulous storyteller. His passion and enthusiasm were contagious. I can't say enough good things about him and our experience. Bottom line: I highly recommend Duma Explorer!

Incredible safari and sightseeing experience
We had an excellent two day safari and sight seeing experience with Netto. Would highly recommend the Blyde River Canyon and Kruger safari experience - after a busy first day we had a delicious dinner waiting for us at the campsite. The full day tour was incredible and after everything we were dropped off at our hotel - thanks for such an unforgettable experience!

La nature en grand
We traveled for 5 days with this local tour operator. We enjoyed nature in a big way, everything we expected happened, the herds of elephants, lions, leopards and even a hyena at breakfast skirting our camp.
What to say about safaris in Tanzania starts with a general impression, people are kind, smiling, welcoming.
On safari companies there are a large number of them and I think all tourists are happy.
this was our case, we had hotels and luxury tent camps of great qualities, a friendly driver.
We will undoubtedly return, because it is impossible to get tired of this landscape. an important detail however: the roads are very bad in the Ngorongoro and the serengeti, if by case you prefer the back in kit .... think about it. For the rest ...GO

Our highest recommendations for Lionkingadventures and our guide Saleh
Highest recommendation for Lionkingadventures and our guide Salehe
We booked a 6 day luxury safari with Lionkingadventures in November 2022. Our guide was Salehe.
The tour included Tarangine NP, Lake Manyara NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti.
This was our first trip to Tanzania and we are happy we chose this company. Everything was so well organised by the company and the guide so we felt safe and welcommed at any time of the trip.
COMMUNICATION
The communication with Rose and Edward from the administration worked very good with short responsetime and even when we changed the flight time and airport of arrival they quickly adapted the arrangeres pick up.
To book the trip you have to transfer the cost of the trip to the company. Initially our bank blocked the transfer, but then Edward provided us with alternative ways to transfer and the it worked perfectly
VALUE
We payed about 5.700 USD for the trip for two persons and it was definately wort it.
By booking directly with Lionkingadventures saved us about 25% compared to booking via a travel agency in Norway.
If you have the possibility to book in “Luxury” class then it is woth it. Especially the Hotel Melia Serengeti was amazing.
ARRIVAL
We arrived at the Kilimanjaro airport and was greeted by a guide who drove ud to The Melia Hotel in Arusha for the first night. A very comfortable stay after a long flight.
DEPARTURE
On the last day Salehe dropped us of in Arusha Airport in perfect time for our next flight to Zanzibar
THE GUIDE SALEHE
On the second day we met our fantastic guide Salehe who was with us for the rest next five days.
He made the trip an amazing experience for us. He was eminent at the game drive in finding the animals and positioning us for the best sightings were we could be close to the animals.
He has a huge knowledge of both the flora and the fauna and we learned so much from him.
He also told us a about Tanzania and some local phrases which were very helpfull on our ongoing jouney in Tanzania.
He keeps the car in good shape and clean. The car was filled with water, sodas and food every day and he made sure we never ran out.
If you have the possibilty to have Salehe as your guide definately go for it. He really made the trip extraordinary for us.
GAME DRIVING
Our first game drive was after a couple of hours driving in Tarangine NP were we experienced close encounters with elephants and girafs among lots of zebras and other animals. So impressive to be two meters from a huge elephant.
The next day we drove for five hours to the absolut highlight of the trip, the massive Serengeti NP. On the way you pass Masai villages and impressive views of the Ngorongoro Crater so the drive itself was and impressive experience.
In the two days of game driving in Serengeti we experienced the absolut highlight of the trip - a female lion hunting and cathing a zebra 20 meters from our car. We could follow the lion sniking in on the zebras for 30 minutes before attacking the herd. An experience we will never forget.
In the Serengeti we also saw a leopard hiding in a bush ten meters from the car as a big experience. Impressive to have eye contact with such an animal.
Apart from more sightings of lions and leopards the Serengeti also gave us impressive experiences with groups of Hippo’s, zebras, girafs, wilderbeast, and lots of other animals.

They were efficient, competent and professional
My family and I had a pleasant experience with Silvach Adventures. We travelled down to the south coast of Kenya for the Easter holidays this year and they were efficient and professional from the point of engagement till the very end of our trip. They handled all of our transfers and the different attendants that we would meet during the trip. I was especially impressed by the curated activities that were unique and fit the different age group interests. The rates offered were extremely fair especially noting that it was a high peak season in Kenya.
I am definitely looking forward to travelling with them again.

Great 3 days safari tour to Masai Mara
I had a wonderful 3days safari tour with Hyrax Safaris to Masai Mara from Nairobi. competent, reliable, safe and offering a great service. Experienced driver and very good organization. They are flexible to the needs of the customers. We missed a leopard only for few seconds, otherwise we saw all the other big fives. Another jeep from the same tour operator could see also the leopard, wonderful videos of the other tourists. I would join another tour with them.

The trip of a lifetime!
In July & August we (2 adults and a 7-year-old boy) had a marvelous time in Botswana and Zimbabwe thanks to the great effort and expertise of Kalahari Breeze Safaris! Maria and Chris aligned with us during many weeks before the trip started to get the itinerary we were looking for. Please note that especially Botswana is quite exclusive and busy during their high season (July – October). This has much to do with the remoteness of the locations, the availability of roads and the lack of mass tourism. In return we got the trip of a lifetime! Kalahari Breeze Safaris made suggestions on our wishes and also managed our expectations well on travelling circumstances. Eventually we did wild camping in Moremi, stayed in a wonderful location in the Okavango Delta, had the time of our lives in the beautiful Savute area, and visited the unforgettable Victor Falls. The kindness of the people we met is unmatchable. If you ever dreamed of visiting the real Africa please consult Kalahari Breeze Safaris!
