Great tour with best services
We had really good time with Ngunda. He took me and my familly to Mikumi national park for 3 days where we saw many different animals within park and on the way there. We booked as a private tour and everything run smoothly since pick up from the airport and return. The lodge we stayed in was perfect for me and our kids. I must also mention the good price so I strongly recommend to book with Obag African Safaris. Ngunda is a great guide!
Hope to come back again!

Great Guide!
I need to distinct two aspects: the guide and the office.
Our guide, Roni, was great! We felt safe and taken cere of very well. He told us a lot about visited places and seen animals. I can totally recommend Roni :)
The office of Karibu was just ok. We were supposed to take a joining safari but last minute it turned out that we will go alone - we planned to go to Mombasa after safari so if we knew that it would be private we would go first to Nakuru, then to Amboselli. It also turned out that in Nakuru there are just a few flamingos - we actually went there to see those birds, it would be nice of the office if they could inform us and offer other destination to see flamingos instead. So my only wishes about the office is for them to be a bit more proactive to suggest clients the best options. Anyway, it was fine :) I can recommend the office as well, just ask losts of questions before booking :)

What an adventure
We met Marko (the founder of African Traces) at our hostel. He immediately came across as professional and sincere, and turned out to be. Marko put together a team within a day to do the 7-day Machame route to the top of Kilimanjaro with us and helped us with the final preparations. He himself took us to the gate where we met (the rest) of our crew and started our journey. It was both beautiful and tough but our guides - Jackson, Prospa and James - helped us through everything. They also kept a close eye on our health. This gave a safe feeling. Once back down, Marko was there again to pick us up and celebrate the adventure and life together. So much respect for how hard these men work. Be aware that most of what you pay goes to the National Park and they have to get it from your tip.

7 Day trip to Masai Mara and Amboseli
My family and I were very pleased with the services of Africa Flash McTours and Travel during our trip to Masai Mara and Amboseli. Right from setting up the itinerary to its execution, everything was organized perfectly. Though our trip was not finalized till the last minute due to COVID regulation, Peter was helpful right from the beginning, three months in advance, answering to my emails and messages. At no point I felt that he was not cooperating considering that there was no guarantee of our safari. While booking hotels, he ensured that my request for wheelchair assistance rooms were considered. Weekend was not an issue with him. He was available 24/7. He even helped us in getting our Kenya visa when my online visa agent did not respond to my calls in spite paying full amount in advance. Without Peter’s help our trip would not have taken place.
Peter has an excellent team especially his tour guide Simon. We had an amazing experience with Simon. He went above and beyond as our guide. His knowledge and experience in the parks helped us see all the major animals. He was also extremely patient and courteous, especially since we had someone who needed a wheelchair. He was always punctual and made sure we left early for all the safaris. Being young, he had the same enthusiasm as a normal tourist would have and went beyond his limits to make sure that we get an unforgettable safari experience.

A Safari that will leave you in awe
The 7 day Safari organized by Aenea and his team was beyond fantastic. Our guide, Kelly contributed greatly to making this an unforgettable experience! His eyes are sharper then that of an eagle’s, capable of identifying animals from miles away. His patience, persistence and passion for his work is admirable and his knowledge about all things is remarkable. If you only do one safari in your life, I highly recommend this one!

Wonderful
The services were great. Everything was made smooth by the tour operators. I really had fun and enjoyed my time to the fullest.
Excellent!
The guys are extremely professional and trustworthy. My only regret is that I went only for a 2 days safari with them and not 3 or 4. The guides were wonderful, the cars clean and comfy, the game drive was amazing and they made sure we saw as many animals as possible. They provided us with good insights and information about the environment and the animals which made the experience even more amazing. I will never forget this experience and I definitely recommend that if you go for a safari you do it with Suricata.
P.S I love the name of the company. :))

Excellent Safari!!
We did a 8 day private safari end of october 2021 in northern tanzania with Lion King Adventures. It was our first safari and first visit to Sub-Saharan Africa and also it was the first time for us to book directly online via a local travel agency and not through a well known travel agent in our home country Switzerland, so we weren‘t quite sure what to expect. However, we decided to do so and it was the best decicion ever! So here’s my evaluation:
- great communication (whatsapp and email), very quick to answer, even on weekends and evenings, very friendly, open, forthcoming and uncomplicated
-knowledge: help with creating the itinery / choosing the lodges was superb, good overall guiding, very helpful pre departure information (do’s and dont’s, what clothes to bring etc)
- airport pick up on arrival was on time (our flight was a bit early but our guide was already there so we didn‘t have to wait), very warmhearted welcome
- safari car was excellent: very comfortable seats, even on the partly very bumpy roads, easy to open rooftop, fridge with water, soft drinks, beer, possibility to lift your legs up if needed ;)
- our guide was amazing (Gilbert), very friendly and funny, very flexible, showed and explained us a lot about the nature/animals, excellent english
-feedback: we appreciated it a lot that we met James, the owner of the company before and after the safari to provide our personal feedbacks about the safari tour. He is a very good guy and really makes an effort to achieve the best customer satisfaction possible.
-little extras: two sets of Binoculars were provided for us for free upon asking in advance. There were two bottles of „welcome wine“ with our names on the etiquette in the safari car, so nice! We always had hot lunches transported in reusable pots to reduce waste (which I think was great). Whenever we came in an area crowded with tsetse flys our guide told us in advance to put anti insect repellent, and many more!
All in all there was nothing amiss and we were super happy with our safari and would definitively book with lion king adventures again!
Thank you very much!!!

He was so kind, with a good sense of humour and an understanding attitude to the tourists questions.
The company services are amaizing, they are so caring and they ensure great security at all times when taking tours. The communication with Jackson was amaizing he was always of a great help to us.
I recommend topy tours to all travelers.
