Excellent company with passion to provide wonderful experiences.
We had a very good guide who knew where to find the big five, and the company was swift in response whenever we had a request. I will definitely use the company again. Thank you Nature Exploration Safaris for offering a memorable safari.

100% satisfaction guarantee, excellent services and fantastic holiday
Mangi Empire Safaris did a fantastic job arranging a safari for my family and me.
Right from the beginning the communications on email was outstanding. I ordered a quote on a safari (3 day trip) to Ngorongoro and Serengeti and they understood my needs right away. They suggested alternatives and it was easy to talk details and get the planning finalized.
We were picked up in Kilimanjaro Airport as planned and on time. We had a night in Arusha before going on safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro. All the way we stayed at nice hotels (Serena Lodges), and they were even better than I had imagined. The view over Ngorongoro from over room was spectacular and so was staying in the middle of Serengeti in our own big bungalow.
Our safari driver, Baraka, was very professional, considerate and nice to be around. We travelled with our 4 year old and he was very good at driving slowly giving her time to see everything. His knowledge about the wildlife was impressing and he could answer all our questions about animals’ etc.
We saw all the interesting animals on our trip - a lot of lions, Zebra, Cheetah, elephants - and even rhinos from a distance in Ngorongoro.
All in all we feel that we have gotten a superb product and service from MangiEmpire Tours - and for a really reasonable price. We feel we got excellent value for our money.
If you are looking for a place to buy your safari in Tanzania - don't hesitate to use this Company. They have my warmest recommendations.

Surpassed all of our expectations!
I don't even know where to begin. This trip was the most amazing experience my husband and I have ever had and I could not recommend it enough.
We knew we wanted to go on Safari for our honeymoon, but we didn't know where to start. I found a number of companies on Safari Bookings, but Lion King stood out to us. From initial contact they were friendly, sent a detailed itinerary and guidance for Tanzania and were quick to respond to any questions we had big or small. At every stage of the planning (and we booked within 6 weeks of our visit) Wilbard and Pendo responded to us within 24 hours and arranged extra tours at our requests. We couldn't wait to arrive.
When we landed in Arusha it was 8pm and took us over an hour to get through security. I was concerned by this, but we were met by Emmanuel at the airport and he was instantly welcoming. He loaded our luggage, gave us bottled water and explained to us about Tanzania and where we were going. Emmanuel was also our tour guide for our final day in Arusha, where we went coffee making and to a hot spring. He couldn't have done enough for us - he guarded our belongings whilst we swam, kept checking to see if Kilimanjaro was out from the clouds and offered us local food and drinks. All of these things may seem small, but they made us feel very comfortable and welcomed. We cannot thank him enough!
Now, onto the safari. Ozzie was our driver and guide and we were so lucky to have got him. He was friendly, funny and exceptionally hard working (he even managed to teach us some Swahili, which we really enjoyed learning)! On day one we saw 3 of the big 5 and thought that was lucky, but he surpassed himself over the next 2 days. When we went to the Ngorongoro Crater & the Serengeti he found us the big 5 in one day - it was truly one of the best days of our lives! The leopard was found right at sunset in the Serengeti and although other tour guides (from other companies) decided it was too far to drive Ozzie got us there in time to see her asleep in the tree and then jump down and walk right next to us!
The next day we were in the Serengeti and Ozzie asked us what we would like to see - we said hyenas and cheetahs, if possible. Ozzie went out of his way to find them for us, and although others considered it too far a drive, he took us to see 2 family of cheetah (one had 5 cubs) and where the hyenas were gathering (which happened to be next to some lions and over 10,000 zebra). We were honestly so lucky with Ozzie's humour, knowledge and tenacity and cannot thank him enough for his work.
From the initial contact to our Arusha and Safari guide, Lion King exceeded all of our expectations and ensured we would never forget Tanzania (especially with the 6000 photos taken)! Thank you all so much!

Outstanding Safari Tour
We had a excellent and outstanding Safari organized and carried by Mega Adventures.
Starting with the pick up from the airport and all over the whole safari we are really thankfull and
could recommend Mega Adventures. The most importent thing was our guide Yassin, if you are planning
a tour with Mega Adventures, you should take Yassin as your guide. Everything was well prepared and
Yassin is a funny,lovely person, he knows his business and the animals very well. With Yassin you have the
chance to see the big five. Thank you for this amazing tour!!

3 Days Safari to Aberdare National Park & Ol Pejeta Conservancy
Our tour planning manager Abel was super fast to accommodate us and keep us informed all the time. The driver, Phillip, was amazing very professional and training excellent driver.
The experience at both Aberdare and Olpejeta was amazing. The Ark at Aberdare has balconies facing a pond were animals gather at night. We saw a pack of hyenas trying to hunt several animals. An incredible experience.
Olpejeta Conservacy was also a wonderful place with a lot of animals (elephants, rhinos, hyenas, impalas, zebras et al)
I will definitely recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris.

A wonderful trip to Africa!
Very exciting journey. The schedule is very reasonable and the pace is not slow or slow. The entire itinerary is in the southern hemisphere and only one day passes the equator. Ordinary travelers will worry about the safety of African tourism. In fact, security is not a problem. African tourism can experience completely different scenery and get a completely new experience. It is highly recommended that the itinerary formulated by the China-Africa travel agency! We will come again!

very profesional and 100 percent relaiable
it is difficult to put all this in words, it was more than you can expect, just wonderful. The guides tried so hard to show all the wildlife, even in difficult times. The accomodations were all special and all the staff just great. I can really recommend it.

Trip of a lifetime, this trip did not disappoint
This trip was to make one of my father’s dreams come true ... to trek with Gorillas. At the age of 75, he thought he would never get to do it. This trip did not disappoint. We did an 8 day safari, which was put together by East African Jungle Safaris, the trip covered Bwindi to see the gorillas, Queen Elizabeth National park where we had the rare opportunity to see the climbing lions. The trip also included a game safari and boat Cruise. Which were both amazing. We then went on to visit Kampala and had another Game Safari seeing the leopard, elephants and much more. We visited a local community and did a nature walk and a community walk ... this was well worth the visit. Our guides were 2 college students, who were doing a tourism course, so this was an opportunity to give back tote community, as well as a chance for them to improve their English. The following day was a trip to see the Chimpanzees in the wild, again the time spent with them was limited to 1 hour, once you found them in the forest.
We went on later to Murchison falls NP for a further game safari, boat cruise to seethe Murchison falls from the bottom ... and from the top (the top viewing is most impressive ! ) on the 8th day we went to a Rhino Sanctuary ,.. Very much worth it. They are doing an incredible job, again, you get to spend 1 hour with the Rhino once you have found them in the sanctuary/ Al though this trip is very heavy on travel between 3- 10 hours a day, you see so much and see so much along the way ....limit your stops ie: toilet stops and getting out to stretch your legs and you limit your time on the road, and have a little more time on safari or chilling at the lodges
Our Guide Willy did the most amazing job ... knowledgeable, flexible and was always there to take a snap if you need it. If you were willing to start early, he would be up and ready too. Best advice start as early as possible (5am/6am ) as the days can be long and this way you maximise the time you will get will animals on the safaris. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Willy. Thank you !!

Best travel agency ever
It started as a normal trip, but ended up a friendship. So I said yes without a second hesitation when Le came to ask me to write a review, even the trip was ten years ago. It was definitely a wonderful experience. Every details was taken good care of. I was treated not as a customer, but more like a friend. Don’t miss out the crab from the restaurant of the same owner of the travel agency. The Champagne Breakfast hot air balloon trip is also a must-do thing. I don’t remember much since it has been ten years. But what I remember is that I haven’t been to zoo after back from Kenya. So go SAFARI!!

Perfect trip, unforgettable memories
Everything was wonderful. I got fetched up at the airport in Johannesburg, then spend one night at Tremisana, where I had a wonderful time, with nice people, amazing night safari, braii in the bush and special morning bush walk with "Hakuna Matata". What an awesome man!
The next day we went to Marc's Tree House, where I spend the rest of my trip (4 nights). The stuff is great and the food very tasty. It was so fun to meet some nyalas on your way to the breakfast. The tree houses are stylish if you don't matter with some bugs. :D. and the loud silence in the night is unforgettable!!!
While my safari tours, I have seen a big variety of animals, espacially the cheethas have been great, I will never forget how I felt, sitting in the open vehicle and watching these big cats eating an impala...
All in all I had a perfect trip!!! Thank you so much!
