Honeymoon Dream Safari
We chose Lion King Safari for our two-week honeymoon in Tanzania.
From the very beginning, we felt completely taken care of. The team at Lion King gave us excellent advice, listened carefully to our personal wishes, and designed an itinerary that fit us perfectly. Throughout the entire trip, their communication was fast, warm, and reliable — we always felt supported and well looked after.
The lodges and hotels they selected were absolutely beautiful, each with its own charm and wonderful service. Our safari guide, Suleiman, was fantastic: incredibly kind, a truly skilled driver, and extremely knowledgeable. He showed us so many animals and taught us a lot about wildlife and nature in Tanzania. Thanks to him, every game drive felt special and memorable.
The food throughout the two weeks was also consistently very good — another highlight of the experience.
We are super happy and will remember our amazing honeymoon for a long, long time. Thank you so much, Lion King Safari, for making our trip unforgettable!

A Fabulous Adventure
We did the 15 day tour from Harare to Maun. All three are all in our late sixties and my wife uses a wheelchair. We had the time of our lives. We were pleased we did the Zimbabwe section of the trip. It was our favourite country with the happy smiling people.
This is a fabulous and varied adventure. Simon and attend looked after us so well and made sure everything was good for us. Simons help with the wheelchair was brilliant particularly around the falls.
All of our accommodation was top rate, sometimes luxurious, sometimes truly amazing and the food always good. There were so many highlights it's hard to mention anything in particular.
All of the activities were well organised and we saw so many animals it was unbelievable. The pace of the trip is quite busy involving early starts to make the best safari viewing, so if you are getting on a bit like us, you can always plan an extra rest day somewhere. We did make a couple of changes to the trip in advance. Thanks to the very helpful people in the office for organising this.
Our transport was very comfortable and Simon stayed with us for the whole trip, always listening and willing to help.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Cuckoo Safaris. Great trip, friendly people and superb value for money.

Amazing experience!!!
I have used Peafowl Tours twice now and I have had an amazing time every single time. My last trip was to Maasai Mara and Jane organized everything from transportation to accommodation and made everything so smooth and easy for us. Also our guide Moses knew his stuff and made the safari experience one of a kind. Thanks Peafowl and team for the amazing experience!

A reliably organized, knowledgeable and cheerful safari operator delivering outstanding experience!
Our safari with Madini was exceptional from start to finish. The entire tour was perfectly organized, and he answered all our questions with ease—often adding fascinating explanations about the animals and their behavior. His cheerful manner, calm approach, and reliability made the journey especially enjoyable. The daily schedule was always well coordinated, and we arrived relaxed and on time at every accommodation.
We’ve been on several safaris before, but Madini was by far the best guide we’ve ever had. An outstanding recommendation!

Very efficient and organized. Lydia provides great communication.
I loved the safari. Lydia was the person I communicated with from the beginning. She was always available for any questions I had prior to safari, and checking up on me during and after safari. All tour operator there work together to fill up the seats and I think it's all well organized. Camps were better than expected and even food considering it's far so it's not easy to supply. There was hot water, but not for everyone as expected. Our guide and driver David and chef Richard were amazing as well. Highly recommended.

What an amazing Experience to last in my memory for the rest of my life
From start to end our tour was organised really well. We were collected on arrival in Arusha by Charles and taken to our first hotel. From then on in Tanzania we were looked after by Haruni. Our safari experience was just magical, Haruni made sure we were comfortable and saw everything on our bucket list including the big 5. One thing which was lovely was the warm lunches everyday as opposed to the lunch boxes other tours seemed to have, it was great having a hot lunch with pasta or rice everyday after being out all morning. The communication while arranging the trip was spot on and even when we got to Zanzibar the office made sure our transfers were all arranged. There were lots of tour companies to choose from so we were really pleased we had chosen Lion King as they were ethical and the guide was really knowledgeable.

Review for James – Safari Driver
James was an exceptional driver. In the chaotic driving conditions of Kenya, he remained professional, calm, and extremely careful. Throughout the safari, he was actively spotting animals for us—far more than I ever expected, and honestly even more than what I’d seen in all the YouTube videos I had watched beforehand.
He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience exciting and unforgettable. I would recommend James to anyone, and I will definitely be telling my friends to book with him as well.

Kudos and THANK YOU to the Professional Safaris Team
Review for Faraji – Safari Guide Extraordinaire from Professional Safari Africa
It’s hard to put this experience into words, but one thing is absolutely clear: Faraji was the cornerstone of our entire safari. His professionalism, expertise, and commitment went far beyond what we expected, and he is truly an asset any company would be fortunate to have full-time.
From the moment we met him, Faraji demonstrated exceptional diligence and an unwavering determination to make our safari meaningful. He listened carefully to what mattered most to us—especially my friend’s wish to see lions—and he worked tirelessly until he delivered. Thanks to his persistence and deep knowledge of animal behavior, we witnessed one of the most extraordinary moments of my life: a lioness bravely protecting her cubs from a herd of buffalo. It was unforgettable, and it would not have happened without Faraji’s skill and intuition.
What truly sets him apart is the combination of expertise and spirit he brings to his work. Faraji is incredibly well-educated about the wildlife, ecological dynamics, and historical context of the region. He understands not only where animals can be found, but why—and he shares that insight with enthusiasm and clarity. His passion for guiding is undeniable, and his positive energy made every moment more enjoyable.
As someone who has been on multiple safaris—and who works professionally as a travel agent and project manager—I can confidently say that this was the best guided experience I have ever had. I have high expectations and an eye for detail, and Faraji exceeded every one of them. He is an extraordinarily safe driver, an excellent communicator, and someone who clearly puts his guests’ experience first.
For my 50th birthday, Faraji went above and beyond in a way I will never forget. His knowledge, customer service, safety standards, and genuine good energy are unmatched. I would strongly encourage anyone booking a safari to request him by name—he is truly one of the finest guides I have ever encountered.
Thank you, Faraji, for giving us an experience that will stay with us for the rest of our lives. You are exceptional at what you do, and any company would be incredibly fortunate to have you on their team.
Extra special thanks to Jesca, who handled all logistics leading up to our trip. She was consistently responsive, patient, and attentive to my many detailed requests, making the planning process seamless.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania you will love the Professional Safari Africa team! From start to finish....... THEY WERE AMAZING!
