Excellent service, fast response, outstanding guide, totally recommended
From the moment I asked for a quote for a safari in Tanzania, the team of Lion King were very kind and responsive, explaining everything with details. They helped me before and during our trip, always with the best disposition. Once in the safari everything went perfect. Our guide Saleh was very kind, always asking if we needed anything, explaining us everything we asked, he really knows a lot regarding history in Tanzania, animals and has an incredible sight. We always managed to take us to the best spots to watch animals.
The hotels and lodges booked by the company are among the best and are totally worth it. I really recommend booking your safari experience in Tanzania with Lion King, you will no regret it.

That was amazing!
This was our first experience on safari. Everything was great. We met at the airport, placed in the hotel. In the evening came, Hillari, we paid main amount for safari. He asked our preferences in food, when my wife learned that cook can cook separately for her food without gluten, she was very happy! Was one confusion with paying, in the contract not mentioned on the amount of a tip for guide, they were fixed, 10$ with person per day. I think you need it to write in the contract! In our country tips are not mandatory and fixed. But guide the Mandela and cook Salim, great fulfilled his work and very tried, so we were pleased to pay a tip! We really liked it, we will recommend to our friends! The price is very good.

The Amazing Trip
An amazing trip to remember. We did the Kilimanjaro Rongai route 7 days and summited Dec 12.
All the organizational parts were very great. Quick and good response from Amos whenever we had questions or worries. Extremely great team on the mountain - everybody from the chef, to guides and porters were very friendly. The food was fantastic.
We were a group of 10 and we all made it to the top. When someone needed an extra pause or had to walk in a slower pace the guides didn't push unnecessarily - but just enough to go an extra mile and then some. There was good spirit and patience. I felt that we were in very good hands and it was a true pleasure also to get to know the guides.
It was an amazing, spectacular and a deep-felt beautiful experience.
Yes, at times a trip like this can have challenges but there is no company we would have rather been with than Migration Venture Africa.
Thank you, guys!

Really committed to your experience
I just got back from a 5 day safari to Selous Game Reserve and I can't speak highly enough about that park. Simply stunning. I'm absolutely gobsmacked. Go go go. As for the service it was top notch all the way starting with the quoting process. I wanted something customized for 5 days and only in Selous in order to maximize my time in the park. Selous is only a 5/6 hour drive from Dar es Salaam however it does mean a days travel there and a day back. I wanted more than the 3 and 4 days tours being offered so I began asking for quotes on 5 days. Sylwie went out of her way to put something together for me that not only took into consideration the time but also the cost as I am a budget traveller and, let's face it, safaris are expensive. I ended up staying in two lodges with a village walk, two bush drives, a river trip and a walking safari. Everything was top notch. Very professional and very courteous every step of the way. And Sylwia checking in on me regularly to see if all was going good. Very classy. As for accomodation.......Jimbizi camp was my favourite as it really does have the best views of the river, not to mention a wonderful staff who go the distance to make you feel at home. Go. Relax. And rest assured you will be well looked after in this most wonderful and awe inspiring of places.

Great company!
As a solo traveler I struggled to find a safari group to join. How lucky I was when I found Tanzania Safari Supremacy! Elvice was quick to answer all my questions and easy to communicate with. Though I did not end up on their safari group Elvice managed to find a group for me to join.
Everything went exactly as planned. I was so relieved when I got off the bus in Arush, after traveling 40 hours to get there, I was greeted by one of their drivers, given the run down on the Safari and taken to my hotel.
This really is a great company to book with! Very professional and honest. Thank you for the amazing experience!

maginificent
Magnificent times in Tanzania
This is one of the best and managed tour companies I have used for safari tours, it was just awesome work by Manu. He was patient and so prompt as to finalize our personalized tour we had almost 100 emails between us. Our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Joseph, made the trip amazing. He has over 10 years’ experience and executed our plans really well! In addition he was accommodating and made stops and when we requested, though he was the first to spot interesting views. He is a great guide and knows all the best viewing spots in all the parks. We saw lions, elephants, hippos, buffalos, hyenas, dikdik, kudu, giraffes, cheetahs and many more. Joseph has an excellent sense of humour and a great teacher as well as we learnt quite a lot of Swahili during the trip.
I found everything straight forward from; planning, processing, payment arrangements, itinerary, pre safari information, maps. All in all the tour went on very smoothly.

GoExplore put together a fantastic 5 day trip to Uganda in a very short period of time!
I was working with a tour operator out of Kenya to plan a Uganda gorilla trek followed by a Kenya & Tanzania safari. For some reason, the Uganda portion started having issues with only a few weeks to go. Enter Brian Ahereza of GoExplore. Wow! Talk about fast acting and excellent service. Within 1 day, Brian arranged everything. The only thing that would have made my trip better is if I had added one extra day, but by this point, we couldn't squeeze it in, so Brian did the absolute best with what he had to work with.
For starters, one of the best things that could have happened did! ANd that was to have Charles assigned as our driver/guide. We flew into Kigali, Rwanda and Charles met us at the airport and took us to our hotel. The next morning we got up for the long drive to the Nkoringo area of Bwindi. A lot of this drive is on some VERY difficult dirt roads and Charles was masterful at navigating the terrain. Furthermore, I was using offline Google Maps to track our location and there is no possible way I could have gotten to where Charles was going.
We got to Nkoringo Lodge and immediately loved it. Brian had arranged for us to have one of only 2 rooms there that had on demand hot water. Our room overlooked Bwindi and we sat on the deck admiring the view. To get to the bar/dining area, we hiked up and over a ridge and the view from that side was south to the 3 volcanoes on the border of Uganda/Rwanda/Congo - absolutely beautiful!
The next day we did the trek to the Nkuringo gorilla group. It was not a difficult trek until we had to cross a fast flowing stream because the gorillas had gone to that side and as soon as we crossed, they came back! So we did too. And then we found them and it was such a wonderful experience! My wife was standing next to me and a young male (7-8 years old??) suddenly turned and started walking towards us. My wife moved to the left, but our guide said to stand still. The gorilla walked right between us and as he passed, he stuck out his arm between my legs and grasped me around the thigh!!! OMG! Even though I could feel his amazing power, I did not feel in danger. Just as quickly, he let go and continued walking!
After that amazing trek, we drove (another long day) up to Queen Elizabeth National Park and spent 2 nights at the Buffalo Safari lodge. We did a couple of games drives in which we saw lots of antelope, elephants, buffalo and 6 lions (all female, with one or two young males). We followed with a boat ride on the Kazenga channel which was fantastic. The next day, we drove to Kibale National Park to look for Chimps. We arrived at our wonderful lodge, the Chimpanzee Forest Guest House at about lunchtime and then headed to Kibale for our Chimp Trek. At lunch, we met a couple who showed us amazing pictures from their trek that very morning. Unfortunately for us, even with 7 groups in the forest, we could only find 2 chimp sand they were up in the trees. That happens in nature, but the real lesson is to take the morning trek!!!
The next day, Charles drove us to Entebbe and our Uganda trip was over. One of my friends asked me about the birds in Uganda. My wife loves birds and by extension, I have come to love them as well. SHe asked Charles, our guide, about every single bird we saw. Charles had a very well worn copy of "Birds of East Africa". He didn't need that book because he had it memorized. Charles was a fantastic driver/guide/person! He made our trip incredibly special!
I can't thank Brian, Charles and GoExplore enough for making this so special!!!
