The best safari experience ever!
WOW just WOW! If we could leave 10 stars we would most certainly do this!
From the moment we arrived in Nairobi, Noah was waiting for us outside the airport even while it was around midnight. We were brought to our hotel (overnight stay) where we got an update by Noah about our upcoming safari. The next day we were picked up at the hotel to get our flight from Wilson to the Masai Mara. When we arrived in the Mara, Dennis was already waiting there to welcome us, boy oh boy what an amazing guide he is! He is so passionate about wildlife, nature, the environment! Just the way we love it AND the way all guides should be! Like we told Dennis on our last evening this was an A++++++++++++++ safari experience! Our safari was more then we could have asked for or have dreamed of!
Everything that was written and promised by Noah in the itinerary became true! A real dream safari/holiday!
Truly if you are planning to go on a safari, just book your dream safari experience with Wildebeest Safaris Ltd. You will not regret it for a second!

Great safari experience
We booked a week with Gosheni Safaris and Fidelis as our guide and were very satisfied. We had an incredibly nice time. Fidelis is a nice guy and a very good driver and guide. He was able to tell us a lot of exciting info about the wildlife. We can recommend the tour to everyone!

It was a great safari
Was fantastic experience! I did the camping because I wanted to have the full adventure experience. We drove a long way the first day, but we still saw a bunch of stuff including a leopard along the way. Second day was in serengeti. Amazing place! Saw the big five by lunchtime, though the rhino was a long ways away. Watched a lion going after a little gazelle who had just freed himself from the mud right by our truck and a ton of real world interaction. Not like the zoo at all!
The third day we spent in ngorongoro crater. They had a ton of wildebeest and zebra and we saw them all interacting with each other and the predators as well. There were three lions defending a kill from jackals by the side of the road, and we watched some hyenas unsuccessfully hunt some zebras nearby.
The fourth day we went to ngirengiri or however you spell it lol. Not as good, but still saw a lot of elephants and giraffes with their babies up close. Probably the closest of the three parks. And the animals were much more vocal in this park.
The guide Ndalu was very knowledgeable and funny. The chef Don was shockingly good. I really think those of us who camped economy ate better than the two people in our party who stayed at the fancier campus. Really, really good dinners. I didn't even want breakfast in the morning, but I ate it anyway lol
Just a good time. Emanuel and Noel are great guys and I expect them to be one of the more successful tour companies in the near future. Emanuel actually drove all the way out to moshi from arusha to pick me up and drop me off. What kind of business owners do that?? -Peter

Exceptional service
From landing in Entebbe until we reluctantly returned to our plane EAD provided everything we needed.
Their attention to detail was incredible and every hurdle we encountered our guide (Emmy) found a solution.
The many lodges we stayed at as we traveled around were excellent quality (having stayed in some less than comfortable ones on previous visits), the food on offer was plentiful and good value ( they catered well for the veggie and vegan we had in our group).
The game drives were exciting and rewarding and this is where a professional guide comes to the fore, as we would have missed so much had it not been for Emmy ( especially the Leopard he spotted in a tree).
Can’t recommend EAD highly enough, Ben in England and Richard in Uganda were always available to help and brokered a superb value bespoke trip for us that was memorable and life changing for our whole group.

A wonderful Tanzania safari experience
We went on a five day safari organized by Edgar from Jiwe adventures. We visited three parks in the north of Tanzania which are Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with two nights in Serengeti. It was truly a wonderful safari full of fun and surprises at every turn. We had a very good guide (Nick) who is professional and loves his job, he has often told us that you have come here to enjoy your time and be happy, so when I see you happy, I feel proud. The lodges that Edgar chose for us while on the safari were beautiful with different styles and very good service. We had a nice safari vehicle with a top opening so we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We were lucky twice to see a lion hunting and killing a zebra at serengeti and a buffalo at Ngorongoro, it was a very amazing experience and I will never forget it. When we got back to the hotel, Edgar came to meet us and we went for dinner together. In fact, he is a very good person who listens and cares.
I highly recommend Jiwe adventures for anyone looking for the best safari experience in Tanzania.

One stop safari company who handles every detail and exceeds every expectation.
When we decided to take a once in a lifetime Safari trip to Africa, we were a bit hesitant with planning things on our own. We did not personally know anyone who had taken such a trip and so we were flying blind. However, when using the internet search tools I trust, Lion King Adventures came up time and time again with glowing reviews. I initially reached out to a couple of tour companies in Tanzania and Lion King was both prompt and thorough in their responses. We began our planning with them in November of 2021 and they assisted us every step of the way, allowing us to modify the length of our trip and add excursions as we went. I never felt pressured they were trying to upsell us, they truly allowed us to dictate what our vacation would look like and focused on our needs as a family. We ended up on an eight day safari which more than exceeded our expectations in every way. Every Lion King representative treated us so well, with such kindness and grace. The accommodations were all straight out of a travel magazines, allowing for both the tented glamping experience as well as secluded luxury hotels. As good as that all was, our guide Gilbert made the experience for us. He was professional, gracious, tolerant of our desire to sometimes change course midstream and he was THE best animal spotter. We saw more varieties of animals, more volume of each species, and more up close views than we ever anticipated. There were many times Gilbert would hear of a sighting of a rare animal like a leopard or cheetah and turn our Land Rover on a dime to get to the spot so we wouldn’t miss an opportunity. Gilbert’s knowledge of each park and where to find the animals allowed us to maximize our time. The crossing of the Wildebeest at the River Mara was a highlight and he positioned and waited and anticipated the migration so well we literally had a front row seat for thousands crossing.. Although we were in Tanzania during their busiest season we always felt well taken care of and were never forced to wait or waste time. Our guide took care of everything from checking us in to each hotel, to helping us negotiate with the locals for souvenirs . We cannot recommend Lion
King Adventures strongly enough….and Gilbert is the man if you are looking for a great experienced guide who can give you a once in a lifetime African Safari experience.

Fantastic!! Very friendly, reliable operator, excellent service.
Serengeti Smile offered us a tour exactly what we wanted, in 5 days we visited, Tarangire NP, 2 days Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and also Lake Manyara. The contact with Serengeti Smile outstanding! The accommodation during our Safari was perfect, clean, big rooms, good food and good service. We loved the Kontik Serengeti Camp, that one was great.
Our driver was very friendly, he has humor, during the Safari every time he found a good place, between all those other jeeps, to see the animals. The jeep was clean and comfortable. We had 5 fantastic days.

Best agency when it comes to flexibility, reliability and fun!
We booked a 5-days safari with African Big Cats Safaris and visited Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire.
Our guide Obedi was the best guide you can find. He's a biologist, rally driver and excellent human being on top. Thanks to him (and the portion of luck that's always needed) we managed to see all kinds of animals.
The agency will provide you with everything you need. From water, sodas to local beers and wine. All accommodations were according to our needs and requests. The jeep was extremely well maintained, clean, very reliable and managed every obstacle.
The company adjusted to our wishes fully. Our guide was always on time and extremely helpful. The communication was fast and solution oriented. Everything went according to our itinerary and we leave with precious and unforgettable memories from this beautiful country, it's people and fauna.

Excellent value for money!
They are patient and put the clients satisfactory first.
The Mombasa trip was just top notch. Richard and the team made sure we had the best time of our lives. All I had in mind was visiting various historical sites and the beach but this crew decided to surprise us with the yatch ride. It was just amazing. I love the fact that they gave us more than what we had paid for. We were hard to deal with at some point but they were patient with us and gave us that sense of safety. Planning for another vacation with them in December. Super eagles is now my second home. Thank you giving us the best!
