Wonderful full day Addis Ababa city tour ❤️
I took a city tour with Reta to see different traditional highlights of Addis - a cafe, the Shola old market, a sceneary spot under the new Prime Minister’s manson hill, the Ethnological museum at the University of Addis, and a tasty late lunch at the amazing Addis Ababa old restaurant - loved it throughout; happy to pass my warm recommendation of Reta’s 👌🏻 service and spirit! 🌞❤️

I experienced incompetence and misinformation.
Entirely unprofessional. Avoid the headache! There are dozens of other options… use ANY of them. You will not be communicated with except to apologize for the multitude of ‘mistakes’ in the itinerary. In other words, they will lie to you about the itinerary, do nothing about it, keep your money, and then call it a mistake. Incredibly frustrating! I advice you avoid this company.

5 star experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our family of five adults recently returned from an unforgettable eight-day safari with Lion King Adventures. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Every interaction—from the highly responsive office team to Simon, who handled our airport transfers—was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. We felt completely cared for at every stage.
The true standout was our guide, Leonard. I hadn’t realized how much a guide defines the safari experience until we met him. His deep knowledge of wildlife, paired with his patience and infectious enthusiasm, made each day memorable. Thanks to Leonard’s sharp eye and persistence, we even managed to spot the entire Big Five in a single day to cap off our trip. We recommend Lion King Adventures, and specifically Leonard, without hesitation.

The tour was amazing and very well organized
We booked a tour to Mikumi with Big Mama Safari Adventures. The tour operator responded immediately, despite the fact it was beyond the working hours, which is highly appreciated. The tour itself was very well organized. We enjoyed the tour and highly recommend to choose Big Mama Safari Adventures.

Professional
I had a great time with Manka Safaris.
Everything was thoughtfully and well planned. They were good at communicating before, during and after the visit so there were no questions of doubt. The Safari speaks for itself, absolutely amazing (we were blown away by the amount of wildlife that we were able to interact with). Camping set-up was absolutely great, tents in the middle of the national parks with wildlife all around us. AND, we had the best tour guides in our car for our 4 day long safari, so kind and ackommodating!

Excellent safari company with wonderful service!
I cannot recommend this safari operator highly enough. From start to finish, their communication was clear, timely and very helpful—they answered all my questions patiently and made the whole planning process easy and stress-free. The service was excellent and truly thoughtful; the team was polite, reliable and always ready to assist, offering great value for money with a well‑organized and smooth tour.
Our guide Michael was absolutely outstanding. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and incredibly kind. He worked so hard to find wildlife for us, staying energetic and focused throughout the safari, and we saw so many amazing animals thanks to his sharp eyes and great experience. He was always thoughtful and helpful, carrying our luggage, taking care of small details and solving any issues calmly and efficiently.
During our trip, we unexpectedly encountered flooding on the road. Instead of panicking, Michael stayed completely calm, thought carefully and quickly found an alternative route, ensuring our safety and keeping the journey on track without any trouble. His experience, calmness and professionalism made us feel secure and well cared for the entire time.
This was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. Every part of the tour was well‑arranged, the service was warm and reliable, and Michael made the safari unforgettable. I truly appreciate their excellent work and will absolutely recommend them to anyone planning an African safari.

With unparalleled professionalism, meticulous attention to detail, and a commitment to safety above all else, this operator has defined high standards
This nine-day trip to Kenya and Tanzania was undoubtedly the most satisfying and reassuring travel experience I've had in all my years of travel. I must give a full score to our two guides and their company!
What moved us most was their professionalism and composure in the face of unexpected situations. Twice during the trip, we encountered sudden floods, roads were washed away, and our itinerary was temporarily disrupted. While everyone else was in a state of panic, our two guides demonstrated exceptional emergency response capabilities. They remained calm and composed, immediately assessing the road conditions, coordinating alternative routes, and prioritizing our safety above all else. Ultimately, they not only avoided serious risks but also preserved the highlights of the trip. This ability to adapt flexibly and their extreme emphasis on safety truly gave us immense peace of mind and trust.
The attention to detail also added to the trip. No matter how tiring or far we traveled each day, the two guides insisted on keeping the vehicle spotless, ensuring a comfortable experience every time we boarded. This dedication and meticulousness are truly rare. The readily available drinks and snacks in the vehicle, along with the thoughtful and considerate meal arrangements for each safari trip, meant we didn't have to worry about anything and could simply enjoy the journey.
The biggest surprise was that, under the professional guidance of our two guides, we successfully encountered the Big Five! Every spotting was precise and on point, and they patiently explained the animals' habits and habitat ecology, allowing us not only to "see the animals" but also to truly "understand them," resulting in a safari experience far exceeding our expectations.
We sincerely thank our two guides, especially Michael, who led us for seven days, for their unwavering companionship and dedication, and also thank the company for their professional arrangements. Such a reliable team and such attentive service make them the top choice for safari trips in Kenya and Tanzania! We look forward to meeting you again in the future and continuing to unlock more wonders of Africa!
