Wonderful experience
Doing a 5-day safari in the national parks of Northern Tanzania with Lion King was a wonderful experience. Everything was well organized, including pickup from and drop-off at the airport at the end of the safari.
Our guide Ali was amazing, giving us a lot of information about Tanzania, its culture and its wildlife. Only thanks to his dedication were we able to see animals we had already given up hope to see. Having a guide as knowledgeable and passionate for his job as Ali is a true blessing.
We would absolutely recommend Lion King to anyone looking to do a safari.

Cynthia is an angel from heaven. She was always there to guide and assist me in times of needs in the preparation of this safari trip for my family. You can count on her to deliver though stormy weather or high water.

Amazing Safari
Linah was so much help because she answered all of my questions before safari even at late night and some times i felt sorry for her but she was the best in everything.
For your future holiday,i recommend this company.

Smooth, easy to work with and made our dreams come true
You can’t beat Lush safaris for what they do. From meeting us at the airport after countless rescheduled flights, which they helped us rearrange, to making my 45th birthday a big celebration out in the bush, this team went above and beyond. We will never forget Abbey and how helpful he was. He even helped me find a pair of special beaded shoes made by the Maasai. We thank your team for the adventure of a lifetime

Discover Africa’s expertise and outstanding service created an unforgettable trip.
We had an excellent experience with Discover Africa!!! Matthys was our agent, and he is very knowledgeable and thoughtful, and spent a lot of time planning with us, both through zoom and email, to make sure our custom itinerary was spot-on. The trip was incredible! Exactly what we dreamed of for a first-time Africa experience. We visited Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, the Okavango Delta, and Cape Town. All of the accommodations and guides were wonderful and all of the travel arrangements were smooth. We highly recommend Matthys and Discover Africa!

Safari has overcome my expectations
Tour was well organised. We were able to visit tanghire park, serengeti and ngorongoro and we were lucky to see all the animals and many chitas and lions.
The only thing I can say is that it would have been better if all the people in the jeep would have sleep in a same location instead of 2 differents ones.
The guide Sereva was professional and he explained us many things about animals and their behavior.
Francklyn was my contact for the tour operator. He was alwyas available and professional.

Good operator, Terrific guide!
This was my third safari, the first just me and my 12 ys old son for 12 days
I should divide my review, one for for the support on booking/ organisation of the trip and another one the trip itself.
On the one hand, dealing with Apodiformes was always very easy; since the beginning, they has tried to find the best combination to adapt my request to my budget.
During the trip there were some issues regarding booking and organisation, but Apodiformes has been able to fix always them.
On the other hand, the safari guide Francis was a nightmare and made the whole trip quite painful!
Examples?
- the land rover was almost missing shoking absorber .. and this is crucial when you spend 10 hours per day on streets full of bumps and holes; the door opened during the trip
- the guide was very Often on the phone texting with who-knows instead of been focused on the drive
- often the tend of the land cruise didnt' close completely ... and at 6 am it's very cold
- lack understanding of the trip schedule ... it was me to tell where we had to sleep every day
- he skipped almost 1/3 of the game drives ... everytime with a different excuse
In each game, he was always far from the animal (we have always been on the back of all the other land cruise), no single explenation about parks, animals, ...never asked if we were taking good pictures/spots and if he could leave or if he had to stop.
One day he asked me to pay 200 US a ranger because of some problems with park tickets .. of course I called apodiformes and they fixed it
in few words ... 1 star is even too much.
To sum up, read the review about the best guide and ask to have some of them.

Perfect
Our trip to Kenya was a dream came true. Willy is the best guide you can have. We were able to see the big six and much more. Willy always got the best place to see the animals so close that you could touch them. He is a very experienced guide. Looking forward to come back soon.

Helpful, cunning and providing top notch service!
Me and my partner booked a two week trip to South Africa which included safari at two different lodges and a few relaxing days in Cape Town and Hermanus in the end. Everything went so smoothly and our contact Karina at Safari Online was simply the best! From the beginning we got several different suggestions, tailored to our needs and requirements. From the planning of this trip to the completion everything have just worked as it should, we didn't have to think about anything at all really.
The transfers from airport to lodges, between lodges and between boutique hotels were all booked and handled for us, even the domestic flight and check-in was handled! All in all, it was a wonderful experience and such a joy! The lodges and boutique hotels we stayed in were simply fantastic and the tour guide she booked in Cape Town (The fynbos guy) was such a knowledgeable, funny person that really gave us so much insight in both fynbos, animals and general cultural aspects of South Africa and the diversity of the country.
