The most beautiful trip of my life 😊
There were three of us travelling and we booked the safari with a jeep and a trip to Nairobi National Park.
I recommend the provider because he is absolutely reliable, friendly and professional.
Thank you Patrick for the good organisation of the safari!
Our driver was Livingstone. He is very experienced and competent. He knows an incredible amount about the animals and knows the parks inside and out. He is also a very pleasant and great person and an incredibly good jeep driver! We felt safe at all times.
Thank you Livingstone for your patience with us!
On the first day we were picked up from the apartment on time by Patrick and Livingstone. We spent the morning in Nairobi National Park and were able to see rhinos, antelopes, crocodiles, lions, zebras and giraffes. We also visited the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to watch the baby elephants. It was a really successful, great trip! Afterwards we had a delicious meal together with Patrick and Livingstone in a lovely restaurant.
On the second day we drove to the Masai Mara early in the morning. We decided not to visit the park that same day because the entrance fee of 200 US dollars was too expensive for us. Instead, we planned the trip with more breaks. So the men had a cold beer more often and I had a cappuccino. 😊The trip itself was entertaining because there was always something interesting for us to see. The landscape, motorbikes transporting sofas or 4 people, cows, donkeys and goats next to and on the road and many, many potholes.
The Goshen Mara Camp is near the Masai Mara National Park entrance. That was convenient. The camp is simple, clean and has friendly staff. Electricity is available from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. and from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. I recommend bringing a flashlight or camping lamp. The camp is guarded day and night. The food was better than expected. A few monkeys made a lot of noise but otherwise it was very quiet.
You can charge your cell phone and power bank at any time in the jeep as it has a voltage converter built in and there are several USB plugs in the vehicle. Otherwise, just bring a cigarette lighter plug with you.
It was quite cold at night. So don't forget warm clothes!
The Masai Mara itself is a dream! We saw many, many animals. We took a coffee break at the Keekorok Mara Lodge. There we were able to watch hippos. Great lodge!
On the 3rd day we drove to Nakuru. Another great road trip! It is 190 km from the Masai Mara to Nakuru and it takes 4.5 hours. The landscape was very beautiful to look at and much greener than we imagined.
The Nakuru National Park is rather small but nice. It rained a little which made the trip in the park a little adventure. The park is also very beautiful and rich in animals.
We chose The Cabin Villa as our accommodation. The accommodation is really recommendable but the journey was too long for our tight schedule. I would choose the accommodation again but stay 2 nights. Otherwise, listen to Patrick and choose his recommended accommodation.
The journey from Nakuru to Amboseli National Park takes about 7 hours (362 km). The journey leads back to Nairobi and then on to Amboseli.
We stayed at the Penety Resort. A new lodge with a swimming pool, delicious food and good service. You have a great view of Kilimanjaro.
For me, the dusty Amboseli National Park with its herds of elephants was the highlight. See photos! Here we also visited a beautiful lodge in the park. We could see the elephants walking past while drinking coffee. It was just great!
On the last morning we had to get up early to get to Emali on time. Livingstone gave us the tickets and accompanied us to the front of the train.
The pastries are scanned like at the airport. Alcohol and lighters have to be handed over. Drinks in plastic bottles are not a problem.
Beer and snacks were available to buy on the train. The journey to Mombasa takes about 4 hours. It's a nice change from the many hours in the car. The comfort on the train is good. Peter was waiting for us in Mombasa and took us to our accommodation.
Price/performance, the organization, the driver and guide, the accommodation and also the food were all good! Top organizer! You can book without hesitation and save a lot of money compared to the travel agency.

An unforgettable experience
My wife and I had an extraordinary 8-day Mara River Great Migration safari in the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. We were lucky to witness the big 9, and the breathtaking wildebeest migration!
Our guide, Gama, was very friendly and extremely professional throughout the trip. He was exceptional in navigating us to good viewing spots and ensuring we didn't miss a thing. We got to learn intricate details on all the animals we saw. We also enjoyed well cooked delicious lunches provided during the long hours out in the parks, the entire trip was very pleasant and well-organized.
Lion King Adventures were quick to respond to our messages, and we felt taken care off, every step on the way. We will definitely come back!

Best safari company ever
It was an amazing experience. Excellent and close treat. Arnold, Luis, drivers and guides are very professional. They have everything very well organised and help you with any problem you may have. Everything, from the tour itself, accommodations and food could not have been better. Very good quality-price relationship.
They made us enjoy an unforgettable experience.

Friendly, comfortable and flexible
Had a great trip with Andrew to see the golden monkeys in Rwanda and gorillas in Uganda. The trip was well organised and Andrew was an excellent guide, he was flexible and friendly and had lots of knowledge about both countries. Communication leading up to the tour was good as well. Highly recommend.

Perfect in every way
We have just had a Safari experience of a lifetime through Lion King.
Our guide, Laizer, knew everything we asked of him and his animal spotting was almost magical to watch.
The 3 parks were so different but full of wildlife and yes, we saw the 'big 5'.
The accommodation was exceptional and the staff at every lodge/camp could not do enough for you.
We will treasure every memory, thank you.

Yes you can trust that you will get a great value and experience with Josh Dreamland
We had a great experience with Josh Dreamland. Angel, our coordinator, was great at helping us setup everything for what we were looking for and at our budget level Also she was super helpful in extra logistics like hotels and taxis that made everything easy during our trip. I would book again with them.

totally recommended it
We booked our tour months prior our trip last September, I won't denied in the beginning I was scared since it was my first time in Central Africa and I didn't know what to expect, neither I was sure to who was I sending my full payment to. I can say all my fears disappear soon enough due to the great communication the company provide during the quote of the trip as well the days prior to the trip. The team (guide and driver) were always on time and available to any questions we may had. The chosen hotels were fantastic, the activities amazing (it can't be described on how awesome was to see all the animals in the game drive) and I can say that absolutely everyone was friendly and welcoming. We travel to Rwanda and Uganda, but Rwanda definitely stole our hearts, the beauty, cleanliness and security of the place was not expected and we can't wait to go back. Absolutely recommend it!

An amazing, immersive mobile Safari in the Okavango Delta!
Our 10 day mobile safari was so much more than we could have even imagined. Sox, our guide, was so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful to answer all of our questions and explain the way of life “in the bush.” We experienced multiple sites, each with their own special highlights from animals sightings to unique landscapes.
We were a small group with Sox as our guide and Kapappa as camp assistant, who was so helpful and made incredible meals for our whole time. The camp set up was great, easy to erect tents, with bush ablutions (and shower), fridge in the van to keep our beers/drinks cold (very important) and power to charge when we needed it.
The trip was expertly guided by Sox and we felt excited, safe and immersed in our safari experience from start to finish!
I Would highly recommend this trip, and would like to thank Sox and Kappapa for making it so special!
