Perfect safari with a brilliant guide!
We are on our honeymoon and chose the 7-day safari tour with Lion King. With so many companies to choose from, it was a difficult choice, but having read the outstanding reviews for Lion King, we decided to go with them. We could not be happier with the choice we made - if anything, they even surpassed the glowing reviews!
It was the trip of a lifetime - the company were brilliant from the very start, the booking process was easy, the accommodation was outstanding, but above all else, we were lucky enough to have the most brilliant guide: RICHARD!
He was truly the reason our trip was so special. His genuine enthusiasm when he saw an animal matched our own, and his care and knowledge of the animals we saw was excellent. Not to mention his expert driving through the Serengeti on the road to see the cheetahs and lions! He was a special person to meet and we counted ourselves so fortunate to have him as our guide.
The food and drinks (including a personalised wine bottle!) were brilliant all week. We felt lucky when we had our lunch with a full table laid out for us with tasty hot food, compared with the packed lunches we saw from the other companies. The lodges and camp were also excellent - we even saw an elephant walk through camp in the Serengeti!
We could not recommend Lion King, and Richard in particular, enough. We have already encouraged family and friends to book with them, and would not hesitate to book with Lion King again if we ever came back.

Best safari package in a short notice!
Salimu was extremely responsive with all the communication and thoughrally answered all our questions regarding the safari. He organized all the necessary transfers and flights from Zanzibar to the Safari tour and back. Plus a very warm welcome during the arrival day.
Our Safari driver Frank was very skilled and had a knack of finding all the rare game for us with the best views. We enjoyed our 4-day game drive in Terengire National Park, Ngorongoro conservation area, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater National Park. We saw a lot of elephants, giraffes, lions, ostriches, zebras, buffalos, gasells, wildebeests, hyenas, hippos and many more. We were also able to spot several Rhinos, few cheetahs and even 2 leopards!
We believe we had the best accomodation available with the short notice around the new years eve - there was one downgrade to regular tent due to unavailability but the facilities at the Simba A campsite in Ngorongoro were in very good condition with hot showers. Just make sure you are a camper type of a person and take warm clothes with you.
We thoughrally enjoyed our stay in Moyo Luxury Camp in Serengeti - wish we could have stayed there even longer.
The food by our cooks was average but fulfilling.
Overall we were very happy with our Safari and give strong recommendations for the operator.

Great experience with Seven Wonders
We had a wonderful safari and a great three trip to Kilimanjaro area with 7 wonders. We got to spend the safari with three different guides and we are very thankful that they drove us to see so many beautiful landscapes and wild animals. We felt like our driver guides always had our best interest at heart. The booking is maybe a little adventurous for Europeans (it was the same with with every company we asked for a quote) but Tanzanian people are really reliable and always make everything work as promised. I find that when planning a trip it's always good to contact the company or the hosts per whatsapp to get the best and fastest information. (Don't just book online without contact with the companies)
We spend a wonderful time in Tanzania - also thanks to 7 wonders. Asante sana.

Really fun time at the safari
We originally booked our safari with another company but also got to do a part of it with Douglas of Meru Slopes. We enjoyed his explanations about everything we asked and efforts to find animals very very much and had a lot of fun with him. Thank you for the great adventure together. Asante sana

Great safari experience with Hyrax Safaris
It is a great safari experience with Hyrax Safaris in Kenya. We have explored many fantastic places / cities during our 9-day trip, and seen various wild animals closely, even those rare species. The recommended hotels are clean / tidy and serve good quality of food. Definitely, this is a memorable trip and hope to visit Kenya in the future.

An Outstanding 5 Days Safari In Kenya
What I just experienced during my 5 days Kenya safari is just beyond words. An experience I never thought I could have, a safari delivered in a very professional way, very thankful to African Vulture Safaris for making this work out. All went as planned.

Top service - highly recommended!
We went on a 16-day safari and beach trip (Lower Zambezi - South Luangwa and Lake Malawi) in November, organized by Crafted Africa based on our personal preferences. It was a fantastic collaboration from the first moment of contact. Mike and his team were always available before and during the trip. Any inquiries were promptly addressed. We booked the international flights ourselves; however, Crafted Africa took care of everything else, and it all went seamlessly: shuttle services, domestic flights, accommodations – everything was impeccable!
Not to mention the unique nature experiences – Mike didn't promise too much! We had the pleasure of experiencing most wonderful moments and are very, very grateful to Mike and his team.

Very knowledgeable tour operator
We enjoyed the guided tour of Kruger National Park. We saw many different animals, some very close to the road. The tour operator was very knowledgeable about the various animals and the park itself. Would definitely use Elephant Herd Tour and Safari company again.

It was the trip of a lifetime!
We had always dreamed of exploring Africa and, with the help of Giltedge and our agent Liz Rampfshaw, our dreams came true. We stayed at four different nature preserves over a two week period – three in Botswana and one in South Africa. The accommodations were first-class and the sights we saw were breathtaking thanks to the expert guides. Our communication with the people at Giltedge was excellent every step of the way and we knew what to expect. I highly recommend them if you are considering a trip like this!

Excellent 10 Days Covering Kenya and Tanzania
Excellent 10 Days Covering Kenya and Tanzania. We booked 10 days in Kenia and Tazania Tour with Josana Tours. Everything was amazing.
Our main contact was Antony, who helped us organize all, accommodation booking, airport and hotel transfers including transfers between the 2 countries and the game drives too. He was available to provide all the information about the tour. Our drivers in both Kenia and Tazania were good, thru helped us see many animals, and birds. There was rains in Kenya for the last 2 day in Amboleli Parc but Sammy our guide proved his ability to drive us in muds looking for animals. It was absolutely an experience of a lifetime for us. We thank Josana Tours organization for giving us everlasting memories of Africa. We appreciate and recommend them.
