A mind-blowing experience
I had such an amazing time and a mind-blowing experience during my safari.
The staff were very friendly, punctual and reliable.
Looking forward to having a similar experience in the near future.
Thank you Selvaggio.

Amazing Memories In A Tanzanian Safari!
4D/3N Mid-Range Safari: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro (Late April 2024)
MAMBO VIPI! Five stars because I can't rate Gama, Gordon and Lion King Adventures with more stars! I never believed I would get "bored" of being at the right place and right time for animal sightings while staying at amazing accommodations across Tanzania. Lion King Adventures made sure that each detail was well thought through.
From the planning stage, Gordon made sure all my questions and requests for information were cleared up through email and a couple of calls. He remembered every comment I made and focused on those areas were I needed assistance. The amount of options and variables to consider are overwhelming and Gordon was able to structure an experience that made sense for my wishes and budget.
During the safari, Gama - our guide - showed thorough knowledge and experience in the safari world. Every day he brought a huge smile, great conversation and helped to build a once in a life time memory. I hope you get him as your future guide of choice. Most importantly, he makes the experience pleasant and manageable for every type of personality while making suggestions to enhance the safari. Listen to his tips because he knows how to make the magic happen. I hope you are able to sit down, lay back and have a poa poa experience like I lived! HAINA NOMA!
Lion King Adventures knows what they are doing. Reliable from start to finish. They have multiple teams/individuals that are focused on sales, planning, transfers, meals, certified guides, etc. I could see their level of expertise and capabilities in everything they did.
My accommodations were:
Escarpment Lodge (Eco Lodge)
Nyota Luxury Lodge (Tented Camp - FAV)
Ngorongoro Forest (Tented Camp)
P.S. Being flexible will go a very long way. Keep in mind you are going to an experience in nature. You don't need fancy camera's to get good pictures. Long rain season had great weather. Lots of sun, scattered showers and most important NOT A LOT OF CROWDS at a competitive price!

Amazing 6-day Safari with Meru Slopes - cannot recommend highly enough
My partner and I did a 6-day safari with Meru Slopes and it was an absolute delight. We were recommended the company by a friend who also had a fantastic 10-day experience with another guide. Our guide, Douglas, brought with him a wealth of experience, great humor and stories, answers to all questions and immense care for our safety, wellbeing and wishes throughout the trip. Meru Slopes as a company is very responsive and takes care of you from the first second. We were picked up from Kilimanjaro airport and had a night in their very cozy inn in central Arusha before the Safari started. The Safari itenary was perfect, and Meru Slopes’ guides know the parks extremely well, such that Douglas was able to get us to see all Big Five and more in the three parks we visited - Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro - even though we came during the low season (at the end of the rainy season in April). Meru Slopes is also highly flexible and adapts to the seasonal needs - we were scheduled for camping but ended up staying in very nice and centrally located lodges in camps for a few of the nights because of the rains. Throughout the safari, there is a cook who travels with you and cooks excellent food three times per day. Our cook, Rashidi, was an absolute star and provided varied and filling meals under any conditions. Meru Slopes’ vehicles have great amenities, power plugs in the front and back, a fridge, and even free WiFi in the car. The ability to join up with other people to form safari groups is another great component of what Meru Slopes offers - it allowed us to meet wonderful people for the trip and also makes the price extremely fair. I would go with Meru Slopes again anytime and cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Mountain Warriors is TOP NOTCH!
We were VERY impressed with the level of customer service Rosemary from Mountain Warriors provided us. She did an incredible job of answering all of our questions and made sure that we felt comfortable with the travel arrangements for our Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti Safari. Godfrey was an OUTSTANDING guide!!! He has done this work for 12+ years and was born near Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas. Very careful to make sure we were both safe and had a great time. Would recommend Mountain Warriors to anyone!!!

Friendly, knowledgeable and professional travel/tour company based in Windhoek, Namibia.
From the first contact that I made I knew that this was the tour company which would provide the trip me and my friend had been looking for.
We wanted a bespoke eight day, seven night private guided tour to Damaraland over to Etosha region then eventually winding our way back to Windhoek. The accommodation on route was excellent and surpassed our expectations.
Claire and Greg organised everything including an English speaking guide in Willem, who completed his task with relish. His driving and guiding skills were supurb as was his knowledge of all things geographical, wildlife and flora.
I can only speak very highly of Lark Journeys and sincerely hope to use them again in the future.

The best tourist guide we have ever had, kind, patient with deep knowledge of the subject
George Mbaula was our guide and also the owner of the tour operator. He has very deep knowledge of Serengeti. He doesn't need any tech toys to guess where we can find certain animals.
I have never seen so many wild animals in my life in one single forest. It is an experience which is difficult to describe in words.
Also, he took extreme care of our food requirements (vegetarian).
I would definitely contact George if I were to return to Serengeti.

Worth every penny!
We cannot find superlatives enough to describe our experiences and adventures on this amazing holiday organised by The Luxury Safari Company. From the moment go, the expertise and efficiency of Rose and her team was evident, co-ordinating flights and pick-ups to the minute in the most remote places in Tanzania and Kenya. With six internal flights, taking off and landing on dusty airstrips in the middle of nowhere, we expected some delays and hiccups. No such thing. We were able to relax completely, safe in the knowledge that we were being so well cared for. We settled in to enjoy the stunning locations and camps that had been chosen for us by Rose. With her knowledge of Africa, the wildlife and the people, together with a great understanding of our needs and wants, she put together an unforgettable journey and adventure that will stay with us forever.
Not the cheapest but definitely the best we’ve had and worth every penny!
