Best guide with knowledge of the national parks. Always happy and respectful. Five stars!
My husband and I book with Lion King Safari Tour. We were assign with driver and guide Gilbert. Gilbert was amazing from the start to finish on our tour. He was literally our life line through out of our safari trip and beyond . He was professional and courteous on everything, from setting up our lunch table and serving us lunch each day. A remarkable guide who become our family forever. We had such a wonderful time and seeing the big five. Captivating us with his knowledge of the National parks and insuring of our safety. We have made the correct decision in choosing Lion King as safari tour.
Thank you Gilbert!! and Lion King !

Very professional tour operator. Everything went to plan. Saw 4 of the BIG FIVE!
We had an absolutely fantastic time. Safari of a lifetime! We had a 3 day safari with 2 nights in the Chobe National Park with all the animals. All food was included. Was picked up at the hotel in Victoria Falls and driven to Kasane, Botswana. Early afternoon Chobe River boat safari - words cannot describe - birds, buffalo, hippos, crocs... The following three days and two nights was the land safari in the National Park close to the Chobe river. Again, words cannot describe! It was like Jurassic Park! Kennedy, our very knowledgeable and friendly guide, was fantastic and explained everything about the animals and birds. He worked very hard and made every effort for us to see as many animals and birds as possible. We saw many lions, water buffalo, elephants, impala, giraffes, baboons, monkeys, jackals, eagles, vultures, crocs, many many beautiful birds etc. The camping experience was fantastic also, No fence, just lights around the camp at night. The animals keep themselves to themselves. Going to sleep and getting up in the morning with the bush noises and singing birds! An elephant passed by one night and a giraffe was seen near the camp in the morning. Thoroughly recommend Africa Zim Travel & Tours!

Great adventure, very knowledgeable driver, beautiful accommodation selections.
This was second time I used this smaller tour operator, and again I asked for the driver/ tracker (Hamza Nyelo) for a Semi- Luxury Private Tour. There is no doubt that amongst his peers Hamza is very well respected. We often were the first to spot the more challenging animals such as leopards, and others drivers would be called in. With shy animals you have to be one of the first to arrive, leopards for example will quickly retreat into deeper cover. Hamza is so knowledgeable in all aspects, from tracking footprints, watching animal behavior, bird spotting, and identifying and naming plants, the history of the parks and Tanzania, and is also an excellent driver across all terrains and conditions. He also has a very open and wonderfully caring personality. This all adds additional quality to the overall safari experience, as you explore the enormity and biodiversity of the Tarangire and Serengeti national parks. We went and followed the migration as the Wildebeests and Zebra are giving birth in February, it was amazing to see and experience this in the Southern Serengeti and around Lake Ndutu .
The camp sites and lodges selected by the operator was also excellent, particularly the Lake Burunge and Tanzania Bush tented camps. We had animals all around in each case, the beautiful sight of a small herd of elephants about 150 meters from back of the Lake Ndutu Safari lodge, to multiple lions roaring outside the Tanzania Bush tented camp as you fall a sleep is etched into the memory. The food quality and selections, and general comfort was also excellent from each of the overnight sites, along with the friendly service and security from the animals.
A highly recommend life experience, with extremely great value for money.

Reliable, just wants to just give amazing experiences - so many small details just made it perfect!
Timely pick up at the airport and even checking on us as we were flying in - knows a lot of interesting places and people in Kampala and around, if you are interested in anything in particular, just ask him - should be possible I guess!
We went on a 21 day trip across the whole country and had to take care of anything - a very new experience as we usually plan a lot ourselves. But it was well done, when there was delays it was not because of Rada.
And then, the national parks - hiking the Virungas was stunning, and we got to know so many things about life in Uganda, wildlife, and the country. The parks are insanely beautiful, not as packed as in other countries, full of wildlife. My highlight was the Rhino sanctuary where Rhinos sometimes accompany you for dinner!
We ended up sharing dinner and drinks almost every day and it was fun - I am still in touch with Rada frequently and sharing jokes and stories from his newest trips.
If you can, meet Rada - you will not regret it for sure!

Friendly and professional services
We've been on a 6 day Machame route track to Kilimanjaro followed by a two day safari in Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The logistics were organized by Africa Royal Trekking and although I had some worries before going to Tanzania, I have to admit I was wrong. Mr. Loya and Josh were friendly and professional, they adapted everything according to our needs so we had a good stay in Tanzania. We have joined another grouped and the guide to the mountain was Mr. Joseph from Double P Mountaineering and Safari Experts Ltd, again I can only say good words about him and his crew too. They guided us safely to the top, solved the logistic problem of half a group being on 6 day, the other on 7 day schedule. In our free day we were also accompanied and guided around Arusha, having another nice day there with good people. Thank you!

Great Experience, great knowledge, best driver/guide!
We had a great 5 night Safari Tour with Kimomwe Adventure and Safaris covering the most popular spots in Tanzania, like Ngorongoro and Serengeti national park. Kimomwe and Moses (Our Driver/Guide) did everything to make us feel comfortable. They knew so much of nature, animals and culture. It was amazing. We saw almost every kind of animal and they made everything possible to have the best view. So all in all best Safari of my life. Thank you so much again. Please go ahead and book Kimomwe Adventure and Safaris now and experience it by your own!

Memorable 10 days safari in Uganda
Finally made up my mind and decided to start planning a 10 days tour in Uganda with my dad and sister and here comes the most difficult question..what tour operator should we go for?
After a careful online evaluation, we decided to reach out to Gorilla O'Clock and Vivian (co-owner of the tour operator) is the first person we got in contact with - very supportive and very much available to answer all our questions, communication was great and she gave us several tips on what to see and what not.
Once having figured the majority of the trip out, comm moved to Whatsapp (way more direct, I really liked that) where Paul (the other co-owner) gave us additional tips and recommendations before our departure and helped throughout the visa, vaccination, etc. process.
Departure day finally comes around, and upon our arrival, Paul gave us a very warm welcome coming to pick us up at the airport and introducing us to our tour guide, the one and only..Khalif!!!
The trip would have surely been great in itself but Khalif added something else to it :) very talkative and knowledgeable about everything that could possibly be found in Uganda - you can tell straight away how passionate he is about his job! Always made us feel at ease, brought us to eat amazing local food along the way (you have to know that Khalif is also known as Mr. Matoke), made us feel part of the country and not just simple visitors, and most importantly - he always had a smile on his face and created a very friendly and chill atmosphere!
And let's not forget about our safari experience in the parks, you can count on Khalif if your goal is to spot every single animal you want - memorable the leopard sleeping on a tree in Ishasha, or the lion's family in Murchison Falls.
Generally, accommodations were very good and clean with amazing views over nature, the food was amazing and the trip was very planned as a whole - we managed to be on schedule and do all the activities we had planned.
Thanks a lot, Paul, Khalif, and Vivian for the amazing adventure, hope to see you again in the future perhaps visiting Europe or Africa again... who knows!
Uganda was just an unforgettable experience! You are doing great with Gorilla O'clock keep it up!!
