Very friendly and knowledgeable
The tour unfolds very naturally moving through some explanation of the origins and history of Johannesburg. This helps contextualize Soweto. There is lots of explanation and nothing feels rushed. Good value for the price

Absolutely incredible in every way, and made our trip as great as it was!
This trip was so much more than we could have dreamed! Benjamin our guide was absolutely amazing! He was very knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and the best about making sure we were getting the best angles on viewing animals and was so good about spotting and finding animals! We saw even more than we could have hoped for. We saw the big five and so many other animals we were really hoping for, as well as so many baby animals which I loved! Baby cheetahs, lions, monkeys, zebra, so amazing. We also enjoyed chatting with Benjamin during down time and long drives. Our experience would not have been as great as it was without him.
We loved every single lodge we stayed at. Every single night I said “I don’t know how the next one could beat this one” and then it would! Lion King truly does a great job of picking the best lodges. They were all so beautiful and the people were so kind. Embalakai was one of our favorites because of the people and the unique experience of staying in a tented lodge in the middle of the Serengeti, it’s unlike anything else. They sang to us our second night and it was one of our favorite memories of the entire trip. Ngorongoro Marera lodge was so beautiful and we loved it!!
The food the entire trip was extraordinary! We enjoyed every single meal we ate! I wish we could take one of the chefs home with us.
I may have missed specific details, but truly the whole experience was exceptional. We wish we could have stayed even longer and hope to come back in the future.
We are so thankful we were able to have this experience and that we chose Lion King. If you’re contemplating going or who to go with you absolutely cannot go wrong here. It will be everything and more than you hope for!!! Thank you all so much.

Amazing
The tour was amazing!
Logistics, foods, safari, all are well prepared and hosted.
We are really satisfied the experience.
One thing we should note is it is important to be ready for camping with enough goods to survive!

Very reliable operator and extremely good guide.
Me and my wife joined a 3-day private safari in June. From the first moment Midian was very kind and quick to solve the problems. He helped us to arrange the time, budget and locations of the safari with infinite patience. Despite our rapidly changing plans, he tirelessly produced new alternatives, and we have to thank him for that. You can feel free to negotiate with Midian to choose suitable places according to your schedule and budget.
Apart from this, I need to open a separate parenthesis for our guide, Filemoni. Thanks to his endless curiosity and excitement, we were able to see all the animals we wanted to see from the most beautiful angles. If you take your safari with African Chitah i hope you come across this smart, talented and curious man Filemoni. I'm sure he will do anything to show you even more than what you want to see.
I should also point out that the lodges and camps they worked in were very good and comfortable.
It was a safari that we were completely satisfied with and I would definitely recommend it.

Great assistance for an exceptional safari experience
The safari trip we booked with Christella at Gonnawanda Tours was WAY beyond our expectations. We highly recommended Gonawanda Tours and Pom Pom Safari camp in Botswana.
We used Gonawanda Tours to book our safari to Botswana because they had a very high guest rating in Trip Advisor, this rating is clearly well deserved. We worked with Christelle and she helped us book a trip that started in Victoria Falls ant then on to two safari camps in Botswana. Her advice in the planning process was very good. She listened to what we wanted, our budget, came up with solid recommendations, and worked to make changes to make the trip fit our needs. It was very nice to work with someone so knowledgeable, helpful and patient.
The safaris were WAY beyond expectations. We stayed at Chobe Bakwana and Pom Pom camps. Each had different experiences and both were worth it. The stay in PomPom was particularly excellent. It was in a private reserve and so we were able to drive off the track to track animals, take a walking safari, and do night drives. We were kept awake at night by the calls of hyenas, impalas and lions. Very cool. In front of our lodge was a watering hole that was filled with an ever changing array of wildlife. We sat on the deck to watch zebras, elephants, wildebeest, warthogs and other animals drink and play in the water. The driver and tracker were excellent. It was very interesting to watch them find animal prints on the ground and track the animals. They were successful as we saw leopards, lions, wild dogs and many many grazing animals. This was the trip of a life-time.

A family business with passion and expertise welcoming guests with tailor made tours to Kenya
Crimson Brooke Safari organised our once in a lifetime safari holiday to Kenya with ease and expertise - no ask was too much. Only knowing the number of days we had to spend in Kenya, Amos and Betty organised the perfect safari experience, offering continuous options and open to specific requests. From start to finish, the team were always available on email and WhatsApp. During the trip they were always there to answer questions that came up and even went above and beyond to organise a last minute trip to a museum.
The quality of the accommodation Crimson Brooke sourced for us was out of this world - perfect from start to finish with everything included. They also organised all travel throughout the trip, organising for a kind and knowledgeable driver to look after us for the first few days.
Whilst this trip was a treat I do believe it was excellent value for money given the price included everything.
Leaving the holiday, Betty and Amos’ kindness is what you remember. They went above and beyond to give us incredible experiences and spend time with us. We would work with them again anytime, recommend them and see them as new friends.
There is no other choice for your next holiday to Kenya!

Fabulous trip in Kenya
Thank you Earthwings for organising such a adventurous trip.
We really enjoyed our 6 day stay in Kenya and saw a lot of wildlife.
I highly appreciate your personal assistance in everything right from beginning of the booking process to the execution.
I recommend Martin and team to fulfill all the commitments and is highly trustworthy for booking a trip to Kenya.
Their private safari offering is what I was looking for a decent and more personal experience.

Outstanding Safari tour
We did the 4 day camping safari and it was one of the best experiences we've ever had. Our guide Rocky and our chef Pius made this experience simply fantastic, above all expectations. Every meal prepared by the chef was simply delicious, with many different courses, one better than the other. Our guide showed us the best of the parks, we were able to see many animals up close and he explained many things to us, as well as making us have a lot of fun! The campsites were also in the middle of the parks, and elephants and zebras passed by our tents, something incredible. I couldn't be more satisfied. Many thanks also to all the staff who took care of us from our arrival at the airport to our departure. I hope to see you soon again for other experiences in Tanzania!
