Great experience from booking to actual tour. Communication was quick and clear. The places suggested were excellent.
Richard, our guide, was always punctual and had good knowledge about the area and animals. He went out of his way to show us all the sights.
Highly recommended to book a tour with this company!

Dream safari!!!
From beginning to end our Safari was absolutely fantastic! Our driver and guide, George, was super friendly and knowledgeable and he was a great fit for me and my husband’s trip. We did a private safari which was perfect for us. He let us choose what we want to do and where we wanted to go and how long we wanted to spend. Everything was perfectly arranged from the food the accommodations with good communication.

Excellent tour of Mikumi and Udzungwa National Parks
Excellent communications and flexibility in arranging transport and a tour to meet our time availability and plans. Lovely accommodation near the park. A fantastic couple of days in Mikumi - Otto is very knowledgeable and seemed to find all the animals we could wish for. Also arranged a guide up the gorgeous Udzungwa mountains to see the impressive falls. Would certainly recommend Otto to everyone.

Friendly and Professional - Highly Recommended
Our experience with Lion King was everything we could ask for. The operations were smoothly managed so that we could focus on the wonderful wildlife. Our guide Gilbert was friendly and professional, and not only acted the dutiful host and driver, but also enriched our safari by taking us to the right places and pointing out every animal and bird in his guidebook.
The rest of the Lion King team, especially James in Arusha, went out of their way to meet our every request. Highly recommend this group for anyone looking to book a safari in the region.

Very interesting city tour of Dar es Salaam
We are a swedish couple who 19/7 attended a day-tour of Dar es Salaam. Our guide Patrick is very knowledgable about all things Tanzanian. The tour let us experience the more "common" sights like the Fishmarket and Village-museum but also took us outside of the beaten path to other areas and neighborhoods around town . That gave us a rather unique cultural experience. It was obvious that our guide went to great lengths to make us experience a taste of the "real" Dar es Salaam.
On comparison with other companies this full-day-tour was delivered at a very good price and offered excellent value for money.
All in all we can recommend Nodven Tour with Patrick as a guide as a very entertaingi and enlightening way to spend a day in Dar es Salaam

Unforgettable School Safari Trip
We have just returned from a wonderful 11-day Safari in Kenya with Africa Celebrity Tours. We were a large school group of 26 people in total. The booking process went very smoothly, and the operations manager Muli was very patient and understanding about changes to numbers of people who were coming. He worked with us to design a detailed itinerary through Nairobi, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. He took into account special requirements we had as a school group, which was very helpful. Communication all through the booking process was fantastic and Muli usually replied within only a few hours despite the time difference.
On the ground in Kenya the wildlife beat our wildest expectations. The Drivers were very knowledgeable and skilful at spotting animals. Within our first three hours on Safari in Masai Mara we had already spotted the big five. They also pointed out birdlife and smaller animals, which the children were equally as interested in by the end of the trip. The food and facilities in the hotels were excellent. They were all in the heart of the national park so we could start spotting wildlife as soon as we left the gates.
An unexpected highlight was Hell’s Gate National Park. Our guide told the kids that the park was the inspiration for the pride lands in which the Lion King is set. We spent the morning on a cycling safari in which our guide pointed out Pride Rock. We then had a 2-hour hike through the gorge in which Mufasa dies in the film. There aren’t any lions or other large predators here in real life, which makes it possible to cycle and hike, and also explains why it attracts much fewer tourists than the other parks. However, the opportunity to cycle with giraffes, Zebras and Buffalo more than makes up for this, especially if you need a break from the vehicle for a while.
Another highlight was visiting a Masai School one morning in Amboseli. Our children enjoyed interacting and sharing gifts with the local children before playing a game of football. They were impressed with how keen and energetic the local children were despite having very basic facilities in the school.
Thanks for an unforgettable trip! I would not hesitate to use this company again in a few years time.

Wonderful Experience
Extremely helpful, accommodating and very honest.
I was a little sceptical about the whole experience prior to my visit. But, I have to be honest, I was mind blown.
Highly Highly Recommended!
