Extremely easy to work with and obtain information.
My wife and I did an 8 day Safari in the northern part of Tanzania. Our guide and driver, Yusuph, was exceptional. He was always ready to help in any way. He knew where the animals would usually be and made out trip a memorable one. The lodges chosen by Lion King were each incredibly beautiful and comfortable, with stunning views. The information provided by Rose and Godwin at Lion King provided all of the answers we needed to proceed on this great adventure. If you're considering a Safari tour in Tanzania, you could not find a better company, or better people with whom to do business. We had an experience of which we will never forget. Do it. Call Lion King and have an experience of a lifetime.

A well organized tour for an unforgettable experience!
A wonderful safari through Tsavo East, Ambosseli and Tsavo West.
Incredible landascapes, al lot of wild animals very close to you and a nice staying in the lodge.
Our guide was friendly, and with an incredible view to discover animals (even when driving).
I enjoyed my journey and my friends too.
Definitely an experience to be recommended!

Knowledgeable and Friendly
We spent 6 days with King Solomon, who was friendly and good company. It’s clear that he is well connected with the parks and other guides which meant that he often knew what wildlife had been seen recently and where.
His knowledge of the parks is fantastic and he has a super-human eye for spotting things you otherwise would miss.
We had a great time and found King Solomon to be really funny and knowledgable. Would definitely highly recommend.

Both Nairobi and the Wildlife Reserves are beautiful and fantastic.
We live in The Netherlands. My 21 year old son and I (father) went for two weeks, 1 week in Nairobi and the 2nd on Safari, to see 3 wildlife reserves. The people in Nairobi were very welcoming and very nice. In our hotel and everywhere else, everyone was very helpful. The city is beautiful and interesting.
The reserves were everything we were hoping for and more, especially Masai Mora. We had a very good driver / guide for our safari, which makes all the difference. Really fantastic to see the animals. Accommodations in Nairobi and during safari were all excellent. Food is good, and service is excellent. There is absolutely nothing I could say about our shared experience in Kenya - a real opportunity for some good ole father-son bonding - which would be less than laudatory. I intend to return soon!

Fantastic experience and unforgettable!
Went with Colours of Africa on a special private trip which started in Arusha. From there we went to the Serengeti and camped there for one night and saw two of the big one. It was a bit airy to know that the eyes we saw in the night at the camping place were hyenas! From there we went and camped on the Ngorogoro crater edge saw Elephants next to the campsite. Next day we went to the crater and what a feast seeing Lion family, antilopes, hyenas swimming, buffalos, hippo family and etc etc so many animal and birds! In the afterthought we should maybe had at least two extra days in these two places! But we got lucky and saw so many of the native animals in these places birds, mammals, reptiles and insects. From there we went to Arusha again and stayed one night there! Visited a Massai village on the way to Arusha and I would recommend that everybody should visit one! From Arusha we went to Materuni village and the highlight was getting coffee made in front of us i.e. from bean to cup and getting a meal served by local people.
From Arusha we went to Kigoma to visit Gombe national park! It is a privilege to be allowed to stay at the same place and Jane Godall did her studies on the chimpanzees! Saw a lot of them and baboons and it is strange to have them walking only arms length from you! We stayed there for 2 nights and what a experience!
From there we went to Zanzibar and stayed 3 days!
Got lot of pictures i.e. more than 4000!
The Guides and chefs were exceptional! Highly recommendable company!

Incredible nature and wildlife
Our trip to Kenya with my husband and 3 children (15,13,11) exceeded every expectation. The safari was amazing, we saw every animal up close. Our guide was brilliant and our accommodation was fabulous.
I can't recommend it highly enough.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Joe Goldiamond
Beautiful place, though sparse in animals when compared to the Masai Mara. Great for elephants. Alas, turning partially into desert.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Joe Goldiamond
Beautiful, especially for birds around the lake. But the lake appears to be drying up.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Joe Goldiamond
Really excellent. It spoiled us when we got to the two other reserves. Exactly how one imagines Kenya.

Review about Gombe National Park by Gunnar B. Ólason
Meeting chimpanzees in their natural environment and be allowed to be there is beyond words. Not only that having access and being guided by the rangers, researchers, scouts and private guide is something which makes this experience out of this world! Having all this people with all this knowledge makes this an experience I and my family will newer forget!
