Fantastic!
From the moment we enquired Benjamin was so responsive answering all our questions and curating our perfect itinerary.
We had the most fabulous time on our 4 day safari and Benjamin and Alex showed us all that the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti had to offer and giving us insightful knowledge on the area, animals and culture.
They gave us an unforgettable experience and memories to last a lifetime.

Outstanding and knowledgeable
We had an exceptional experience with Lion King Adventures while visiting Tanzania in October 2024. We did a private tour that included just my husband and myself. Our tour guide, Joffrey, was absolutely lovely.
The vehicle was clean and well appointed. Joffrey was an amazing driver! He navigated around other safari vehicles with remarkable precision. I believe he could have parked it on a tightrope.
We saw so many animals because of his eagle eyes. He demonstrated a thorough knowledge of all the places we went and the various animals we saw. He would stop to show us unique sights in the environment and explain the nuances of what we were seeing.
The food prepared for our stops was excellent. We ate a hot lunch prepared by the accommodations where we stayed and picnic packed to the locations we visited.
All the accommodations were excellent as were the staff. They all took such good care of us.
We selected Lion King Adventures because of the good reviews and were not disappointed!

Our South Africa safari with Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. From the very first communication, their team was incredibly responsive, professional, and informative. They answered all our questions promptly and provided helpful guidance that made planning our trip effortless.
Service throughout the tour was top-notch. The guides were not only knowledgeable and experienced but also genuinely passionate about the wildlife and environment. Their ability to track animals and explain their behaviors added so much depth to the experience. We felt safe, looked after, and constantly impressed by how smoothly everything was organized.
Value for money was outstanding. Considering the level of personal attention, the quality of accommodation, and the richness of the safari experience, it was well worth every cent. There were no hidden costs, and every detail was thoughtfully included.
When it comes to reliability, Elephant Herd delivered on every promise. Pick-ups were punctual, the itinerary was followed precisely, and all logistics were handled seamlessly. We never had to worry about anything—just sit back and enjoy the adventure.
As for the tour itself—absolutely unforgettable. We saw the Big Five (and so much more!), explored beautiful landscapes, and experienced the thrill of being up close with nature. Each game drive offered something new and exciting, and the guides made sure every moment was special.
If you're considering a safari in South Africa, I can’t recommend Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris highly enough. They truly went above and beyond to create a once-in-a-lifetime experience

Knowledgable, pleasant, fullfilling our wishes, creative in organizing the perfect trip and safaris
We have made such a special trip with our family (parents and 2 sons of 22 and 19 yrs) in beautiful Uganda. It is a beautifully varied country and Toon and Sander from Grassrootz have organized a perfect trip for us, even for our smaller budget. In 10 days we did jeep, walking and boat safaris with a perfect guide Emmy. He is super knowledgeable, pleasant to travel with for 10 days, arranges everything perfectly down to the last detail, finds nice coffee and places to eat and is creative in coming up with even more sights. It was great and we saw an incredible amount. Elephants, giraffes, endless hippos, crocodiles, beautiful birds, too many to mention. The country is beautiful and the people are incredibly friendly and helpful. The nature is impressive and varied. From broad savannas, beautiful overgrown hilly landscapes and the most beautiful lake ever seen, Lake Bunyonyi with 29 islands. Chimpanzees a few meters away. We have trekked from Kampala, Murchison Falls National Park ,Lake Mburo National Park, Northern Queen Elizabeth National Park, Ndali Kasenda Crater Lakes and DjaDja Banga. In short, a must for everyone!

Wonderful
Great Tanzanian vacation experience
We were part of the “soft opening” of this lodge and so happy with the experience! The lodge is lovely and very comfortable, with tasteful local art decoration. We were introduced to Raina, a local artist, who paints amazingly emotional oil painting and we purchased one of her pieces.
The staff at the lodge is 5 star quality. Israel in particular is such a fun character and he’ll get anything from the kitchen or bar that you ask for. The Masala tea was the best of any lodge we went to and the morning crepes are not to be missed!
The Lodge made all the safari arrangements for us and we loved our 12 day travel to Ngorogoro Park, Tarangire Park, and Zanzibar. They booked the flights for us to and from Zanzibar and took care of airport transfers. They also picked us up from Kilimanjaro airport so we always felt safe and well taken care of.
The staff recommended we visit a local Masai village, a Masai market and the Cultural Heritage Center. We did all this since we spent several nights at the Lodge before we began the safari. I highly recommend seeing all three venues!
The safari was in a very comfortable Heart of Africa safari vehicle with an open air top. Our guide, Ephata, did an excellent job, bringing us to close proximity to the big 5 (lions, elephants, Buffalo, rhino, and even a leopard), along with various African birds and other animals.
We went during “wet season” but the rains were short and we got sun every day. I even got a mild sunburn! We saw plenty of wildebeest even though they weren’t “migrating”.
The last day we went to the Snake Park. I’m not a fan of snakes but this was a surprisingly excellent tour where I learned a lot about snakes, reptiles, as well as local culture. There are even camels here you can ride!
I hope to be fortunate enough to visit Heart of Africa Lodge again in the future. I love the fact that they also run an orphanage close by, with part of the profits from the Lodge going to support this wonderful non-profit organization.
