Amazing Experience
The organizing and coordinating for our trip was above average. Great communication and navigating through changes. We had even made a mistake on our booking date and Mattaw Safaris worked hard just days before the trip to help us get things adjusted. This wasn't Mattaw's error, we confirmed to them the wrong date without paying attention, and still they went above and beyond to help us.
We went on safari as a family of six with another family of three. We had children ages 2, 6, 10 and 15 with our family. I was very impressed with the engagement the team had with our kids, explaining things to them, helping them stay engaged and being understanding to our needs for a schedule that worked well for little ones. Their excitement about our safari made the experience even better. Their knowledge was fascinating, we learned so much too. The flexibility to our needs really helped us have one of the best family vacations ever!
The animals were amazing. All of our animal wishes were checked off, which I was really excited about because you can't guarantee that, wildlife does its own thing. Seeing everything was a mixture of Steve and Charles working hard to find what we wanted to see and the animals also cooperating.
I would highly recommend a trip to the Maasai Mara and if you want a trip where the company cares for your needs and connects with you, that is what we found with Mattaw Safari.

What a life experience!
We did a 5 day safari and 6 day killi climb both with Bobby Camping Safaris. All details of both trip were precise and perfect. So many factors went in to both aspects of the trip and it was all seamless. Murtaza was excellent in his communications before and after our adventures. Jolie’s and Elias were perfect safari guides. Jolis was patient, happy, and easy going with our silly group. Elias were hard on perfect meals. On our climb aspect the team that was put together for our successful climb was amazing. 15 people helped support the 6 of us. Our guide, Mohammad, lead his team and provided us with a sense of security and success. Our assistant guides, Inno and Winna, provided a perfect pace and we all had a blast again with the sillyness of our group. The porter team was phenomenal. These guys carried our world all the way up the mountain, with each of them with a HUGE smile on their face. We appreciate all that Bobby Camping Safarisdid to make our experience in Tanzania amazing. HIGHLY recommend this company!

Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli 7 days Safari + airport pick up
This had always been the trip that we dreamed of taking. Since it was our first safari, Karibu Safaris in Kenya, especially Peter (our guide/drive) made it enjoyable and entertaining.
Karibu Safaris is a company that we would recommend. From the first contact with Robert, provided all details and replied very quick. We contacted to a few more companies, but Karibu Safaris was a quick one with a affordable price. As it was our first safari had many questions in addition to our privet research. Each question was answered quickly. We did a lot of price comparison and their prices were reasonable. We had chosen 7 days safari trip to 4 different parks with a private transport. Robert provided 3 different alternatives of accommodation for selection. So we had an opportunity to make own research. From the first contact they also informed that the transportation from the airport to hotel vice versa will the provided as complimentary. Good point!
Peter guide/ driver/ entertainer was fantastic. No words can describe how much we appreciated this man. He was an expert and made the whole experience worth every penny! Ask for him! He was so well-experienced, knowledgeable and with a good sense of hummer. First of all, he was a great driver as he knows all roads in/outside of parks. He knew where to find the animals, for example, exact area of lion-family inhabited, or when the lionesses will hunt, always found the best position to take photos, was patient when we wanted to take a picture/video, described all animals, habitats, answered to all our questions about the animals, African culture, food, souvenirs, etc. He made our trip cheerful and bright with lot of a funny moments.
First two days we spent in Masai Mara park, stayed at Jambo Mara Lodge. Despite of the fact hotel is new, we don’t recommend this hotel since it was outside of park. Everything is modern, and no sign of wildness. Masai village visit was remarkable. Peter arranged private tour. Also we took a balloon safari. It was bright spot of our safari. It was amazing, fabulous and unforgettable experience. We highly recommend our captain Gena Svircool. Well-qualified and knowledgeable! He was the best! He made a great experience, an amazing one.

The next trip was to lake Nakuru in Nakuru Lake Lodge. Most beautiful of all the lodges with an amazing garden and spectacular view over the lake! Stunning place to stay! We felt like we lived in an wonderful botanic garden. We would have liked to stay a bit longer.
Next one was lake Naivasha. Stayed at Lake Naivasha Country club with a different animals in the garden. We walked and took a pictures among of the animals right in front of our lodge. Really enjoyed our time there. The boat trip is mandatory!
Last two days of our safari were in Amboseli park at Kibo Safari camp with a view to Kilimanjaro. It was our first camp experience in the wild! It was fabulous! The tents were luxurious. The services was nice. Restaurant was in a safari style with a various choice and it was a tribal Masai dances after dinner next to the bonfire with a view to Kilimanjaro! There was wildlife all around the resort.
Unfortunately, we could not make Big five. Leopards were hidden from us. Hope next time we will be more lucky!!!

Efficient and friendly
The booking process was easy we used a great lady by the name Robi, and our reservation were sent on time. She was reachable by phone and tracked our arrival day and departure day. One of the hotels was not aware of our arrival day but a call to Robi and it was immediately sorted.

Amazing Travel!!
The skill of a guide can be seen in the moment of the unexpected.
we went on holiday in January 2020. Euro was very easy to do business with, we regularly communicated until we made our mind up.
We were met at the airport by a friendly representative who took us to our first hotel. Our main driver, Musa popped by later to introduce himself.
The safari was challenging, some of the days were long but we knew that beforehand and it meant we got to see most of the great parks of Uganda. I loved everything they had laid on and Musa was very knowledgeable. I would have given this company 5 stars anyway but they excelled themselves with their care.
Unfortunately I developed shingles whilst travelling and so they drove me back to Kampala from Kidepo to get to a hospital. Victor then accompanied me all day at the hospital whilst I was seen by 3 consultants. Musa then took me back to continue my itinerary. They had to rearrange several hotels which all happened for me seamlessly. I was still quite poorly and Musa took amazing care and adapted the trip to suit. I had to miss the gorilla trek due to my infection so I am going back when I'm completely recovered and it will definitely be with Euro Uganda Safaris.
Many thanks guys.

Dream safari in Tanzania with Lion King Adventures
The Safari experience with Lion King Adventures was absolutely incredible. We literally couldn't come up with anything that could be improved, it was excellent!
The Lion King Adventures was very supportive and responsive to our questions, organized a very impressive service for us. The guide that we had was well informed about anything we asked and cared a lot about our experience. We also had everything we wanted on board - delicious food, wine, beer and so on.
The safari tour itself was planned and executed very well. We liked the itinerary very much and how we had enough time to see the animals we wanted. They went far and beyond with this trip, we are honestly very impressed.
That being said, we highly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to experience Safari in Tanzania.
Thank you Lion King Adventures!
