Professsional friendly and expert.
We were with Ronell and Gavin at Camp Bethel for a 5 day holiday. They literally pulled out all the stops. From braais to drives to just amazing meals they had it all. The camp was really serene environment and the care they gave us was perfect. I could not have had a better holiday.

Great friendly service, we felt so looked after!
From the planning stage to our actual holiday the communication from Exec African travel and tours was fantastic.
Manuel planned our itinerary so we got to experience everything we desired.
Our tour guide Lee was waiting at the airport and escorted us to our private air conditioned vehicle, with a cool bottle of water waiting. While driving to our accommodation he confirmed our evening activity Dinner on the Zambezi River and what time he would be picking us up. On arrival at our hotel he bought our suitcases to reception and made sure we had a smooth check in. We stayed at Dzimbahwe lodge Victoria Falls. The lodge was small and fairly basic but was a good base for our up coming activities. We had a swim then prepared for our sunset cruise on the Zambezi River. Lee picked us up and transferred us to the beautiful boat where we had an amazing dinner with beautiful wines cruising the Zambezi while seeing the wildlife in and around the river. Returning back to port Lee once again was waiting to take us back to our accommodation during this time he confirmed pick up time in the morning for our Chobe National Park Safari.
After an early breakfast Lee picked us up and transferred us to the Botswana border and handed us over to our Safari guide Cobra. After border formalities we enjoyed the Safari seeing many animals we had an included lunch at a very nice lodge then we enjoyed an afternoon cruise on the Chobe River, not as luxurious as our sunset cruise but very enjoyable. Coming back to the border once again Lee was there waiting for us to take us back to our lodge so we could prepare for our evening activity a special
BOMA Dinner and drum show. The food and entertainment were fantastic the only complaint that I had was that some people were smoking inside the eating area. Once again after our dinner/show our guide Lee was waiting for us to take us safely back to our lodge.
Day 3 we were up early for a morning walk around the falls followed by breakfast then off to do a helicopter ride over the falls, we then returned to our lodge freshened up where we then checked out and started our journey to Hwangi Safari Lodge after checking in to this beautiful lodge we had some lunch and a swim then went on an afternoon Safari adventure. Returning to enjoy the Lodges restaurant for dinner and well deserved sleep.
Day 4 after an early breakfast we had a full game drive with Lazarus he taught us about tracking animal prints and well we ended up having morning tea with a couple of lions that were hanging around a water hole, I had to pinch myself to check that this was really happening. Then off we went again to spot more animals, but returned to the water hole to enjoy watching our lions and a herd of elephants while enjoying our packed lunch. It was an amazing day!
We returned back to the lodge with time to freshen up and enjoy a cocktail before dinner. Lee joined us for dinner on the lawn and we enjoyed telling him about our wonderful safari and lunching with lions.
Sadly after breakfast we had to head back to Victoria Falls for our plane back to Johannesburg.
Lee was an intelligent guide and answered all our questions and was full of interesting information. We were very lucky to have such delightful person look after us, we felt like royalty.
Manuel from Exec African tours and travel coordinated our trip wonderfully I highly recommend this company. Great communication skills and they leave nothing to chance.
We were extremely happy with this part of our 3 week tour of Africa.

Excellent 10 points
We arrived in Arusha on the 9th, we had three recommendations and we decided on Suricata.
The prices were similar, the experience was exactly as they explained it would be.
We started the safari on the 11th and returned on the 15th, we went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro (inside the Crater) and finally Laguna Manyara.
We slept twice at the Suricata Boma Lodge, SPECTACULAR, in front of the lagoon.
The other nights we slept in very particular and organized camps, guarded by the Masai.
The comfort in those giant tents was incredible.
We had a super friendly guide, DAMIÁN, I think that also makes the difference since it is 5 days of great coexistence, we were also lucky with the other 4 members of the group, very fun people.
We were able to see the big 5 and more.
Personally, I think it's more fun to do it in a group than privately, that's the impression I got.
I must also highlight the great weather we had, I think we went at a good time.
Suricata also recommended a city tour in Arusha on Sunday when we had nothing to do, and it was also a great experience with DANIEL, the guide, very friendly, he knew all the history of the place and took us to interesting places and then we went to dinner, the next day we started the safari.
Beautiful experience

Wow!
We are very glad that we booked the 7-day safari with Lion King Adventures. Our guide, Immanuel Chamboa, was an expert in flora and fauna. He was funny and always shared his experience and knowledge with us. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all the animals we had hoped for—even some that are quite rare. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures and our guide, Immanuel Chamboa!

5 incredible days of Safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro:
It was an unforgettable experience!
Each park had its own beauty and always brought a surprise, mouth-opening moments of admiration. The variety of ecosystems and observing animals in harmony, it's as if you were the "Lion King in HD"!
The 5 days were perfect and enough! We managed to see the famous big 5, we really weren't expecting it!
On the last day we managed to cross off the rhinoceros from the list, although further away.
We saw so many lions, it was not my expectation at all, I thought it would be difficult to see them and that at most it would be from very far away, but the truth is that we saw groups of 7 lions, a lioness with her litter in the shade, a pair of juvenile lions landing next to the solar panel in Serengeti and 5 lionesses resting in the grass in camouflage, and so many others. And those weren't the only cats, a leopard resting in the tree, a camouflaged cheetah and two Serval cats.
We saw many elephants, in groups, others alone in incredible landscapes, in the 3 natural parks!
The animal that stuck in our minds the most was the hyena, with its majestic gait.
And a mental photograph was clearly the giraffes against the light on the road that connects Ngorongoro and Serengeti! A trip full of dust and full of adventure.
Moises, our guide was an incredible driver, we highly recommend any safari to be done with him, Moises had a GPS in his head and knew the tricks of the roads. We saw many cars stuck on the side of the road, sometimes with a flat tire, sometimes with a broken steering wheel. I was just wondering when will it be our turn? The roads are not at all friendly for cars, it takes a lot of esteem in the jeep and driving. It was interesting to realize that I had been going on safaris for over 20 years!
We really liked our guide!
The lunches always tasted good, and the camp experience was authentic!
I didn't expect so much quality and service in the middle of nowhere, it's impressive.
Sleeping with the sound of animals was very beautiful!
In short, a dream trip!
Finally, Filipa Pedrosa from The soul of Tanzania was very friendly and helpful, guiding our questions before booking the experience, which was a crucial point in giving us the trust and credibility of the company, as it is necessary to deposit the money before the trip.

An Unforgettable Luxury Safari Experience
Our luxury safari experience was truly the best we’ve ever had. Every detail was carefully thought out, from the impeccable service to the expert guides who made all the difference. Their knowledge and passion for wildlife brought the experience to life, making it far beyond just a safari.
We were a group of 8, and without exception, everyone loved it. Since then, we’ve recommended this company to friends and clients, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. What really stood out was the human touch – the warmth and care from the team made our trip feel truly special.
If you’re looking for a top-tier safari, this company is the perfect choice. It’s not just about luxury, but also about creating unique, memorable experiences.

Just perfect!
We just finished our 4 days trip to Samburu and Meru with Ways of Africa.
We can just recommend Ways of Africa to everyone.
It was just perfect from the beginning: very professional, transparent communication.
The tour itself was perfectly organised, too. Everything went on time, they chose very nice hotels.
Our drivers did not become tired at all trying to find another animal after another.
So to all, if you look after an unforgettable experience: Book with Ways of Africa!

A trip to remember
Pickup from hotel was smooth and on time, communication via WhatsApp. George the driver and guide with more than 20 years experience really made the trip memorable. He knew where to spot wildlife before other vehicles did. The first full day in the Mara, 4 of the Big 5 were spotted due to his expertise. Glad I booked the jeep, very roomy and the best option for the rugged terrain. All lodges visited were great, food was buffet style., accommodations comfortable. Amboseli could do with a little touchup. Thanks again George.
