Honeymoon Trip of a Lifetime
5/5

Walter and Lawrence crafted a perfect itinerary hitting all of Tanzania’s highlights while staying in luxurious accommodations. Our game drives were highly productive seeing all the Big 5, even hard to spot leopards and rhinos due to their keen eye. The Serengeti and the Crater are truly what dreams are made of. Witnessing the Great Migration, sleeping among lions and buffalo and getting a few feet away from lions will leave us with memories to last a lifetime. These packages are not cheap but the caliber of the experience more than outweighed the expense. We are happy to count Walter and Lawrence as friends for life.

The hands-down best way to experience the wildlife and culture, and it's not even the most expensive
5/5

Congratulations, you found the best company to book your upcoming safari with! Here are just a few of my endless list of reasons why Safari Infinity is the go-to Tanzanian safari company. The most important part of a trip like this is your safety. Safari Infinity is owned by 3 people who created a company that made my wife and I feel safe and comfortable from the very first email, to the very end of my trip.

Our trip planner, Augustine, must have helped us change our itinerary almost ten times (thanks COVID), and he was always just a few hours away from a response with all the updated details and confirmation. Augustine gave us great recommendations on which National Parks to visit in which order, that way our next day was always super exciting and there was a great progression of wildlife and adventure! (Our trip was Maasai Lodge 2 nights, Lake Manyara day trip, Ngorongoro Crater 1 night, Central Serengeti 3 nights, Northern Serengeti 2 nights, Zanzibar 4 nights).

Monah was our safari guide, and let me tell you, he is the best! He was so informative, kind, and funny! I swear Monah knows everything there is to know about the wildlife, the geology, and the culture. He was the perfect person to transfer us safely across the beautiful country and provide us the best experience. Speaking of which, something that sets Safari Infinity apart from the rest is unlimited gas and miles. Most other companies will drive in the same area, crowding a small section of the park, because the drivers are told to cap the amount they drive each day. But Monah was able to take us anywhere in the park that he, or we, wanted! This allowed us to get so much time with all the different animals privately. This, of course, means we got amazing pictures and videos the whole trip!

As for the lodging, you need to book Nyumbani in the Central Serengeti. I cannot stress this enough. The staff, the food, the tent, everything was so perfect! It was such a struggle to completely finish every 5 course dinner, but I had to because the food was some of the best I have ever had, and I live in the NYC area and I have traveled all over the world. AKA, I know good food when I have it.

If you made it this far in my review, then props to you and I hope my enthusiasm for this amazing company is getting you hyped for your upcoming safari! To see exactly what I saw and experienced, you can watch the video I made for myself to remember my trip. You will see exactly how we were treated by Safari Infinity, how close they got us to the wildlife, and why you need to book your trip with them today!

An Amazing Safari Experience with Gilbert from Lion King Adventure!!!
5/5

An Amazing Safari Experience with Gilbert from Lion King Adventure!!!
We (family of 4 with 2 teenage boys)had a luxury safari 7n/8d package and it was worth every penny. Let me start with Gilbert our Safari Guide, he was fantastic with his knowledge based on the animals we encountered. He worked hard to give us the best safari experience we could have imagined. His driving skills were excellent and always considered our safety. I have traveled extensively to many countries so I have encountered all types of tour guides. Gilbert was very professional and considerate to our interests. Every game drive was exciting even got our teenage boys interested. I promise, you will have a lifetime of memories when you have Gilbert as your safari guide.

Special thanks to Pendo for coordinating the safari trip with me and patiently answered all my questions. I have shopped around and I believed Lion King Adventures offered the best value safari package with 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️accommodation. I am very pleased with Lion King Adventures. I will definitely request for Gilbert as our guide and use Lion King again.

Top safari experience
5/5

When we started the tour, we were picked up by a driver and brought to their office in Nairobi for the payment. The day before we noticed that our cards have a daily withdrawal limit, and Simon arranged that the driver brings us to an ATM first. That worked without problem and we managed to pick up the full amount in KES. When we arrived at the office, there seemed to be some miscommunication, since the office was closed, but the driver eventually reached Simon, we paid what was agreed beforehand, and were brought to the tour van.
We picked Wild Race Africa Safari Tours due to the overall very good reviews on Tripadvisor and Safaribookings and were not disappointed.

Simon was quick to reply, and arranging/negotiating the tour from home wasn't a problem.

Our driver John took us to Masai Mara (there were 3 other tourists in the car besides us), dropped us off at the lodge and then picked us up again in the evening for a game drive.

On the next day we would have had a full-day game drive, but that had to be canceled for us, since I got sick. We let Simon know via Whatsapp and agreed that we would stay one extra night in the lodge, and do the game drive with another group the next day. This extra night in the Mara Chui lodge + park fees cost $150 per person. The lodge staff was very helpful and friendly and even upgraded us to a better type of house for that extra night.

The next day we managed to do the game drive with another group in a Landcruiser. Even though the tire broke twice, we managed to see many animals over the whole day!

After that we went to Lake Nakuru (Lake Nakuru Lodge). The driver from the whole-day game drive ended up bringing us to somewhere halfway to Nairobi where we had lunch, after which another driver (Alex) picked us up. In that case we were essentially upgraded to a private tour, as there were no other passengers. Alex showed us the Lake Nakuru NP and explained us very much about the animals, and about life in Kenya in general. Alex was very attentive and made a real effort to find all the animals (rhinos, leopards, lions especially). That was all very interesting!

Alex drove us to the airport and helped us buy our flight onwards at the counter.

Overall, we can definitely recommend Wild Race as a tour operator.

Good organization and very friendly
5/5

Very good organization, Cubs Expeditions does a good job as an intermediary organization! They offer safari and Kilimanjaro tours, which I both booked and was very satisfied. The price is okay, there are organizations with higher but also some with lower prices, here you are roughly in the middle of the field. The organization of the tours is very good and especially before and after the tours you get a lot of support from the friendly "Mr. T". The Kilimanjaro tours are led by a guide named William, whom I can warmly recommend! He is extremely experienced, friendly and makes sure that you survive the tour on the highest mountain in Africa. All in all I am very satisfied!

Professional and great service
5/5

Did a trip to Aberdare national park organised by Vacay this month (August 2021) , had a very good experience working with William who organised everything so seamlessly and professionally, he arranged for everything we requested to be included in the trip. Since it was our first time using this company and to be somehow safe we requested to pay a deposit and clear balance day before trip and they were ok with that. The driver that was provided was super friendly and ensured that we were happy all through the trip from Nairobi and back. I highly recommend this company and will definitely use them again.

Amazing experience, great value, friendly peoples
5/5

We did a 2 day safari trip (Tarangire and Ngorongoro). This was our first safari experience. The accommodations was comfortable. Big comfortable beds, hot water, and delicious foods. On both national parks we saw a lot of animals, it was an amazing adventure (elephants, lions, zebras, buffalos, hippos, giraffes, monkeys, etc). Our driver was very friendly and helpful, he observed the animals from a big distance.
We fully recommend for everyone who want to enjoy the safari and to stay with best memories.
