Super knowledgeable and passionate about showing the best of Rwanda and Uganda!
If you are even thinking about a primate trekking trip to Rwanda and Uganda, look no further than this one right here (and ask for Elton and Dixon as your guides)! This was, without exaggerating, one of THE most magical travel experiences of my life, and it could be yours too.
My friend and I did a 6-day tour that included chimp and golden monkey trekking in Rwanda and gorilla trekking in Uganda. Elton and Dixon made every single part of this trip feel effortless, safe, and super fun. Before we even got on the plane, they sent over a super detailed day-by-day itinerary, packing list, and tips on trekking etiquette so we knew exactly what to expect. The treks themselves were unforgettable. We saw every animal we hoped to see (and more!). Elton and Dixon’s knowledge of the wildlife and local culture was top tier and I left understanding so much more about the region than I anticipated.
Safety and comfort were never a question. Meals were included and delicious and the lodges we stayed in were honestly stunning – made me question if I even wanted to go trekking when I could just enjoy the view right from my balcony.
This was the ultimate trip with equal parts adventure, comfort, and connection with nature. Our group dynamic with Elton and Dixon was genuinely a blast and you could tell they’re both clearly passionate about what they do. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone planning a trip like this. I’m already thinking about what my next trip with Hooves of Africa will be!

An unforgettable journey, made even more special by the people who made it happen.
We had a wonderful safari experience overall. Leonard was amazing to work with from the very beginning. I contacted several safari companies before booking, and he was always the fastest to respond, but more importantly, he genuinely cared about my questions and concerns. Communication was smooth throughout the entire trip.
Our guide Moody was also fantastic. He has 10 years of experience, and it really showed. We waited almost 2–3 hours for the wildebeest crossing and were starting to think it might not happen. When Moody suddenly drove off, we thought he was giving up too — but instead, he rushed us to exactly the right spot, and the wildebeest started crossing! We asked how he knew, and he simply said, “Instinct.” That moment really showed us how valuable an experienced guide is.
The accommodations and service were very good overall. A few things could be improved, especially the vehicle A/C, Wi-Fi, and the cooler, but these were minor compared with the overall experience. We had an unforgettable safari!

Highly recommend Lion King Adventures for a Tanzania safari!
We had an amazing trip to Tanzania with Lion King Adventures, and it truly exceeded our expectations.
Our guide Geoffrey was outstanding — extremely responsible and dedicated. He worked hard to help us spot the Big Five and many other animals, and we were lucky enough to witness a spectacular river crossing. Geoffrey explained every animal clearly and in detail, which made the experience much more educational and enjoyable. His driving skills were excellent, keeping us safe and comfortable even on rough roads. Thanks to his efforts, we managed to capture some truly beautiful photos.
All the accommodations were well-equipped with reliable water, electricity, and Wi-Fi, which was a big plus. The food was also delicious throughout the trip.
Overall, the itinerary was well-organized, the guide was fantastic, and the whole experience was unforgettable. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania!

Safe and secured
Titanic was very assuring and humourous. Plus, he always ensures our safety, even our luggages. He gets down to check when he feels something is wrong. Very impressed with his service

Amazing Safari Experience with Great Flexibility and Value for Money
We had a 5 day safari with Diana Tanzania Safaris and were absolutely thrilled with the experience! The planning was very flexible and tailored to our wishes. Lake Manyara was originally part of our itinerary, but we wanted to spend an extra day in the Serengeti instead, which was no problem at all. We could also easily discuss different accommodation options and make changes.
Our guide was fantastic: very friendly, an excellent driver and extremely knowledgeable about the animals and national parks. We could ask him anything and saw not only the Big Five, but countless other animals and even many babies.
Our cook also did a great job. Since we were all vegetarian, he was very accommodating and prepared delicious, healthy and varied meals for us every day.
The whole safari was very well organised, the vehicle was comfortable and cold drinks were always available. The value for money was unbeatable in our opinion. We would book with Diana Tanzania Safaris again anytime and can highly recommend them!
