Great family Safari
We did an 8-day Serengeti Ngorongoro Safari with Shadows of Africa. Everything went completely as planned and we saw so many animals... Great guide, we always felt safe and well taken care of.
We are a family of 2 adults and 4 kids.

Good service, trust-able, reliable
It is good that the driver has all of the experiences. Recommended for solo traveler since it's allow you to be on the safari trip alone. Enjoy the time there.

Amazing experience, personalized just for me!
Communication was great! Lydia was kind and trustworthy. I had limited time in Nairobi, and they were able to accommodate that. I was able to see so much in the little time that I had! It was truly an amazing experience, it was everything I was hoping for. I felt comfortable and safe. Guide was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend.

Operator cancelled trip one day before departure date!
I rested with my family on Zanzibar and we decided to go on a four-day safari in Tanzania.
Through the www.safaribookings.com I found several companies that do safaris in the Tarangire / Ngorongoro / Serengeti.
I made a request, more firms answered me.
Among them was the company Twinkle Star Tours and Safaris.
They gave me the best price and a perfect program, we agreed everything to the smallest detail.
To save money, I decided to buy tickets by local airlines from Zanzibar to Kilimanjaro myself.
When I bought the tickets, agreed with Twinkle Star on the dates and times of transfer, right on the day before of our departure from Zanzibar, Twinkle Star said that he could not conduct a safari, but his acquaintance from the company Inno African Safari would hold it.
He gave me the contact of this other company and no longer answered my questions in the WatsApp.
I contacted this new company and he set me the price exactly twice as high... Read more as we agreed with Twinkle Star.
And this is the day before the start of the safari!
It was good that I had contacts and agreements with other companies and we quickly agreed on a safari with another company.
I warn all people on the www.safaribookings.com, do not mess with the company Twinkle Star Tours and Safaris.

Lion King Adventures delivers on a memorable and successful lifetime experience
We (a group of 4 - 2 x couples) did a Mt. Kilimanjaro (6-day Machame route) and Safari (4-day) package with Lion King Adventures.
The communication with Lion King Adventures throughout our time with them was reasonably prompt and it felt like they were always happy to help us as best they could. During the initial stages of booking and tailoring the package to suit us, there were only slight miscommunications which were ultimately settled with no discontent. They kindly organised a local coffee farm tour at the tail end of our stay.
Our drivers throughout our time in Tanzania were all very nice and safely got us to and from our locations.
We began our time in Tanzania with the 6-day Machame route of Mount Kilimanjaro. Personally, this was the highlight of my trip. Our head guide, Saladin, with his team (special mentions to Kim, Mos, Lazaro, John, Rama, Alan) were exceptional in making sure we were comfortable throughout and safely arriving to camp every day. Thanks to Saladin... Read more and his amazing team, we made it to Stella Point and if it weren't for weather and time constraints, I am certain that we would have made it to Uhuru Peak as well - Asante sana. The snacks to keep us fueled throughout the day were thoughtful and the hot meals at the end of every day were so good. We were also fortunate to have our own toilet which was a lovely luxury. I will always remember my Mount Kilimanjaro experience fondly.
We got to enjoy our 4-day safari to the fullest after conquering Kilimanjaro. We went to Tarangire National Park (NP), Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara NP. It was about mid-June when we started our safari and we had already missed most of the migration but were lucky enough to see the big 5 (lion, buffalo, rhino, elephant, leopard) and some babies/cubs as well (baby hippo, baby elephant, baby impala, cheetah cub, lion cub). Our safari guide and driver, Gilbert, was very informative throughout the 4-days, pointing out various forms of wildlife and fauna. He did a wonderful job making sure we got to see all big 5 and more - Asante! The accommodation organised for us between each of these safari locations was very comfortable (Eileen's Trees Inn and Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp) and the food was delicious.
Anna and James of Lion King Adventures came to visit us between Kilimanjaro and our safari. This was a very nice gesture and they were very lovely. We all had a great time and would gladly recommend anyone else considering a Kilimanjaro + Safari package to go with Lion King Adventures.

African authentic Safari Tour
Hallo, we haved booked a 9 days Tour in the southern of Tanzania, Ruaha, MIkumi, Udzungwa and Selous. The Organation was nearly perfect. We was 2 Persons , we had one Guide und for some days one cook. The overnite standings was easely but near the african poeple, the breakfast, lunch and dinner was already perfect. We didn't know what was coming , so it was always, every day a surprise to came in contact with the very friendly poeple. You must know, for us it was very intresting, when you want a luxery tour, you must pay much more and you see only the half of the living Africa. The tour was also strenght, because every day on the road and in the parks, when we had known this, so we had booked 3 days more, for example in the future: 2 overnite in the Udzungwa Mountains (go relexed trekking or overnite also in the mountain in tent with an ranger) 3 overnites in Ruaha ( walking safari, Night safari and hole day safari) in the Mikumi 2 overnite (it will be enough for hole day safari) and in... Read more the selous 3 overnites (river safari, also night safari , walking safari and relexing in the wilderness camp, its perfect--- big tent like nomads in the nature and wonderful manager and staff) -------Everytime ever very friendly Guide ( Fikirih)and cook all perfect and it was the 5 th Tour that we stayed in Africa ( two times now in Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe).Best regards to the Team of Grassroots Safari( the right name for this Organisation !!!!! P.S.: You have wishes, no Problem, ask Micky the Manager it will be organized.
German: Wir haben 9 Tage gebucht, anstrengende, wegen langen Fahrten, die Distanzen sind schon groß und die Strassenverhältnisse afrikanisch, zum Teil Schotterpisten. Wir hatten noch keine so authentische und nahe an / bei der Bevölkerung organisierte Safari. Alles hat genau gepasst, jeden Tag eine Überraschung. Unser Fahrer und ein extra Koch haben alles organisiert . Wer eine Luxus Safari ohne Nähe möchte oder sucht der muß wesentlich mehr bezahlen und bekommt nicht die Nähe die zum pulsierenden Leben Afrikas dazugehört. Bei Fragen und Wünschen seht Micky immer zur Verfügung und managt alles sehr gerne. Ein Tip: für solch eine Tour sind 3 Tage etwas erhohlsamer, da die Entfernungen und die Fahrten zu den unterschiedlichen Parks doch sehr groß sind. Liebe Grüße an das ganze Grassroots Team, welches für seine angebotenen Touren auch den richtigen Namen trägt. Jederzeit wieder !!!
