One of the best day of our lives
5/5

We booked a one day safari from Zanzibar and the experience was exceptional. All the staff in Zanzibar and the guide/driver in the Selous reserve were very friendly, nice and helpful. We were able to see so many animals in their natural habitat (inside an open jeep). We can only highly recommended them. This will offer you a one-time life experience.
They even offer to take care of our luggage during our trip because we were changing from one hotel to another that day. The safari is worth every dollar.

Excellent
5/5

James is one of a kind! He truly enriched our Safari experience as our planner, driver & guide. This was my second Safari but first experience with James’s company!

He’s personable, patient & most of all knowledgeable on all things Safari.
He went above & beyond to ensure our experience was memorable. He took lesser known routes to bring us closer to the big5.

If you’re considering working with James, do not hesitate. You won’t regret it!

Good helpful and caring
5/5

First of all a big shout-out to our guide Jimi and the rest of the crew, who took great care of us and helped us and provided for us all we could possibly need. You are the best!
The trip itself was great, unfortunately we weren't able to summit due to altitude illness, but definitely try again sometime.

Amazing Trip
5/5

We came with my husband to visit Tanzania famous parks of Serengeti, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. We booked with Lappet Faced Safaris because it has good reviews and they are very good.
The whole tour was very good. We were guided by an experienced guide Gabriel who make us very happy.
He takes us to the middle of where to find animals and patient to let us take good photos and video clips of elephant, lion, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, flamingo, crownbird, stork, monkey, baboon and more.
The Toyota hardtop pop pup roof was comfortable, with fridge, nice seat, plugs for power and animal books.
Book with Lappet Faced Safaris and enjoy

Perfect experience
5/5

If you're hesitating which company choose for your safari hesitate no more. Not only, the offer I got from Gosheni was, the most interesting one, the contact and response time short, but they were fully flexible when our flight got cancelled and we had to move our trip one year forward. All in all the most important is the guide and we got a great one. Ombeni knows everything about Tanzania, Serengeti and the wild life and has a great way of sharing his knowledge. He will do everything for your trip to be comfortable and interesting and run to every place where rare species appeared. We managed to see a lot and enjoyed a lot. Gosheni provides delicious food and accommodation in beautiful and well managed Acacia Camp. The whole experience is wonderful. Highly recommended!

An indescribable great 8 days Safari with KingTomondo!
5/5

The safari was breathtaking. We saw so many animals, all the lodges were great and our memories will be unforgettable. Dan, our driver, was the perfect guide. We always had the feeling that we were in the right place at the right time. His knowledge and skills, his sense of humor were perfect. We couldn't have imagined a better driver and guide than Dan. Everything was just perfect.
Thanks to KingoTomondo for this indescribable safari, thanks for the organization and Lisa's professional communication at all times. The way how quickly Lisa responded to our questions and requests was one of the main reasons why we chose KingTomondo. We will unreservedly recommend KingTomondo and Dan to our friends and families.

Amazing Trip! The cook was a hero, so delicous! It‘s good organized! I had a really nice time!Asante
5/5

The tour was profitable compared to the service and the price. We were camping, all camping things are organized by the crew. The guide was very funny and always in a good mood and he had a lot of knowledge about safari topics. The cook served us several courses every day, fresh homemade bread rolls were standard with almost every dish. Simply a great experience!

The best field guide at the best Safari Tour Operator: James A. and Vanessa N. from Spirit of Kenya
5/5

We booked with Spirit of Kenya for a plan of 9 safaris and 10 nights.
We have no words to tanks Vanessa (Personal Journey Designer) for her highly appreciated kind attention to our many questions. She really help us to organize the perfect itinerary, and we really enjoy our days in Kenya in the hands of the best guide ever.
Our guide was James Arama (which we recommend to all serious wildlife lovers), and we cannot be more satisfied with his guidance, support and flexibility. James is an expert of the Kenyan fauna who only need to know your priorities in order to spot all the species you want to see. Thanks to him we got more than 150 species of birds, 10 species of Butterflies, 6 species of reptiles, all big cats including the normal Serval and the rare black Serval, both species of Rhinos, the two Giraffes and of course the famous Big Five that are easy to see during a tour like ours.
This is without mentioning all the many mammals inhabiting the reserves and parks.
I was particularly interested to see the 14 Eagles of Kenya, and leave the country with 13 species and 12 of them abundantly photographed.
In total, we took around 100 videos and 60'000 good pictures thanks to James.
Really, the real star of our tour with Spirit of Kenya was our guide and without him, we will not be able to make it as great as it was!!!
Thanks Vanessa and thank you James for this unique experience.
