Above expectations
Our tour guide Erick went above and beyond meeting our expectations. Not only was he attentive and informative when he needed to be but also was respectful of our own time. They picked us up from our accommodation in Dar and took us wherever we needed to go. The hotel we stayed at mikumi was also pretty good and great value for money.

Great experience
We had a very good time during the four days of safari, saw the big five and alot of other animals.
Our driver was very kind and nice. He took good care of us and was very helpful and friendly. But also a bit introverted. It would be nice, if he would have explained us a bit more proactively about the animals and the nature. We had to ask him actively to get informations and when we did he had a big knowledge about the topics and could always answer all our questions and provide us the informations.
Overall it was a great safari that we would definitely recommend!

The most thrilling holiday of our lives!
I was in touch with Ushma Pattni for booking the safari. Not only did she patiently answer all my queries pre-safari, she also helped with local flight delays and checked-in every couple of days to see how everything was going - such a thoughtful gesture.
Our guide was Benji - Such a fantastic guide, tracker and driver. He was also very knowledgeable, accommodating and funny. He gelled so well with all four of us. The safari would not have been as much fun with anyone else.
The 6-day itinerary and accommodations as suggested by Ushma were excellent - Ngorongoro Marera Mountain view, Serengeti Sametu and Lion's Paw. The staff was the best.
A special mention for Serengeti Sametu where we celebrated Diwali. The Indian chef prepared a veritable feast for us, accompanied by a local celebratory dance where all staff members joined in. We were very touched! Also, the bush dinner experience is one we will never forget.
The safari jeep was in fantastic condition. The fresh hot food served in steel cutlery versus the box lunches we saw provided by quite a few operators was much appreciated and also very delicious.
Safari highlights - the endless wildebeest and zebra herds on the endless plains, a cheetah with her cubs, a lion and lioness in their mating phase, a lioness chasing away a hyena and two lionesses chasing after and killing a wildebeest. Not to forget herds of elephants coming to drink water, giraffes grazing, a tree hugging leopard, and spotting (what looked like) a black rhino from afar. Also, there was a lioness roaming outside our tents each night at Sametu camp. So scary and thrilling!

Perfect!!!
We really enjoyed our safari in Kenya with Benson (our guide-driver(, we highly recommend him. Benson was a very kind, polite person who was attentive to us and our needs at all times. Thanks to his knowledge and skills we were able to see a great variety of animals. We are eternally grateful to Benson.

The best experience of our lives
We have just finished a 5 day safari tour with crater explorer and it was AMAZING. Truly the best experience of my life. Charles (tour guide) & Emmanuel (chef) were brilliant, they really looked after us. We saw everything we wanted to see and we are already planning our next trip with them. Highly recommend

Reliable, professional, very responsive and make everything to have unforgettable safari experience
I was very skeptical to book a safari from the internet in Kenya with full prepayment before the safari, but from the momemnt I have spoken with Lucy from Savvanah Woods I was so confident that everything will be fine. She promptly answered all the questions and provided so many options. Our driver Henri made our trip to Safari unforgettable. He knew exactly every spot and always tried to take the best spots for us to see the animals as close as we could. He knows a lot about animal, with the sense of humor and a very nice person who loves what he is doing. We had to visit one place close to safari which was not planned before and he gladly took us there. Thank you Savannah Woods for making our trip so special!!!

King Mufasa Expeditions is very reliable, good organized and well experienced!
We booked the safari very spontaneously. Communication with the organizer worked very well throughout, responses were always quick and friendly and the team was always helpful. We were able to adapt the safari to our wishes and, for example, book hotel/camp alternatives. When we arrived in the Serengeti, the vehicle was already prepared for us and our guide Calvin welcomed us. Calvin is a very pleasant, friendly and funny guide. We had a very nice time together! He was always attentive to give us interesting information about animals, landscape and culture. Above all, he was very motivated to show us all the animals that the Serengeti has to offer! We had an unforgettable time thanks to Calvin - thanks to him we saw the big 5! Throughout the whole trip the King Mufasa Team stayed in contact with us. We felt very secure and in good hands!
Thanks to the entire team for all their efforts!

We were lucky to have a guide named Jonis. He was incredible.
An Unforgettable Adventure with an Exceptional Guide
Our recent safari was nothing short of spectacular! From the breathtaking landscapes to the incredible wildlife sightings, every moment felt like a scene straight out of a nature documentary. What made the experience even more memorable was our guide, Jonis . His deep knowledge, passion, and attentiveness truly set this adventure apart.
Jonis had an uncanny ability to spot animals from a distance, and he enriched every sighting with fascinating details about the animals’ behaviors, habitats, and conservation efforts. Whether it was a pride of lions lounging under a tree, elephants roaming the savanna, or a rare sighting of a leopard, he made sure we were in the best possible spot for viewing and photographing.
Safety and comfort were always top priorities, and Jonis handled every detail seamlessly—from navigating tricky terrain to preparing the perfect spot for lunch in the bush. He was also incredibly patient, answering all of our questions and making sure everyone was engaged and enjoying the journey.
If you’re planning a safari, I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. It’s more than just a trip; it’s an education and an adventure. And if you’re lucky enough to have Jonis as your guide, prepare for an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime!
