Perfect communication and budget-friendly service by Kiliclimb.
We chose Kiliclimb because of many positive reviews from Korean travelers, and we were truly satisfied. Communication via WhatsApp was very fast, and every step—from the pre-safari briefing to the driver matching, guide, and camp accommodations—was excellent. We especially appreciate their efforts to work within our budget.
Our guide was Melk, who has a very warm personality and is a total "MacGyver". He fixed both a minor issue with the vehicle and even our Crocs! 😊 Most importantly, thanks to Melk's "Good Eyes" and amazing spotting skills, we were able to see all of the Big 5! It was an incredible experience.
A few tips for future travelers:
• Duration: We thought 3 nights and 4 days would be enough, but it felt shorter than expected.
• Planning: We visited in February (calving season) and stayed in South Serengeti. While we saw the Big 5, we mostly saw lions and leopards resting. Still, seeing them at all was better than not!
• Location: We realized after the trip that South Serengeti is actually part of Ngorongoro. If we go again, we would definitely visit the Central and Northern areas.
• Advice: Don't just plan based on the season (like going only to the South); it's much better to consult with the Safari Director or guide to set your itinerary.
Melk recommended visiting the North and Central Serengeti from July to September, so we are already dreaming of our next trip. Thank you, Kiliclimb!

Veterans in the business 🔥
Just back from an epic Maasai Mara Safari with Caxstone our guide, and I'm still buzzing! 😍 He was top-notch and spotted every animal of the BIG 5.
James planned out our itinerary with perfect planning and we had a lovely time around Kenya with Sunnycreek safaris!
The accommodations were luxe and comfy, and the food was good. Can't wait to plan the next adventure with these two.
I highly recommend them if you're planning your next trip to Kenya!

I’m very happy having a good tour guide Saleamlak, he is nice and knowledgeable.
During the holiday seasons,we encountered some non-human-caused problems, but the tour guide resolved them promptly, allowing us to complete the trip smoothly.

"Safari Squad: Umoja Family Adventures"
We had an excellent Safari Trip in Tansania with Kilimanjaro Umoja tours . We visited Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Swaleh showed us the best spots for seeing animals and gave us lots of detailed information about the animals, nature and culture. He always found the best angle or position to get a good photo without disturbing the animals or destroying nature. Guiding, accomodations and service were excellent. I can highly recommend this Safari Tour provider.

Went off without a hitch!
Our family are unanimous that this was the best. trip. ever.
Perhaps some was luck (low season, great weather), but the rest was Lion King and the perfect coordination at every step, good communication, perfect vehicle, lovely guide, incredible hotels, warm food every meal...
We had our own vehicle for 5 of us that was stocked with drinks and juices and sometimes snacks. It was cleaned every day and so homey! We spent 24 hours with just our family for over a week, unplugged, relaxed and happy.
Lion King was much (much) less expensive than using a U.S. company who then subcontracts to them and then takes the excess. Go directly to Lion King and trust that they'll get it all right, that's my advice.
We opted in for hiking Kilimanjaro for a day, which was perhaps the only thing that could have been improved by having a hotel that was closer to Moshi rather than in Arusha. And it was a longer and less interesting hike than we expected, but good exercise after the long flight.
The rest of the parks were wonderful, each different than the other. Our guide, Gilbert, was soft-spoken and very sweet, responsive, patient and thoughtful.

Exceeds every expectation, beyond amazing.
Pamoja Tours exceeded expectations in every possible way. Regina was absolutely phenomenal in helping me organize our dream safari. We booked well in advance, and I must have sent Regina 40 emails leading up to our trip. She answered every one of them promptly, often within a couple of hours, and gave wonderfully detailed answers to every question I had. She went above and beyond to accommodate our every request. Words cannot express how great a job she did. I booked a private safari to Uganda for three people for two weeks and was able to customize every single day to ensure we were doing what we wanted and staying where we wanted.
Upon arrival at the airport, we were greeted by our guide, Amos, and although it sounds cliché, he quite honestly became a friend during our stay. The next time I go back to Africa, I will send Amos a message first to ensure he is free on the dates we want to travel before booking with Pamoja Tours. He, too, exceeded all expectations. His knowledge and passion for the wildlife you will encounter on a safari are unmatched. His spotting skills are ridiculously good, and he makes you feel welcome and part of the family from day one. But best of all, it is his passion and love for nature that is simply contagious, and his stamina is unbelievable. He was constantly offering to go just a little bit further because another great spot was up ahead. At no point did we ever feel rushed or short on time. We only went back to the lodge when we had requested because Amos was always keen to see more wildlife.
Our two weeks in Uganda were like nothing else. We saw every animal we went there to see, from Gorillas to Shoebills to Hyenas, Leopards, Lions, Chimps, Elephants, Giraffes, breathtaking waterfalls and more. Basically, you name it, we saw it.
I cannot recommend Pamoja Tours enough. Regina will be with you every step of the way, ensuring your vacation is exactly how you want it. Once you arrive, I promise you will have the time of your life. Uganda is a beautiful country, the parks are not crowded, and the people are beyond friendly. 10/10 recommend. Just writing this review is already making me think about booking another trip. We came away with nothing but fond memories.

An ideal safari
We were picked up on time every time and the schedule was always respected.
Our first guide, Harun, for the Nairobi tour was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
Our second guide, Marcus, for the Masaï Maraband lake Naïvasha tour was simply perfect !
He enabled us to see many animals, especially a magnificent leopard and its prey, driving us gently and safely all the time.
He adapted his itinerary to our preferences. And he taught us so much about Kenya.
We felt almost like family.
Axis Africa Expédition & Safaris provided us with a fantastic experience : excellent communication, impeccable service and very good value for money.
Spécial thanks to Cynthia for managing the customised trip by mail and phone, and to Marcus, our safari guide, who exceeded our expectations.

Approachable, with a lot of experience, he helps you get to the essence of Kenya
We spent several days on a completely personalized and private safari. Sammy picked us up at Nairobi airport, and from there we went to Amboseli, then to Naivasha and Nakuro, finally ending up in the Masai Mara, from where he took us back to the airport. We don't speak English or Swahili, but he was always there for us, both on excursions and at our accommodations, always ready to help and make our stay more enjoyable. It was a spectacular trip. Kenyans are generally very friendly people, and when you combine that with Sammy's extensive professional experience, his perfect command of Spanish, and Kenya's breathtaking beauty, you have a dream trip. A trip isn't just about the place, but also about the people who make you enjoy your stay and allow you to focus solely on appreciating the beauty of nature.

best tour operator in the world
We had an amazing 7-day safari in Tanzania with Unique World Destination, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Lake Manyara, and each destination was unique and breathtaking. Everything was well organized from start to finish, and we felt well taken care of throughout the trip.
Our guide, Benjamin, was excellent—very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He explained everything clearly, had great wildlife-spotting skills, and made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The team hosted us very well, and their hospitality made the trip even more special.
We truly enjoyed our safari and highly recommend Unique World Destination to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Quality of service and attention
I had an excellent experience with Wagatil Safari and I can only say great things! From the very beginning, the service was impeccable. The car was extremely comfortable, which made a big difference during the drives, and the hotel selection was great, well above expectations.
I would especially like to highlight our guide, Rowland, who was absolutely amazing. The real standout of Wagatil Safari is, without a doubt, the very close, attentive, and caring service, which makes you feel safe and well looked after at all times. You can truly see that they care about the client’s experience, not just about following an itinerary.
I highly recommend them and would definitely travel with them again!
