The most UNREAL experience of our lives for our honeymoon!
To start off, I did an insane amount of research on different safari companies and different tour operators in and around Tanzania before we decided to go with Lion King Adventures. From start to finish, the experience was amazing and more than we could ever ask for and experience.
Every email back and forth with Lion King when we were putting our safari together was always immediate and accommodated everything we requested with ease. We've never used a tour operator before and it was so nice not to have to worry about the little details that we typically do on vacation. Lion King Adventures handles every little thing and it didn't go unnoticed.
The accommodations we stayed at were Kahawa House in Arusha to start off, Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge in Tarangire, Nyota Luxury Lodge in the Serengeti, and the Neptune Luxury Lodge in the Ngorongoro Crater region. Each accommodation that were stayed in was top notch service with the most amazing views.
Our guide was Gilbert and I would recommend him to anyone going on safari with Lion King. His sharp eye for finding animals that we didn't even see at first was crazy along with the amount of knowledge he has. You can tell he has a lot of passion and love for what he does and it shows. Every single day was something different and we saw everything we wanted to see and more. He really made our honeymoon memorable.
Even with our little mishap we had in Zanzibar with our hotel transfer, Lion King answered immediately during the evening hours and went above and beyond to figure out the issue. They did more than I thought they needed to. When we go back, we'll definitely be using Lion King Adventures again!

Realy professional and reliable company and with very friendly and attentive people.
Full Package Adventures made the dream came true!! Everything was according to the plan, since the pick up from the airport to the very last minute!! I booked everything with Juventus and he was tireless to organize our safari according to iur needs since airport transfers, accomodations, safari car, game drives... everything very well managed.

In one word Max was amazing and made ou safari a true one life time experience!! We have to be grateful to Max, Juventus and Full Package Adventures and we absolutly recomend

Disappointing
My family and I booked travel to East Africa through Leopard Tours and the Krish Group. We traveled from June 25-July 9, 2024. We have had multiple issues during this trip. I have emailed Leopard Tours and the Krish Group several times, with no resolution of the issues, nor accountability.
Specifically, we signed off an itinerary created by Leopard Tours and the Krish Group that stated that we will be staying at Singita Faru Faru in a family suite--and per them, this was confirmed. Instead, once we arrived to Africa, I discovered that we were staying at Singita Sabora in two tented camps. They are both very unique properties, and we had signed off on Singita Faru Faru, not Singita Sabora. I reached out to Leopard Tours and the Krish Group immediately on finding this out and all they could tell me was that there was nothing he could do to rectify the situation as Faru Faru had no availability, and because we were booked a "similar" lodge, neither would do nothing further. This is extremely disappointing as they never took any accountability, nor did they apologize for the error. My husband and I had extended our travels dates (paid extra to change our tickets) and took off additional days from work to stay at Singita Faru Faru - which Leopard Tours and the Krish Group had told us that they had secured for us, however, as stated above, they had not. This felt like the classic "bait and switch."
Additionally, Leopard Tours and the Krish Group suggested we travel to Tarangire. Unfortunately, once we arrived to Tarangire, we came to learn that it was a bad time to travel to Tarangire National Park due to the heavy rainfall the area had over the past several months. Due to the heavy rain/tall brushes we could not see any animals. Even the owner of the lodge in Tarangire stated that the tour companies should have let us know that as he had notified all guests who had booked directly of this.
Lastly, we noticed that there was an option to use open vehicles for safari game rides. We were never given this option when booking the trip. It seems that Leopard Travel does not have any open vehicles. When we asked to change some of our game drives to open vehicles operated by the lodges, we were advised to do it ourselves and pay for the additional cost.
Leopard tours has essentially asked me to contact Krish Group for any issues and has taken no accountability in this matter. The Krish Group has done the same.
Very disappointing trip, service and company. I would strongly advise to AVOID LEOPARD TOURS and THE KRISH GROUP.

Amazing, always helpful and available to help us
It was a spectacular adventure, better than I expected. Our guide (Max) was amazing, always ready to try to provide us with the best safari ever and he managed to see the magnificent 5, and the whole route was spectacular.

Professionalism at its best- Highly recommend Hermosa company
We have booked Hermosa for our trip with our friends in June and our guide Damascene was very friendly expert in sporting animals in Akagera Park, we Lions, elephants, Leopards, Hippos and many more ! Doing a morning boat cruise when you are in Akagera is highly recommended. We plan to go for other parts of Rwanda including Gorillas in Virunga , we miss Rwanda and we will ask Damascene as our Guide. Cheers

Nomad was extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable.
Purple Nomad Africa helped organize our family vacation to Kenya. They organized two safaris (Masai Mara and Ol Lentille) and a trip to Lamu. All arrangements were perfect. The accommodations were top-notch, food excellent and all staff great. Lizzie and her team worked within our budget to plan a perfect holiday. They were patient with us as we considered the various hotel/lodge options. The service was also excellent - Maxwell and Peter were very dependable and drove us around town safely and on-time.
