The most knowledgeable and professional sales person ever!
I booked a trip to Botswana for June '21 for my family.
The amazing & super quick responses from Shaun at Shaun Stanley's Safaris were spot on AT ALL TIMES! His knowledge and big experience in this continent is indescribable!
I had lots of questions as it was my first time visiting this country but it did not disappoint ... I followed his advice and tricks and everything went so smoothly. Specially in this pandemic time where we have so many challenges I can strongly recommend this company and definitely will come back to Stanley Safaris on my next adventure to Africa. Thanks!

Richard is a thief, do not trust this company.
This is NOT a safari company, it is a huckster with a website. Richard insists on money wires in advance but then doesn’t deliver on any of his contracts. He offers nothing but lies, abuse, and third-rate accommodations. After scamming my group for thousands of dollars, I am infuriated to see that people are continuing to try to book tours through him! DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER CALLING THIS COMPANY unless you want to lose money and have your trip ruined. We had to pay for almost our entire trip twice since he took our money but didn’t pay any of the parks or hotels we were supposed to visit. He belongs in jail, I’d love to know how he got out, but hopefully he will end up back there soon enough.

Top class company to experience the beauty of Rwanda with well spoken & informed drivers / guides
Frank and his team serves a high quality experience end-to-end, that easily outperforms 5 star experiences around the world. His team is flexible, egaging, well educated, well informed, enthusiastic, and with access to high quality resources across Rwanda. We had top vehicles, amazing drivers / guides, and were able to discover the beauties of Rwanda as well as get to know its history & past challenges in an unforgettable manner. Frank & his team can manage large groups with kids in a professional, kind and easy way. Highly recommended and hoping to travel with Golden Rwanda again

Unbeatable safari experience
We had a great safari expereince in Kenya. We loved thew hotel option suggested to us, the service was great also as our driver guide treated us like his family friend. We enjoyed Masai and community visit. The itineraty was well planned and special thanks to our safari specilist Vincent.

Excelent
A fabulous experience from the Lion King Adventures team.
One of the most important things that you have to know about them is that they offer an excellent service, you will not be disappointed.
Nick and Pendo helped a lot in building the itinerary at the beginning and arranged everything before the start of the Safari. They helped us in making the right choices for the lodges and adapted the schedule to our needs. Most of the companies are not so flexbile and they work on the "take it or leave it principle" whereas Lion King really wanted to listen and fulfill our needs. Great job!
Once we had that sorted out and we started the Safari, Abu (our guide) took the lead and he was as fantastic as Nick and Pendo. Again, very flexible, knowledgeable, he told us tons of stories about animals, safari or the history of Tanzania, really a joy to talk to him. He helped us with spotting the animals or the birds as well which made our life way easier. This guy was awesome!
As we took also a 1 day hike on Kilimanjaro we had the opportunity to meet with Saladin (our mountain guide and for sure our lead for the Kili trip) and again, a great person. Very knowledgeable, he shared tons of info about the mountain, how to climb Kili and about flora and fauna, we learned so much from him as well.
Overall these people are incredible! They try to satisfy all your requirements while keeping a good margin for them as well, the guides are giving 200% in sharing the knowledge and making sure you feel great during the journey from every aspect from driving, guiding to adapting the schedule when it's needed and always being flexible.
I have rarely had such a good and pro service from a company and I have rarely seen so many dedicated people in one place. Congrats to James, the owner of the company, to whom we gave one advice:Keep these people together!
Lastly:
- the car is well-equipped for the Safari and comfortable
- the food offered by Lion King during the safari is more than sandwiches, you get real hot meals, coffee, tea, water, beer
- the lodges have a good to excellent standard of service and certainly above what I did see in other places in Tanzania
- Abu washed the car almost every day, it was so spotless. We did not ask for it, but we were impressed by the fact that he did this.
- The only suggestion that I would make is to offer the possibility to have also 1 meal with local Tanzanian food (the food we got during the trip was very good and tasty but mostly European/US food and I was very curious to eat some Tanzanian food as well)
- there is little that I can say more, just use this company to have a wonderful time while in Tanzania, I for sure will come back to do a Kilimanjaro trek with them.

Massive knowledge of East Africa and it attractions, Best tour guides as well.
Took us around almost all of East Africa in two weeks. Beach, Coastline, Kidepo, Maasai Mara and Serengeti, we did it all and more. Their charges are pocket friendly as well. The adventure of the seven islands in watamu blew our minds away. Will definitely bring my family along next time.
