Very well organized!
We were a group of 4 and were planning our trip to Tanzania for a couple of month in advance. We found 3 Safari trip vendors, which we were considering and comparing. The Lion Kind Adventures was selected pretty fast as a final vendor to be booked and for us seemed to be the best choice!
And we were completely satisfied with the services provided! Especially during the pre-trip planning. Pendo (our manager) was very professional and she helped us with very single question we asked. She was also recommending the best options (as were thinking to take less days) and eventually 5 day safari (instead of 4) is definitely the best time frame for such trip if you wish to see 3 main parks!
Gilbert - our guide was very friendly! What i like the most is that he was driving very safely!

Awesome experience!
Going on this trip was one of the best decisions i ever made =) everything was great - from the email-correspondence with the manager before the trip, to the very end of the safari. We enjoyed the ccommodations and routes (we've been to lake Manyara, Ngorongoro conservation area and Serengeti) a lot; and special thanks to Gilbert, the guide, for being super welcoming, friendly and professional.
Definitely recommend going on a safari at least once, it's worth it)

Very good care before and during the trip
If it is the first time for someone to travel to Tanzania you do not know what to expect. Tanzania Specialist helps you fully on what you have to pay attention to before the trip. Once you have arrived in the country, a full service is organized as booked. You never have to worry about your own safety.

Extremely good value and great fun!! Very Professional
I just have to thank Wild Jungle trails, For the best tour out there. If you ever wanna see the best of safari i highly recommend to always ask for Twaha! We were in Murchison Falls, for the 3 day safari, and he was nothing but helpful, skilled and kind. Hes English is perfect and by far the best from all other guides that were with us. Knowledge and explaining of every animal and other cultural stuff was top notch. And i gotta mention hes driving skills, we saw my favorite (Giraffe) lions and lots of Elephants with mini van we were very comfortable. He's skills to catch and see animals is amazing. I'm just gonna say that there were 2-3 other guides that were just following him lead and advises.
I can not Recommend Wild jungle trails "Top Notch"

Mattaw Safaris is the absolute best! We had an incredible 3 days with Bud and Steve seeing the Maasai Mara. The experience was top-notch and I don't think anyone could do anymore with customer service. The trip beat our expectations and will be an incredible memory for the rest of our lives. It became very clear on the first day that Steve, our guide, knew so much more than the other guides/drivers in the park because we were often first to many different sightings of animals and he knew exactly where they might be headed next. Bud and Steve were a joy to be with throughout the trip and the laughter the four of us shared came out of a shared passion for environment and life! We did a 3 day trip and just stayed in the Maasai Mara, but they can set up everything for you from transportation to lodging and for as many days as you want. The Zebra Plains Mara Camp we stayed at was stunning and in a great location for our drives into the Mara. If we ever get back to Kenya, we will be calling them and in the meantime, telling everyone we know to check them out. Their heart, their story and the experience is inspirational!

Amazing Family Experience!!! Awesome Safari Staff!!!
This was our first time in Kenya (and in the continent) and since the beginning Bud was very knowledgeable and helpful with all our questions, always straightforward giving us the confidence we needed to finally make a decision to go to Africa.
All the safaris were amazing, we all (me, my wife and 2 kids) were very happy enjoying the safaris and always felt safe.
Our tour guide & driver, Charles, was great!! We always were talking about animals and the beautiful people of Kenya...and even learn to speak some Swahili :)
Thank You Very Much Mattaw Safaris for given us an amazing once in a lifetime experience!!!

Unforgettable experience!
Our safari was an amazing experience!
Our driver was Evans, he picked us up from our place in Nairobi. We got to Masai Mara around 3.30 PM, we put our bags in our tent (which had a separate toilet and shower) and went for an evening drive in the park. On the very first day we saw lions, giraffes, cheetahs, buffalos, zebras, Thomson gazelles, and hippos.
On the second day we got up very early, and after our breakfast we went for a whole-day-long game drive in the park (at 7 AM we were already watching cheetahs). We saw lions from only a few metres which was amazing. We also saw elephants, leopards, ostrich, and so many more.
Evans is a fantastic driver, who knows a lot about animals, and could tell us interesting facts about them. He was very friendly all along. He did everything he could to make this trip unforgettable.
On the last day we got up very early and left to visit Naivasha lake which we requested in advance, and we took a 1-hour long boatride (30USD/person, optional, not included in price). The lake is beautiful, and we could see hippos and a lot of birds. After lunch we went to Hell's Gate National Park, ticket was included in the safari price. We rented bikes (10USD/bike, optional, not included) and we were cycling in the park where were giraffes, zebras and buffalos around us. It was very beautiful.
We saw pictures about the canyon in the park, but guards there told us it would cost and extra 20USD to go there (short trip, longer was 40), which was very frustrating because we already paid the price for the ticket and it felt like an extra ripoff (it is on the park, not the whole safari). We were already cycling 6km-s, but we just turned around.
First day lunch, dinner, second day: breakfast, lunch (picknick), dinner, 3rd day breakfast, lunch, and bottled water for every day was in the price. I am vegan, and I had quite a few options. I was always full after the meals.
We paid 400USD for the whole trip/person. I booked it via email with Jockey Tours. It was totally worth it, I loved every minute of it!
