Great experience
This was my first time on safari. Because of that I did not know much about what to expect. I wanted to experience a little bit of everything. Naturally, I decided to rely on experts - tour organizers. I found some info on the internet about the 4 -day Tremisana lodge/Marc's tent safari. Lodging option included a combination of solid wall lodge and tent accommodations, which I wanted to try. The tour operator appeared to be Viva Safaris. From the very beginning I did not have any issues with the company. All my questions were answered the same day via email by Patricia, who made all organizational issues resolved quickly and efficiently. The safari itself matched my expectations. Our guides managed to show us almost everything we could hope for. And we had a chance to see wildlife in different light conditions - we had morning, day, and night game drives, we had bush walks. One night in a tent was especially memorable - it was a windy rainy night full of sounds. It was hard to sleep while howling hyenas roamed 200 feet away from my tent, or monkeys went crazy around my tent. But that was my choice, I cannot blame organizers for sleepless night. The company can tailor accommodations according to your preferences. After all, it was a great experience, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Outstanding service, once you arrive you become part of the family
I went with my wife, that was our honeymoon, those 10 days safaris were an unforgettable experience thanks to Dav Safaris, everything was great, kindness of Boaz (our guide), reliability and contract compliance, everything was according itinerary, we had an expert guide for the whole 10 days just for us teaching us a ñot about Uganda and its wildlife. In few words, a lifetime experience!

Luxury and well organised
I absolutely loved the whole process of booking my Africa trip with Lion king adventures. From intially organising my trip with Pendo / Nickson over email, to once I'm there, with my friendly and knowledgeable guide Leonard, it all went smoothly! My driver from the airport (Tumain) was also lovely to chat too who took me from Kilimanjaro to Arusha.
Accommodation, food, vehicles were all above expectations - I was looked after like a king!
Conversation in English was never an issue with Leonard, he explained many facts on animals and the landscape, especially about the reason Serengeti is so flat and treeless! Loved my time on safari! Even saw a lioness take down a Zebra very close to where we had parked!

Trip of a life time
Safari in South Africa (Sabi Sands) was amazing. Our ranger got us close up to the animals, but also showed respect to their privacy/space.
The scenery in Cape Town and along the Garden route was lovely. Unfortunately the weather wasn't. Everyone we met were very friendly and helpful. I would certainly recommend South Africa as a travel destination (tick off the bucket list)

Amazing experience in Tanzania staying in top notch hotels
Our guide George really had the best eye (even compared to other guides).
Highly recommend staying in all the melia hotels (Arusha, Serengeti, Ngorongoro…)

Best Safari Company. Totally recommended
We had a dream safari trip to Masai Mara all arranged with Kenia Safari Arcade. Edith was great helping us solve any inquiry and fit all our needs.
We reviewed many companies before our trip and don’t retreat going with Safari Arcade. Everything exceeded our expectations. Selected hotel was perfect and game drives we so much fun.
If you are planning a trip to Africa don’t hesitate going with this company. I definitely recommend it.

Exceeded our once in a lifetime expectations
From the moment we connected with Soul of Tanzania we knew we were in good hands. Our journey designer Sandy was patient and helpful in creating our trip and finding the right accommodation. We were so spoilt by our accommodations throughout the trip, the hospitality was unforgettable.
Our safari guide, Salum, was phenomenal. Quiet and kind at first, but he proved to be knowledgeable and in the end “Mr Right Place, Right Time” who spoiled us with animal sightings.
We chose the Living with Lions safari, and it was perfect for our first time safari experience.

Kuda took us on a tour of the Falls and was superb. We would highly recommend him..
The whole experience from meeting Kuda at our hotel to the trip around the Falls and back was superb. He was very informative and took some amazing photos. A brilliant trip.

Goodluck and his team are cheerful, hard working and easily connect with their clients.
Goodluck was a fantastic guide; always cheerful, and very willing to answer questions and go the extra mile for his clients. We had a great variety of experiences. We visited with local families, stopped at several markets and were able to experience several aspects of village life. When a person in our group needed supplies for their camera, Goodluck was able to make the calls and get the needed materials delivered to us in the middle of the Serengeti. Our group was made up of people with a huge variety of interests and physical abilities, and Goodluck and his team were able to accommodate everyone. Goodluck is able to easily connect with people from all over the world, clients and people in local communities alike, which makes any tour with him special.
In addition to his ability to connect his clients to everyday life in Tanzania, he and his team know so much about the animals of Eastern Africa. I learned so much about the "pecking order" of the many vultures, and how the many animals of Eastern Africa interact with each other. I highly recommend Goodluck and his team of guides. They are truly wonderful!!
