Lifetime trip
The trip was absolutely amazing and breathtaking. It was my first safari experience, and thanks to Ezekiel-Guide, we had the incredible opportunity to see the Big Five .His extensive knowledge of the wildlife made the experience even more enriching. The trip was exceptionally well-organized, and every moment on safari brought something new. I highly recommend this experience with Majestic explorers.

8 day Lemosho trek of Kilimanjaro, ACHIEVED!!!!!
We had a fantastic experience from day 1 of the trek. The guides were top notch and extremely knowledgeable, in fact the guide who took us, Eli, seems to be well known throughout Moshi as an expert guide and well regarded. I found this out when I went shopping in Moshi, I talked to a few people and they all knew of Eli.
The whole team, from the guides to the cooks, porters, etc, knew exactly what needed to be done, and carried out their jobs as required. As a 59 year old male, I was overweight and struggled with the last day, but with the support of the whole team, we attained our goal and I reached Uhuru Peak.
I could not have done this without the support of the whole team.

Adventures of a Lifetime
Our tour operator and driver were professional, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and very accommodating. With their local knowledge, we were able to see more than we imagined. They knew where to find the animals in their daily habits. Each excursion was simply amazing.

A top safari company, our guide Oswald provided a first class experience exceeding All Expectations
Having retired a few years ago, I have been traveling while I still can.
Wanted to go to Africa on Safari, but where to begin?
After googling and getting quotes of $20,000, then $30,000 for one week, that’s ridiculous!
I found a website, Safari Bookings, great site comparing all the tour operators.
In the top five was “Lion King Adventures”, after reviewing all of their tour offerings,
I requested a quote on a custom package, it came back under $8,000
Really! Everything I want for less than half the well know advertisers.
The whole booking process went smoothly, with plenty of emails covering all of the details.
The transfer driver picked us up at the airport as promised.
The first night hotel was 5 star with breakfast served overlooking the beautiful grounds.
Our guide Oswald (Ozzie) was waiting at the door first thing in the morning.
He gave us an introduction on what would happened over the next week.
The SUV (Bogo) we would be using, a new Toyota Land Cruiser, customized with a refrigerator filled with ice cold water bottles, we used a whole case. Dual fuel tanks and dual spare tires. Power strip for charging my cameras. Plenty of seating for six and a center aisle for standing and looking out the pop up top, full 360 viewing for tracking moving animals. While on safari you spend all day (8-10 hrs.) in the SUV transferring between parks and crawling over rough dirt roads looking for the next animal sighting. Ozzie always greeted us warmly each morning, always answered my many questions, always offered helping assistance, It was a joy to be in his care. You want your guide to be personable.
He always drove safely, we were passed by other drivers going too fast for conditions, and then to find them broke down in the middle of the road later. We passed many blown tires, broken suspensions and a truck with both front tires hanging at opposite angles, sheared off tie rods.
Safari means going into the vast remote wilderness, looking for animals in their home environment.
Thus, there is no power lines, no cell towers, no pavement, no street signs, no gps, no maps.
The ONLY modern thing out there is gravel on the main roads, the majority of roads are just dirt tracks wondering through the hundreds of miles of vastness . Ozzie never got lost, never consultant a map, never asked for directions.
He was stopped many times to help out new lost guides with concerned guests in the back looking nervous.
The only way to get into the parks are with a local licensed guide driving a 4-wheel drive. They all have 2way radios.
When someone finds a rare sighting, the word gets out and soon a dozen trucks show up joggling for the best viewing, then moving out of the way for the next to get a great view. NO tour busses belching fumes, no stupid tourist driving rental cars. Just dedicated professional guides filled with answers on the details of every animal.
Every day included a hot picnic lunch on a table cloth no less.
Ozzie had a picnic basket with two stainless steel canisters, real pottery plates and real metal cutlery.
The food was freshly prepared by the hotel each night, included rice/pasta, chicken and/or beef, vegetables.
While other safari guides provided a box lunch, cold sandwich, chips, and a juice box.
Do I regret going with Lion King, NO.
Would I do it again, YES.
Would I cut corners to save a few dollars, NO
Don’t over pay a hugh sales commission to the well-known resale brokers.
Quality costs a little more, so don’t be cheap, just go with the best! Lion King Adventures.

JACKSON IS ANA AMAZING GUIDE
This was my second trip to Tanzania, and I had an unforgettable six days under Jackson’s expert guidance. Jackson is an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable safari guide. I’m already looking forward to our third adventure together. Hope was also an excellent tour organizer, always available to address any issues that arose during our safari. I highly recommend Ibrahim Goin Tanzania Safaris for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania.

A Safari to Honor My Brother’s Dream
In 2020, we lost my brother to COVID-19, which deeply affected my mother. He had always dreamed of going on a safari after the pandemic, but sadly, he never had the chance. In 2022, my other brother and I decided to fulfill his wish while also bringing some joy back into our mother’s life.
After searching for the right travel company, we found Viccation Travel, which made everything seamless and unforgettable. They planned a 10-day safari that took us through Victoria Falls, Chobe, and the Okavango Delta. We saw an incredible array of wildlife, and just being surrounded by nature helped my mother heal in ways we never expected.
The Viccation team was amazing—from Sihle, our travel planner, to Koffie, our driver and guide—everyone we met was kind, professional, and went out of their way to make our experience special.
This trip wasn’t just a vacation; it was a tribute, a healing journey, and a dream come true. Thank you, Viccation Travel,
