Once in a lifetime experience!
Our safari with Nkollo Tours was truly beyond anything we could have dreamed of. From the very beginning, the team was incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful, making the entire experience feel easy and well organised.
A special thank you to Mercy from the office, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole trip. She was incredibly responsive, checked in with us regularly, and made sure everything was going smoothly. It was reassuring to know that we had such great support throughout the journey.
We visited Tarangire, the North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater, and every destination was completely different and incredible in its own way. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the wildlife exceeded anything we could have imagined. We saw so many animals — including the Big Five — and it honestly felt like we saw almost everything we could have hoped for. Every day brought another incredible sighting or unforgettable moment.
The wildebeest migration was a particular highlight and was more spectacular than we ever imagined. Seeing the sheer scale of the migration and experiencing it in person was something we will never forget.
Our guide, Ringo, also played an important part in making the safari so memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions, and clearly passionate about the wildlife and the parks. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience, while also giving us the space to simply take everything in and enjoy those magical moments.
Overall, our safari with Nkollo Tours was an incredible experience from start to finish. The organisation, communication, wildlife, landscapes, and unforgettable moments all came together to create a trip that exceeded our expectations.
A huge thank you to Mercy, Ringo, and the entire Nkollo Tours team for an absolutely unforgettable safari. We would recommend Nkollo Tours in a heartbeat!

Superb communication by Happy
Happy helped me organizing the safari tour. She did a great job!
I ended up not booking the tour but it certainly was not because of her communication or her work in preparing the quote. Another operator had a slightly more convenient itinerary.

Amazing
We had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The whole team was incredibly professional, friendly and attentive. They were always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and even thinking of little things they knew we might enjoy, which made the experience feel very personal.
Our safari guide was fantastic. He took the time to explain how the savannah and its ecosystem work, answered all our questions, and shared so much knowledge with us. You could genuinely tell how passionate he was about his job, which made discovering the wildlife even more interesting.
The person from the agency who accompanied us, Edson, was equally amazing. He made sure everything was taken care of throughout the trip, spontaneously offered to take beautiful pictures of us, and even surprised us with some lovely souvenirs. We really felt looked after the entire time.
What impressed us even more was how helpful they were when we accidentally lost our backpack. They went out of their way to help locate it and arrange for it to be sent to where we were staying afterwards. That level of care really says a lot about them.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The safari itself was unforgettable, but the people made it even more special. It honestly made us want to come back to Tanzania, and when we do, we would happily book another safari—or any other excursion—with this agency and team.
Thank you for making our time in Tanzania so memorable!

Professional and attentive tour operator who delivers a wonderful safari experience.
This was an unforgettable safari experience.
We enjoyed stunning Rift Valley landscapes and observed a wide variety of wildlife, including buffalos, zebras, impalas and many colourful birds.
Our driver‑guide Johny was very friendly, knowledgeable and hard‑working. He shared lots of interesting information about the park and local animals, and always prioritised our viewing and photography needs.
The lodge was lovely, with wild animals roaming around the premises. It was a wonderful wilderness adventure, and we highly recommend this trip.

Perfect experience with Julius!
We did a 10 days Safari in Uganda with Julius guide and was the best experience. He cared about everything everyday and gave us a lot of tips. He was friendly and easy going, punctual and responsible. If we come again to Uganda we will hire him again for sure!

Exceptional service, seamless planning and an outstanding private safari with Hamadi.
We booked our honeymoon safari with Lion King Adventures and had an exceptional experience from start to finish. Communication with the office was always quick, friendly and uncomplicated, and we especially appreciated being able to ask last-minute questions directly via WhatsApp. Everything felt well organised, reliable and very personal.
Our guide Hamadi was outstanding. His knowledge of the animals, their behaviour and the national parks was excellent, and he was clearly very well connected with other guides and lodge staff, which helped us make the most of every day. At the same time, he always showed great respect for the wildlife and nature.
What we loved most was that the safari never felt like a standard package. Hamadi adapted the days to our interests and created a genuinely tailored experience across Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The accommodation, logistics and overall service were excellent, and we felt the trip offered very good value for money. For us it was a 10/10 honeymoon experience, and we would happily recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Perfect
Great overall experience with Axis!
Special thanks to Peter who prepared our itinerary and did his best to accomodate all our requests (even the special ones) and to Roja and Richard, our guides. Roja made sure we were always the first on the scene in Masai Mara, while Richard took care of us in the second part of the trip and managed to complete successfully our Big 5 "hunt".
Very recommended!

An Exceptional Kenya Safari Experience with Kyla Wild Adventures
We had an unforgettable Kenya safari with Kyla Wild Adventures from 20–28 August 2026, visiting Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park. From the beginning, communication was professional, clear and reliable, and the entire trip was very well organized.
The safari itself was incredible, with amazing wildlife experiences and beautiful scenery at every destination. Each park offered something different, from the spectacular wildlife of the Maasai Mara to the landscapes of Amboseli and the unique experiences around Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive throughout the journey. We always felt well taken care of, and the team made sure the experience was comfortable, enjoyable and memorable. The itinerary was well planned, and we appreciated the professionalism and reliability of Kyla Wild Adventures.
Overall, this was an excellent safari and great value for money. We highly recommend Kyla Wild Adventures to anyone planning a Kenya safari. We would happily travel with them again!

We came back. After TWO weeks. And to be honest… that says everything🦁❤️
After our first safari with Lion’s King Adventure, we left for Zanzibar and were genuinely so sad to say goodbye. If you haven’t read our first review yet, we already wrote about our first five-day adventure with Lion’s King, because honestly, that trip deserves its own story too ️ We had such an incredible time that, while sitting in Zanzibar thinking about the rest of our Tanzania trip, we suddenly thought: Wait… why don’t we go back to the Serengeti?
It was migration season. Northern Serengeti. River crossings. We still had four days unplanned. And somehow, that felt like a sign.
The only question was the budget. But then we decided: it’s worth every single cent.
There was just one thing we really wanted to make sure of before booking: Fredrick had to be available. Not because we don’t trust the amazing Lion’s King team or think someone else couldn’t give us a fantastic safari but after our first trip, Fredrick had become much more than our guide. He had become our friend. And honestly, if he hadn’t been free, we probably would have stayed in Zanzibar ️
So we secretly contacted Rebecca again, “Please don’t tell Fredrick!” explained what we could do budget-wise, made sure Freddie could join us, and somehow, once again, she made the impossible possible. In an insanely short amount of time, she created a plan that worked for us. Thank you, dada
And then came the reunion.
Fredrick had driven 11 hours from Arusha to Northern Serengeti to pick us up at the airport. When he saw us, he was genuinely in shock: “WHAT?! You came back after TWO WEEKS?!” He was kinda speechless for a while
Apparently, we were the first Lion’s King guests ever to come back after just two weeks. And honestly, we’re kind of proud of that ️
And then Northern Serengeti basically said: Welcome back.
Within our first three hours, we saw three river crossings including a crocodiles taking down a wildebeest. The next morning: two more crossings. Lions. Elephants. Leopard. Wildlife everywhere.
And then, on day three, the ultimate plot twist: three cheetahs hunting and taking down a wildebeest right in front of us.
Insane. Unreal. Unforgettable.
We know nature is never guaranteed. Migration, crossings, hunts: you need timing, patience, luck and, most importantly, respect for the animals. We feel incredibly lucky and deeply grateful for everything we witnessed. Having been in South Africa for four Safaris, Tanzania Serengeti is a very unique place. We even crossed the boarder to Kenya and saw elephant boarder crossing
But once again, the Lion’s King team made the experience what it was.
Rebecca, for somehow making our crazy last-minute idea happen again.
Nickson, for making everything smooth behind the scenes.
And Freddie… what can we even say anymore?
At this point, hanging out with Fredrick doesn’t even feel like having a guide. It feels like spending time with a friend. The safari just happens around us. More stories, more music, more DJ moments, more Swahili lessons, more inside jokes and somehow, another four days that we never wanted to end.
When Freddie dropped us off, we were literally standing there crying, waving goodbye. One of the guides saw us, looked at us and said:
“Oh no… this is the end of a really good story.”
We were nodding through the tears. But honestly? I don’t think it’s the end of a good story. I think it’s the beginning ️
And James…
We already heard about the new permanent Nyota opening in Northern Serengeti around September next year. Just saying: we would have stayed there this year if it existed already. So we’re officially putting our invitation request in advance
James, consider this your very subtle reminder. We’ll be ready ️
Lion’s King Adventure: thank you, again, for giving us something we never expected: not just another safari, but another chapter with people who genuinely feel like friends.
We left Northern Serengeti in tears.
We left Tanzania with full hearts.
And we’re already saying:
See you later. ️
Asante sana, Lion’s King team.
Until next time tutaonana padai
