Incredible
Had an unbelievable time in Namibia, thanks to Petra Joell and Buzzy Joell! Petra organized a seamless experience with a perfect itinerary for me and my mom, and we are so appreciative! Buzzy, our incredible guide, made the experience one to remember - so knowledgeable, friendly and fun! Namibia is truly an incredible place and we can't wait to bring the rest of our family with us next time.
Cannot say enough about NTN and the experience we had, thank you, thank you!

Perfectly arranged – Highly Recommended!
We had an incredible time exploring Kenya and Tanzania. Every moment of our safari was beyond expectations, and seeing the wildlife we had dreamed of in real life was an indescribably breathtaking experience. From the stunning landscapes to the carefully planned itinerary, everything was thoughtfully arranged by Kelvin, making our journey smooth and memorable. The accommodations, meals and overall organization were excellent.
A special mention goes to our amazing safari guide, Samwel, who truly made this trip exceptional. His passion, experience, and incredible knowledge of wildlife were outstanding. With his sharp eyes, excellent binocular skills and deep understanding of animal behavior, he was able to spot wildlife that many others missed. We were especially lucky to witness a beautiful leopard along the riverbank on our second day in the Maasai Mara near Mara Rianta a moment we will never forget.
Samwel’s knowledge across the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater was impressive. He knew the best locations to find animals and shared fascinating insights throughout our journey. He was patient, thoughtful, professional and always ensured we had the best possible experience.
We would also like to thank Babu, our guide in Tanzania, who took excellent care of us. He drove safely and comfortably, even on some of Tanzania’s challenging roads, and always reminded us of important travel tips. He was friendly, patient and answered every question we had with great enthusiasm and knowledge. From the first day in Kenya to our final day in Arusha, the entire safari was absolutely amazing. The breathtaking scenery, incredible wildlife encounters, and exceptional guides made this a journey of a lifetime. This safari was truly perfect, and we would happily return again. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an unforgettable African adventure! Thank you, Kelvin, Samwel, Babu, and the entire team at Silver Spark Africa for making our dream safari a reality.

Top quality
We had a great time on safari with this company.
Our guide Sam was experiences and just excellent. All big 5 found and experienced close by. Lunch with the lions and stop in the middle of a pack of elephants was truly special.
Would reccomend to go to Serengeti. The tranquility in this National Park is really special. The Friends lodge where you sleep in the park is a highlight.
Nuhu made sure everything from transport to airport and back again went smoothly with no issues.

Thank you Ringo
I just returned from my dream safari in Tanzania, which was a huge success thanks to our amazing guide, Ringo.
During the booking process,
Nkollo Tours went above and beyond to ease my anxiety, which really helped build my trust in them. As a South Korean traveler, I initially considered booking through a Korean travel agency. However, after reading several blog posts by Korean travelers highlighting various issues with third-party agencies, I decided to contact a local operator directly.
My biggest concern during this process was whether I could fully trust a local company and feel secure about making an upfront deposit. Moreover, since accommodation makes up the largest portion of the safari budget, I absolutely could not tolerate any last-minute lodging changes on-site. Nkollo Tours put in exceptional effort to reassure me and ensure everything went exactly as planned. Thank you so much for accommodating my detailed requests and providing such a reliable service.
Having an excellent guide is crucial for a successful safari, and Ringo was incredibly skilled. We desperately wanted to witness the Great Migration—specifically the wildebeest crossing the Mara River—and hoped to catch the action from a prime viewing spot. Ringo executed this perfectly. He brought us to the best vantage point at just the right moment. Watching how smoothly he managed the entire experience convinced us of his deep expertise and professionalism.
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and although the leopard was quite far away, it was still an incredibly enjoyable journey. We got to see so many animals up close, the accommodations were in excellent condition, and we felt incredibly welcomed throughout the trip.
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Nkollo Tours for their trustworthiness and seamless communication, and a special thank you to our guide, Ringo!

Above and beyond our expectations
We had the most AMAZING safari organised by Bildad at Super Eagles. From the first contact he had every detail of our trip seamlessly organised. He offered suggestions of route options to maximise our experience but stayed within the budget range we were working with. Nothing was too much trouble and he went above and beyond to make it such a memorable experience for our family. He paired us up with the most brilliant guide, Newton, who safely led our family through an incredible safari experience we will never forget. Newton was very kind, patient and knowledgeable about all the animals, the geography, the culture and anything else we threw at him and formed such a beautiful bond with the kids. It was a true once-in-a-lifetime trip for us and we are SO glad we made the decision to book with Super Eagles as it was above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Bildad, Newton and the team at Super Eagles for making our Kenya safari so incredible.

Trustworthy, welcoming and exceptionally organised from booking to farewell.
After researching and comparing several safari companies, I chose Safari Line Defender Tours, and it was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I made.
As a solo female volunteer, choosing a safari company wasn’t something I took lightly. From my very first message, Rose stood out. She was professional, incredibly responsive, patient with every question I had, and even offered to speak over the phone something no other company had done. That simple gesture gave me confidence, and from then on, the whole booking process felt effortless. She provided a detailed itinerary, answered every follow-up question, and offered excellent value for money.
Meeting Rose in person was just as reassuring. She and her team welcomed me warmly, made sure I had bottled water for the journey, introduced me to our driver, Shem, and trainee guide, Mike, and ensured I felt safe and well looked after before we even left Nairobi.
The safari itself exceeded every expectation. The vehicle was modern, spotless and comfortable, Shem was an outstanding driver, and we were fortunate enough to see lions, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest and, incredibly, two leopards. Visiting the Maasai village was another unforgettable highlight and made the experience even more meaningful.
If you’re looking for a safari company that combines professionalism, honest communication, genuine hospitality and great value, I couldn’t recommend Safari Line Defender Tours more highly. Thank you to Rose and the entire team for an unforgettable Maasai Mara experience.

Well organised with great attention to detail and personal preferences.
We felt the trip to was very good value for money. From the very beginning shared information and communication was all we needed. The flights worked perfectly with very little time waiting around airports and there was always a representative on arrivals to guide us. The safari was so well organised and we couldn’t have asked more from our guide for the duration. Accommodation at every stage was perfect. From Tanzania we went to Zanzibar and enjoyed a restful time there. Again the whole experience was faultless. Overall a superb holiday. Thank you.

This Safari Soles trip was phenomenal. A family of 4, we enjoyed all the Serengeti had to offer and thought the service provided was exceptional, from start to finish.
Our guide Japhet (Jeff) Kiwelu went above and beyond to ensure our family was taken care of in the highest manner possible.
Truly a trip of a lifetime!

Competent and trustful operator for a dreamcast safari
We contacted Lion King Adventure for a quote to have a 7-day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas. We worked alongside Elia and Florida to prepare our trip. We selected Lion King upon recommandation and have not regretted it: they were in the same price range as the other we had contacted, but proposed accommodation that seems to be a bit higher in standard. Communication with Elia and Florida was usually flawless with the team through WhatsApp, which is convenient.
We had a last-minute problem with a person of our team having her flight delayed by 24h so Lion King had to re-arrange a chauffeur and a hotel night for her, which was done properly.
The accommodation were really nice, all lodges and hotels were really comfortable. Lion King has its own brand of lodges "Nyota" and even if we could not attend the Nyota Serengeti for renovation reasons, we got moved to another high-quality accommodation, with outstanding views. We were among the first guests of Nyota Rift valley, which is absolutely stunning with, here again, extremely warm and welcoming staff.
Speaking of people, our guide Djabiri was absolutely amazing too, he highly contributed in the success of our safari: he gave us advice regarding the timetable, gave us some time when we needed, was really knowledgable regarding wildlife and local customs. We got lucky enough to see the Big Five thanks to him, as well as a few other hard-to-spot animals. We just regretted not to be able to see the Great Migration, but we were a bit too late for that and the gnous were a bit too far away in Northern Serengeti for the round-trip to be worth it! We'll have to come back and will definitely contact Lion King Adventures to do so!

Great tour for solo travelers to feel included
The tour was great, Peta the guide was very helpful explaining everything. We managed to see 4 of the big 5 so mother nature was on our side. And even though I was by myself I felt very included in the group.
