Exceptional safari guide and reliable tour operator
My partner and I visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro national park between Dec 27 and Jan 2 and had the most wonderful experience we could ask for. The team at Lion King was communicative and prompt from the planning stages and throughout the entire trip.
We were picked up from the airport with no issues despite our flight being delayed and were dropped off at a hotel to have breakfast which was where we met up with our safari guide, Charles. I cannot say enough great things about our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and went above and beyond by constantly communicating with other drivers on the radio to locate animals we wanted to see. We saw EVERYTHING including rare sightings such as a leopard grabbing catfish for a snack from a body of water, a pride of 20 or so lion eating at the carcasses of 3 buffalos, and even had a cheetah hop onto the spare tire at the back of our vehicle! He was always aware of where to position the vehicle so you could get great photos, would always be flexible with us whenever we needed a break, and would do his best to time our lunches before the crowds to ensure we had a place to sit and eat. He also knows the roads very well so if there is a sighting he WILL get you there. This is my second safari and I can't emphasize enough how big a difference a great safari guide can have on your experience. I highly recommend him to anyone going on safari.
On the last day when we were dropped off at our hotel, there was a huge backlog of people trying to check into the hotel with several people waiting hours to get checked-in but after contacting Maria/Naurey, they promptly called the hotel and ensured us the hotel staff would look after us. Soon after, we received our room keys.
Overall, I had a great experience with Lion King and would safari with them again in the future.

Kenya–Tanzania Safari: Privacy, Perfection & Once-in-a-Lifetime Moments
The most luxurious and unforgettable safari of my life took place in the 12-day private Kenya-Tanzania tour of Seven Wonders Safaris! We went as a couple and it was just the two of us and our guide the whole time. We enjoyed ourselves without any group problems.
First, I went to Masai Mara in Kenya for 4 days - the season of the Mara River Crossing, thousands of wildebeest and zebra jumps could not be turned away. Our guide Daniel was amazing - 22 years of experience, understanding the behavior of each animal in advance and putting the car in the right place. I've seen a leopard come down from a tree, caught all of the Big Five, and even demonstrated serval cat and aardvark in a night game drive. The accommodation was & Beyond Bateleur Camp - private plunge pool in each tent, hot water in the bathtub to watch the sunset - like a dream.
Then 4 days to Serengeti in Tanzania. I went up to the Four Seasons Safari Lodge - elephants and giraffes could be seen from the balcony of the lodge. This time the guide was Emmanuel – I was impressed by his knowledge and smile. One morning I did hot air balloon safari, I wanted to cry looking at the endless plains from above. At the end of 2 days at Ngorongoro Crater - The Manor at Ngorongoro - those cottages are like an English manor house, a story about eating wine by the fire.
Both cars were new extended Land Cruisers – always cold water and beer in the fridge, charging points, big roof. The food was crazy – bush breakfast, sundowner cocktails, private dinners under the stars. They checked in on WhatsApp from the office every day. The price was a bit high, but nothing compared to what I got. For those who want true luxury and privacy, you can't think of anything else but this package.

An unforgettable family experience!
We had an absolutely amazing family safari experience in the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was perfectly organized, and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, which was a truly magical moment for both adults and children. A huge thank you to John, whose communication was always clear, reassuring, and professional. He was always available and very attentive to our needs, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We leave with incredible memories and highly recommend this adventure!

Friendly
We had a different tour but it was cancelled. Then we found this one and from the very beginning they were really friendly and helpful. We had a 24/7 communication and everything was arranged very smooth. I want to thank 1: Transfer drivers (Meshack & Juhudi)
2: Guide in the park (Saloniki).
3: Accompany to the train station (Mercy).

Excellent guides and tour organisers
Safari Africa United organised a fantastic tour for or family of 11 members. Camps and overnight stays were carefully selected and our cheerful guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. They adapted also very well to our wishes and could tell us a lot about African wildlife, nature and society. We definitely recommend their team.

10/10 safari with a 10/10 guide
We had a fantastic experience with Axis safaris, from the start they were great with communication and catering to all our needs. Everything went smooth from start to finish. We spent 2 nights at Jambo Mara in Masai Mara, 1 night at Lake Nakuru lodge and 1 night at Lake Naivasha Sopa lodge.
Our safari guide Sir Charles was absolutely amazing, he was everything we had hoped for as a guide and made our 5 day safari perfect. We saw the big 5 and had many close encounters with animals and many laughs along the way. I would highly recommend Axis safaris and especially Sir Charles if you’re lucky enough to get him as your guide.

Wonderful experience and Fantastic service
It was so wonderful that words can't describe it! Excellent service, fantastic preparation and planning, and the experience with them was spectacular! Even though it was my first solo trip to Tanzania, I was so surprised and amazed that I'll definitely be back and will book with them again. Thank you so much, Yahya and Cidy!

Fantastic safaris guided by Kush!
Jungleroam provided me the best offer, combining all the national parcs we wanted to visit, basic accommodations (which were actually better than I expected), and attractive price. Our guide & driver Kush was really good, I couldn’t imagine better! Very very knowledgeable in wildlife and Kenyan history, he was very engaged in finding all the animals we wanted to observe. He also used his network and brought us to observe the famous Craig, elephant having the longest tusks in the world (he sadly passed away the day after our visit).
