Baby Lions, Leopard and Cheetah, a great week with big cats and more!
We had an amazing week with our guide Khalid. He was polite, professional and well-spoken in English. From his 15 years as a safari guide we could see he has a lot of experience and knows all the good spot to find the wildlife. He was also adapting the trip to what we we would like. We wanted to spend as much time as possible looking out for the animals so most of the days we woke up a 5:30 and were some of the last to arrive in the lodge. Khalid was more than happy to do long days and always tried his best the animals.
Some of the highlights of the trip:
- in Tarangire, we have spotted an elephant eating alone close to the road. After waiting for a while he was joined by more and more elephants and we were able to see more than 20 of them up close (so were a meter or 2 away from us).
- in Central Serengeti, we saw a whole pride of lions from very close. There was one male, 7 females including that were nursing around 10 babies. It was amazing to then them a few meters away interacting with each other like that. We also saw a female unsuccessfully hunting a gazelle which was very interesting to see as we were able to observe her approaching for 30 minutes.
- in Central Serengeti, we saw a big male leopard in a tree as well as 4 cheetah (2 males sleeping on one occasion and another day a mother with a juvenile male eating a pray)
- in Northern Serengeti we saw 3 wildebeest crossings. In one of them we even saw crocodiles attacked some of the weaker wildebeest that got carried away from the group by the river.
- in the Lake Manyara, we saw some lions climbing into trees to lookout for prays in the area
We saw many different animals on several occasions on top of the one highlighted above: giraffe, hippos, hyena, jackal, buffalo, zebra, vulture, antilope.
We warmly recommend Lion King Adventure and Khalid!

Mighty Private trip Uganda
What a mighty tour company, the so called Private trip Uganda. I travelled to most areas including Queen Elizabeth National park and Bwindi and it was an amazing trip with experienced tour guide. Karin.

Wonderfull
We chose Benson Safari for our safari and we can only congratulate ourselves because it is a very trustworthy and serious agency, Benson and Judith were able to meet our requirements and were very very patient both for the lodges and for the visits parks. The communication was very responsive they have always listened to us the rates are very competitive on an equal comparison with other agencies. Our safari went without the slightest problem from our reception at Kilimanjaro airport until our departure from Arusha airport to reach Zanzibar. We had asked for a driver guide who spoke French who was very professional and with very safe driving. In short, an extraordinary experience that we have seen in the wonderful moments and grace to all of Benson's team.

Great experience
We had an excellent 7 day Amboseli, Nakuru and Mara trip with Jocky. Planning of the trip was quite easy with quick and seamless communication over email with Minneh and Eric. The tour was customised as per our needs.
Our guide Joshua was just fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and had a great eye to spot animals at distance. We saw the big 5 even before we visited Mara. The highlight was watching the river crossing and Joshua made sure we got a great spot to view the spectacle.
Stay was comfortable as well and all hotels close to the park gates.
Only negative was the hotel at Nakuru (Lanet Matfam) with sub standard accommodation and food.
Overall a great experience.

Absolutely fabulous!
We travelled with Tongesai Mutematsaka of Cultural Vibes Travels & Tours through Zimbabwe, Botswana and a tiny bit of Zambia for 17 days. The tour was magnificent and Tongesai did absolutely everything possible to make it the huge success that it was. Since we had to co-ordinate several people's wishes, a lot of changes became necessary. Tongesai organised it all with a smile. I can recommend him in the strongest terms without any hesitation whatsover.
