Muluye Tsegaw makes you look!
Muluye was open and forthright, and he had stories! He would not only share the historical context to Lalibela but he would have a lot of personal and professional experience anecdotes that made us appreciate the UNESCO Heritage site, it's importance to Ethiopians and the reverence that they hold for what the site represents. He was always on time, always looked out for you, made sure you were comfortable (as comfortable as we could get climbing up a mountain for 2.5 hours!), made sure we never missed a view or a monument that was critical to know about, and most of all, his exclamation of "wow" alerted us to an impending vista which was sure to blow our minds. This son of Lalibela never lost his sense of wonder and it comes through on his tours. Great value for money!

Outstanding from start to finish—expert guides, wonderful camps and an unforgettable adventure
This was our first safari, and we couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Lion King.
Our guide (Flugence) was amazing - really knowledgeable about all of the animals and birds, the parks, Tanzania and its people, and perhaps more importantly, excellent company for 10 days. He had a remarkable ability to find and spot all of the animals we wanted to see - and plenty more besides. One of the highlights was his skill in finding exactly the right place and time for us to catch the wildebeest crossing the river in the Northern Serengeti.
Flugence was also a excellent driver - we always felt completely safe no matter how challenging the roads became. He was really patient too: we were never rushed and he spent a lot of time in the evening helping us sort photos, identify all of the birds and animals we'd seen, and learn and practice our Swahili. We couldn't fault Flugence at all, and will definitely ask for him again when we return.
All of the accommodation was very good, but the two tented camps we stayed at in the Serengeti were particularly special - Embalakai Serengeti (Hippo Camp) and Serengeti Classic View Camp (Kogatende). Both of these had great locations and well furnished tents, the food was amazing, the staff super helpful and friendly, and lovely to see animals so close to the camp.
After visiting the parks, we did the night hike up Ol Doinyo Lengai - this was definitely more challenging than we anticipated (especially coming down), but a great experience, and the amazing views from the top of the volcano were well worth the effort. Our guide for the hike (Yohanna) was amazing - very patient, with plenty of rests and encouragement, and paced us perfectly to reach the top at sunrise.
Finally, we can't fault the organisation and service from Lion King - communication was great, everything was smoothly organised, and the whole holiday went off without a hitch. Dietary requirements (gluten free vegetarian food) had been clearly communicated to all accommodation in advance and flawlessly catered for (with more variety and choice than most places we have visited). Although it was a more expensive holiday than we'd normally take, it was excellent value - we're very happy to recommend them and hope to use them again in the future.

2. An unforgettable experience in Tanzania We had an incredible safari experience,
Lucas truly went above and beyond to give us the best possible wildlife experience. He worked hard to track animals, positioned the vehicle perfectly for photos and viewing, and shared his knowledge in a way that made every sighting even more special. His patience and dedication really stood out and he never rushed and always made sure we had the best views possible.
It was clear that Lucas is passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about his guests having an unforgettable safari. Thanks to him and Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris team they created memories we’ll never forget.
We would highly recommend Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris and Lucas as to anyone planning a safari as he made our trip truly exceptional.

Best tour guide
My wife and I had the trip of a lifetime, an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From gorilla trekking to game drives, every moment was magical and the wildlife encounters were simply breathtaking. Our guide Godwin was knowledgeable and attentive, and every detail of the trip was perfectly organized. Uganda’s beauty exceeded all our expectations, and the team took wonderful care of us throughout. Thank you for showing us the Pearl of Africa, we’ll cherish these memories forever. Highly recommended

Amazing Day at Hell's Gate and Krater Lake
We are a Family with three teenagers and had a wonderful day with our guide George. He has shown us great spots in Hell's Gate National Park and tell us interesting things about the region, the plants and the animals. Later we were at the Krater Lake, where we enjoyed a incredible lunch with seaview, before we walked to amazing view-points and through a magnifique nature area to see lots of animals. Georg is really a very committed and open guide who has a great knowledge about what he is doing. We can only recommend it and would do the tour with Georg again.

Great organization! Everything very smooth
We travelled with Dextrip Safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara and it was a great experience. The whole trip was well thought and meticolously organized. The Sentrim Camp was really nice, but the highight was our Guide Mbote. A real passionate person, always excited and kind and highly professional. We managed to see all the wildlife we wished. Our favourite area was Mara Triangle, amazing natural landscapes and full of animals in August.
Then we travelled to Serengheti. Very smooth trip. The camp at Serengheti was great, we loved being surrounded by animals and we saw many lions. Unfortunately August is not a good time to visit Serengheti as most animals moved to Masai Mara, so we would suggest to go at a different time.
Overall, nice experience!
