Life lasting experience
My wife and I had eight days of safari in January 2020. We are very pleased that we ordered a safari from Lion King Adventures. Our experience much exceeded our expectations. We expected that it must be great, but it was astonishing to see so much wildlife.
Before our trip, I contacted three companies that provide safari services to their customers. The answers and advice that I received from Lion King were the most helpful. It was a deciding factor in ordering a safari from Lion King Adventures.
The safari itself was incredible. There were so many species in the park and it was so exciting to observe animals and birds in their natural habitat! At the end of the third day, we thought we had seen almost everything, but it surprised us during the following days how much more we saw. Without a doubt, it was thanks to our guide Richard, with his ability to detect animals and birds, his positive attitude and willingness to help and his knowledge of the wildlife. Richard instantly gave us the name of each animal and bird in the park, providing clues on how to distinguish them from some other closely related species, and telling us interesting facts about them.
An African safari is a life lasting experience. That is why we are glad to make the right choice about the company we had safari with. We are very grateful for Richard, Pendo, Rose and other company employees to do their best, so our dream could come true.

Amazing
We would recommend Zippy and Australken very highly, they are a great company. We had a 7 day trip in Kenya which was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide Albanas was so informative and genuinely enthusiastic about seeing all the animals which meant we had a good time, he was very patient too rather than chasing animals around like some of the tours do not stopping to watch all the interesting moments take place. He also knew hundreds of birds off by heart to tell us about. The cook Daniel also made us tasty vegetarian food and the places we stayed were all great.
Zippy is very well organised and thinks of every detail, she made it simple to book and ask any questions we had before our trip, she met us at the airport and checked in with us during the safari, she even kindly helped us book another trip we wanted to do in Tanzania even though it was a separate company. Thanks Zippy for being so helpful and accomodating and making our holiday so enjoyable.

Amazing, exceeded all expectations
What an amazing time. The camp exceeded all expectations, the staff helpful and the facilities excellent (amazing chalets, showers and WiFi) but most importantly the wildlife danced for me. The road to the lodge was terrible, but the camp more than made up for it

It was perfect. Best food we ever had in tanzania at Decken Camp and incredible experiences.
I would recommend Grassroots as a provider which is very friendly and helpfully.
We visited Udzungwa and Mikumi and it was a very nice experience! The campsides he offered are very nice too with very friendly staff. Hondo Hondo is wellknown and the best place to start to the waterfalls.
Decken Camp was very new, I think we were the 6th guests they had. Very, very friendly, clean and near to the Mikumi park. But the best was the food they offered. Everyone also the kids were excited!
We will come back as soon as possible next year.

Fantastic safari in a beautiful country
What a beautiful country! The people, weather, beaches, bush, cricket and the food was absolutely superb. We had a fantastic safari in the Kruger NP and really enjoyed our time in Cape Town. Cannot recommend the country as a holiday destination enough!

I got help with gorilla permits!
My sister and I were planning an independent trip through southern Uganda and wanted to purchase gorilla and chimp permits in advance to make sure we didn't miss our chance to see them. After emails to many different companies and even the government agency that issues the permits, E-trip Africa was the only company that was helpful and responsive to our needs. For a reasonable fee, they arranged the purchase and delivery of the permits. I'm very grateful to Ben for all his help and knowledge. If I had gone with an organized tour, I would absolutely have chosen E-trip Africa simply because of their excellent customer service!

Honeymoon in the Northern Circuit
We did a one-week private safari in the northern circuit operated by eTrip, starting off from Arusha to Tarangire (one night at Lemala's Mpingo Ridge), Ndutu (one night at Safari Lodge), central Serengeti (two nights at Lemala's Ewanyan Camp) and Ngorongoro (two nights at Lemala's Camp). Both the itinerary and the accommodations were perfect for our honeymoon, very well located and with the perfect combination between comfort and Safari-vibe.
Given the time of the year, we had very green sceneries, and were able to experience the Great Migration first-hand in the southern Serengeti area, around Ndutu. We were lucky with the rain as well, as the road was mostly in good conditions and there were no areas without access.
In terms of wildlife, every location had something else and special to offer and we never stopped being amazed by it. Tarangire with the elephants and the Baobab trees, Ndutu with the migration, Serengeti with everything (tons of lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes...) and Ngorongoro with the rhinos. We highly recommend such an itinerary as it shows you different landscapes and is efficient in terms of transportation.
As for the tour operator, eTrip, everything was super well organized, we had no issues with the accommodations, our guide Victor was very nice and had an amazing eye to find animals very well hidden, they provided water every day, the binoculars were very useful... Also they showed to be very transparent with the rates, and very flexible to change the itinerary to our preferences, as well as going further ahead by recommending better accommodations for better rates they were able to get.
We're looking forward to plan our next safari.

Walking with the rhino
My girlfriend and I have done the daytour to Motopos. Courtney was our guide. He really gave meaning to being guide. Following the tracks of the rhinos and searching for them in the bush. We found them and walked with them. That was a great experience. The scenic views of Motopos were also excellent. Courtney knows a lot and is very relaxed guide to be with.
