A young and dynamic Tanzanian company who offers personalized tours.
From my first email sent to our last debriefing a few hours before leaving, communication was always great with African Big Cats. Lovoy our guide was nothing short of amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in travelling to Tanzania. Their capacity to adapt was really helpful during pur 13 days trip!
Thank you guys,
Sincerely

Excellent, well organised tour that exceeded our expectations
We had a great time with Jack as our guide on safari.
He was so enthusiastic and keen to find the animals for us. He is a very good driver and we felt safe at all times despite difficult driving conditions with rain and heavy traffic on the roads.
The tents are a good value option for accommodation with the brick built bathrooms on the back. The food was very good and the chef at our camp,Tito, was very friendly and hard working.
We did 2 nights at Masai Mara and then 1 night at lake Navisha. This gave us the opportunity to see the Big 5 and so much more. From what others said to us, we benefited from having Jack as one guide for the whole trip. Some are switched between vehicles/drivers which can affect the experience.
All email communication beforehand was responded to promptly.

excellent value, would recommend
Excellent value and would recommend to anyone looking for a mid-range safari! This was the best price I found after contacting 8 agencies, and everything was very good.
I did the 3-day joining safari as a solo female traveler and felt very comfortable. Communications via email were quick and smooth. The accommodation, Jambo Mara, was nicer than I expected. It had clean rooms, a pool, and a gym with mostly working equipment. The food from Jambo Mara was fine - buffet style so lots of options, but nothing special. Bring snacks if you’re picky. The game drives were very good, and we saw all of the big 5. I think game drives between tour groups are pretty similar because you see a lot of the same vehicles at the same stops. Our driver for the trip was not very chatty, but did a great job navigating the terrain and finding animals and I had a great time.

Great guides that will take you too some mindblowing sightings!
We spent two weeks with Mafie Adventures' team, exploring the northen part of Tanzania and had a wonderful time. We saw some beautiful national parks, countless species of animals and unique landscapes. It was truly the safari experience we all dreamed about. The team that came with us (guides and cooks) was lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutly recommand Mafie Adventures for your next trip in Tanzania!

Kind and professional.
Everything was really good organized, the flights, the meeting points, the lodge reservations. We were always connected with Bruno via WU, we could ask any question. They kept our big luggages at their office in Zanzibar so travelling was easy with a backpacks. We loved our guide, he knows everything about Tanzania, his personality is really positiv. The National Parks, the foods and the accomodations were perfect. We could'nt wish for better days. It was a dream! We saw the big five already on the 2. day and also exciting situations with lions and buffalos. We are so thankful for this lifetime experiance. Don't hesitate, book your safari now! We would do it again and again :)

Amazing Experience with Uzuri Uganda Safaris
We had an amazing experience traveling through Uganda with Uzuri. Abdallah was very welcoming and helpful. He really tried his best and went above and beyond to show us all the beautiful animals this country has. And we did see everything from elephants, giraffes, lions, rhinos, hippos, pumbas, buffaloes, a leopard and even a python. We can also highly recommend the gorilla and the chimpanzee trekking. Abdallah is an excellent driver and provided us with water and snacks. The booked accomodations were far better than expected. All rooms/tents were huge with double bed, private bathroom (hot water in the shower) and mosquito nets and also very clean. The food was tasty and they always have an option if you don't like anything or have allergies. You also don't stay hungry as the portion sizes are huge. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful.
All in all our travel to Uganda exceeded our expections!

Just excellent !
I had the chance to do a Safari with Hyrax Safaris and all I can say is that it was the perfect tour company for the Safari. I really enjoyed my time . Best quality price ratio for a 2-3 days Safari.
Thanks Irene for all the help and Albert (best Safari driver).

Smoothly executed first time safari
Looking back at the 7 day tour,
- we got the opportunity to see the expected wildlife at all parks luckily with good weather.
- we are very satisfied with the quality, servi es, food, entertainment at all the accommodation options we got to experience.
- among the optional additional experiences we chose: 1. Bomas of Kenya was very good, the cultural show was extremely energetic & impressive talent! 2. Visit to Maasai village was an 'unique' experience, but sad about the still existing 'chosen' quality of life there.
- overall, we are very glad that everything worked out smoothly from pick up to drop off.

Amazing experience with an excellent operator
We had an amazing experience with Lion King Adventures and our guide Joseph.
All communication before the tour was excellent, very clear and helpful in planning our trip.
The tour itself was an amazing experience, amazing guide and accommodations. We always felt safe and Joseph made sure we have a good time and was very knowledgeable about the country, parks and wildlife.
We recommended our family and friends if the consider to do a safari to make sure to book it with Lion king adventures.
Thanks for an amazing experience
