Best experience ever!
We had an amazing Safari with Mdee through Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. We saw so many incredible animals, highlights including a baby rhino, lions eating prey, and lions and elephants only a couple of metres away!! Mdee was so helpful and knowledgable with all the animals, we were able to tailor or trip as we wanted. He was a great guide, would absolutely recommend !

Friendly, responsive, professional, Afrishare made our family’s safari dreams a reality.
Our safari with Afrishare was nothing short of spectacular. I have done safaris in six other countries previously, and this one quickly rose to the top of my list. From customizing our itinerary to the bargain pricing, it was easy to choose. But we got so much out of it than we bargained for - comfortable accommodations, a top-notch guide (Rama!), and tons of animals (big 5 plus others). This was the first time for my sister and nephew to go on safari and I wanted to make sure they had the best experience possible - Afrishare delivered more than I could have asked for. So grateful for the kind, dedicated and professional staff at Afrishare for making it happen. Highly recommend booking with Afrishare for an exquisite experience. Thank you so much!

Excellent private Kampala city tour - individually tailored to our needs - very informative and fun
We, a group of seven adults, had a pretty good idea of how our guided Kampala city tour should look like (exact time frame, downtown and Nakasero Market walk, old taxi park and a typical Kampala food lunch place to round off our Kampala experience.
Rwizi Africa Expeditions exactly delivered a private tailormade tour according to our preferences. With Adrine, we had a great guide. She walked us very professionally through downtown Kampala which turned out to be a very informative and fun experience.
The price was absolutely reasonable and worth the tour.
Communication upfront with Rwizi Africa Expeditions was easy, professional, reliable, and responsive. Our guide Adrine was very communicative, knowledgeable, and fun to have with us in our group.
We would be glad to use the services of Rwizi Africa Expedition and Adrine any time again and do gladly recommend same to anybody interested.

Incredible experience and outstanding service, highly recommended
Wow, I don’t even know where to begin. Everything about Lion King Adventure has been absolutely outstanding. From the very beginning preparing the quote for us, we contacted 2 other agencies but we could immediately tell this was going to be the best. The quote was clear and very detailed. Our trip was beyond amazing. They take care of EVERYTHING down to the smallest details. I’ll try and recap the main highlights
- Pre-departure: they gave us very detailed and clear information about the trip, including all we needed to prep (clothes, vaccination, weather and other tips). I didn’t have to look anything up on my own, they provided it all. And all questions were answered in less than 24 hours (accounting for time zone)
- arrivals: super easy pick up at airport.
- lodges and accommodations: incredible! All places we went to were way beyond our expectations. Incredible service from everyone. I particularly loved the fact that all lodges were locally owned and supporting the local communities. I could also tell that we got some special treatments for being with Lion King, such as preferential check in, and warm packed meals for our lunches (instead of cold lunch packs). We saw everyone packing their own lunch in the morning but we never had to worry about that. Our guide took care of it all and it was all warm food, a whole spread! I would have never found these incredible lodges on my own.
- safari experience: this is a private experience so it was just me and my husband on the whole trip with our own dedicated guide for the whole trip. The cars were really cool and clean, with all you need including chargers and cooler for drinks. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Everything was just a dream. I never thought we woudl be able to see animals so up close! And we always felt perfectly safe with our guide.
- guide: I cannot recommend Shafino enough. He was absolutely incredible and went above and beyond! He effortlessly drove around hard terrain while also spotting wildlife. He was incredibly knowledgeable, with so many facts about each animal, there was no question he couldn’t answer. We had really long days and he never delivers anything less than top level service. Thanks to his incredible amount of effort and expertise, we were able to spot ALL big 5 (including 4 rhinos!!) and other rare animals such as Serval cats and Caracals. We also witnessed lions with a fresh kill and others mating. He drove for hours to make sure we would see each animal on our list. He also had great tips about how to take photos (very useful for newbie photographers like us) and would move the car around to help us get the best shot. I would definitely recommend Shafino as your guide!
Overall, I know there are a lot of agencies to choose from but I’m so happy with Lion King and would (and will!) book with them again. The level of service, professionalism, safety, cleanliness (Shafino cleaned our car every night!), attention to detail cannot be beat. A safari is for lost a once in a lifetime experience, so it’s important to book with the best, and both Lion King and Shafino were hands down the best in the business!

Outstanding safari experience
We have recently returned from a 3 day safari to Mikumi national park with going green safaris. The trip was excellent value for money considering it was a private tour taking in two nights lodge accommodations with all food included.
The safari itself was excellent. The savannah was simply beautiful and we saw many animals including Lions, Giraffe, Elephants, Hippos, Crocodiles, Zebras plus many more…
We would recommend booking with Going green. Their communication and flexibility is second to none.
Thankyou.

Shafino is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about all things Tanzania and Africa.
Lion King Adventures made what is an amazing experience of going on a safari all the more incredible, going above and beyond in every facet.
They have prepared everything you need as you progress through your safari adventure, making everything seem less and stress free. They handle all the park permits, packing of lunches, obviously the driving to and from all location, and so much more. Their recommendations for lodges during our visit couldn’t have been better as each night was spent at amazing locations with the best and friend listed staff.
We couldn’t have been paired with a more incredible guide in Shafino, who shared great knowledge of all things Tanzania and Africa. His passion and pride in what he does and knows, we appreciated the wealth of knowledge he passed along to us during our journey over 4 days, whether it be the animals, plants, the land, people, and culture. There wasn’t a question we asked that wasn’t able to be answered and will go home with more knowledge than we could’ve imagined. His keen eye on the landscape and masterful driving helped set up amazing photos and memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Lion King adventures lives up to their name, in that they are the king and top of the line in your safari expedition needs.

Professional
We were a group of four who immensely enjoyed our 3-day safari - at all levels, really.
Communication with Viva Safaris via email, pick-up and transport from airport hotel to Tremisana Lodge + the Kruger Park.
The absolute highlights: the evening drive, the full day in the Kruger and the Blyde River Canyon stop.

Amazing Program, extremely reliable, top Luxury Camps at a very faire price!
Dancing Simba was the first one who responded to our quote. We were convinced from the very beginning as we felt very well understood and the offere was extremely good at a very faire price. All the questions we had and additional information needed were answered instantly by David personally. Our driver and guide, Ombeni (Praise) is very knowledgeable, friendly and caring. As we both are very passionate fotographers he always found the right spot to take picutes in the perfect light. We were always served a really nice lunch, delivered in pans and served on plates. It was not just an out of the box pic-nic.
We can 200% recommend Dancing Simba.
