Unforgettable trip, highly recommended!
We went on a budget (camping) 7-day safari tour to Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Eyasi.
It was a really unforgettable trip, with a great mixture of incredible landscapes, awe-inspiring animal sightings, and even a touch of culture shock with the Hadzebe bushmen around Lake Eyasi.
Mr Jalala is a trustworthy and meticulous organiser, he was very responsive and available to help, even to arrange extra transport and logistics that did not bring any money to him personally. He negotiated with us a very reasonable price and assigned us a nice team of driver (Peter) and cook (Mike). Both were fun, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to make our trip really enjoyable.
The accommodation was in basic but clean camps with helpful staff. The highlight was the camp at Lake Natron, I'll never forget the incredible view over the lake and the expanse plain at sunrise.
Highly recommended!

A unique and memorable experience
A unique and memorable experience. A fantastic guide. We saw the big five less than 3 meters away (except for the rhino that was farther away). It was fantastic
We really enjoyed the gampling, quality facilities, very clean, friendly staff. The jeep was good, but it was not comfortable, the routes do not help, the paths have many holes. We really liked our guide, Goog Living, made this experience 5 stars

Amazing Safari
We went on the 3 night 4 day Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. From start to finish it was an amazing experience - we were picked up at the airport in Arusha and went straight onto the safari. Our driver Florian was great - very knowledgeable and a good chat. We saw plenty of animals, including leopards, rhinos, lions so close you could touch them and many, many elephants. The chef prepared delicious food everyday, and overnight stays in tents in the Serengeti and on the edge of the Ngorongoro crater were a highlight - wild hyenas and water buffalo were roaming between the tents in the night!
Highly recommended.

Life lasting experience
Before our trip, I contacted three companies that provide safari services to their customers. The answers and advice that I received from Lion King were the most helpful. It was a deciding factor in ordering a safari from Lion King Adventures.
The safari itself was incredible. There were so many species in the park and it was so exciting to observe animals and birds in their natural habitat! At the end of the third day, we thought we had seen almost everything, but it surprised us during the following days how much more we saw. Without a doubt, it was thanks to our guide Richard, with his ability to detect animals and birds, his positive attitude and willingness to help and his knowledge of the wildlife.

Richard instantly gave us the name of each animal and bird in the park, providing clues on how to distinguish them from some other closely related species, and telling us interesting facts about them.An African safari is a life lasting experience. That is why we are glad to make the right choice about the company we had safari with. We are very grateful for Richard, Pendo, Rose and other company employees to do their best, so our dream could come true.

Amazing, exceeded all expectations
What an amazing time. The camp exceeded all expectations, the staff helpful and the facilities excellent (amazing chalets, showers and WiFi) but most importantly the wildlife danced for me. The road to the lodge was terrible, but the camp more than made up for it

Honeymoon in the Northern Circuit
Given the time of the year, we had very green sceneries, and were able to experience the Great Migration first-hand in the southern Serengeti area, around Ndutu. We were lucky with the rain as well, as the road was mostly in good conditions and there were no areas without access.
In terms of wildlife, every location had something else and special to offer and we never stopped being amazed by it. Tarangire with the elephants and the Baobab trees, Ndutu with the migration, Serengeti with everything (tons of

lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes...) and Ngorongoro with the rhinos. We highly recommend such an itinerary as it shows you different landscapes and is efficient in terms of transportation.As for the tour operator, eTrip, everything was super well organized, we had no issues with the accommodations, our guide Victor was very nice and had an amazing eye to find animals very well hidden, they provided water every day, the binoculars were very useful... Also they showed to be very transparent with the rates, and very flexible to change the itinerary to our preferences, as well as going further ahead by recommending better accommodations for better rates they were able to get.
We're looking forward to plan our next safari.

Magical!
We booked our own flights to and from Tanzania but all our transfers to and from hotels and airports and the flight from Zanzibar to the mainland were arranged perfectly and ran smoothly, all our drivers turned up at the right time, knew where we were going and got us there safely (and were very friendly).
We arrived in Zanzibar

and had a few days there at the Coconut Tree Resort, we had one day of terrific trips booked in advance and were given the information to book more once we decided exactly what we wanted to do. The spice tour, prison island tour and stone town tours arranged for us by Hello Tanzania were a real must! And the Cheetah’s Rock and Blue Safari Tours we did were also excellent. Of course a day at the hotel lounging by the pool and catching the sun was also extremely welcome.We flew to the mainland for Safari and had the most amazing experience seeing so so many animals, from thousands of zebras to lions in trees and elephants crossing the road! We went to a different place each day in the hopes of seeing as many animals as possible, it was epic! Again everything organised by Sylwia ran smoothly, all the glamping, the hotels, safaris and transfers! For our last night we were driven to a cultural experience to meet Masai people and then past Kilimanjaro to stay in a rather swanky place with a great pool, wonderful food and the most relaxing massages.
Sylwia also made herself readily available by email (even on New Years Eve and New Years Day) so we could ask her questions or for confirmation and her replies were always prompt. I am gluten free and dairy free which is a worry when travelling but everywhere we went had been informed in advance and there was always plenty on offer for me to eat.
I could not recommend Hello Tanzania highly enough and if I were to go back I would certainly be booking with them again!

Fabulous
Ngorongoro crater is really the most amazing landscape we have ever seen. Tents and lodges were comfortable and well organized. Wildlife is everywhere and great. Fortunately very limited rain that slowed down the trip during first days. Migration in Serengeti is a moving scenery.
