Fabulous experience with Gilbert as our guide
One of my friends wanting to go on a safari, did extensive research and found Lion King Adventures, a local agency, which was an important factor. Together with Anna, they organized a fabulous all-inclusive safari for our group of 5.
We were extremely lucky to have Gilbert as our guide and driver and we could not have had a better one. Gilbert knew all the good spots, when and where to go and what was a good time to leave. All this while being respectful of the wildlife and the environment, which we really appreciated. Gilbert was kind and discreet in taking care of us and managing the difficult roads and having the “African Massage” be as smooth as possible.
What an extraordinary experience, thank you Gilbert for your contribution to making this such a memorable trip.

Safari bookings is actually a time conscious company with excellent services and that makes it great
The communication with the company is quite good as they responded to my emails quickly thus ease on updates.The services offered were quite good and of high quality.Talking about the expenses I would say it was quite similar and affordable.My tour was to amboseli which took 9 hrs and because of my good hosts I felt at home and it was very enjoyable being served with hospitality and care

Wonderfully Organized and Fantastic Sights!
We originally scheduled this trip in June of 202 and then had to wait until now for rebooking. The entire time Shemeji assured us that our deposit was safe for as long as needed. Once we finally got to go, we were afraid that it would not live up to our very high expectations and anticipation over two years, but it surpassed all of that,
The communication before the trip was excellent including a detailed itinerary of who would be picking us up and when for our airport transports, etc. The person cited was not always the person who came, but someone came and it was always clear. One time the plan was early and no one was there yet of course so we waited. At the designated time a man approached me and asked me if I was Ms. Mills and when I said I was he told me to go with the taxi driver who was waiting. Apaarently our scheduled driver was running late or had some problem but he made sure that we were taken care of at the scheduled time.
The accommodations were varied and all very lovely. The service at all of them was wonderful,
We added on a day in Stone Town which I feel is necessary. We were tired after our safari and wanted to move at a little slower pace so the extra time was nice to explore the town, see Prisoner Island, etc. The food there is wonderful. The food in all of the lodges was unexpected good as well. The only thing I did not appreciate is our transportation in Zanzibar from the airport to the hotel was very persistent about booking a tour. As I said we were tired and just wanted to relax a bit and weren't ready to make a decision about that. He pressured us into a tour which we were happy we did afterwards but I would like to have chosen it without that kind of stress.
The resort in Zanzibar was lovely, I was on the comfort tour and it was the accommodations with an ensuite bathroom. I didn't upgrade anything and I found all to be very clean, nice and comfortable.
Joseph was our guide for the five days of the safari and we enjoyed him very much. He picked us up everyday on time and did his best to seek out all of the animals that we wanted to see. He was a safe driver and shared a lot of information with us, made suggestions to stop at a Massai culture center, etc. Thanks Joseph!

Malawi Dream Trip
This was just a seamless and stunning journey and experience in Malawi with Misuku Expeditions and particularly under Johnny guidance and leadership!
The trip was on spot to mix adventure, landscaping, local life and culture exploring. Mixed with fun and safety, this was one of the most vibrant and unique trip I have ever experienced!
The team is really flexible, happy to help at all times and provides an excellent customer service with candid recommendations.
Safety, loyalty, help, fun, joy, reliability, happiness, surprises are just a few keywords describing this experience!

Perfect Memorable Birthday trip
After contacting a few other tour operators I felt overwhelmed with information and unhappy with their responses.
I contacted African Marvel for a quotation and Perminus was quick to answer my queries and tailor make a trip for us, fitting our intended travel plans and budget. The entire booking process was straight forward and I was confident that the proposed trip was very good value for money when compared to other quotes.
We spend 3 days with our guide John from Nairobi to Amboseli. Always punctional and informative, John made sure we were fully comfortable the entire trip and answered every single question we had with the animals no matter how silly. He knew Amboseli park extremely well and we were able to spot all the animals even lions. By the end of the trip we felt like friends.
During the trip it was my 30th birthday and John made sure to organise a special picnic in the park to celebrate. Despite the long drives his attitude remained positive throughout. Tulia camp we stayed at during our stay was again outstanding. Recently renovated, it had all the amenities you could ask for. And to wake up to the view of giraffes outside our tent at dawn with Kilimanjaro in the distance was a once in a life time experience.
When our travel plans changed and we were able to spend some extra days in Kenya at the end of our trip Perminus and African Marvel were able to organise a one day safari in Nairobi national park at very late notice. I am extremely grateful for this as it meant we left kenya on a high and even saw rhinos at long last.
I cannot recommend African Marvel enough and will most definitely be back in Kenya for another safari with John in the future.

Amazing safari experience
We did 5 days safari with Michael the guide, and we had an amazing time with him!
He is lovely, patient, and it’s like he is whispering to the animals - We got to see all the big 5, some of them for real close.
Big recommendations!

Brilliant - Super friendly, Helpful, Considerate And Extremely Knowledgeable
Thanks to infinity holiday homes we got to visit Mombasa.
We learnt about history, art, culture and much more. We are well traveled and have high standards, and we were very happy with our tour guide - she was great and spoke excellent English. Time and money well invested.

Couldn't be better
It has been a pleasure travelling with this company, the host went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip, I'd recommend this company to anyone who's going to see Serengeti and Ngorongoro

Castor, the master driver
This safari is amazing! Castor was a great driver and took us around Masai Mara for one evening and one full day. He drove us fast to all the places we needed to get to to see the big 5 and he also taught us about the ugly 5. We experienced bush toilet, picnic outside and seeing these magnificent animals in the wild. Please be aware that it’s a bumpy ride. Masai Mara has all off road driving as well as being around 6 hours drive from Nairobi. Bring sunscreen for the drive as well as it was 29 degrees. The camp we stayed in was lovely. Hot showers and electricity and zebras in the garden one evening. Bring some snacks for the day as it’s a long day. The safari is great value and I would definitely do it again.
