Highly recommend safari company!
We contacted many safari operators, and finally worked with Martin Mugo, the boss of this company, on our trip. He is very detail orientated and answered all our questions quickly (mostly within 24hour). He also use WhatsApp, and Line, so that we can contact him very easily. He can personalize the safari under your request. We have a wonderful time in Kenya and Tanzania. If you have any requests just text Martin. I definitely recommend this company.

Amazing trip to discover Tanzania.
Amazing trip to discover Tanzania. After a great experience at Kilimanjaro, we spent one night in Arusha. During that evening we had a meeting with our guide Amani who presented us the Safari plan. Next morning he picked us up from the hotel and took us to National Parks: Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti in which we spent 5 days, probably 5 days too little. For me The Serengeti Park was the most beautiful :) We were lucky to see so many animals, they practically were at your fingertips! I did not believe that you can be so close and watch them in their natural environment for hours and hours. Many times, thanks to the necessary patience and the faltering eye of our guide, we witnessed hunting. Our guide was fantastically prepared. He told us everything about animals and answered all our questions as we had a lot of them. His knowledge about birds filled us with loads of information. The camps were well prepared and clean, the food was tasty and the evening bonfires as well as sky full of stars were a nice end to the end of the day. We really enjoyed our company.
Asante Sana Allen Tanzania Safaris.

The best safari tour service in Kenya
I would highly recommend to join safari program tour with Safaribookings. Fredinah is always available to serve you in any queries with fully information recommended. Safari driver is the strength point for the whole program. He can explain and give knowledge about all animal wilds we met. Price is strongly reasonable as well.

Incredible Safari Experience
My wife and our friends just finished a 7 day safari with Tazama Safaris, guided by Antony. It was, in a word, incredible. Antony, the owner of the company and our guide, was the consummate professional. Below are some notes on our safari.
The Wildlife Experience: We saw it all. In fact, in one day in Masai Mara, we saw all of the Big Five. We also saw five cheetahs and a hippo up close. We witnessed two lion mating sessions and two (failed) lion hunts. Despite knowing that there is a fair amount of luck involved in which animals you get to see, we would jokingly tell Antony at the beginning of each game drive that we needed to see a leopard (or a cheetah or a rhino). Without fail, we saw each of those animals within a couple hours after making the request. Once it was clear which animal we were interested in, he was active on the radio communicating with drivers across the park. He was almost as excited to see each of the animals as we were, even though he has been to the parks countless times. He casually mentioned toward the end of the safari that he has served as a guide and driver for professional photographers from BBC and National Geographic, so he has lots of experience finding the animals. I cannot guarantee that anyone will be as lucky as we were, but I can wholeheartedly recommend Antony as a dedicated guide that prioritizes your safari experience.
Guide: Antony was a very gracious and polite guide. He was very friendly and social with us, but also knew when to let us rest and relax on the long rides between parks. He has a strong knowledge of the animals and their habits and was able to answer all of our questions. At a couple of the lodges, he asked the staff if we could have breakfast early, so as to get on the drives as soon as possible.
Communication: Antony was responsive to emails. He responded with a personalized itinerary and quote within 24 hours, even though he was busy leading a safari himself. It was clear he had read the email closely, as his itinerary was exactly in line with our preferences. Before we began the safari, Antony went over the itinerary again with us to verify it. Throughout the trip, Antony was very considerate of our preferences. He offered suggestions—which we always took—but he was willing to be flexible based on our needs.
Payment: We paid via credit card in two installments. At first I was leery of paying through PesaPal, but it is quite common in Kenya. My credit card company would not let the initial payment through, but after I notified them via email, there were no issues.
Value: Antony’s quote came in significantly cheaper than another quote I received, even though both had the same lodges/camps. We all felt that the lodges were very nice for the price we paid. We were glad we paid extra for the Land Cruiser, as the roads can be bumpy and rough. He does offer a van safari at a lower price though.
If you are looking for a great value safari led by an exceptional guide, I highly recommend Tazama Safaris. It was the quintessential safari experience, and I would not have changed a thing.

Excellent customisable family friendly staff and company
We are a Malaysian Muslim family travelled to Tanzania in Dec 2018 (me, wife and 3 kids, 14yrs, 11yrs and 7yrs old). Once in a lifetime experience should be managed by a reliable and trustworthy company. The priority should be to match what the tourist wants and with good advice from local guides. We are very happy from the very first email lion king replied to us. The email negotiation about plans and price was very reassuring as it clearly shows that they are very meticulous in providing us the best suggestions and quotes. Our whole journey was highly customisable according to our needs and it extended beyond the safari trip. We ended up letting lion king adventures managed our entire Tanzania trip! We only managed our own flight tickets... We are very fortunate that our safari trip was smooth and, weather was good. But more importantly lion king adventures was very reliable and the description and timing of their plan was very good. The accomodation
choice was excellent to maximise our experience in Tanzania and our first time experiencing safari trip. Our guide/driver Gilbert was excellent. I was very happy with him looking after my family. It was a very exciting trip for us. And we would recommend a trip to Tanzania... and i would definitely recommend Lion King Adventures to help you get the best of tanzania...

Amazing trip of a lifetime
In October 2018 we went on a trip of our lifetime. We had decided on an 8 day Safari with Shemeji. It turned out even better than we could have ever dreamed. Our guide and driver Adam picked us up in Arusha and off we went on an unforgettable journey. Lake Manyara, Tarangire Nat'Pk, Ngorongoro Crater, Empakaai Crater, Central Serengeti and Lake Natron. Every bit unforgettable, we saw the Big 5, and Leopards in the trees and Cheetahs on the prowl only a few meters from our 4x4 and lots more and all due to Adam's excellent scouting, patience and never tiring enthusiasm. His knowledge and passion made every second special. We also like to mention that in the evenings when we retired to our cool drinks Adam went off to clean and maintain the car for the next day's adventure. We could not have asked for a better guide, driver and companion.
Shemeji is a great tour operator and we only have positive things to say. They are always quick in response and happy to help. A left behind jumper turns up magically on the last day. And the fact that part of their profit goes toward supporting Masai girls' education is a wonderful gesture. Thank you Adam, thank you Anna and thanks to you all at Shemeji

Review about Tsavo West National Park by Ray
Because of its terrain makes it difficult to find that many animals, unlike some other parks. They are there and you will see them but not in the quantity like The Mara. Mzima springs worth a visit
