The most helpful and courteous people you will meet, always pleasant and a very happy attitude.
The wife and I had an amazing adventure during our 4 day safari in Tanzania. The Big 5 were all spotted by the amazing sharp eyes of our guide and friend Lucas. He was so patient and good natured, chatting and openly communicating with us as we wandered through the endless grass plains spotting Cheetah, Leopards, Lions, Hyenas and all the other game animals. The first day we saw herds of Elephant in Tarangire and the last day in the crater we saw a Rhinoceros grazing. Perfect job well done by the team of Sandpiper Safaris.
We spotted all sorts of birds and creatures great and small, Lucas new every one of them, it was like having a young David Attenborough on the journey with you to give you loads of information about the animals, birds, terrain, environment and eating habits of everything.
Truly a most wonderful and amazing adventure.
Thank you Mr. Abouh, Mr. Lucas and Mr. Gasto. We had a fantastic adventure and its all because of your help.

Simply amazing!!!
Choosing Lion King Adventures was the best thing! We recommend it very highly. From the planning to the end of the safari everything worked so well. The office staff replied very fast to all our questions.
Our guide Huruma is a gem! He is so passionate and talented in spotting the animals from far (without binoculars). A real eagle eye.
We felt safe all through our adventure, and he is a great driver too. He is also ethically the kind of guide we appreciate. He does not harrash the wildilfe and he does not waste food. The untouched food from lunch, that we could not finish (hot lunch, which was always very good and served on plates at the picnic areas with wine and beer if you want), was always given to the people working at the national parks (eg.toilets). These are the kind of little things that matter to us a lot!
We had some issues with our health; I am very bad with heat and my spouse had some stomach problems, and Huruma was so kind and understanding with our special needs. Always found a restroom when needed (the restrooms in the parks are good btw.) and turned the ac on in the jeep, when the roof was down, so I could tolerate the heat better. Drinks in the jeep's fridge were always cold which made my life with the heat a lot easier.
Jeep was always so clean in the morning eventhou after the safari day it was covered in dust.
The advantage of taking a private jeep, is that you can really tailor your own adventure. Huruma was very flexible when we wanted to change some plans due to our health issues and we also trusted him making some changes of plans based on his knowledge. Eg.instead of heading straight to Central Serengeti, we did a detour to southern Serengeti and that ended up being a great call.
Huruma is a guide that knows a lot, tells interesting things and answers all our questions, but can also enjoy the silence when you just want to feel the nature around you. The balance is everything. He has great sense of humour and he became like a friend to us in 5 days. We feel like we were lucky to get him as our guide.
Lion King is Tanzanian owned with Tanzanian bank account, which is what you should be looking for. We want our money to go to the locals not to Europe or US. We owe that to the locals when we are so fortunate that we get the chance to enjoy their nature and wildlife.
Also most of the accommodation we booked (Kubu kubu, Eileen's trees inn, Karatu Simba lodge) are Tanzanian owned. All this made us very happy travellers. The above accommodations were all great and atmospheric! (Midrange-luxury)
We were very lucky with the wildlife, spotted even the big five! So many zebras, wildebeest, elephants, lions, giraffes and some leopards, cheetahs, rhinos, hippos, buffalos. We could not be happier with what we experienced.
If we went back, we would choose Lion King again and request for Rafiki (a friend) Huruma to be our guide again!

The best operators in Tanzania!
The cooks/food (Musa) was incredible. The guide (Mandela) made sure we saw the big 5 +. He had the eye of an eagle and the spirit of a lion. Trucks were safe. Overall an incredible experience. Highly recommended.

perfect arranement of our safari
perfect service from the beginning till to the end / fantastic choice of all lodges / well-educated guide during the safari: excellent knowledge, good communication, safe driver / ballooning was interesting, but the location was not choosen so well: the big beast migration took place in another national park
jopurney to sansibar:
Proposed hotel was optimal, fantastic atmosphere
The 2 tours offered on the island were not so well organized. But I am sure: this was an exception - sheet happens some time.

The trip was better than expectations; best food, best time, 100% recommend.
This trip was above any and all expectations.
Our guide (Mandala) was an amazing driver, very knowledgeable and honestly the best to be around all week! He made sure we saw as much as we could and we even saw the Big 5! Our cook (Musa) blew our minds with how good the food was every day!
We travelled with a group of 4 friends but decided no to go on a private tour. We met a lot of new friends from all over the world and I think this trip would be good for any age group!
We decided to camp and that was definitely one of my personal highlights! The tents were clean, strong, stayed dry, and the mats were very comfortable.
I will be back one day and 100% recommend Suricata Safaris
