dedicated, friendly, reliable, truly professional, in one word excellent !
We booked a private 5 Days Mid-Range Safari with Lion King Adventures and turned out to be one of the best vacation ever. It was our first safari and we were very excited about it.
Our 5-day adventure included Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and Lake Manyara National Park. The itinerary was well organized to maximize time in the parks.
When we started researching safari in Tanzania, we discovered that there were many operators, with the most varied offers. We started reading reviews, many reviews, and sent emails to several operators.
In the end, we chose Lion King Adventures because it seemed to us the most reliable, the most serious, with the best team, with very good and very well maintained cars (believe me, we saw so many broken cars down on the side of the road). And we certainly made the best possible choice!
A big role in choosing Lion King Adventures, in addition to the reviews read, was the professionalism of Edward Elias (the first member of Lion King we came into contact with), who answered us very promptly to absolutely all the questions we had (and we had many), explained to us the program clearly and in detail, offered us suggestions and guided us with great skill and kindness. We chose together the safari option that suited us best. Thank you, Edward, for everything!
Then, after we completed the first stage, we met Rose, who took care of the reservations for our accommodations and who, like Edward, clarified all our uncertainties, gave us valuable advice and spared no effort to answer any question we had, with complete kindness and professionalism. Some of the initially discussed accommodation options were not available at the time of making the reservations (it can happen, but there is no reason to panic), but Rose offered us even better alternatives, the accommodation was excellent and the food and staff at all lodges were a delight. Thank you, Rose, for everything!
Last but not least, we want to thank our exceptional guide, Freddie Elias, who made everything possible for us to have a safari that exceeded all our expectations. At the beginning of the safari, Freddie asked us what animals we wanted to see and we answered, of course, the Big 5. And Freddie made it possible for us to see them all. We saw many elephants, many lions and lionesses, 7 lion cubs sheltered under a tree in Serengeti, while their mothers (whom we met not far away) were hunting, many African buffaloes (in Ngorongoro we saw an endless line of African buffaloes), even the rhino, which is so hard to spot, but we had the chance to see it in Ngorongoro. We also saw the leopard, an absolutely gorgeous specimen, in Serengeti.
Besides the Big 5, we saw hippos, giraffes, several cats, topi, wart hogs (Pumba from the animated film “The Lion King”), hyenas, large herds of zebra, impala, wildebeest and antelope, gazelles, flamingo flocks, ostriches, African red-billed hornbills ( the character called Zazu in the animated film “The Lion King”), blue monkeys and lots of baboons, and even 2 cheetahs, one in Tarangire and one in the Serengeti. Cheetahs are very difficult to see, but thanks to Freddie, who has instincts, knowledge and a hawk's eye, we saw them. And it is not an exaggeration when I say that Freddie has the eyes of a hawk, believe me, he could see the animals with the unaided eye before we saw them with binoculars!
Freddie knows all the roads, has excellent driving skills and knows everything about animals and birds and places. He is a real encyclopedia. There was no question that we asked him that he did not have an answer to. Also, Freddie is patient (we took hundreds of photo) and very funny (ask him about "African massage").
And one more thing, Freddie is extremely responsible, he didn't let us take any risks, he took really good care of us and we felt safe all the time. Thank you Freddie for everything, we were lucky to have you as our guide!
Many thanks to Lion King Adventures for offering us one of our best experiences ever!
Search no more, choose Lion King Adventures, they are the best!

Albert is a legend, showed us the best places and had the best vibe!
The tour itself was amazing, our guide knew the right places and had knowledge of the animals and could answer all the questions we had. Our guide definitely went the extra mile 5/5. The camp was good but we where not informed on the fact that you cant pay with card, which basically made us there without money, which obviously sucked. The cook was a legend who cooked very good and was kind and communicating.
On a scale from 0 to 10 this definitely was a 8.

Great company to arrange your trip to Namibia
Nature Travel Namibia, and Petra Joell helped us in organizing a customised 12 days self drive tour in Namibia.

The best experience ever, the guide and the chef were absolutely professional
The best experience of the safari travel, right from the time we contacted them to the perfect delivery of services. What stands out for me is the trust, reliability and precise details, as promised when booking each and everything came true. They never misguided us, very friendly and fantastic food, great manouveres and took us to the right spot with great safety. I would highly recommend Willy, Salim and his team from Zamunda tours. 100% reliable guys who will never cheat you. Made our entire Journey and trip so memorable including the transfers.

We hiked Kilimanjaro with BigCats Safaris and couldn't be happier with our choice. The care we recived from our guides and the porters was incredible. At the end of the day, they brought all of us to the top. They made these days really special and we would always choose BigCats Safari again. Asante Sana!

Reliable & helpful, with superb customer service -- you truly are in good hands.
This is the best travel/tour agency we have ever used. Titus contacted us via WhatsApp shortly after we inquired about booking a safari in order to ascertain what kind of experience we wanted, and soon thereafter provided us with several options. After we chose our itinerary, he booked two different safari camps for us and arranged all our domestic transportation from Nairobi to the camps, as well as to the coast where we spent a few beach days at the end. Everything he arranged was great.
What really sets this agency apart, though, is Titus' outstanding communication and willingness to help with anything you need. We peppered him with a number of questions while we were preparing for our trip, and he always responded promptly with precise and helpful information. And he really went above and beyond to help us while we were in Kenya. As it turned out, our son unfortunately experienced a medical emergency and needed to visit the hospital shortly before we departed. Titus came to the hospital himself -- in the middle of the night -- to make sure we were receiving proper treatment, and arranged a hotel room for us at the last minute so we had a place to stay after we missed our flight. He drove us from the hospital to the hotel himself, and kept checking in to make sure we were fine until we reached home. He did all of this even though our tour with Morindat had technically ended and he had no further obligation towards us. We had simply called him in a panic in the middle of the night, waking him up, and he immediately helped. He is a good man. Needless to say, we are very thankful and we cannot recommend Morindat highly enough. Thank you, Titus!

I would recommend Suricata to anyone looking for an amazing Tanzania safari experience. They were affordable, professional, and very attentive to our needs. Our drivers Max and Mandela were super friendly and extremely knowledgeable—providing great info about the wildlife and the Tanzanian culture and answering all our questions. The whole experience was top notch!

My experience was amazing thanks to our super guide Jeff!
We took the tour of 2 days Masai Mara and 1 Day Lake Nakuru and everything went wonderful. The whole trip was better than it was describe when booked. The organization of schedule, food, trips, was perfect. The most wonderful thing was our guide Jeff. His company makes this safari trip unforgetable. He is the best driver, the most gentle, super funny, caring about everyone, and he made us have an amazing experience all the time. Thanks to him we get to see the BIG 5
