Kapande was a professional, friendly guide with much experience
We had a great safari with interesting tours. Everything was professional organized from the beginning to the end. We had a real professional guide (named Kapande) who did a great job and fulfilled all our wishes.
Also the Lodge was really nice with a big room, Swimmingpool and really helpful staff. Would recommend!

Incredible experience all around, a true eco-conscious safari - amazing team, lodges, cars, food!
I have had the chance to experience safaris across Tanzania and Kenya over the last 10 years and I can honestly say that Lion King Adventures was my top Safari experience. I booked my Mum and I in for a special trip to Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater, and from start to finish it was excellent service. Great communication before hand, with a precisely tailored itinerary based on our requests. Their safari vehicle was a brand new 2024 Land Cruiser, fully decked out with charging stations, fridge, back support pillows and very spacious. Our driver Saleh was not just incredibly professional but so kind and fun throughout. Thanks to him, we managed to see all the Big Five in 1 single day in Ngorongoro Crater! He also went above and beyond to get us safely to the airport despite issues with airline delays. The food service was superb, and Lion King pays special attention to being environmental friendly with their amazing metal food thermoses, and reusable cutlery. When we would park for picnic lunches in the Parks next to other groups, you would see other groups with lots of paper and plastic boxes and utensils, and creating a lot of trash. Not only was the quality of the food great, but we really appreciated that extra thought around sustainability. The lodges we stayed at were excellent standard, with great food, views, hot water and gorgeous tents. Lion King even went out of their way to print us a custom wine bottle - these small touches were incredible. We are super grateful to both Saleh for showing us an amazing experience, but also Gordon for his excellent communication and diligent support in getting everything organized for us. Asanteni sana!

Good communication and management
From the start the team were extremely responsive, they replied our initial query several days ahead of their competitors. This was an indicator for future interaction, with Wines updating our itinerary as we loomed at different options for our vacation. We were also impressed how the team pivoted when they discovered issues with some of the options and immediately provided arranged alternatives.
This gave us a good level of comfort that, if ever necessary, they would be there to sort it out. Whilst on the trip, our outbound internal flight was changed, and Wines helped us with this too.
Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and had a clear passion for his job and the natural world. Exceptional driving skills to manage the terrain!

5 stars!
Zanzi Trekking exceeded our expectations in every way. Justin and Honest made sure to have briefing sessions with us before each of our treks to Mt Meru and Kili. They checked our gear and gave us a thorough view of what our schedule would be like. Every part of the experience was better than I could have imagined. The food was amazing, and it’s all even more impressive considering that the chef, Dastan, and porters can bring all that delicious food up to 4500 meters elevation for us! Our team of porters (Calvin, Dominick, Lazaro, Matayo, Preygod, Elisha, and Tumani) were amazing and attentive to all our needs. Calvin provided excellent service, helping us to wake up in the morning and serving us meals, tea, snacks etc. Dominick and Lazaro accompanied us to the summits and were always there to make sure we had all the help we needed to ensure we got to the top! Last but not least, our guides were absolutely amazing. Justin, our main guide for Meru and Kili was so knowledgable and encouraging. He always was there to make sure we were happy, healthy, and equipped to make it to each summit. David was our assistant guide for Kili, and his good attitude and encouragement was very welcome. Getting to the summit of these mountains is no easy task, but this team made it so much more possible for us.

8 days Serengeti safari
8 days Serengeti safari
Our very knowledgeble guide Robert who knew his way around on the vast plains off Serengeti. He shared a lot off useful information about the animals and their behavior with us. He was as enthusiastic as we were. Safari starting after a very good breakfast with lunchbox in the car to enjoy the whole day spotting the animals. On our return to basecamp we always found a snack and drinks to enjoy before a well prepared dinner arrived. Damian the cook was amazing! Not one day the same meal and always presented with nice details in the presentation off the food.
We were provided with a good safari Land Cruiser which was always clean the next morning. Gasper came personally to our hotel to evaluate our trip.

Ayo jenga did an excellent Job!
Ayo Jenga took all of our wishes into account when planning, so we had a fantastic time... saw lots of animals (not least thanks to our excellent driver)... would plan and do our safari with Ayo Jenga again at any time.

The day after we arrived in Dar es Salaam, Daudi, owner of Asante Bibi, gave us a city tour of all the highlights of the city. The next day we went to Bagamoyo.
With a local guide we went to historic buildings, to the beach, a local restaurant and the mission. We learned so much, not only about the history, but also how to eat the local dish Ugali. Transport was well arranged and a driver expertly drove us through the hectic traffic. We were dropped off back at our hotel at the end of the day, tired but satisfied.
Both days we are well cared. Thank you. Asante. And we will love the Safari with you the coming days.

Fantastic
We had the most incredible experience on our safari tour. Jocky Tours was very responsive from the get-go... I had a million questions before we left and they replied faster than any other company. Also great value for money- we would highly recommend the mid range option, as the accommodation was amazing and a great way to end each day. Albert our guide didn't miss a beat with finding all the big 5 and more. We were blown away with what we saw and experienced.
