One thing I can say for sure is that the Safari Tour with Suricata was the best.
One thing I can say for sure is that the Safari Tour with Suricata was the best. Mr. Twalbu gave me enough explanations about the tour before starting the safari tour and listened to our story. He was very kind and he felt good even before the tour started. We booked late and went on a safari tour with another company that is working with Surikata, but it didn't feel bad because there was enough explanation about it. I had a problem with my car during the safari, but the guide responded quickly, so I was able to switch to another car in a short time. Our guides and chefs fulfilled their roles and I was very happy with it. The airport pick-up service and the condition of the accommodation I stayed before the safari tour were also good! Thank you for making good memories, Suricata:)

Canceled safari by operator
We booked our safari two months in advance. 4 days before the date we got a request from the tour operator to re-schedule the date due to organization issues. We managed, re-arranged our schedule. After that it was extremely difficult to communicate to the operator, we received no info, no replies to emails. Complete incommunicado. We only hope that we will receive back the deposit we paid - the safari never happened.
We could still give five star even after a canceled safari as we can understand if there are unforseen technical difficulties during organizing a tour - but at least, talk to your client! Not communicating, not answering emails for days just a few days before a scheduled and then re-scheduled safari, leaving the client in uncertainty deserves nothing but one star.

Always available to answer any questions. Very detail-oriented
Trip of a lifetime!
Lillian organized our 15-day luxury safari and beach trip to Tanzania. She took care of everything. She is always available for any questions. As I was traveling alone with my 2 children (11 and 12), I had some apprehensions. Lillian always reassured me and we had the best trip ever. We felt safe everywhere.
We also had the best driver/guide on the safari part of the trip. I love taking “professional” pictures and our driver himself took pictures as well and therefore understood the locations, lights etc.
All of our accommodations were truly amazing.
I highly recommended Wild Pride Safaries

Professional service with friendly and knowledgeable trips
We did the private Range Rover tour and stayed at Serena Lodge Amboseli. First, David was very helpful and communicative when we reached out for options and pricing. Prices were fair, and having now completed our safari was a great value for the money!
David met up the day of our safari and explained what we'd be doing, local customs on tipping, and introduced us to our guide, Cyrus. We got on the road - it is a long drive from Nairobi (5 hours), but it was pleasant and we stopped a little over halfway there. Cyrus was an excellent guide! We saw everything we wanted to see and then some. The accommodations were nice and the food was good. Staying INSIDE the park was the way to do it!
I highly recommend this tour. It was a short amount of time, but we got a lot out of it. Amboseli is beautiful and the elephants are EVERYWHERE! We saw so much other wildlife too - lion, cheetah, giraffe, water buffalo, flamingos, gazelle, zebra, hyena, secretary bird, hippos, baboons, and more.
The only thing I would do differently is skip the Maasai Village. They asked us for $70 USD when we arrived and then were upselling the whole time. The chief asked for more money once we were in the village. Then they showed us some medicine and asked if we wanted some. Then took us to a "market" of hand made items - nothing has prices, they want you to pick stuff and then "negotiate price" later. And later they wanted us to pay ALOT of money for the things we picked and the medicine. We said we didn't want any of it and they kept insisting we negotiate a price with them. We were exhausted by that time and really just wanted to leave - didn't feel authentic; felt like tourist trap. The Maasai at the resort give you a better feel for the Maasai culture and are super friendly. Plus, they do the traditional Maasai dance each night. As for local made souvenirs, we were able to get great local souvenirs at Village Market in Nairobi on our last night before our flight home.
Amazing, knowledge of animals out this world and his abilities to spot animals in wild is crazy.
Booked this Safari for our hooneymoon for 5 days. From the start the service and communication was exceptional. Once on Safari we were both blown away, was absolutely amazing getting to see the Big 5 in the wild. Accommodation organized was great, comfortable beds, good food and very friendly staff, very clean and great views.
Our Tour guide's James knowledge of every animal big and small was incredible. Totally reccomend this to all,you certainly won't be disappointed. Was an experience of a life time for us.

An incredible Serengeti safari experience
I had an incredible Serengeti safari experience with Lion King Adventures. Our guide, Gama, was extremely knowledgeable and skilled at locating animals. Over the 6-day tour, he expertly navigated us through the vast landscape, identifying animal tracks and knowing exactly where to look.
Gama spotted all of the Serengeti's iconic species - we saw huge herds of wildebeest and zebra migrating, elephants bathing, hippos yawning, big cats like lions and leopards prowling and resting, hyenas cackling, giraffes grazing, and exotic birds like ostriches and flamingos dotting the plains. With every sighting, he shared interesting facts and insights that brought the animals and their behaviors to life.
I was thoroughly impressed by Gama's passion, patience waiting for sightings, and knack for positioning our vehicle for fantastic photos. The tour exceeded my expectations thanks to his expertise. I couldn't recommend Lion King Adventures and guide Gama more highly for an outstanding Serengeti experience.

Experienced and fun tour guides that made my days
We enjoyed our trip with our Bontel guides Kevin and Alan very well. They are professional, knowledgeable, agile and fun. We fully experienced an excited game drive and saw big fives all in one day. Will definitely recommend to our family and friends who are planning to come.
