A Five Star Safari That Exceeded Every Expectations
Our group of five had an absolutely exceptional 8-day experience with Lion King Safari in Tanzania, truly a trip we will never forget.
From the very beginning, the team was incredibly accommodating and worked closely with us to craft the perfect itinerary. We never felt like just another booking; our preferences genuinely mattered, and that made a huge difference in the overall experience.
Our guide, Enock, was outstanding, easily one of the best guides we could have hoped for. His knowledge was incredibly deep and well rounded. Whether it was wildlife behavior, local culture, or the surrounding landscapes, he had thoughtful, detailed answers to every question we threw his way. You could tell he is not only experienced, but truly passionate and well researched in what he does.
What made the experience even more special is that Enock was not just our guide, he truly became part of our group. By the end of the trip, it felt like we were traveling with a friend. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye, which says everything about the kind of person and professional he is.
Thanks to Enock, we were always in the right place at the right time. He consistently positioned us perfectly for wildlife sightings, allowing us to see everything we hoped for and more, including the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and even what felt like the Big Nine. Every game drive felt intentional and expertly executed. At one point, we even had lunch near a leopard that Enock knew well. He shared the history of her and her family over the past five years, which made the experience even more meaningful. We also witnessed a live kill by a lion pride, an unforgettable, once in a lifetime moment.
Beyond the wildlife, the entire experience was rich and immersive. The landscapes were breathtaking, the food was consistently delicious, and the cultural experiences added another meaningful layer to the trip. The coffee tour, in particular, was one of our favorite highlights, authentic, engaging, and memorable.
This was more than just a safari, it was a thoughtfully curated, seamless, and deeply rewarding experience from start to finish.
We highly recommend Lion King Safari to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania, and if you have the opportunity, request Enock as your guide. He will elevate your experience in every way possible.

Great communication
We had a great time. It was our first time in Africa and believe me when I say that it won’t be our last. We had a great experience watching the animals in their natural habitat. It can’t get better than that. Don’t just watch discovery channel and go see them yourself.

She is caring, enthusiastic, helpful, knowledgeable, reliable and trustworthy. Great to work with.
Tour was well planned. Detail was given and we felt relaxed.
On arrival at Kasane Airport our driver welcomed us and took us to the Elephant Valley lodge where we were welcomed by the friendly and well-trained local staff.
The accommodation in a bedroom tent with own bathroom was a first for us but nevertheless quite acceptable and comfortable.
The bird guide/driver allocated to us was very well informed and helpful and took great care to keep us happy. We were happy with the number of birds we saw.
The outside lounge and dining area of the lodge under huge trees add greatly to the special atmosphere as birds and wildlife can be seen at the waterhole.
Evening meals by lantern and a boma fire add to a great experience.
Meals were well prepared and very tasty. Once again well- trained and friendly staff are a pleasure.
Breakfast and lunch were great as well.
We can recommend our travel operator for organizing this special vacation for us as she understood what we were hoping for.

Flexible, friendly, and all the animals you could wish for.
Communication was excellent and the Axis were very flexible (I was communicating with Peter via WhatsApp) - I wanted to change the number of days of the safari (from four to three) at the last minute (the day before! on a Sunday!), and and they were kind enough to accept it, and charge only the cost for the three days. I really appreciated it.
We went with Kalifa who was an excellent guide, somewhat brusque, friendly, and answered all our questions - and most importantly, knew where to find all the animals! Of course it's always a bit of luck with seeing animals, especially rhinos and leopards, but it was a shock how easy it was overall with Kalifa! I'd especially recommend him for photographers, as he was very diligent about getting all the angles you wanted, and checked in to make sure it was working for us.
Overall, a great experience, everything I hoped for from a safari.

Obote and beyond
Our 4-day safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro was nothing short of extraordinary. Every day brought new highlights, from stunning landscapes to unforgettable wildlife encounters, all perfectly arranged so we could simply enjoy the experience to the fullest.
We were incredibly lucky to have Fadhili as our driver and guide. His expertise, dedication, and ability to find animals made a huge difference to our trip. He has an impressive knowledge of the parks and wildlife, and he shared it in such an engaging and genuine way that made every moment even more special.
One of the highlights of our journey was the thoughtful celebration Fadhili organized for my 40th birthday. It was such a kind and unexpected gesture that added a personal and unforgettable touch to our safari. It’s clear that he truly cares about creating meaningful experiences for his guests.
Fadhili’s calm presence, kindness, and professionalism made us feel comfortable and well taken care of at all times. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
We highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic, well-organized, and truly special experience. It’s a trip we will remember forever.

Offering meaningful, human-centered experiences that go far beyond traditional tourism
I came to Kenya with the intention of discovering it slowly and differently from what mass tourism usually offers.
Brigit (the owner) didn’t just listen to my needs… she warmly welcomed me into a country full of beautiful discoveries. She was proactive in organizing a day filled with activities perfectly aligned with what I was looking for.
I had the chance to observe the earth’s fissures in the middle of nature, visit an organic tea farm with a breathtaking sensory garden, explore a traditional market with purely local products, and enjoy lunch at a restaurant serving local specialties adapted for vegetarians.
All of this while she shared her deep knowledge of Kenyan culture and traditions with me. I even learned a bit of Swahili 😊
Eco-Path Adventures is not a typical tour operator… it is truly a person who puts her whole heart into creating meaningful connections and passionately sharing the richness of this beautiful country.
If you are looking to travel with intention and meaning, don’t hesitate. I recommend Eco-Path Adventures 1000%. This experience made me feel deeply connected to the country, its people, and its culture in a way I had never experienced before.

Excellent
Our 10-day trip to Kenya and Tanzania was absolutely unforgettable! A huge part of this amazing experience was thanks to Michuki, our agent, who was attentive from the moment my sister and I booked until we returned home. He solved every minor issue immediately. Also, our guide in the Maasai Mara, Newton, was outstanding! His knowledge and expertise made our safari even more special. If you book with Super Eagles Tours, definitely ask for Michuki as your agent and Newton as your guide. I will without a doubt book my next African adventure through them!

Great safari experience
Nkollo was a very easy company to work with. They were responsive, easy to communicate with, flexible with the itinerary, and reliable. Emmanuel was our guide and he was absolutely great. He was a good driver, was knowledgeable about the animals and the parks, always on time, and easy to get along with. We highly recommend him as a safari guide.
