"Reliable, well informed"
We had the best time ever. It was a great trip! Everything went according to plan and we couldn't be more satisfied about the Trip Advisor Africa Safari.
The free upgrade from a van to a Land Rover was super important and made the difference during the Safari days.
Our driver Charles was really kind, polite and ready to help, well informed and tireless
The 3 days we spent In the Safari is probably one of the main reasons that we had such a great time and we will have such great memories from Kenya.
I highly recommend Trip Advisor Africa Safari for the future.

"outstanding"
We planned for a Kenya safari tour about 2 months before the trip, after we did some research "Kaylan tours" is the one we chose. The tour operator (Victor) plans our program which was perfect for 4 days tour. Victor came to meet us at the hotel in the morning before we start the tour and brief all the programmes again ... with the surprise which is some gift from him. We had Alex as the driver and tour guide he was a profressional driver and had good knowledge of all about Kenya. we follow all the programs to reach our aims which were to search for the "big five" of Kenya and we did.
Overall we are happy with Kaylan Tours and so happy to give them 5 stars also highly recommend them to people who are looking for a tour in Kenya for the first time.

Fantastic experience from beginning to end
We are so happy we chose Meru Slopes for our Safari! First off, Geofrey has always been extremely reliable, accommodating, helpful and so quick to answer our messages. Then our guide, Douglas was so much fun, great spirit, extremely knowledgeable and happy to share his knowledge, was a great and safe driver, very respectful of nature, we could only do a 4 day trip but were so lucky to be able to see the big 5! Also our chef, Bagu was exceptional, made us truly delicious meals, put a lot of care into them and was very sweet and also great fun!
I had read great reviews on this site which is why I chose this agency and even with all the reviews, the tour honestly exceeded my expectations. I strongly recommend Meru Slopes, you will be in the best of hands!

Really a great opportunity to explore the wildlife.
I got picked up at the airport and transported to the hotel. Then I had a short briefing about the upcoming days.
During the safari our guide Omar really went the extra mile to show us the best time possible and get some great pictures.
Everybody was on time, realiable and friendly.

Perfect organized
We booked the 7 day midrange tour very early in 2022. I asked for three tours and Kilimanjaro trek was the first who answered . We texted and very soon we decided to make our tour with this operator.
From the beginning handling was very professional and we never felt like „lost“. Our guide within the 7 did all effort to make this safari an experience of a lifetime for us. He has been more than 200 percent a 100 % successful. We saw all the big 5 so close , we have never seen before. For us it has been really the expierence of our life and we leave Tanzania full of memories. Kilimanjaro trek did. always take care about us and therefore Asante sana!!!.

Magical safari which not only met but exceeded our expectations!
We were on the Northern Circuit safari tour with Lion King Adventures with our family of 4 in July-August 2022 and it was amazing! From the initial inquiry to booking, paying, pre-briefing materials and finally the actual safari everything went exactly as had been promised and planned.
We were met by a driver upon arrival at the airport and taken to our hotel for a night in Arusha. The driver was telling us interesting things about Tanzania as well as the villages which we passed though on the drive. He also provided a recommendation for a restaurant for dinner for the night in Arusha, which proved to be an excellent choice.
The following morning our guide Abu met us at the hotel and we started on our journey. We toured Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater over the next 7 days and saw all of the animals (the big 5 and much more!) were hoping to see, and so many more, many that we didn't even know by name before seeing them live in one of the parks (or didn't honestly even know they exist). Abu was very knowledgeable on all of the animals, as well as nature in general, and was able to answer all the questions we continued to ask all the time. And the few times he didn't know you could be sure the next morning we set off he would tell us as he looked into it overnight! He was also great in engaging with our teenagers.
Absolute highlight was our second evening in Serengeti on the way back to our lodge we came to 4 lionesses resting by the road, or on the road, and as we watched 4 more came to join them! And there was no one else, all the other vehicles had already gone - absolutely magical!
What we didn't even realize when we started off on the safari was what a nice benefit it was to have a hamper lunch, i.e. a warm proper lunch, every day along the trip, compared to most other safari parties which had lunch boxes instead. This was a really nice addition!
Accommodations were nice. As the safari was a luxury safari perhaps our expectations in some cases for the accommodation was based on that and hotel standards, so perhaps we did not always agree that they were luxury level, but all-in-all all of the accommodations were good, spacious, neat, food was good and we got a good nights rest. It was definitely something to remember staying for some nights in the tended lodges and heading the lions roaring somewhere afar as you settled down for the night.
It was definitely a trip of a lifetime for our family and brought us memories we will cherish for years to come!

Incredible Safari for our honeymoon
Suricata Safari has been the best partner ever during both planning and execution phase. We have been performing a luxury safari in lodges and tented camps between Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. All the accomodations have been perfect, secure and clean. Also all the meals we got in the middle of the savana have been incredible. Nothing to compare with the most of the other companies that are offering lunch boxes every day making customers annoyed.
Last but not the least our guide Ezekiel has been impressive. He was very skilled in driving and he knows by heart every single spot of all the northern parks. He was able to spot a rhino from more than 500 meters allowing us to complete the big 5 list and he was also able to find the perfect spot far from the most of the cars to let us see the mara river crossing with an incredible view.
I totally suggest you to trust this company.

Excellent Service , Tour Guide and Vehicle
I usually do not write reviews but this is the first exception i am making because of the level of service and commitment shown by Lion King Adventures to make our Tanzania Safari a blockbuster Success. From the day I got connected with Lion King Adventures Nickson , He presented me with the best itinerary and followed through with many of my changes and questions, throughout last one year we talked so many times and he was always there to address my questions and gave me the confidence to travel all the way from US to Tanzania making our Safari a special vacation. . Once we landed as promised the pick up at the Kilimanjaro Airport , the Vehicle provided for Safari and the Guide/Driver (Ozzie) provided was top notch. Special Shout to Our Tour Guide/Driver Ozzie , he was very funny , knowledgable of all Tanzanian Parks and showed us so many different animals at different sightings in our Game drives.
