Outstanding 4 day tour of Tanzanias national parks
What an incredible 4 day safari with Suricati safaris! Just as advertised- airport pickup at Arusha, overnight stay at Summit Lodge, then a 4 day guided tour through Tarangire, the Serengeti, and the Ngorogoro crater/caldera. Our guide Ezekiel was oustanding! A trained guide in wildlife management, no question was too difficult (and we asked a lot- including the 5 and 11 year olds!). We felt completely safe and entertained throughout the safari, with magical stays in excellent safari lodges (Baghayo, Serengeti Heritage, and Ngorogoro Angata camp). Hilary was exceptional throughout, with quick and timely responses by email and 100% transparency throughout. Hope to do this again if we can with Suricati Safaris!

Amazing
Our safari with Lion King was a dream. Gilbert was our guide and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable on all animals and geography. He was funny and pleasant to be around. The Safari with Gilbert as our tour guide was definitely worth the money. If you book with Lion King request Gilbert!

Karina was loverly to work with - SUPER responsive, friendly, and offered expert expert guidance!
We had a wonderful experience in the planning of our Safari and had an absolutely FANTASTIC holiday!
We started planning our Safari with Karina in the fall of 2020, ever hopeful the pandemic would be waning and vaccinations fast and efficiently administered. Well that didn't quite happen and our plans for 2021 had to be rescheduled for 2022.
Karina was SUPER helpful, responsive, and helped us plan what felt like a 5 star vacation on maybe a 3 star budget. Her follow through on communications was superb. Her advice was spot on. Her patience , humor and caring on display.
We consider ourselves to be so very lucky we accidentally fell in with her after reading some reviews of Safari-online.com and deciding to plan our our trip in this way. We were especially happy to get to meet her at the Peech hotel where we were staying for the last few days of our trip. She went out of her way to stop by and say hello.
From start to finish we couldn't have been happier. All of the accommodations were clean, stylish and comfortable. The food was good (sometimes great!) and our Safari guides were SUPER knowledgeable, skilled, helpful and fun - all very nice folks! It was a great trip, a great value for the money. Karina helped us to make the best choices for our priorities. She's wonderful and we would recommend Safari-online.com and her to anyone and everyone.
Top Notch! Well organized (made it so easy!) and flexible too with a high level of expertise. Kudos to all! And MANY THANKS! P.S. - we saw all the BIG 5! - and so many many more - it was uh-MAZING!

Sebastian and his friends - GREAT!
What Sebastian and his team organised for us was simply fantastic and absolutely exceeded our high expectations. Thanks to you! Sebastian is always available, listens carefully and has put together a 9-day photo safari for us, which has taken into account all our wishes. Already the day before the start of the safari Sebastian came to us in Hotel in Arusha, discussed the last open questions and prepared us for an incredible experience. The next morning we were able to meet our guide and driver Joakim. Ten to twelve hours a day on game viewing tour, just the right wonderful accommodations, fresh coffee, water, Cola Zero and Sprite on the tours, great meal together in the bush, time to really observe the animals, three hours drive through the savannah without meeting another car, jogging on the border to Kenya in the morning, being able to ask any question, to feel at home without limits, to find exactly the right location for the photo and to laugh a lot together. What Sebastian and his team make possible is unbelievable - we will come back to you! Thank you for these impressions and experiences.

Holiday of a lifetime
We had a fabulous safari with Sammie as our guide. He picked us up in Nairobi and took us to Naivasha, Nakuru and the Masai Mara. He was professional and courteous and we felt that we were in very safe hands throughout our trip. He took into account our needs as a multi-generational group and was respectful of the wildlife, knowing always where best to spot the animals. He was very patient with my son asking him endless questions and always had a good answer.

Unforgettable experience. Brilliant company. Exceptional guide.
Lion King and our guide Immanuel have helped to make our last 6 days on Safari in Tanzania an absolutely unforgettable experience.
The Company:
From the moment we enquired with Lion King, they have been brilliant. They have answered emails promptly (thanks to the admin team - Nickson and Rose in particular), and accommodated every request and change we made to the itinerary. Spending such a large amount of money on a holiday abroad when you've never actually seen the company is daunting, but I cannot vouch for Lion King enough. They have proven themselves again and again. Transfers from the airports were smooth, and all of our accommodation and admin was handled brilliantly. Even down to the finer details, like walking you step by step through the payment process (very scary!) and the pre-depature documents needed like healthchecks and visas, the admin team were faultless.
Our guide:
What can we say about our guide Immanuel... Not only was he an absolute legend to be around, but he made sure that we had the very best time possible. He was attentive to all of our needs, going that extra mile to do little things that made our trip extremely special. We have honestly loved spending time with Immanuel. He went through the plan for each day, and explained in detail what we were looking out for. On game drives, Immanuel navigated around the parks fantastically, and was able to provide expert explanations for all of the animals we saw. Immanuel went above and beyond in every way (serving us lunch from lovely cutlery and croquery when other groups had cardboard boxes, ensuring we were checked in at each new venue, and taking any photos we needed, just to name a few things!). During a trip to the Ngororo Crater, Immanuel set up a lovely picnic lunch with a table and chairs, and created a really special memory that we'll treasure forever.
Even after a long day of driving, Immanuel took the time to ensure our jeep was clean and fresh, ready for the next day. Also, Immanuel's intuition behind the wheel and using the radio system meant that we got to see way more than other groups might have who didn't have the same expertise as us - things like a group of cheetahs (very rare), and even lions taking down a gazelle.
You spend a lot of time with your guide, so it's important that you get a good one. And, thankfully for us, Immanuel was faultless. I can honestly say we couldn't have wished for anyone better. Not only have we made countless memories that we'll never forget, but also a friend. Our Tanzanian Rafiki. Hopefully it won't be too long till we see you again.
Thanks Lion King and of course, Immanuel. We would not hesitate to recommend you as THE company for anyone looking to do an unforgettable Safari experience.

Incredible Safari
An incredible experience!!!!
The interaction with the company was impeccable. They answered all our questions and helped whenever we asked.
Our guide Simon was tireless. He managed to show all the animals I was expecting and a few more. In addition to helping me take amazing photos on my phone.
Our cook was Action. We asked him to make traditional food and it was very good.
Please do not ignore the company's warnings about how cold it is at night in Ngorongoro.

Dream tour with perfect service
It was perfectly organised trip, we would like to say biggest Thank you to all the team of Spirit of Kenya. The tour was individual, the guide speaks fluent English and was very attentive and polite. We saw many animals, including even lion hunting, cheetahs, leopard, elephants, hippos, giraffes, etc. In hotels, we lived in villas where zebras and monkeys came. For 5 days we got a lot of unforgettable impressions.

Incredible Experience
What an amazing experience! We were a group of five people from Portugal and we all absolutely loved it. Simon was our guide and he was excellent - Good driver, good teacher and a really funny guy. He maged to show us a lot, there was nothing we would like to see and we didn't...we have seen the big five in 1 day!
The car was great, it had all the conditions, including plugs to charge our fones/devices.
The experience in the tends was good, but be aware it can get very cold in Ngorongoro camping park. And a warm shower won't be possible everytime...
Action was our cooker and I have to say I really enjoyed every meal.
Overall I had a incredible experience and totally recommend Safari Soles Tours.
