Organized
Altezza and our personal guide were 10/10 fantastic. The administrative crew who helped with our booking on the front end were organized and communicated throughout the trip with check-ins. Everything from pick up to the organization of meals were well coordinated.
As for our safari guide, Carlos was the best! He was very knowledgeable of the areas we visited (Tarangire, Ngorogoro, and Serengeti) as well as the fauna and flora. He answered our many questions. His driving skills and knowledge were critical in us seeing the African Big Five. We were so appreciative of the experience he created for us.
We wanted value for dollars spent and Altezza delivered.

Great service and extremely experienced
The service and experience is simply amazing,
A quick example we decided to go out early to record the sunrise and decided to push on deeper into the hunt for wildlife.
Instead of having to return all the way to camp for lunch and breakfast, our guide had it delivered to us. This was more than a 1,5 hour drive. Simply amazing service, its these tiny things that make it so relaxing,
A different example is the years of experience,
We would be sitting somewhere and getting a bit frustrated that we are in this position, there was nothing to take pictures of, but the driver kept quiet until we where surrounded by elephants, all so close you can Touch them.
I have so many great pictures of animals that i dont even know where to start.
We have seen all the animals we would possibility want and more.
I would say if you want a personalized trip and you want to make use of someone that really wants to share his experience with you. Offering the best places to go the best moments to be there and the greatest accommodations,
The you absolutely have to go with Lion Track

A must do safari experience add on when visiting Zanzibar
From booking the Safari tour directly with Uwanda Tours, the communication was good from the start. The price was a very good all inclusive package including round trip airport transfers.
We were picked up directly from the airport landing strip and straight into the safari jeep, great welcome and first impressions. The jeep seated 6 but we had it privately for a group of 2 which we loved. Our guide Mr Martin, was amazing, he asked our preferences and did the best job of finding all the animals for us, as well as being very knowledgable and giving lots of useful info about Tanzania, the animals and everything else. The game drive was above all my expectations, i really did have an amazing day, so much so that I will be rebooking for a full safari trip at a later date. The lunch on the game drive was also delicious and I am a fussy eater!
The accomadation provided was spacious and clean, with a lovely pool too. we had lots of visitors - monkeys! all around the resort. my only issue with the resort was that there was no restaurant menu, there was only 1 dish provided for lunch and dinner, so if you have any dietary requirements you will need to prepare in advance.
Day 2, we absolutely loved the Maasai village tour, however didnt love the river cruise, I found it quite boring, so given the choice I would choose a second game drive!
my only issue for the whole trip was the lack of communication at the airport leaving Zanzibar, there were multiple flights, no boarding passes and lots of confusion!
But overall we had an amazing trip and was a great expereince and also great value for money.
highly recommend.

Very professional, kind and well mannered
As Italian I appreciated they speak my language very well so there are less misunderstandings. The initial approved budget was respected and the accomodation reflected the comfort level chosen. A special experience without complications.

Exceptional safari, great guide
My husband and I did 2 nights in Samburu, 1 night in Nakuru, and 3 nights in Masai Mara, and it was a memorable experience.
Our guide was John, and he played an important role in making the trip exceptional. John is knowledgeable, knows the parks and wildlife well, is a great spotter, and an excellent driver.
At Samburu, we saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, and most of Samburu’s Special Five. Only because of his judgment did we have a great sighting of a cheetah at Samburu. At Nakuru, we saw a pride of lions feeding, black and white rhinos, and many birds. At Masai Mara, we saw countless lions (more than 20 every day), cheetahs, leopards feeding, lions feeding, and lions with small cubs. And to top it all, we even saw a river crossing at Sand River, again because of John’s judgment. He never rushed us at any sighting and never got tired of showing us animals, even when it was a long day of driving for him.
He was very pleasant and informative, and he was friends with most of the other guides, which helped with sightings. Above all, he was very kind to everyone around him, both animals and humans.
We stayed at Sopa lodges at Samburu and Nakuru, both were excellent, at Masai Mara we stayed at Jambo mara, rooms were good but food was not.
Moses from Jockey helped us in planning, email replies were quick. Only thing to note is that Jocky charges extra for card payments, clarify this. They gave us best deal.

David made this trip the best. His driving, and friendliness were unmatched
We had an absolute blast and David looked out for us every step of the way. We were fortunate to see many rare things and have lots of fun while spotting them. High level of service was experienced throughout and definitely high value for money. Even when there was a slight hiccup with breakfast one day we were so glad to have David looking out for us and making it right with the camp.

Excellent safari
Suricata safaris were excellent. I joined a group safari as a solo traveller at the last minute. I was fortunate to have different guides across the 5 days (Amuss, Steve and Amiri). They were able to iron out a scheduling issue remotely and each of them was able to find bucket list animals, provide information, answer questions and line the car up for the perfect photo or view point.
I thoroughly recommend the camping safari. Tents and beds were set up on arrival, food was excellent and it's amazing to hear it even wake up to animals around the camp.

Fantastique : Thank you
An unforgettable experience with Lion King Adventures!
From our very first contact with Lion King Adventures, the team understood exactly what we were looking for and created an itinerary that perfectly matched our wishes.
From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, everything was extremely well organised. Every lodge they selected was wonderful, with a warm welcome, incredibly friendly staff, beautiful rooms and excellent food. Everything was spotlessly clean and peaceful. Staying in a tented lodge in the middle of the African savannah was an absolutely incredible experience that we will never forget.
A very special mention must go to our guide, Robert, who accompanied us throughout our safari. He was always cheerful, attentive and passionate, with an excellent knowledge of the wildlife and nature. He looked after us incredibly well and helped make our safari truly unforgettable. A huge thank you to Robert!
We are now in Zanzibar, staying at The Z Hotel, which was also recommended by Lion King Adventures, and once again it is an excellent choice. A wonderful hotel in which to finish this amazing journey.
A huge thank you to the entire Lion King Adventures team for your professionalism, organisation and excellent recommendations.
We would recommend you without hesitation!
Congratulations to the whole team, and once again, a very special thank you to Robert for making our safari such an exceptional experience.
