Lion King Adventure and our guide Gilbert gave me a fantastic time in Tanzania.
Lion King Adventure was a perfect experience from day one and til we finished our safari. They answered all my questions before we came and kept us informed. When we arrived in Tanzania we were met at the airport by a very nice man and from there on out everything was fantastic. Our guide Gilbert met us the next morning, he went through our program for the next 4 days, what we could expect to see etc etc. The game drives was incredible, Gilbert made sure we saw all the big 5 and also the ugly 5. He was very observant, understood when we wanted to stop, or stay and just look at the animals. Imagine 3 half old ladies trying to see where he was pointing...he was so patient.
Lion King Adventure had great cars, good quality seats and lots of water, soda or beer and wine for us ladies. We were given warm lunsj every day, delicious, with warm vegetables, different stews and fresh fruits and cold drinks.
I loved all the game drives, I did not expect to see so much beautiful nature and so many animals and birds.
The hotels Lion King Adventures had picked out was also very nice, my favorite was Emalakai, waking up to the elephant roar and the hippo grassing next to the tent, the staff singing for us...they gave me a memory I will remember for ever.
I will come back, and will use Lion King Adventure again. Thank you all for making my trip the best ever, and a special thanks to our wonderful guide Gilbert and the Massai warrior at Embalakai for the fantastic story.

Kilmanaro Conquered - KilmanjaroBound Ltd - Effective and efficient - The Best
I cant thank KilimanjaroBound Ltd enough to be able to say I conquered both Mount Meru, January 5th, 2023 and Mount Kilimanjaro, January 15th, 2023 via The Lemosho 8 day route, with my best friend Dougal.
The "Dream Team" lead by Aggrey and Benson, both very experienced guides, with their support team, Chief Stomach enginneer, Edwardo, Kennedy, Marco, Samson, Arthur, Osca, Bruce, Reho, Eliapenda and Godispell. (12 in total for our private group of 2). All who are either related or friends of friends from the local village of Marangu work supebly as a united team. Much laughter and songsand smiles all the way, with so much knowledge of the fauna and animals....and of course the obilgatory tears when I reached the summit..Aggrey,s whispered "you,re doing good, your,re looking fine" and confidence I would make it will be remembered always.
Samson Lauwo, of Kilimanjarobound Ltd whose lineage goes back to the first ever summit, has a product /service that is effective and efficient. 5 Stars. we were spolit by being taken to their home village as well where the "Watford" links were sealed and the Dreamteam took on board as our climbing moto. You need look no further for a support organisation if you are to take on the challenge of Kibo.

Amazing, attention to detail, very professional, knowledgeable, informative!!!!
Africa Marvel Tours did an amazing job with communication and attention to detail. They were prompt and on-time. Their service was top-notch and their driver (Joe) was incredibly knowledgeable of the Masai Mara and animals we saw. If you want a fun tour guide/driver, make sure you ask for Joe - he was great. He allowed us all the time we wanted for pictures and answered all our questions. He provided a detailed itinerary each day but allowed us to make any changes we wanted to ensure we had the safari of a lifetime. The tent camp we stayed at (Enkorok) was very inviting, the food was delicious, and the pool was an added bonus. The views were breathtaking when you sat out on the porch of your tent. Africa Marvel Tours is 5 STARS and we would highly recommend them. We have had previous safari trips with other companies and Africa Marvel Tours far exceeds other tour companies in value, safety, communication, and professionalism. Well worth the money spent - you won't be disappointed. Any future safari trips will be booked through Africa Marvel Tours! Great job!!!

I booked my Kenya 6 day safari using Jong after looking at multiple reviews in TripAdvisor and safari booking websites. Initially I was a bit reluctant as Jong was not based in the UK.
But soon, I realised that Jong was an amazing person and was very responsive to all my queries responding in great detail. He was very detailed in is itinerary and also very helpful in the instructions for applying for Visa.
I had to make last minute changes to my trip and Jong was very helpful in updating my travel itinerary.
Once I landed in Kenya, everything went so smoothly – getting picked up, the drivers/guides were very friendly, the places he booked were awesome. The staff in these places were extremely friendly and very knowledgeable.
It was one of my most memorable trips and I will definitely recommend Jong and also use him for any future safari bookings.
Seven Star service!

The best service & hospitality we have had anywhere in the world
Omari!
Mzuri sana! You are the tazanite of Tanzania because you’re such a gem(from Erin). We know that it is not an easy job to be a tour guide, driver and friend all at once but you did it all with grace.
- We were very impressed with your driving and we felt safe the whole time.
- We very much appreciated that you were checking in with us all the time about needing bathrooms or being comfortable in the vehicle.
- We really appreciated that you always paid attention to which animals we said we liked and wanted to see. You always went above and beyond trying to find them for us, such as searching for giraffes and arranging our walking Safari in Ngorongoro specifically so we might see them (and we did!)
- We were very impressed when we came off of our flight that you were the very first person holding a sign with our names!
- You were very accommodating and we liked that you always asked us what time we would like to start the next day
All of this shows your professionalism and 16 years experience!
But most of all we felt very welcome in your country. We loved getting to know you and learning about your life. You are extremely knowledgeable about animals and the history of Tanzania. Your jokes always put a smile on our faces and we will keep practicing our Swahili!
We already miss you and cannot wait to be back again. Asante sana, nimefurhrai kikuana nawe!
Sunset Adventure Safaris
Emma thank you for your clear and fast communication. We felt very confident in booking and we appreciated your flexibility in customizing our itinerary!
Also we want to thank you for noticing our arriving flight was into JRO and not ARK. We also know that it was an extra drive for Omari so thank you.
We highly recommend sunset adventure. Our expectations were so far exceeded. Asante sana Emma the team.

The guide was really friendly and always attentive.
The trip was worth the money and I would always book a tour at paul motto tours.
Only one advise, please change the lunch box at the safaris.
It has nothing to do with the tour agency but please tell the lodges, that a chicken is not the right food for the bush.
Other than that, the tour was impressive and informative.

Thank you for making our trip unforgettable
Communication with Jong is excellent. He helped us design a perfect custom safari according to our interests (Thanks Jong!). The trip consisted of a tour of the city of Nairobi with Richard, a very kind and patient guide. He took us to the Giraffe center and to eat delicious local food (Thank you Richard for all your attention!). Later 6 days of Safari through Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara with our guide Francis, who is a very experienced, patient and pleasant guide. Francis was concerned at all times that we were enjoying and doing interesting activities, which made the difference to us on the trip because we saw from lionesses hunting to hippo fights with crocodiles. Francis consented to practically all our desires to meet animals, people, places, artistic photos and shops to buy handicrafts (Francis, we miss you. Thank you very much for everything. We are waiting for you in Mexico!). During the safari we visited a Masai village (and even played soccer with them) and took a walk through the Masai Mara with some members of the Masai tribe who take care of the camp (Loyk Mara Camp). This ride turned out to be one of the most exciting moments of the entire trip. We totally recommend Sino Safaris, satisfaction guarantee!
Our recommendations based on our experience:
- Take a lot of change for tips (i.e. 5 USD bills)
- Loyk Mara Camp is highly recommended because you are practically inside the Masai Mara and the attention is unbeatable
- We know that there are many other parks to visit, but the journeys between parks and parks are long (6-7 hours by car). We decided not to spend so much time in the car and sacrifice other places to enjoy more.
- Stopping at Lake Naivasha is well worth it. More if it is at the beginning of the route. If you come back, it may not be so interesting anymore because you will have already seen many animals. This is the only place where we were able to boat with hippos, watch osprey hunt and go on safari on foot (because there are no predators).
- Visit a Masai village
- Try Tusker beer ;-)
