Brilliant personal service
I had an amazing safari with Hekima, from the minute I contacted them to ask for quotes until after the safari was over, they were brilliant.
During the planning they answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly, and despite the limitations of tourism in December 2021 they made sure the safari went ahead as planned, even adjusting it to align with my flight times!
The lodges and camps were great, and the guide made huge efforts to get us sightings of all the “Big 5”.
If you are looking for a company that gives 100% to truly personal service, look no further

Outstanding
My wife and I have traveled with Erasto (owner, director, and operator of E&H Blessed Safaris) in 2010, 2012, and 2018. We were planning on a month with him in 2020, but Covid struck and we have been waiting for safe tourism to return. We hope to be there again in 2023.
Each of our trips was more spectacular than the one prior, evidenced by the fact that our first safari was 10 days, the second was 18 days, our third was 23 days, and our last was planned for a month.
With Erasto and Abel, our driver and incredible scout, each day was an adventure into the wonderland of Tanzanian wildlife, culture, and beauty. Their knowledge of the flora and fauna is mind boggling, and they love to teach. Erasto pays attention to every detail so that each of our trips went without a single glitch, other than the obligatory occasional flat tire - and he has multiple spares.
The motto of E&H is "Paths less traveled". That is an understatement. We would often travel an entire day and not see another safari group for hours. This is in sharp contrast to the traffic jams of many safari vehicles we would see from a distance crowding to see a single lion while we had already seen multiple prides that very same day. As a serious amateur wildlife photographer, I assure you that limitless photo opportunities are a certainty. I came home with over 9000 unique images from our last trip.
To summarize, traveling with E&H Blessed Safari, Erasto and Abel, is Simply The BEST!!

Organised and on top of their work
Safari Update Travels have automatically become my go-to travel planners. They're organised, whatever they post, is what they provide and work to ensure their clients are comfortable.
I'm already looking for more trips with them. Totally worth it!

Amazing amboseli tour
We had an amazing tour of amboseli with Africa starpal. Highly recommend them, they pick us up from our hotel in Nairobi early and the drive is not bad they will stop for you to use bathroom or eat something. Once at amboseli we checked in at our hotel that they helped me book then we went for an evening game drive, the park was great we got to see lots of animals. We spend the night at our hotel then went out again in the morning for an early game drive where we got to see even more animals. I can’t say anything negative about this company I will gladly use them again when I go back to Kenya

Excellent service and exceptional guide/driver
Jabulani travel was very prompt with their offers, I was able to negotiate prices for different types of accommodation on offer and our guide/driver, Anthony was exceptional. He was a very skilled and knowledgeable driver, very personable and made the experience memorable.

Trip of a lifetime
Me and my girlfriend did a 8-day mid-range safari in February. We visited the following parks: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and the Ndutu Area. I've broken down my review into sections.
Accommodations & Food:
I cannot begin to express how blown away we were with the entire experience. The service, food and accommodations were exceptional...especially considering we paid for a mid-range package. It was sparkling clean, well appointed, had comfy beds, spacious rooms and great showers. The staff were so friendly and helpful. And the food was absolutely delicious!
I'm pleased to say I can say all the same about the bush camp. I didn't really know what to expect in that regard, but upon arrival we were shocked (in the best way possible). While the tents do have canvas sides, they are much more like cabins than tents. They have wrap around decks, wood floors, hot showers, and amazingly comfortable beds. It felt more like staying at an eco-hotel than staying in a tent and we were not mad about it. On top of that, the staff was outstanding and served some of the best meals of our entire trip.
Guide & Game Drive:
Our guide Salehe was the best! He was kind and friendly and a very good driver and was always doing his best to find animals for us. He happily answered all our questions and helped educate on us on the animals and ecosystem. With his knowledge and keen eye, we were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5 during our trip. Considering how much time you spend with your guide, we were grateful to have such a professional. The vehicle itself was spacious, clean and well maintained. It was always stocked with cold waters and had outlets in case devices needed to charged throughout the day.
Communication & Value:
We had reached out to several other tour companies for quotes before deciding to go with Lion King. They were always so prompt with their responses and patient while waiting for us to make our decision. When it came to pricing, they were not the cheapest but were nowhere near the most expensive either. They had great reviews and were so on top of their communications, that we felt confident going with them.
Overall:
This was a trip of a lifetime! Safari was a bucket list item for us, so we had high expectations and Lion King over delivered. I would recommend them to anyone looking to do safari in Tanzania and would happily book with them again if given the chance.
