Professional and friendly communication!
It was really professional communication. To be honest, it was even a little sad to part with these guys) A great meeting, a lot of necessary tips, a trained and professional driver, delicious food and a good dream - this is what awaits you if you buy a tour from these guys! Special thanks to Mohamed, thanks a friend for everything! All our problems have been resolved! Everything, everything, everything, everything, everything !!!!!
David and his team did everything they could to make sure my son and I had a successful tri
My son (with food intolerances) and I had a memorable trip visiting two game lodges in South Africa which David and his team arranged and very importantly followed through at each stage to make sure it was a success. They took time to try and find us appropriate lodges with the right qualities to keep myself, who has been on four or five safaris in the past, and my son for which this was his first, happy.

A lifetime experience for my parents
I've chosen Lion King Adventures for 4 days/3 nights safari in Northern Tanzania for my parents after reading other reviews about this company and I can confidently say that it exceeded my expectations. Since my parents don't speak English very well the company has organised a Russian speaking tour guide for them. My parents were wowed since the very beginning of the tour: when they landed, the driver was already waiting for them the airport and afterwards dropped them to their overnight hotel making sure that my parents would have breakfast prepared before they leave for safari. The whole trip was well planned, covering main parks in Norther Tanzania with the opportunity to see all the Big Five animals. I'd especially like to commend the driver Emmanuel for his amazing driving skills. Even though in some areas the roads were not the best because of rain, he managed to ensure safe and comfortable traveling experience for my parents. Also, I'd like to thank Peter for being such an attentive, knowledgeable and entertaining guide. He made sure that my parents will get the best of all the game drives, they even managed to spot a leopard resting on the tree one day which is a very rare occurrence. Also, since he was speaking Russian he made sure with the hotels that my parents would be well looked after. I'm so grateful for both Emmanuel and Peter, and for Lion King Adventures' team for looking after my parents and making sure they will have a memorable experience for years to come.

Journey of our lifetime
We want to say thank you very much for this journey. It was incredible and every day another highlight was waiting for us. The accommodations were perfect only the first Maries Royal Hotel in Kampala isn't acceptable. Very noisy and bad view. The company should change it.
If you want to book your vacation with Africa Adventure Vacation ask for Frank as your guide!! He was it who made the journey to best trip we had in our lifetime. He knows so many things about country, people and at least the wildlife. He made it possible that we could take perfect pictures and we saw an leopard!!
Thanks for everything and we will come back.

Great Experience with Safaris
Freka African Holidays made our trip amazing and we'll never forget. Our tour guide was very intelligent he took us to the Rhino Sanctuary and continued towards the Murchison Falls National Park where we spent much time at the lodge, they provided us excellent accommodation with tasty dishes and very helpful staff. Then we headed towards the Elizabeth national Park with a break. The staff there was also very helpful as well, and the dinner we taken was amazing at the first place we stayed. Our guide was very magnificent with knowledge and very friendly behaviour. I highly recommends Freka African Holidays. Thank you so much for your great help and support...

Amazing experience
Noel organized our safari, he was really nice and helped with everything we needed. We had a great time. We saw all big 5, the safari was very informative and above our expectations. We were told interesting facts about the animals we saw. Also during the safari we watched the most wonderful sunrise, everything was well organized and thoroughly planned, food was good and we felt at safety all the time. Thank you for everything and good luck!

In general all good, but sometimes a bit disorganized
We had really great safari and this is achievement on our guide!
Moses (https://www.facebook.com/moses.nnko.50) is really great guy, excellent driver, honest person and just very positive person. He made our trip, he knows where to find animals and how to get to them. It's not his bad but couple times because payments were not complete, we were waiting for an hour or so in front of the gates into national parks.
Organization before trip were a bit un organized as well, for example we were trying to get hotels conformations for a month (one month took us to get conformations from the hotels). With one camp we found the wrong dates and highlight this. in the end when we came to the camp nobody was there and we were needed to go to another camp. Thanks again to Moses (our guide) he was able to sort this out

Outstanding, definitely book with Karibu! Can even cater to vegans!
My girlfriend and myself went on two tours organised by Karibu Safaris.
The first was a 3-day 2-night tour to Maasai Mara for safari. Our guide Gibson was exceptional, knowledgeable about the national park and very organised. We were picked up and dropped off on time and our experience exceeded expectations not to mention the great wildlife we got to see.
Next we did a 4-day/3-night hike up Mount Kenya. My girlfriend and myself were the only ones in the group and we were accompanied by a team of four including two porters, a chef and a guide. We had two guides as they changed due to another traveller on a different day having some issues which they appeared to handle professionally and efficiently. Both our guides Jimmy and Sam were tremendous and really were vital in us getting to the summit safely. Neither of us are experienced hikers, and my girlfriend was experiencing high altitude for the first time but both guides were patient, calm and really helped us out.
Also worth noting that we are both vegan and when we asked them at the start of each trip (both Maasai Mara and Mount Kenya) to not serve us meat/fish/dairy/eggs/honey etc they had no issues at all and the food we received was amazing. Stevie was the chef on the hike and did a great job making a variety of vegan food for us.
We are so grateful to have gone with Karibu Safaris and would recommend any others to do the same.

Review about Tsavo West National Park by Family Hansson
The nature was beautiful but very bushy which made the animals harder to spot.

Review about Tsavo East National Park by Family Hansson
Beautiful nature with not too much bushes so that animals were easy to spot even from a distance.
