Beyond perfection!
We are just back from an absolutely magical twelve-day trip to the parks of Northern Tanzania. The services provided by Lion King Adventures exceeded all our expectations (and we tend to be demanding customers!). We had a totally smooth and beautifully organised trip, perfectly adjusted to our needs and tastes. We were blessed with an exceptionally talented and experienced guide. A real expert in wildlife, he also knew how to proactively adjust the programme and rythm of the trip to our preferences. Friendly and witty, he proved remarkably thoughtful at all times, taking advantage of his thorough knowledge of the area to propose practical solutions to make the trip even more enjoyable to us. In particular, we insisted on exclusivity and privacy, not wanting to be disturbed by crowds of other tourists during our encounters with animals: our guide managed to meet this demand, which was quite an achievement in parks that tend to be very popular. He had a well informed and sensible answer to each and every question we asked (and we asked a lot, being curious about the wildlife as well as the country). Our guide was receiving an effective back-up from the headquarters of Lion King Adventures, with which he remained in constant close contact to arrange security and logistical details in real time. We always felt safe, considered and taken care of, which enabled us to fully relax and enjoy the experience of these unique parks. As a result, several moments of the trip were simply unforgettable, like Northern Serengeti, Lake Eyasi and Tarangire. The services in Arusha at the beginning and the end of our trip were also excellent: the company met our last minute requests without delay and at no additional cost, which was one last nice surprise. From an ethical viewpoint, we appreciated the commitment of Lion King Adventures to the environment, to their country and people, and to the standards of responsible tourism. Were I to go back to Tanzania, I would directly contact Lion King Adventures, not bothering to ask other tour operators: the company’s reliability, level of service and professionalism can hardly be surpassed.

Very friendly and accommodating!
The Safari to Tarangire reached beyond my expectations.
First of all, the communication with the operator Jonas went smooth and easily and he has put lot’s of effort to organise the entry permit quickly, since we decided very spontaneously to go on Safari.
We didn’t miss anything on that day. The driver was super keen to share his knowledge on all types of animals regarding birds, termites and of course about the wide range of mammals.
It has been super fun driving with the open deck on the safari car, to fully experience the blatant heat of Tarangire and see the animals to their fullest extent.
The money was so much worth it, and I would even recommend to go at least three days!
Thank you so much for this unforgettable day!

Excedeed our expectation
To begin, comunication with Lomo Safari was super helpful in fulfilling our needs and wishes.
We took 3day Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara NP tour. Day before our trip the chief of Lomo Safari visited us and we run through entire itinerary and tuned small details.
Starting the first day of the trip, we met our driver Rahim and the car we went with. I would like to appreciate the condtition and equipment of the car. There is a WiFi onboard, you can charge your gadgets aswell and there was a fridge with refresments and snacks.
As for the each of the parks we were very lucky seeing so many animals we couldn't even imagine, some far, some very close to vehicle.
Each day Rahim set us a pre-made lunch which was super delicious everytime. You can choose whether you want to dine the proper way with plates and cutlery or to have a lunch box. Also big thanks to Rahim who did everything to our please, his knowledge was superb and we learned so much about Tanzania fauna and flora.
Overall I would like to the thank the Lomo Safari, Erasto and Rahim for wonderfull experience which we are lucky to have. We really enjoyed our stay at safari and sure will do recommend to our friends.

The contact with the Company was simple and Good. They responded to our questions really quickly.
We did a 7-Day Safari with our guide Edward. He is a very nice and experienced guy. When we met other Safari tourists in the evening, they often didn‘t saw the same stuff and locations we did because Edward knows the parks and the good places. He also answered every question very nicely.
The value for money in my eyes was very good and the Company is very reliable.
I would recommend the Company and especially Edward anytime.

What an incredible Tour That I will never forget!!!
The 7 Day Safari was amazing.
Our guide Edward was the true hero!
He drove us safely through the country of Kenya and on the game drive he showed his talents - guiding us to the Big 5, being very very close to them and he was listening to our whishes and Made them come True.
All in all - an incredible experience That i will Never forget.

Very good service and Martin is the best driver. Mica was also very helpful.
There are too many options online for a safari operator and we were very confused but we just decided to go with Okoa Africa tours and we are really satisfied and happy with their services. My daughter planned the whole trip within a period of not even 3 weeks but it all worked out fine. We took a private safari and had no problem whatsoever. We got in touch with Mica first and Martin is the driver who was with us for the safari. His driving is excellent and he really knows it all. I would highly recommend Okoa for a safari in Kenya. Hope this review will help travelers to find a safari operator.
A very friendly country with some amazing sunsets and animals
We had a really great holiday particularly in the parks and getting so close to the animals. The people we met - in airports, shops, hotels, taxis, parks and other attractions - were really welcoming and helpful. It was lovely to find out so much about this country. We liked sitting in the peace and quiet of Thornicroft Lodge near South Luangwa park, watching the animals across the river and listening to the hippos in the river. We also enjoyed Victoria Falls although October is not the best time to visit here (water is getting low). The sunset cruise on the Zambezi from Victoria Falls Waterfront was really good and the sunset unmatched. We ate some delicious food during our stay and the local beer was good too. All in all a very memorable holiday.

Best experience of my life.
Turned 21 years old in 1974 in my home state of California. I took a Kimbla Safari tour originating in London and first flew to Cairo for 2 weeks in Egypt being part of the tour. Then to Nairobi where 15 of us from all over the world were greeted by our guide and driver Malcolm in a 3 ton 4wd Bedford Troop transport which became our home base for the next several weeks (Çamping Safari) Started in Kenya and ended in Johannesburg. 6000 Miles overland. We zig zaged southward stopping at many lodges and reserves along the way and used their campgrounds, bars, and facilities, although did most of our own cooking, taking turns cooking for the group. The most memorable places were amboselli, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crator, and the pristine coast and beaches of Tanzania and of course Victoria Falls. The trip of a lifetime. Thank you Kimbla. I could write in detail for hours but not today. 69 years old and still have many vivid memories

Fantastic 10 day Kenya tour
My partner and I just returned from a 10 day/9 night safari to 5 different parks (Amboseli, Tsavo East, Lake Navaisha, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara). Right from the start Joel made the planning process incredibly easy. He was so helpful at arranging our itinerary so we could make the most of our time. Originally we had this trip booked for January of 2022 but since Covid flared up again, we decided to reschedule for September and Joel easily made that happen.
For the 10 days we were with our guide/driver, Kephar and he was so lovely! He was very knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions, and had incredible driving skills! All 5 of our stops were so different and had something special to offer, we wouldn’t have changed a thing. Our accommodations were all very comfortable with nice meals. This was truly the trip of a lifetime!
