Incroyable !
Kilimanjaro and Safari with Meals: just incredible!
Popote is a local agency, with no European intermediary, and that's exactly what we were looking for. The exchange with Sabino was very easy, he was always available to answer all our questions quickly. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, whether for transfers or hotels.
KILIMANJARO
We climbed Kilimanjaro Machame route in 7 days. The whole team were great and caring to us from start to finish, with lots of attention throughout the stay.
The tent was very comfortable with good mattresses. The food was excellent with 3 hot meals a day, and plenty of it.
The ascent would not have been possible without our 2 extraordinary guides Mtey and Omari and without all the superb team of cooks and porters: Emmanuel the future guide, Jérémia the cook, Rachidi, Issa, Pau, Msorongo, Junia, Ibrahim and Emmanuel .
It has been a wonderful week by your side. Beyond a trek on the Golden Roof of Africa, it is a real human experience. We will not forget you. Neither yeyeeeee!
SAFARI
We made 5 days of camping safari (one day in Tarangire, 3 days in Serengeti and one day in Ngorongoro crater) with our French speaking driver guide Denis and our cook Ali.
Denis, a real ace at the wheel, allowed us to see many animals and observe them for as long as we wanted. We didn't expect to see so many and so close it was amazing.
The car was very comfortable, as were the tents we slept in. The campsite allowed us to be as close as possible to the animals and to hear them at night. Finally, Ali's meals were delicious.
We had an unforgettable experience with the Popote Africa Adventures team, whether for the ascent of Kilimanjaro or the Safari. We recommend them 1000%, you can go with your eyes closed and your stay will be amazing!

Best of the best
Amazing experience. Everything was great. The guide/driver Endeni was professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind and full of sense of humor.
The lodges were outstanding. The safari was stunning. We felt as if we are on the national geographic channel. The vehicle was spacious and luxurious.
The communication with Justice prior to the trip was fluent. He is very professional, responsive and answered all the questions we had. All the information he gave us, was found to be accurate.

Best experience ever!
Amazing vacation in Tanzania. We did 5 day Safari and 3 nights in Zanzibar. Lion King adventures sets everything up for you. From the transportation to and from airport, the hotels, the food, and all the water/soda/beer you want during Safari. All of our hotels were amazing and the staff at these hotels cannot be beat. The best part of the trip was our guide, Salehe. He was so easy to talk with and so knowledgeable and passionate about his country, the animals, the plants, and the landscapes. Cannot recommend this vacation enough. You will not be disappointed.

Amazing experience
I really enjoyed my trip. That was incroyable experience. I saw so many animals. The guide Chedi is so funny and he taught us so much about animals and culture of the country. The foods making by the cook was really tasty. The owner Bartho is extremely understanding and he make sure that everything is perfect.
It’s worth it, I recommend.

Fantastic one week trip through Kenya thanks to Joseph and his team
Just back after a fantastic one week tour through Kenya. It was organized by Joseph and his team. Due to Corona, I reached out to various local operators at very short notice for this trip. I booked with Joseph because of his impeccable track record here and on Tripadvisor. He also impressed with his responsiveness - he quickly followed up on every whim I had (I'm sure he must pretty much hate me :-)). His pricing was also quite competitive.
Regarding the tour, it was Lake Naivasha (Hell's Gate NP => the bike ride is highly recommended - a very different safari experience), Masai Mara (fantastic of course) & Lake Nakuru (rhinos). For the 5 nights, it was nice and the drives not too cumbersome.
Joseph was honest enough to admit that I probably could get better quotes for the Diani extension I had in mind if I booked the hotel directly (which I did - relying again on his suggestions). Since the tourism business in Kenya is down unfortunately, I got lucky and with Patrick, I probably had one of the most experienced guides the country has to offer. Knowledgeable, good company, safe driver. I could not have had a better travel companion. A big thank you to both for great memories - I'll be back. :-)

Nice
We had a great safari with Kubwa Five Safaris.
It was a trip to remember, we saw many animals, the animals such as lions, leopards, rhinos that I had seen in the wild.
Peter was a great guide, he knew a lot about animals, he was very friendly and had sense of humour.
If you book with this company for a vacation in Kenya, please ask for Peter to be your guide.
We liked the hotels, their customer care and, meals were great.
If you are planning an African vacation, Kubwa Five Safaris is company to contact, you won't be disappointed, in fact, they offer you services beyond your expectations.

"Thanks Lelaa Tours"
Everything went well. The communication was good, the suggested accommodations corresponded to what we intended and glamping is a very interesting economic alternative. Our guide Justwin was fantastic and provided us with a wonderful experience.
Without any doubt,thanks Eric and the whole team, I would re-book with Lelaa Tours and Safari.

"A great company and good team"
We have spent an amazing time with Lelaa tours during our 5 days safari, we went to Tarangire ,Manyara Ngorongoro and Serengeti national parks,
We can highly recommend Eric and his company, he was very attentive to our needs and questions before arriving.
From the time we were picked up at Kilimanjaro Airport to the hotel, I and my girlfriend felt safe and knew we were in good hands.
The tour itself was absolutely brilliant. We had Elemes as our tour guide, he was really friendly a good driver and guide also ,very familiar and knowledgeable with environment and animals as well connected with other tour guides ,we were able to see so many incredible animals.
Truly amazing experience - amazing lodges, and great tour company to travel with.

Fabulous, we recommend with eyes closed.
We chose the Mufasa company to visit Lake Naivasha, the hot springs of Lake Elementary as well as the Great Rift Valley. We had a very nice stay.
In addition, I would like to congratulate their professionalism. I spoke to Joseph, the owner, and explained to him that we had to leave kenya in 2 days, that we would first have to do a covid test to be able to make the visit, he offered to take us to do the test by picking us up from the hotel before starting the visit. In addition, we only had euros with us and the day before I told him that we wanted to change the currency into shilling, despite all the offices being closed, because very early in the morning they found a solution and we were able to change the currency.
We had made the excursion with Nelson (the driver) who is also very professional, a very nice man, smiling, and very helpful, we kept in touch with Nelson who is now our friend. Thank you for this unforgettable moment spent with you.
I highly recommend the Mufasa company 100%. Go ahead with your eyes closed.
