Best trip with the best guide!
We did a 5 day safari with Moses which was probably one of the best experience. We were extremely lucky to have the most experienced, knowledgeable and fun driver who managed to spot the animals that no other driver in the park could! We ended up seeing much more than the big-5 all thanks to this amazing guy. Highly recommended!

Honest approach
Unfortunately, due the last minute flight cancelation we were not able to visit Nairobi and attend our Safari tour. However, I would like to express my gratitude towards Kichaka Tours since they were very welcoming with our situation and fully refunded already paid price for the tour!
Such behaviour is rare this days and in case we have a chance to visit Nairobi again, we will definitely use their services and go for Safari tour with them.
Thank you!

An Unforgettable Honeymoon!
My husband and I did an 8 day safari with Soul of Tanzania for our honeymoon. It was incredible and everything we could have hoped for and more!
From the beginning, Marta was responsive to all of our emails and requests and put together a great itinerary for us. We arrived at each of our hotels on schedule with no issues and thoroughly enjoyed the stay at each. We also had a beach extension at Zanzibar following our safari, which Soul of Tanzania planned for us. The beach and resort at the Melia were beautiful!
Our safari guide, Omari, was awesome! He was clearly dedicated to giving us a fantastic experience. He would routinely stop along the safari routes and point out unique or interesting wildlife. Some days, we would get up before sunrise and Omari would drive us for 12+ hours. He always made sure we were comfortable and put our safety as a top priority throughout the trip. We had a couple of issues with our vehicle along the way (e.g., flat tire, which could be expected) and Omari problem-solved without any impact to us or the trip. He was also dedicated to finding us the Big 5 which we did by the end! He was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and made our safari honeymoon an unforgettable experience!
Overall we had a fantastic trip with Soul of Tanzania in general and Omari specifically. We felt safe and cared for and truly had a once in a lifetime experience. We would definitely recommend!

Lion King Adventures is a fantastic Tanzanian tour company with a highly responsive/competent team!
Bottom line: If you are planning an African safari, Lion King Adventures is definitely a team of highly skilled professionals that we would strongly recommend. From the front office help (Rose and Caroline) to our wonderful guide (Freddie), we had a truly jaw- dropping experience. Every question was answered (and we asked a lot of them), every need met and every dream realized.
This was a 15 day experience (10 day safari and 4 days relaxing in Zanzibar). The accommodations were terrific and the food was outstanding. When there were unexpected issues (KLM-lost luggage), the Lion King team was immediately on top of it and the problem was resolved.
Our guide, Freddie, was incredibly knowledgeable. He could spot animals so quickly and immediately get us close for photos. He worked well with other guides, communicating regularly, so as to make sure we saw the 'big 5' and a host of other interesting animals.
In closing, if you are considering a safari, choose Lion King Adventures. We could not have asked for more. KUDOS to the Lion King Team!

Remember, this is just the beginning
Amazing experience! The guide, Rocky, was helping a lot during all the trip. Thanks to his knowledge and expertise we saw all the “Big five”, spotted the best out of the parks and got to know much more about animals and Tanzanian tribes. Special thanks to Musa, the chef, as every breakfast, lunch and dinner were diverse, unique and incredibly tasty. Daniel, the briefer, gave us useful information about the trip the first day we arrived, gave a few recommendations about Arusha and was always ready to support.

Best vacation ever
I planned this trip with my husband and our 2 adult daughters mainly to visit the famous gorillas of Bwindi National park.
But the whole journey was absolutely amazing. Our guide Julius was the best ambassador of his beautiful country.
We experienced not only the amazing encounter with gorillas and chimpanzees, but loved the meet the people in the community. We visited the village of the Badwa, had the chance to see a hospital.
The people of Uganda were very welcoming. We would love to come back, because this beautiful country has so much to offer.

The best
I was very hesitant to make the payments prior to my arrival, it is a large amount and you don't know if it is a company you can trust. In the end everything turned out perfect, they are in contact via WhatsApp all the time! They are responsible and honest, our guide Nico made us have a wonderful safari, he made an effort to look for the animals and move at our pace, he made suggestions and explained very well about the animals and the parks. At first we were in a slightly old van, but they changed it that same day for a newer one, where there were connections to charge your phone right in front your sit. The lodges were beautiful, the food very delicious. I would definitely book with them again.

Perfect service, nice and professional people
The trip was amazing, I still don't believe it's real as you can see all the beauty of the nature, all the animals in real life, moreover so closely. The tour was organized really well.
Daniel gave us a brief a day in advance of what to expect and what to take with us, moreover he gave us useful recommendations about Arusha.
Rocky, our guide, had a direct communication with animals as all of them appeared at the places we were driving by or were coming towards our car. With his hawk eyes spotting animals kilometres away and his knowledge about the nature and animals, our tour team got the best experience.
And additional gratitude to our Chef (with the capital "C") Musa who was preparing breakfast, lunch and dinner every day (and every time it was a set of multiple meals). And everything was so tasty that I think I put a few kilos on after the trip

Couldn'tve done it without Dennis!
This was my 1st African safari, my 1st trip outside of the North American continent thus and quite the accomplishment. If anyone knows me, there are two things I love dearly: (1) THE Ohio State Buckeyes and (2) zebras. Therefore, in the case of the latter, seeing zebras on an African safari was quite the dream come true. I initially planned to go on a Kenya/Tanzania safari; however, I fell a bit behind in paying for the trip. I fell behind enough to the point where Dennis, my travel consultant could have easily cancelled my trip. Not only did Dennis NOT cancel the trip, he and his team prepared a more financially reasonable Kenya safari attending these 8 Kenyan parks: (1) Amboseli NP, (2) Lake Navaisha, (3) Samburu NR, (4) Lake Nakuru, (5) Masai Mara NR, (6) Lake Elementaita, (7) Aberdare NP, and (8) Ol Pejeta Conservancy. With the help my driver Daniel, not only did I see plenty of zebras (to whom Daniel referred to as "my friends"), I saw the entire Big Nine, Samburu/Special Five, and the Ugly Five. During the 14 day Kenya campaign, I experienced game drives in 4 different ways: (1) by car, (2) by boat, (3) on foot, and (4) via hot balloon; the different methods helped minimize the monotony on a safari. Throughout the game drives, I let Daniel know what animals I wanted to see and he made sure to take the time to see them. Overall, the lodges I stayed at were enjoyable; the highlights being Lake Navaisha Sopa Lodge (there were literal zebras running around, best ambiance), Samburu Ashnil Lodge (best dining experiences and best room), and Zebra Plains Masai Mara Lodge (best overall physical property presentation). I cannot thank Dennis, Daniel, and Morningstar Safaris enough for how well they treated me. They were well in their right to have cancelled my trip; but instead they did everything they could to make this trip a success. As a result, with better planning on my end, I anticipate planning a Tanzania safari with Dennis and Morningstar!
