Great guide, but improve city driving, vehicle condition, and dietary requirement handling.
I would like to express my gratitude for the exceptional experience provided by our safari guide. His expertise and keen eye were evident as he spotted most animals before any of us did, all while driving. His ability to navigate and provide insightful commentary greatly enhanced our safari experience.
However, there are a few areas where improvements could be made. The drive through the city felt quite fast and aggressive at times, which made me a bit anxious about the possibility of a collision. A more relaxed driving pace would contribute to a safer and more comfortable experience for passengers.
The safari vehicle itself felt somewhat old and worn. Specifically, the door handle on my side was not functioning, making it impossible to open the door from inside the vehicle. Additionally, I was unable to open my window, which detracted from the overall comfort and enjoyment of the safari.
Moreover, despite emailing and confirming our dietary requirements in advance, there was an issue with my son's meal. He has an egg allergy, yet he received a meal containing eggs and had to rely on snacks and medication as a result. After bringing this to the driver's attention, all subsequent meals were accurate and met our needs. I appreciate the prompt resolution but believe that more attention to dietary requirements from the start would prevent such issues.
In conclusion, while the safari guide's expertise and the overall experience were commendable, addressing these areas would significantly enhance the quality of service. Thank you for considering this feedback.

Good experience overall
We had a nice safari and were lucky to spot a lot of wild animals, especially in Ngorongoro crater. The jeeps are very well equipped and comfortable.
We've been quite disappointed by our guide, expecting at the end a higher tip than what we planned and "ruining" the friendly atmosphere... Lunch boxes in the safari are also a bit repetitive - plain rice, chicken and a sauce.

friendly organizer, everything well organized
Our guide was very friendly and helpful. On our tour I thought it was a shame that we had to pay the entrance fee to the Vic Falls because the tour already had a high price (but this was described in the document) The safari was very nice. we were able to take enough time to observe the animals. Overall, the tour was incredibly beautiful.

Review about Tarangire National Park by Andreas Fritz
We particularly liked Tarangire because of the elephants. But the other wildlife is also impressive.

Review about Etosha National Park by Roger
Terrible ‘roads’; bit hit or miss what may turn up at the waterholes. Would have liked the guide to show more interest in the birds

great safari in Tanzania & great relaxation in Zanzibar
Elephants, giraffes, lions, hippos, buffaloes, hyenas and many other animals in the immediate vicinity and then the great bungalow in the Reef & Beach Resort on Zanzibar - simply wonderful!
Many thanks to the service staff and the safari guides!

A good mix between professionalism and friendliness!
To plan a trip to Kilimandscharo is no easy job! From Visa, to Lodge rooms, sleeping bags and food, a lot has to be prepared. Magnus proved very helpful in the preparation and we always felt like we were in very good hands with him until the very end where he organised the shuttle to the airport. The trip itself was flawless everything was well planed but Magnus, Ayubu and the team always left space for spontaneity, i.e. when we wanted to change our breakfast routine. At the mountain we always felt safe and were sure that everything was under control. Overall it was a very good, professional and friendly experience with miles to smile. The only thing that hurts my heart a bit is to see such a nice place so full of tourists but even that was handled well by Magnus and the team by setting up the tent at the edges of the camp or leaving at irregular times in order to be a bit more alone.

Great on ground support from Apodiformes - we had a wonderful experience
The tour was well curated & Fredrick our operator, made sure it was customized to accomodate our requirements. Our guides were well trained & went the ecxtra mile to ensure we had great sightings. Accomodation & meals were comfortable & we enjoyed a special sundowner in the bush. The travel to Mombasa required travel at odd hours & was quite a long train journey, but we signed up for it for the beautiful beach views! Overall I'd highly recommed this operator as they are always available to support & deliver as per plan.

Great opportunity to visit Rwanda ´ à la carte ’. Great attention to your areas of interest.
Enjoyed contacts in villages along the way too. Alot of interesting things to see from mud bricks to yam flour fabrication. Stop over in good local restaurants was a discovery too.

Fantastic experience !
I have no hesitation in recommending Lion King adventures. Our communications with the company from start to finish were excellent. Our guide, Gama, was brilliant. His knowledge of fauna and Flora was exceptional! Every question we asked he knew the answer. Gama went out of his way to make sure that we had an incredible experience and saw all of the animals we wanted to see. He was very patient and kind throughout. Our cook, Karim, was also wonderful. He cooked up delicious meals day after day with great variety. Thoroughly enjoyed eating Karin’s food. The only negative I have to say about the whole experience was the campsite in Serengeti. Unfortunately, the washroom facilities at this campsite for the women were woeful. Blocked toilets, doors to the shower and toilets which did not close, and a flooded drain in one of the two available showers. Facilities in high season are alcompletely inadequate For the numbers of campers. I realise that this campsite is not run by Lion King adventures however I feel it prudent to let people booking a future Camping Safari know about the facilities in the Serengeti. Other than this though, just want to reiterate that our six days spent with Gama and Karin on this Safari adventure of a lifetime were incredible!!
