We just finished a 6-day safari with Lion King Adventures – and honestly, we’re still processing what we experienced.
From the very first moment, everything was perfectly organized, smooth, and professional. But what truly made this trip exceptional was our guide, Haruni.
Haruni is not just a guide – he is the reason this safari became something unforgettable.
His ability to spot animals is simply incredible. We saw an unbelievable variety of wildlife, often in situations that felt almost unreal – from a leopard resting in a tree to large herds of elephants, giraffes passing right next to the car, and even multiple big cats in a single day. It never felt rushed or forced. He always seemed to know where to go, when to wait, and how to position us perfectly without disturbing the animals.
But beyond his skills, what really stood out was him as a person.
Haruni is warm, calm, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. We had so many relaxed and fun conversations during the drives, and even in the evenings – whether sitting together for dinner or around the campfire. He speaks very good German, which made everything even easier and more personal for us.
There was never any pressure, never any stress – just a feeling of being in very good hands.
The entire experience felt natural, unforced, and somehow very “real”. Not like a typical tourist trip, but more like being guided through something special by someone who truly loves what he does.
Lion King Adventures delivered a fantastic safari overall – great planning, beautiful lodges, and a seamless experience from start to finish.
But Haruni made it extraordinary.
If you’re booking with Lion King, ask for him – you’ll understand why.
We would do this again in a heartbeat.

Good price for value - I do recommend the company
Dennsland Trekktours will offer you, for a price below competitors (average 200$ cheaper than other providers for the exact same service).
Purity is very reactive on Whatsapp for whatever question you might have. Her and her team can also make a few adjustments to the trip after taking the courtesy to engage in a conversation.
Our guide, Philip, was very kind and seemed very knowledgeable regarding the wildlife in the area.
On the 7 days trip, you will see a ton of animals, I am not sure if there is anything we did not see.
Regarding the safari in itself, please note that the experience I will describe below applies to many safaris in Kenya and not only to Dennsland Trekktours :
- A 7 days Safari only consists in maybe 4 (combined) active days of exploration. The rest is spend driving from a place to another
- The driving can be very long. We once drove for 9 hours in a single day
- On a group tour, you might need to accommodate other passengers having booked a different kind of tour, so your guide will have to drop them further on the road, making you lose 1-2 hours per day
- Carry cash, you might need a solid 60-70$ per person for the 7 days trip if you want to engage in all the other extra activities
- Also carry very small bills (equivalent of 1-2 dollars) if you wish to tip or support people on the way (local guides in Hell's gate for instance). People will beg/ask a lot for money on the way.

Great safari adventure
The Kilipath agency met my expectations regarding communication and overall trip organization. Happy is very communicative; she was helpful at every step and truly cared about the client's comfort and safety. Any questions or concerns can be addressed via WhatsApp, and the response comes very quickly.
As for the safari itself, March—despite being the rainy season—is a wonderful month to visit the national parks. We visited four parks in five days, and it was an amazing adventure. The car was comfortable and well-suited for difficult road and weather conditions. Cold drinks were provided. Our driver was great. Regarding the itinerary, I feel a bit of a letdown; there weren't as many game drives as I expected, and we usually spent our afternoons at the accommodation. We only spent 3 hours in Ngorongoro. The accommodations were simple, as expected for a budget option. The food was basic and practically the same every day.
I recommend it to anyone looking for a more affordable safari option shared with other travelers.

Flying Leopard
Beautiful safari in Lake Mburo and Queen Elizabeth National Park. The guide knew the right places to spot animals and took his time. The journey from Entebbe to the parks was long.
What could be improved. Daily explanation of the day’s program. Where can the client still influence it. Providing tips to make the trip and safari better. During the journey, tailor to the client’s wishes.

A team of serious, reliable and honest young professionals
We went on a safari to Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. It was a fantastic experience. We saw so many animals up close! We were accompanied by Kuvet, a kind and polite man. He made our experience unforgettable! We stayed in a spectacular African-style lodge. Even though we had a few mishaps, the guys were always there for us and took immediate action to resolve everything, accompanying us until the end of our adventure! They were always available for anything and in touch with us. Excellent value for money. Recommended!

Personalize adventure with Saga Expedition
My experience with Saga Expedition was truly good. What stood out the most was their flexibility and willingness to tailor the itinerary to make our trip even more meaningful. A special thank you to Ernest for adjusting the original plan, what was supposed to be a bush walk turned into an incredible visit to a Maasai village, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our journey.
One day was dedicated to a full safari experience, where we got to enjoy the beauty of wildlife up close, and another day was a shorter, more intimate (about two hours) in the Maasai village. That time felt authentic, personal, and culturally enriching.
Also, as a solo traveler, it can be challenging to find a safari at a reasonable price, but Saga Expedition offered a great value without compromising the experience.
The entire experience felt well-organized yet flexible, allowing me to truly enjoy each moment without feeling rushed. If you’re looking for a company that listens, adapts, and creates memorable, meaningful experiences, I highly recommend Saga Expedition.
Phenominal(Anthentic wild safari Experience)
I felt safe throughout my safari experience under the management of Lion Tracks Safaris,quite an amazing and growing company making wonders.I was able to experience the wildlife in the bush up very close.I paid slightly more for comfort but there are also more alternative options which makes it more affordable, fun and more injoyable.

Great safari experience, but disappointing accommodation
We had a very good safari experience overall, especially thanks to our guide John, who was truly excellent. He was knowledgeable, professional, and made sure we saw an incredible amount of wildlife. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the safari, and this part of the trip definitely lived up to our expectations.
Unfortunately, our experience with the company regarding the accommodation was very disappointing. We stayed at Jambo Mara Safari Lodge, and it did not meet the expectations that had been set beforehand. Prior to our trip, we were sent a link showing a nice hotel room, which we understood to be the room we had booked and paid for. However, upon arrival, we were given a very poor and unclean room that did not resemble what had been presented to us.
The room was damp, with water running down the walls, and there was no air conditioning, which made the stay very uncomfortable. In addition, the food at the hotel was extremely poor, which only added to the overall negative experience.
We felt that we could not sleep in the room we were initially given, and therefore we had no choice but to pay extra to upgrade to another room — essentially the standard we had originally been promised and believed we had already paid for. We do not find this acceptable and feel it reflects poorly on the company’s communication and transparency.
In summary, while the safari itself and our guide were excellent, the handling of the accommodation was very disappointing and not up to standard.

Well organized with only slight hiccups.
The safari was in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks. Wildlife was incredible. More than on any other of my eight safaris Accommodation was good, especially in the bush.
