The guide was AMAZING!!!
A safari in Tanzania is already a trip of a lifetime so i was excited to make it happen. A friend recommended Lion King adventures and they completely exceeded any expectations that i had. Our guide, Saleh, absolutely made our trip and i cannot thank him enough (i'm not much of a tipper but i left him a heavy one!). He was the most personable, kind and accommodating guide with eyes like a bald eagle, spotting things that we could barely see with binoculars! With some very long and bumpy drives, i could only imagine what it would be like if Saleh wasn't the way he was. He taught me some Swahili, i got to know more about him and his family alongside Tanzanian culture, and he was super knowledgable with everything we asked about the animals. We stayed in 3 lodges during our visit...
Tarangire Ndovu Tented Lodge (1 night) - So scenic and tranquil with great food and service
Nyota Luxury camp (2 nights) - This exceeded expectations with the beauty, friendly staff and the food was great... we had a private dinner while lightning was striking across the sky of the serengeti and wildebeest and buffalo were not more than 30m away (Maasai security were sharp!)
Ngorogoro Oledani Mountain Lodge - beautiful luxury rooms on a huge compound with exemplary service.
I proposed to my girlfriend on this trip and with the help of Saleh and Lion King adventures, it was an experience that we will never forget! Thank you so much for an amazing Safari!
if you book with Lion King, make sure you request Saleh as a tour guide if possible!

Exelent. The best one. Recomend to everybody
I'm not the first time with Jocky tours. I wss in Kenia last winter, and will make safary with them i n the next February. Helen always answers very fast and correct. Johny is the best guide, he is doing his best to.make you happy. Also they organize the baloon trip, the feelings during the flight were idiscribable, and finely- breakfast with the animals in the middle of Masai Mara. The hotels are perfect. Sarova Mara is one of the best lodges in Kenia. European and local food. Not far from the entrance. Sopa Naivashi is also good. Recomend you to test local red wines and mild kenian coffe.

Outstanding
We had an amazing three-week holiday in Namibia during July 2022. Hanneke from African Wanderer’s was brilliant. We were travelling with our children (aged 8 and 10 years old) and had never been to Africa before.
Hanneke built us an amazing itinerary with wonderful lodges and activities. She was on hand for questions (there were lots!), and we kept in regular contact while travelling in Namibia. The detail of the itinerary was great, even down to recommended lunch stops along the journey. I highly recommend African Wanderer; being based in Namibia gave them a great insider knowledge of the area, which was important when travelling with children.
Thank you, Hanneke and African Wanderer, for making our adventure special!

Very supportive, reliable and client oriented
We booked a private safari via Safari Update Travels to Amboseli.
During requesting a quote and booking process, Linsel was very helpful and prompt in answering all our questions.
We were received by Linsel and his colleague at the airport early in the morning and escorted to our car. After giving us all necessary instructions, we started our great tour.
The tour was very well organized and everything went as planned.
Big thanks to our great driver Peter! He was very professional, experienced and has a decent knowledge about all national parks that we visited.
We highly recommend this operator.

Good
We booked our safari with Wecam through our friend who referred them to us, at first we were very hesitant because of some negative review we saw online but to out surprise everything went on well, our friend convinced us to trust the company and they delivered beyond our expectations.
To our driver Mike for Kenya and Jerald for Tanzania thank you soo much for this wonderful trip, and thank you to the Wecam team for making our safari memorable.

Perfect 8-day Safari with Marurumi Safaris & our guide Jasan.
Jasan's kindness, knowledge, patience and attentiveness to our requests were outstanding. His professionalism and experience as both a driver and guide made our journey unforgettable.
Jasan was highly considerate of our comfort and needs, going above and beyond to fulfill our wishes, such as visiting a church and observing specific birds. He had extensive knowledge of birds, wildlife, and kenya in general. We felt completely safe and at ease throughout the safari. As a driver, Jasan demonstrated great skill, making our travels smooth and enjoyable. His approach perfectly matched our Scandinavian sensibilities and overall, Jasan provided a top-notch safari experience.
The communication with the company was excellent, with quick and responsive interactions that ensured all our queries were promptly addressed.
The trip itinerary, drives and payment was exactly as arranged with Marurumi Safaris. We opted for a budget safari with lodges outside of the park and we’re overall satisfied with the accommodation, staff and food. Marurumi were flexible and were happy to let us arrange two extra days in Naivasha with upgraded accommodation of our choice.
We highly recommend Marurumi Safaris for a well-planned and personalised safari adventure.

Outstanding Tour Operator in Tanzania - Safari Soles
Recently, me and our friends went on a private 11-days safari organized by Safari Soles including Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater with Maasi Village Visit & hiking to Materuni waterfall. My tour guide, Izak Marangu, made my first safari trip truly memorable and incredible!
Our guide and driver, Izak, provided 5-stars service to us and his professional knowledge on the animals & eco system and driving skills are bravo. Furthermore, his humorous character always made us full of joy through out our 11-days safari. Izak tried his best to find the big cats for us, such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos and even the black rhinos. Finally, we were so lucky to see the big five and many many other species in the national parks. Izak, you’re great!
On the last day of our game drives, there has been a problem on the wheel. Izak considered the situation of our safety and arranged us to stay in a safe place. Then he replaced a new wheel on the jeep immediately and accurately. We all thanked his professionalism in managing all the things along our safari trip. Safari Soles exceeded our expectations and definitely making our safari in Tanzania amazing! Thank you so much for making us a unforgettable adventure in Tanaznia.
I have no doubt to recommend Safari Soles to anyone looking for a perfect safari operator.

Professional, providing exceptional customer service and fantastic tour experience
Excellent communication from onset with speedy response to queries. Outstanding customer service throughout. Well planned and organised tours in Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar. As well as fascinating game drives in Massai Mara and Serengeti seeing the Big Five, we were also immersed in the history and culture of the countries and had a relaxing beach stay in Zanzibar! The lodges and hotels we stayed at were of a high standard with good food. Our guides Kevin and Vincent were very knowledgeable, friendly and contributed greatly in our very memorable tour. The tour was good value for money. Fredrick did a fantastic job. We absolutely loved our tour.

Such a great experience
We had such a great experience with Crater Explorer! We booked the trip from Italy and Emmanuel planned everything according to our requests. We did a group Safari, which in our opinion is the best choice in terms of price and of sharing experiences. The first thing that you need to know with a group Safari is that you need to be flexible and patient because sometimes can happen to change group or guide or plans, the thing that will never change are the parks you have to visit according to your choice. We had the opportunity to see the big five and many other animals, our guides were amazing! Also the food and the accommodations were good.
We strongly suggest this experience and crater explorer made everything perfect!
