Well organised, trustworthy company with amazing friendly staff!
Such a brilliant company! Ibrahim was great dealing with all of our questions and making sure everything was organised. This put our minds to rest before our trip even started.
Hadji, our guide was amazing. He is knowledgeable about the animals and the environment and he made our trip. Without him I don’t think we would have enjoyed our safari as much as we did. He was always so happy and nothing was ever to much trouble for him. We spent 6 days on safari with him and we feel as though we have made a good friend in Hadji. With him, we were able to see more than we hoped we would see. If you have Hadji as your safari guide, you are very lucky!!

Unforgettable experience
We have just made a 7-day Safari with Lion King adventures . The experience has been very satisfactory in all aspects. Regarding the organization, the Lion King Staff was able to organize a tailor-made trip just 3 days in advance(!).Our driver & guide, David , spokes Spanish fluently.This is a bonus value, as many Spanish people visit Tanzania.
It was a 7-day Safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. The type of Safari included hotel accommodation, camping site with cabins and camping with tents in the camping areas of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. The agency provided the camping equipment. The vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser had a lifting roof to facilitate the observation of animals, plugs with AC supply and USB port for charging batteries and electronic accessories and refrigerator, as well as enough the for luggage.
In addition to the driver-guide David, we were accompanied by a chef, Yusuphu, who prepared breakfast, dinner and picnic meals daily.
David is a great professional, with the qualities of a safari guide: knowledge of the terrain, animal behaviour and enough patience. We were fortunate to watch many wild animals, including leopards, cheetahs and lions that inhabit the trees of the Manyara park. There really are no words to describe the beauty of landscapes; The 4 parks we visited were very different although they had wildlife in common.
It is admirable how Yusuphu was able to prepare fantastic meals with very limited items and without repeating the menu. Few things are better than a splendid dinner after a day of safari.
It is necessary to highlight the organization of the national parks of Tanzania, with an excellent care of the surroundings, many rest areas where the state and the cleanliness of the facilities is excellent, including the bathrooms so for public use.
The attention and treatment received from David and Yusuphu have been top.
Taking a trip like this is an unforgettable experience, which has been possible thanks to Lion King adventures.

Amazing Safari with Planet Africa Safari
Thanks to Planet Africa Safari, we organized our amazing honeymoon in Tanzania (10 days in the mainland, 8 days in Zanzibar). We stayed in 3 different Asilia Africa's lodges: Oliver's camp in Tarangire, the Highlands in the Ngorongoro and Ubunti in the Northern Serengeti. We also stayed in other two amazing lodges partnering with Asilia, Kisima Ngeda in Lake Eyasi and Plantation Lodge in Lake Manyara. In Zanzibar, we stayed at the amazing Xanadu Private Villas.
Overall, we could not recommend more Planet Africa! The accommodations exceeded all our expectations (we are talking about luxury lodges or tents) and the organization was simply phenomenal: superb guides (with great knowledge and experience) and lovely camp staff!
I would definitely recommend 100 times Planet Africa!

What a Fantastic Trip
Stunning Safari, nothing was too much trouble and everything went very smoothly. Thanks to Ben and Aurélie for all the preparation, guidance and planning which ensured we had a fantastic safari followed by a relaxing break in Zanzibar. We were collected from Nairobi, and our guide Jonathan Maina, went out of his way to ensure had a fantastic few days at Old Peteta Sweetwaters Conservancy, proving to be really knowledgeable about the animals and surrounding area. Everything was well planned and we thoroughly enjoyed the game drives. We then moved onto Maasai Mara where Benard Njinu was equally skilled at keeping us informed about the large variety of wildlife and was great at locating the animals when we would have missed them. We stayed at the Eden Camp, which was great, with Hippos wallowing in the nearby river. Again nothing was too much trouble. It was sad to move on, but a week relaxing in Zanzibar before leaving for the UK was a great way to finish the holiday
I can't praise the whole experience highly enough, everything was organised for us with us only booking flights to and from the UK. I would recommend E-Trip Africa to anyone and hope to do a further trip with them before very long.

Super Amazing Trip to Kenya
Every detail of our trip to Kenya was taken care of with great detail by Daniel. All our accommodations were outstanding especially in Maasai Mara.
We were very fortunate to have Tony as our guide. We saw the "Big Five" several times over. Tony spotted animals for us at amazing distances and drove as close as possible, taking into consideration the light and angles, so we could take really good photos. He was super knowledgeable, professional and at the same time very friendly. We always felt safe and at home with him. We have so many great memories! Transtrek Safari made our experience in Kenya an amazing one. We have no hesitation in recommending them.

If problems come up they just ignore you
We booked the 10 day tour that includes safaris at Kenya and Tanzania. The only positive thing that has happened with this agency was that we had Aruni the first three days as a driver (he was 10/10). But, since the beginning, the programme you are supposed to follow is not followed at all, and they skip several game drives during those 10 days. Our big problem with the agency began when we arrived to Tanzania and we tried to contact to the agency because again they were skiping the morning game drive at Manyara Lake. Although at the beginning they answered back, they did not give me any solution, and that same day they did not amswered until now. They were supposed to provide me a transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport the last day (paying 40 dolar). I messeged them by WhatsApp to see if finally they will provide it or not. They did not answered. I asked then the Tanzanian agency with which they cooperate and the said that they will arrange the transfer for the airport for me. Suddenly, when I was expecting to pay for that transfer, our guide and driver at Tanzania, Joseph, said that his boss wanted to talk to me by the mobile. His boss told me that Karibu would aford the payment of the transfer to the airport, although personal of Karibu did not inform me about that by WhatsApp. They were supposed to pick us up at 4:30 am. Noone appeared at the hotel. At 4:45 am we calles for a taxi. I have contacte to the hotel once we have arrived to Zanzibar and they have confirmed that no driver went to the hotel. This agency is no serious, so don't waste your money with them. Some times low proceso become expensive and a headache!

Trip of a Lifetime
This was truly a trip of a lifetime. Liz worked with me to select the perfect trip and activities for my husband and I. I can only describe Zambezi Safari and Travel Victoria Office staff (Liz, Chris and Jane) as professional, courteous, prompt and patient. We truly enjoyed working with them. Our trip to Zambabwe, Botswana and South Africa was perfect!

Wonderful experience
The communication with Roho Ya Chui was very good. They are very quickly to answer our questions and at the time you make contact via e-mail or WhatsApp they return to me. The service is the best. I don’t have any prior recomendation of that company but I confirm that they are serious and reliable. Everything was very good: the transfer, the Safari,,the lodge, the Guide. I recomend this company.

Excellent arrangements, exceeded all expectations
Bestday Safaris organized a seven-day safari for me and my mother. Since this is my third safari, I had high expectations and I'm pleased that the Bestday team delivered. I'm grateful to Peter Charles for putting together an excellent team whose members are all professional, efficient, kind, and environmentally-conscious. Our guide Jackson is excellent, dynamic, knowledgeable and worked hard throughout the trip. He has collegial relationship with other guides, national park and hotel/camp staff which without a doubt enriched the whole safari experience. Amongst all his good qualities, he ensured that my 70-year old mom felt comfortable and well-taken care of all throughout the trip. My mother and I very much liked staying at Tukaone, a charming tented camp in central Serengeti which is owned by Bestday. I'm already saving for my next safari with Bestday!
