Thoroughly enjoyable!
We loved our two day safari experience with Ben as our guide. Starting with the hotel pickup, Ben shared interesting tidbits and insights throughout the trip as well as educating us about the animals we were seeing. He was patient, stopping whenever we saw (or thought we saw) wildlife. The van was clean, there was plenty of water, and we felt completely safe. We stayed at Voi Lodge which we found charming and rustic (no TV) though completely modern. The meals were served buffet style and offered many delicious options. We enjoyed our food while observing wildlife gathering at the watering holes below the covered open air dining room. The whole experience was delightful.

Fast to respond, great guide. Some miscommunications which were resoled.
Booking through Lulu Safaris was quick and easy. They were available on whatsapp which really helped in fine tuning the details. They amended a 3 day tour to become a 2 day tour to fit what we wanted to do and amended the price appropriately. Our guide picked us up from Entebbe airport and was friendly and spoke good English. He was a very good and safe driver, even on very challenging wet muddy steep roads. We did get lost on the first day trying to find our hotel as it was one our guide had not been to before, but this was managed appropriately. Nice accommodation included.
We were taken to gorilla trekking which was a fantastic experience and our guide collected us after this and took us to Lake Bunyonyi. Our guide contacted the accommodation my friend and I had booked and organised a boat for us to pick us up from the drop-off point which was really helpful.
Our itinerary had included all 3 meals on our final day but Lulu Safaris stated this was an error and dinner was not meant to be included. They did eventually resolve this and paid the hotel we were going to an amount to cover the majority of our dinner which felt like a reasonable resolution to an error on their part.

An amazing experience
We had an amazing experience. Everything was beautifully organized, from the airport transfer to our hotel stays before and after the Safari. The Safari was excellent and Samy, our guide, was able to share everything he knew about African wildlife and the Massai. It will remain an unforgettable memory. I highly recommend this supplier to everyone!
Many thanks again Samy

Wonderful safari un Selous (Nyerere National Park)
We arrived in Zanzibar with the intention of going on a safari but we had not booked. We came across Snorkeling Zanzibar Tours through Abdalla. He took us for 3 days and 2 nights to Selous (Nyerere National Park) with a reasonable price. We were amazed and saw all the animals possible! He can include a French guide if you wish. We then just booked a dolphin and snorkeling trip to Nungwi with him. He can offer you a lot of activities on Zanzibar, don’t hesitate!

Great experiance in gamedrive
We started in Arusha in Tansania and booked the 5 day Safari view mounth earlier from germany.
The communication was very good. All questions were answered.
Our ranger Izag and our cook Cherlas meets us in the hotel. Althought the manager named Amos. He explained us whats going on the next days.
We have different game drives and we could decide sometimes what we want to do. The food was allways very delicious. Our first day was at Manyara Lake in a Lodge.
Than we were camping 2 nights in Serengeti Nationalpark in the Pimbi campside. It was realy exiting and organisation was good.
Our tent was good for the windy weather in Ngorongoro Krater were we slept the last night.
Our ranger explained all animals and all about the country and the nature. It was realy interessting and a big adventur for us.

Excellent operator that organised the best he could for us. Middle range tour.
Communications were always fast and on point. The service was excellent, especially Innocent, the driver, that did an amazing job to get us beautiful safari pictures and moments. The lodge was not what we booked and communication of change arrived when we already paid the advance payment, we stayed in two different camps, maybe due to the late booking. The money value of the tour was there thanks to the driver skills. The tour was full of drives and wild interesting encounters.

Affordable and amazing
I did the six day tour, Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli. It was an amazing experience, beautiful parks, and I saw the big 5. Thanks to our great tour guide Peter an Moses. Accommodations were basis, at least in Maasai Mara, but along the trip they got better. But for that price, it was very good.
I recommend to change a little bit in the program, because the one night in Nakuru, makes it a long day from Nakuru to Amboseli. You spend almost 12 hours in the jeep.
But thanks Peter and Moses for the great experience, the amazing driving and your great eyesight. You guys see everything. Communicating with other tour guides in the park makes that you most likely see all of the big five.

Very good Pilanesberg day tour
Booked a day tour from Johannesburg to Pilanesberg couple of days before over Tripadvisor, received the confirmation of the time of pickup over Whatsapp the evening before the tour.
Pickup was on time, and it took another hour to pick up all the other people around the city as I was the first on the way. So for me it was about 4 hours drive to Pilanesberg instead of the 2.5 hours indicated on the Itinerary, just keep that in mind.
Trip to Pilanesberg was simple, one stop halfway there.
Game drives at 09:30 and 13:30 were quite nice, we didn't see that many animals but it was just too hot so no surprises there. We did get to see a leopard chasing a rabbit so that is a very rare sighting right there. Overall I was happy with the drives, although the ones at 06:00 offer much more, naturally.
Launch at the park was OK, beef or chicken burger and a drink, nothing fancy, but not bad.
And then the drive back with one short stop just outside Pilanesberg. I was picked up at 5:30, dropped off at 19:00 at Eastgate.
It was a nice experience, the only complaint I have it that in the morning after picking me up, the driver was driving quite fast and at one point hit a pothole which had me flying for a couple of seconds. Did not like the landing...
If you don't have the option of driving or wanting to stay the night before somewhere near Pilanesberg, this tour is definitely a very good option.
