Excellent Time and Wonderful Tour But a Rocky Start
The vacation was wonderful and the staff in South Africa were helpful. However the staff in the United States was not helpful when I was on the ground in South Africa. They only communicated with one of the travelers (my friend) and did not send me my itinerary until I touched down. I reached out through email while on the long flight to send me my itinerary so that I knew who was meeting me at the airport. This caused problems with meeting the gotouchdown guide on the ground. They also didn't keep my contact information for communication so that the guide could call me in an emergency. I was only given the contact information of the South African contact from my friend who they did keep in contact with. Nonetheless when I was able to get in contact with the SA staff they were responsive and apologetic. However, I ended up spending money on a cab that wasn't needed. After the initial hick-up the trip went smoothly. The resorts were great and the experience on the safaris was life-changing. I would do it again as the resorts and value for the money was excellent. However, I would only work with the South African contacts as they were the best.

Amazing Honeymoon
With African Miles we got the honeymoon that we dreamed. We explained what we wanted and they offered the best travel. The guide was waiting for us in the airport where our adventure started. We visited all the parks with Walanga, an amazing guide that explained all the secrets from the Safari. We could see the big five and much more.

Look No Further
If you're reading this because you are unsure who to book your safari experience with or about doing it, then look no further, you've come to the right place.
This was the easiest and most true to advertisement tour we have ever done. Jong was extremely helpful, fast with communication and clear. Robert was our driver, with a last minute change of drivers he was immediately prepared. Arrived at our hotel on time, answered all questions, stuck to the itinerary to the minute. Extremely professional service from all involved.
We went for the 6 day luxury tour, involving Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. All accommodation, food, and parks were fantastic, it is hard to say which of the places was better. The accommodation was something we worried about, with bugs and safety etc. Jong and Sino will make sure you have nothing to worry about.
We seen the big 5 at least twice each. If I was to go again, I think I would switch out Lake Naivasha for one day more at the other places, reducing the time spent travelling in the vehicle (as you do spend a long time just driving to the parks), as none of the main animals that we wanted to see were here, but going out on the lake with hippos swimming only a few meters away is exhilarating.
Robert gave us the option at the end of the Masai Mara day, a long day, to go to the Masai Mara village. This wasn't on our itinerary and we didn't have the cash (cash only) to go and see the village. We were gutted by this, so if you do go and the itinerary doesn't mention it, have the money ready, $70 USD. Not sure if this was Robert helping us enhance our trip or if it was a mistake in the itinerary missing it, I'm sure whomever your guide is, if you ask to include it on the day, then I'm sure they won't say no.
If you do book up, and I recommend you do, read all of Jongs tips on what to pack and take with you, it is an accurate list, these are very professional and know what they're doing!
Thank you Sino Africa for what has been my best adventure so far, this trip will be hard to beat!

Exceptional Safari Experience
Our experience with Lion King was truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations by far. The whole process was very smooth and everyone at Lion King was so helpful! From James who patiently helped us put together the perfect route, to Rose who helped with our many questions, to Meshack who picked us up at the airport in Arusha to our guide Salehe.
On our five day journey with Salehe, my husband and I had a fantastic experience on our honeymoon. Salehe is a very experienced guide and driver. He made us feel so comfortable, remembering every detail and was able to show us around beautiful Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Central Serengeti. Every day, Salehe discussed with us the planned itinerary and was flexible enough for any requests. The jeep was always clean and prepared with water and drinks. The lunch was one of the daily highlights - Salehe made sure that we always had the best experience (at a picnic site or in the car next to lions). In just five days, we saw the Big 5 and so much more! We can strongly recommend Lion King Adventures and we hope to do a safari with you soon again! Asante sana!

It can't be any better!
Wow, just wow! This company is truly amazing. Founded by a local Tanzanian whose first concern is customer satisfaction. Cars? Perfectly maintained. We saw many other cars break down on the road. Often our tour guide Salehe had to help out as he had the best equipment and skills of all of them. Service? Salehe took care of us every second of the day. He fulfilled all our wishes and didn't forget anything we asked for. Example: I asked him to see a particular tree. One day later he stopped at it and said Michi this is the tree! Even I forgot it at that time. Food? Freshly cooked and more than we could have eaten. Salehe gave the leftovers to local workers. Game drive? Salehe saw animals with his naked eyes that I barely saw with binoculars.
All in all it was worth every penny. Thank you to the whole Lion King Adventures team for making that Safari so exceptional for my wife an me. We had very high expectations and you managed to exceed them! Five stars are not enough for you guys!
Very committed, patient and aggressive person who has client's interest and is available when needed
There was constant communication throughout my travel and I was correctly advised on my tour. I got value for my money and they are very reliable. I strongly recommend Delfin Tours to all travellers

3 days kenya safaris
It was a great experience to do a safari with this company, from the start our trip we had a wonderful experince, it was beyond our exhortations. From the inquiry to the itinerary and to the actual safari we feel that we didn't loose any time. We would recommend anybody to try out flexivel kenya safaris.

Wonderful Safari Experience with Dan!! We'll definitely be back with the group!!
We started our journey being picked-up in Nairobi by our guide and driver Daniel (Dan Kim) who is a very friendly and easy-going person, he made all he could to make us feel at home and know more about the Kenyan culture and animals! Explore Kenya's Staff very responsive to answer any questions I have. The choice of camp (Zebra Plains) was perfect and us being vegetarian the chef made sure we get the food of our choice!!
I highly recommend our guide Dan Kim. I was constantly amazed at Dan's knowledge about animals and with how well he was able to spot animals from a distance. He got us up very close to the animals too, and managed to do so without disturbing them and follow the park rules. Overall this was an amazing experience!

Top Safari - Strongly Recommend
We had an amazing trip with Suricata tours. Our tour guide Floridi and chef Ben helped make the unbelievable trip. Floridi went above and beyond to allow us to maximise what we could see on our 4 day trip which included all of the big 5 amongst many other amazing landscapes and animal sightings. Would strongly recommend suricata safaris as they had great value for money, very good food and an all round top experience.
