Fantastic, professional and well organized.
Zanzibar was our relaxing time, sun , the ocean, nice food and friendly people.
Safari in Tanzania was fantastic.
Our safari guide Deo took us to every breathtaking moments from lake Manyara to the Serengeti.
To see the most beautifull landscapes and the amazing wildlife.
We learned al lot about the people of Tanzania, their culture, some Swahili words and songs.
It was a lifetime experience we wil never forget.

Seamless operations, warm, and thoughtful
Going on an African safari is an adventure we dreamed off for a long time. We knew it’d be expensive and we knew there could be many unknowns. So we spent time with friends who were veterans of 12(!) safaris in the past 20 years.
They recommended Travel Waves and one other operator. Edwina won me over with her prompt responses and thoughtful planning. She was very patient with my many questions over the subsequent months.. as our excitement continued to build.
Once we landed, we had an airline related mishap that required a small change in plans. Edwina met us in Arusha and helped us get it all sorted.
Anwar was our guide in Tanzania. He was exceptional - in his knowledge and ability to spot animals and birds. He was very knowledgeable, very engaging, and did a great job matching our energy. He realized quickly that we were animal obsessed - so we just did full day safaris every day with packed lunches (which also works well with the distances and roads in the Serengeti). Thanks to Anwar, we finished our Tanzania leg feeling very knowledgeable!
Once we transferred to Kenya, Tom took over. He was a gentleman - thoughtful and friendly. After a lovely run in the Maasai Mara and Lake Naivasha, we had another mishap that required plans to be changed on the last day. Tom was wonderful - helping us work through some embassy related work before we flew.
When Edwina came to see us off, we just had compliments for the excellent organization, warmth, and thoughtfulness. We also promised to spread the word on the incredible experience we had.. starting with this review. :)

Made sure everything went smoothly!
This was an amazing, not to be missed experience! I couldn’t afford an extended day safari so this one day experience was great! We saw lions, giraffe, elephants, hippos, monkeys, baboon, zebra, wildebeest and so much more! I highly recommend this experience!

The Best Safari Tour Operator we have ever used
We couldn’t be happier with Blessing Safaris for the wonderful job they did on our recent Tanzania safari. Five stars on anybody’s rating system isn’t enough. From the day I first contacted them to our final arrival at home from the trip they exceeded our expectations.
It has been a pleasure to work with Elibariki Simon on planning the trip. I’m sure we worked on this for nearly a year. He was responsive to my every question. I know that I contacted him at times that were late in the evening for him, yet he always responded quickly. He listened and understood everything I ever asked. He recorded my requirements and preferences. We made revisions at times. These were always accurately captured and rolled into a planner file that fully documented our trip.
We were blessed to get Mr. Zoya as our guide. Zoya has been guiding people in the Serengeti for 40 years. He is most knowledgeable and knows just about everyone out there. At nearly every stop someone was calling out his name, shaking his hand, or giving him a hug. He was entirely plugged in to communication throughout every part of our adventure by stopping to communicate with other drivers as we crossed paths. He knew where every animal we wanted to see was likely to be and demonstrated 100% success finding all that we asked.
Our trip started in Arusha, went to Tarangire National Park where we stayed at the Tarangire Sopa Lodge. From there we went to Lake Manyara and enjoyed a night at Manyara Secret. After that we went to Ngorongoro Crater and stayed two nights at Ngorongoro Serena. The drive from there is about 5 hours over very rough roads, so while Mr. Zoya drove the vehicle ahead of us, we were dropped off at the Arusha airport and took a plane there. We had four days in the Serengeti. We stayed three nights at Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge and one at Sametu. As we departed from our dear friend Zoya he took us to the airport where we flew to Zanzibar and stayed in an overwater bungalow at Konokono Isaraya. This was truly a magical experience that was executed without a flaw. This professionalism makes Blessing Safaris the truly excellent safari company that they are. I invite anyone considering Blessing Safaris to contact me directly if they need any further referral.

Wonderful Experience
Wonderful Experience in Tanzania. It was an 8 days tour well planned and organized. All was as discussed and agreed from Italy both the hotel and the game drive.
Before, During and After tour Amis and Yohanna were available to support us and answer to our questions.The result is a great, safe and unforgettable experience.
Serengeti is incredible and I really suggest to spend at least 2 days there and enjoy the night lost in the nature. Optional night safari was a really particular experience too. All in all the tour exceed our expectation.

Fabulous safari experience
Lion King did a fabulous job providing exactly what we planned. They were communicative, organized and worked with us every step of the way to organize a safari to our budget and specifications.
Geoffrey was a great guide who found every animal we hoped to see and kept us on track while being flexible with our last minute requests. The food was excellent as well.
Lion King also provided some pre and post safari activities that were fantastic. The coffee farm visit really exceeded all our expectations. We got to prepare, roast and grind our own coffee in the "traditional" ways. It was quite an experience and one we will never forget.
I would not hesitate to put my safari in their hands again.

Trip of a Lifetime
Just back from a 7 day tour with Lion King Adventures. Our experience exceeded our wildest dreams. The tour company was so organized and made sure we knew exactly what to expect. Their communication was great. Our accommodations were beautiful! Food was great! The people in Tanzania are so kind and helpful. I’ve traveled a lot but felt safer in Tanzania than most places I have been. The wildlife we saw was insane! We saw the Big Five and pretty much everything else. Our guide Ozzie was THE BEST! He found us so many unique wildlife encounters. He was so knowledgeable and fun! He really helped to make the trip everything you could ever hope for! Don’t be a chicken and skip the Air Safari! It’s worth every penny! Ballooning across the Serengeti is a once in a lifetime event! I have nothing but high praise for Lion King Adventures….and if we could have taken Ozzie home with us, we would have! What a great guide! Thanks for everything Ozzie and Lion King!

Everything is arranged.
First we went to Zanzibar. The taxi was already there when we landed and drove us to the hotel. We went to Arusha after one day on Zanzibar. We were exited to go on safari so the planning was perfect! The flight tickets were given to us on paper a day before we went on safari. We did a four day safari. Me and my partner had een private guide and safari jeep. The guide was very nice and knew a lot about Tanzania and the wilderness. Everywhere we came the transfers were arranged. The lodges during the safari were perfect. The lodges were luxury and very clean. The food was also very good at every lodge. The game drives were amazing. We had a very good time and saw a lot of animals. After the safari we had a few days to relax on Zanzibar. I would recommend paradise & wilderness to everyone. You don’t need to worry about a thing because everything is arranged.
