Great arrangement and Memorable exprience with East Africa Exotic Safaris
Four of us from China booked a 9 days safaris tour with East Africa Exotic Safaris after comparing several operators online. The tour turns out to be a quite worthwhile trip and very enjoyable safari experience.
We contacted Rapheal for Safari arrangement, he responded to our every request in a timely manner, and arranged everything to our satisfaction. Rapheal also impressed me a lot with his great patience and generousity when I had some issue with international wire transfer. Really appreciate his help and coordination.
In terms of the Safari itself, our guide Gerald is the best guide ever. He is decent, knowledgeable and good at spotting animals among the vast bush. During Safaris, he also shared much information of wild animals' habits and characteristics, which is quite interesting to us.
We have recommended East Africa Exotic Safaris to our friends and colleagues, hope we can come back soon and book another Safari trip with EAES.

Efficient, honest tour company for arranging wildlife trips in southern Africa
Good company which arranged for us a 4 day (3 night) trip in Kafue National Park, Zambia. Pick-up from Lusaka was punctual & comfortable. Lodge was pleasant & quiet, with good meals & various activities as agreed & noted in our itinerary. Mr Collins Kalonga remained in contact with us throughout our time in Kafue NP to make sure that all is well; we were not disappointed. Everything was perfect. Later, we had the pleasure of meeting Collins in Livingstone where he helped us in several ways. I have no hesitation in recommending Southern Dynasty to other travellers who wish to visit southern Africa.

Wonderful honeymoon safari
Our African safari with Lion King Adventures was an absolute dream come true! Standing with Pendo who booked the trip, was very patient and came up with several different options to make sure it met our desired length of stay and level of accommodations. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, our honeymoon felt incredibly special thanks to the choice of lodges that exuded luxury and charm. The breathtaking landscapes, magnificent wildlife, and enchanting sunsets made every day unforgettable.
However, what truly set this experience apart was our incredible tour guide, Enock. He was not just a guide, but a storyteller, a friend, and a true ambassador of Tanzania. Enock went above and beyond to ensure we didn't miss a single wonder of this beautiful country. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality made the journey even more extraordinary.
Every step of the tour surpassed our wildest expectations. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and genuine connection with both nature and the people. If you're planning an African adventure, take our word for it – ask for Enock as your guide; he will make your journey a memory to cherish forever.
Thank you, Lion King Adventures, for making our honeymoon safari an experience beyond words. We are forever grateful for the memories you've helped us create.

Reliable
We had a great experience on safari in Tanzania. Our tour guide James was kind, reliable, and knowledgeable. We got to see so many beautiful landscapes and animals! Amazing experience! We especially loved our stay in the Serengeti at one of the mobile camps. My regret was that we should have stayed for at least 1 or 2 more night since the treck out there is quite bumpy and dusty.

Perfect safari
We went on a Gamewatchers Safari to the OI Kinyei Conservancy, Mara in September. It was our first safari and first visit to Kenya. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Gamewatchers (Porini Camps). Everything was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! There was not one detail of our stay that Gamewatchers had not thought through, making it such a wonderful experience. Here I will just point out a couple of things that made the stay so perfect. Our Maasai guides, Jackson and Joshua, went out of their way to show us wildlife on each of our safaris, ensure we were comfortable, well taken care of and prepared for our safaris each day. Even on our last morning, unplanned, they rushed to our tent and urged us to move quickly to come and see something really special. We ran to the jeep, jumped in and they drove us to see a pride of lions eating a newly killed wildebeest. It was incredible to be just a few metres away from lions growling and devouring their kill. Also, I cannot state this strongly enough, Jackson and Joshua were wonderful engaging with our 16 year old son. They included him in our conversations, talked with him, and got him interested in everything we were experiencing. We stayed in a tent at the Ol Kinyei Conservancy and everything was beautiful. The staff think of every little detail to make your stay perfect, from the glass bottled water in the bathrooms, to hot water bottles under your bed covers at night, to the gorgeous decor and design within the tent, etc. The food was perfect and we loved sitting outside having our afternoon lunch watching gazelles and other animals grazing right near to us. After this safari, we did a budget safari with another company. The experiences between the two companies were like night and day. If you can afford it, do go with Gamewatchers, knowing that the money you pay will provide you with an unforgettably wonderful experience, but also support conservation efforts in Kenya, as well as support local Maasai communities.

Wonderful!
Really well organized tour to the national park. We had a great guide (Ali), who lives very close to the national park himself and knew his way around really well.
We were flown directly into the national park in a small Cessna, where our guide was already waiting. We decided on a private tour so that we could decide for ourselves what we saw. Our guide brought drinks with him in a cool box. We saw elephants, giraffes, crocodiles, hippos, wild boars, monkeys, lions and zebras.
We spent the night in a hotel nearby. Even here, a wild elephant ran through the facility as a matter of course.
The next day we visited a Maasai village which was very authentic. We then went on a boat trip.
Everything was well planned without any long waiting times. Thank you for the great trip!

Complete, all what we expected.
We enjoyed very much our Safari and our stay in Kenya. Julius was a very kind and friendly guide, always seeking for our comfort not only in his guide duties but beyond (took us to buy cloth because I left my pants home, waited patiently for us when we overslept). He is a very knowledgeable man regarding animals and plants from the areas we visited, he could always give a proper response to our questions.
Regarding the accommodations, they were all very nice and beautiful, each one in a different manner. Amboseli gave us a more comfortable and luxurious space meawhile Olengoti was a more real, wild experience with the hippos and the Masais guarding us during every step. On the other hand, Ziwa was also really nice, maybe a little bit outdated but still very nice on its own cozy way.

Amazing safari trip experience with Suricata safaris!
Me and my boyfriend went on the four day group trip and had an amazing time. We stayed at lodges which was very convenient. Our guide, Max, was friendly and helped us find all the animals we wanted to see and made us feel safe in the car. We enjoyed the delicious cooked lunch meals by the chef Tito. Can really recommend Suricata for this trip!

Great budget safari tour
The budget accommodation was very comfortable, there's hot shower and everything is pretty clean. Game drive with Dickson was super fun, he's very knowledgeable about the animals and gave us a lot of information. All in all very good experience, I would recommend this tour.
