Kenya-Tanzania Safari travel by land
On the whole I would rate the safari as terrific. It exceeded our expectations. All of the properties that we overnighted in were excellent. My favorites were the Mara West Camp in Kenya and the Katikati Camp in the Serengeti. But these were difficult choices. There were no bad ones! This was a land safari with no in country air travel. All of the drivers (4) went out of their way to make the safari as enjoyable as possible. In fact we observed some wildlife events in Kenya that we might well have missed were it not for the drivers diligence. As far as wildlife is concerned the experience in Kenya was more satisfying than that in Tanzania probably due to the time of the year and migration status.
There was one glitch at the very beginning. Arrival times in Nairobi were not communicated to the local staff resulting in a confused start to the safari.

5-star treatment throughout our safari – guide/driver, accommodation, safari jeep & communication
What a great holiday experience! From the moment of booking – which always feels nerve-racking when you book from abroad – to the drop off at our airport hotel at the end of our safari, Africa Mc Tours & Travel have excelled at their job. Peter's communication, from our first email onwards, was swift, informative and helpful – even when our itinerary needed to be tweaked. Anthony (our driver/guide) was a pleasure to be with and became a sixth member of the family over the four days we spent with him. And everything else, including accommodation & food, safari jeep and Anthony's knowledge of the animals and birds, was excellent (and he even found us elephants when noise of the wildebeest had send them into the hills!). As a family group, travelling with children and my retired mum, we couldn't have been better looked after. I would not hesitate to recommend Peter, Anthony and the whole team at Africa Flash Mc Tours & Travel to other travellers.

Meticulous planner !
Four of us decided to tour SA for safari as well as to cover other attractions. When I contacted Patrick of Mmilo tours for safari, I enquired about them handling other parts of tour as well.
Patrick arranged a 6 hour tour of Johannesburg, covered panorama route, got us 3 days safari ( including two private safaris and a walking safari), booked us on a internal flight from Kruger Mpumalanga airport to Cape Town and arranged a wonderful 3 day tour of Cape Town. Their meticulous planning ensured that there was absolutely no hitch in our schedule.
Willem Heckroodt, our tour guide for Jo-berg and Panorama route was a polished gentleman with vast knowledge and experience.
Brenda, the untiring, charming lady at Cape Town was so full of energy and enthusiasm. Was so passionate about showing the things around.
All our stays: Maslow hotel, Sandton, Jo-berg, Dar Amane at Graskop, Pestana Kruger lodge at Kruger and Cape Milner at Cape Town were excellent.
Overall a very pleasant and comfortable experience with Mmilo tours . Would love to engage with them again if I were to go to SA again .

amazing
we first booked the 4 day hike to mount meru. it was a really great experience which we will never forget - nice people and beautiful nature. because our experience with safari soles was so nice we decided to book a 1 day safari trip to tarangire national park. the day was amazing, we were lucky to see the rare animals in the park and had the best driver (simon) who made this possible.

Great experience overall
I had a wonderful time in Tanzania partly because of my experience with Faithfull Adventures. I booked a 3 day group solo safari with them. I had Innocent organize my trip and he was very accommodating. He was able to arrange my pickup and drop off from my hotel at Dar Es Salaam to Arusha. The transfer vehicles were reliant and comfortable! The accommodation I picked was mid-range and Innocent organized Ngare Lodge, it was a nice lodge! Having a nice bed and hot shower after a long day of game drive was great. As a solo female traveler, I’d say the whole trip was comfortable and safe.
During the safari tour, my tour guides were amazing. I had 3 different ones throughout my safari. All of them are very knowledgeable and super friendly!
Overall, Innocent was very responsive (responses through WhatsApp within 24 hrs), respectul and accommodating!

Wilson is knowledgable, fun loving, experienced and kept us safe the entire trip.
Wilson Baragiswa, aka Wili, works for The Lion King Adventures for 4 years. Since he was born and grew up in the Safari region, he has extensive knowledge about the national parks, wildlife and local people. He is gifted at networking with other tour operators, so he gets the inside scoop about where high demand wildlife is moment by moment. We were able to see a leopard as well as the largest gathering of Wildebeest at the migration since 2019. He also consistently was able to get us front row seats, knowing exactly where to park the vehicle so the animals would walk towards us. I only used an iPhone for photos and have received numerous comments about how close we were to the animals. He also was able to answer all of my questions. Additionally, I always felt safe with him. He would only stop at safe and trusted places, share with us where the bathrooms were, and the time allotted at bathroom breaks. He kept the jeep clean, despite all of us trekking in dirt and rocks every day. We always had cold fresh water in the jeep, as well as other beverages. Wili was always on time, cleanly dressed, pleasant and kind. Over the days, he easily became part of our safari family.
We went on the 9 day Wildebeest Migration, and I felt that it was the perfect amount of time to tour the national parks. It was worth every penny. We stayed at the mid-level lodging. The rooms were always clean, and the beds were comfortable. The food was delicious as well. Wili knew where to find most of the camps, and the one camp which had recently moved, he found it before we went out on the migration for safety reasons.
I have several friends who are interested in going on a safari and am recommending The Lion King Adventures for the tour company and making sure they ask for Wili to be their guide.

Professional and well vast with all Uganda tourism destinations
While at the safari you really had fun and given all the relevant information I wanted to know about Murchison falls National park. The communication and question response was at high class. It’s a great deal to travel with Turkana wildlife safari as they value clients money with great services.

Super cool experience
Me and 2 friends were with Deeper Serengeti Safaris for 7 days and 6 nights, and we enjoyed every single minute with them. We appreciate especially Sadati the runner and Mike the guide for their thoughtful arrangements and warm host. We found the majority of animals that we wanted to see, and saw the Great Migration (wildbeasts crossing Mara River). I was almost speechless. This experience will be in my memory forever.

A fantastic adventure in Safari left us a lot of unforgettable memories
Thanks to Deeper Serengeti, we started our African journey from Tanzania and enjoyed a lot in past 7 days. Super thanks to our guide, Mike Paul, who shared his broad knowledge in wildlife creature and local culture, helped us have a better understanding about Tanzania. Great Immigration impressed me most, when hundreds of wildebeests crossed the Mara River. Made me truly feel the full of varieties in nature, and kindness from local people here.
