Unforgettable experience
Lion King Adventures created an exceptional 7-day safari for us. James, Rose, and the entire team were very professional and responsive at all stages of the organization. Our trip took us from Lake Manyara to the great migration at the Mara River, through Ngorogoro, and on to Tarangire. Our young guide, Enock, was unfailingly energetic and professional, always alert, smiling and enthusiastic. The welcome in the lodges was particularly warm. A very nice trip. We recommend them.

The ultimate in professional travel services
The team at Experience Africa were incredible and ensured that our trip lived up to expectations. We decided on our route but the team provided us with accommodation recommendations, travel tips and secured accommodation for our group. The team were always on hand to guide us and answer all questions ahead of and during the trip.
Just a great experience for us as a group.
We have already engaged Experience Africa for our next trip, a real indication of amazing service we received from the team!

Highly Recommend!
We decided to spend our wedding anniversary in Kenya last minute and Joel was super accommodating. We decided to go on 6 days/5 nights safari. He addressed all the queries, was always available, the communication was smooth and timely. He was attentive to all the details shared and arranged the best rooms and special treatments for my husband's birthday and our anniversary. So he went far and beyond to support us.
Joe was our guide and he was amazing. Super professional. he managed to find the best spots for us to watch the animals. We did our Big 5, thanks to him. He showed us great places, was always caring and he has very nice music in his car.
We stayed in 4 different lodges during our safari. All of them were wow. The Cliff at Nakuru is the top. We recommend staying there at least for a night to enjoy the views. We stayed at KIBO in Amboseli, which is also great and has a Kilimanjaro view. Ilkiliani (Masai Mara) - highly recommended, it's a boutique lodge (they have only 12 lodges) with great food, and great service and they recently renovated their premium lodges, which are very comfy and stylish.
We had a great time and the company is trusted.

Great tour with amazing wildlife and very professional guide / driver
Very good experience with African Big Cats Safaris. Very professional, good and up to date communication.
Our guide for 3 days (Sandrine) was very reliable and knew everything about the parcs, animals. Very flexible.
The accomodation in the parc was superb as well as the food! The prices for safaris in Tanzania are relatively high, African Big Cats Safaris is no exception in that. Anyway, altogether a beautiful experience!

A great tour organized by friendly helpful knowledgeable people
I have worked and lived in Tanzania for some years, but wanted to finally get to Gombe National Park to see the chimpanzees made famous by the research of Jane Goodall. Safari bookings linked me to Colours Africa Tours and I am very thankful they did. The agent here in Arusha was helpful and flexible as I had to change my plans a couple of times. When I arrived in Kigoma he was there. He himself went to Kigoma to be with me the whole time and make sure I had a good experience. I was travelling alone and am 84 years old, and it was great to have his help. In fact, the chimpanzees don't stay near the finished trails in the park, and to get the full experience one has to get off the trails and into the bush, and for me, the rough terrain was difficult and he helped and I was able to stay up with other tourists and get the full wildlife experience. Colours Afirca Tours also brought along a very good chef, and the lodging tent was comfortable too. I recommend them without reservation.

Unprofessional tour operator
I would not recommend booking a safari through Kenamoti Tours.
We booked a 3-day Masai Mara safari through safaribooking.com (3-Day Masai Mara 4x4 Land Cruiser Safari). An important criterion for us was to have a real 4x4 safari vehicle (as opposed to minibuses). Therefore, we booked a safari that included the 4x4 vehicle.
Communication with the tour organization was mainly through a man named Amos. He was flexible with the tour dates, which was nice since our itinerary changed slightly.
However, when we got to his office to discuss final details and make payment, he wanted the money in cash, which we were not prepared for. During our trip we learned that it is common in Kenya to pay even larger amounts in cash. We were able to arrange with Amos to pay only a deposit in cash and pay the rest when we were picked up, which seemed more convenient.
On the day of the pickup, we were picked up around 9am by two people (the booked tour originally stated 7am) who drove us to the bus. It turned out that our safari vehicle was one of the minibuses and not the promised 4x4 vehicle. After some discussion with the staff, our only options were to cancel the tour (and probably not get our deposit back) or settle for what we got and pay the full amount. We decided to go ahead with the tour since we didn't have time to find another tour. When we arrived at the camp, it turned out to be a different camp than the tour description stated. Also, the tour description said that there was a maximum of 6 people per vehicle (we were 8), which was quite uncomfortable at times. According to the tour description, there was supposed to be another morning game drive on the third day. The driver informed us that the plans had been changed and instead of the game drive we would only have the option of visiting the Masai village (for $10). We were able to negotiate with the driver and he organized an alternative "plant medicine walk" with one of the Masai for free. In the end, it was a nice tour with good game drives, but the fact that we were tricked into a tour that was significantly cheaper than what we paid was very disappointing. Therefore, we give this tour provider a poor rating and would not recommend anyone to book with this provider. Amos is not able to properly plan the bookings he receives, which ends in chaos and disappointment.
