Great communication and great adventure !
Great experience with Empirical Tour and Travel ! It was my first time traveling solo, and my first time in Rwanda. The communication prior to the trip was great. Eraste was very patient with all my questions and took the time to answer them all. The activities organized by Eraste were all great and well chosen. I felt safe the entire time I was with Eraste and Innocent. I recommend Empirical for your rwandan adventure !

2 adults, 3 day safari.
Recommend this tour company, safe and informative. The guide, Barney, was extremely knowledgeable and communicative. The safari drives were amazing, although we were unlucky not to see the “Big 5” (no rhino) we were lucky to see many other animals.
We were collected straight from Nelspruit airport promptly (actually early!) and returned to Johannesburg.
The accommodation is basic and rustic - but no issues. The highlight was the sunset safari. Highly recommend this tour company!

AMAZING!!
Going on a safari was a lifelong dream. My daughter-law planned the trip for us through Tanzania Choice Safaris - and it was the best decision ever! Our guide, Kakasii, met us at the airport and was with us throughout the trip. HE WAS AMAZING!! We learned so much about the area, the wildlife and the way of life in Tanzania. We saw the Big 5 over the course of our 3-day safari and everyday was filled with non-stop wildlife sightings. We were so well taken care of, ate amazing food and enjoyed the company of a truly inspiring guide. We are absolutely planning another trip and would not even think about going with anyone else. Thank you for a life-changing experience!

Excellent Service
We were part of a group that utilized KLA Adventures for both in-town transportation and a following safari, so we saw both sides of Gasper's and Frank's capabilities. They were outstanding! For the service work in and around Arusha, they fit right in with our team. First, they are local to the area, so they know all about Arusha and surrounding areas. Some of our work was in remote villages and schools, so knowing the area was a hugh asset. Gasper and Frank are very good drivers. Sometimes it appeared that there was no way they could squeeze their vehicle through a tight space, but they never once failed. Second, they were more like a part of our team than just a transportation provider. They were always on time and helpful with the many groups we interacted with. We often had meals together.
A smaller segment of our group signed up for the safari, so we were all in one vehicle, driven by Gasper. He is very knowledgable about the Serengeti and other parks. He usually spotted the animals before we did and he gave a good description of the animals and areas we visited. Being on safari is often a hit-or-miss situation regarding the animals. Sometimes you see them and sometimes you don't. Gasper was very good at taking us to places where we did see various animals and he was very willing to spend time at a given sighting rather than rushing off to another site with the "herd' of other safari vehicles.
We were not disappointed with our experience. KLA Adventures is very highly recommended.

High Standards and Professionalism Gave Us An Unforgettable Lifetime Experience!
KLA Adventure's Gaspar and Frank greeted us warmly at the airport, assisting us through customs and gathering our checked luggage.
We would be with them for two weeks and our experience was personalized from the moment we met them. Our visit to Tanzania would include many activities in and around Arusha as well as 4 days on safari. They quickly became far more than tour operators, they became our friends and guides. We required a great deal of flexibility in regard to times and places including some early mornings and late evenings and sometimes the group needed to separate for different logistic needs. They were there to meet all of our requirements. They also participated with us in our mission acting as translators and helping us to understand the cultural features of the country and the people. Of course, we were full of questions and they patiently taught us and pointed out the things we needed to know for our experience to be even more successful.
Our mission took us into the rural areas of Maasai land, far from the beaten tracks of the city. Their familiarity with the culture and languages and their driving skills proved to be indispensable for not getting lost or stuck!
Following our mission, we enjoyed an amazing display of the migration through the Serengeti. Sometimes the zebras and wildebeests surrounded our vehicle as they moved toward their destination. Our sightings of lions, cheetahs, elephants brushing the vehicle, many types of antelope, and funny little warthogs and a distant rhino allowed us to check off the Big 5. In doing so, we learned so much from Frank and Gaspar about all of the animals, birds and flora.
I would highly recommend this company and our team is already planning on using them again in 2026.

Geofrey was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming which made our trip so memorable
We are so happy we went with Lion King Adventures for our safari - it was truly an amazing and unforgettable trip. The communication from the beginning as we were reserving the trip was easy and quick, with all our questions answered in a timely manner which helped make this process seamless and put us at ease heading into the trip. We went on a 6-day trip with Lion King Adventures and went to all the places we were hoping to see: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Crater.
Our safari guide, Geofrey Wanka, was fantastic and was truly a large reason why our trip was particularly so special and memorable. Geofrey greeted us every morning with a big smile. He was very informative and knowledgeable, teaching us so much about not only the animals we encountered but also about the beautiful country of Tanzania. He always made sure we were comfortable and prioritized what we wanted to see during the trip. We never felt rushed, and we easily saw the big 5 plus so many more animals on our trip (and he always got us the best views). His kindness and expertise throughout our safari made a lasting impression on us as we experienced an adventure of a lifetime.
We highly recommend others book with Lion King Adventures and to also ask for Geofrey as their guide!

Amazing
The Safari with Suricata Safaris was great. Lewis the safari guide was really nice and we saw so many animals. It was really amazing.
Also the food they served was delicious. It was also organic and they served it on plates so there was no waste.
So for me this was a great safari I wouldn’t have missed this.
