Incredible experience
It was an amazing experience for us and we are very happy that we booked with Lion King. Reliable, experienced and quick in their answers during booking process. And we had a wonderful guide Murshid. Very experienced and good knowledge about nature and wildlife. We loved the fact that he was very respectful towards nature. Due to his experience we had an incredible safari with lots of luck!

Exceptional and tailored
I did a 3-day by budget Serengeti + Ngorongoro safari starting from Arusha on August 16th with Felix (our guide).
The tour operator was exceptional, with professional tour guides, chefs, drivers and dedicated personnel. They were all fluent in English and did their best to accommodate our needs. The homemade meals were delicious and the staff took care of our equipment, tents and everything in between.
Regarding our driver and tour guide, what can I say. Thanks to Felix, we saw all big animals including the rare-to-be-found cheetahs, rhinos and leopards and he managed to find the best spots for videos and photos compared to most vehicles during our game drives. There were 6+ vehicles from the same tour operator around the area, so thanks to their telecommunications we could find all the animals in the area without looking for hours. Felix also provided details and useful wildlife information during our trip, making us more engaged.
This was my 2nd safari and it far exceeded my expectations. I blindly recommend them!

Amazing experience with Amshar Serengeti adventures
I absolutely recommend this experience with this company.
We choose the mid-range safari with domestic flights included (good value for money).
Everything has been great, the overall plan has reflected our needs (accommodation, organisation, availability of staff, safety).
Thanks to our guides (Erick and Louis) who made our experience unforgettable, they had experience and professionalism.
We learned so much about culture and animals, because Erick, our Italian speaker guide, has been always available and informed.
The safari jeep is very comfortable and there was always fresh water, lunch annd other snacks prepared for us.
Due to their experience (and a little bit of luck) we had the possibility to find all the possible animals in Serengeti and Ngorongoro!
Thanks guys!
Grazie di tutto!
Asante sana!

The tour company was very responsive in answering questions, explaining payment methods.
We enjoyed each and every guide we met for transportation, coffee tour and the personal safari guide. Gilbert was very patient and willing to seek out special sightings of leopards, cheetah. He was also responsive to our requests when tired and willing to offer advice. The tour did include long hours on difficult roads which, we learned cannot be helped. The itinerary attempted to break up the more difficult travel. Serengeti National Park is huge, and now we better understand the travel is necessary to see the different sites. We successfully watched the river crossing of Wildebeest, saw the circle of life on display, experienced multiple Lion sightings up close, saw leopard, cheetahs and the black rhino. The favorite was TArangire National park as well as the northern Serengeti region. All of the tour guides were safe drivers and good at minimizing discomfort. The itinerary was quite full. We did find ourselves requesting an earlier return to hotel for a bit of rest in the late afternoons. We saw all we came to see and the experience was over and above expectations! Accommodations were excellent. We enjoyed the organic nature of the food and the gardens offering the food all along the way. They are proud of being Tanzanian! Thank you!

Amazing experience
I had an amazing experience with this tour company in Ethiopia. I first booked a tour of Addis Ababa for myself as a solo traveler, and I felt so safe, comfortable, and well taken care of that I decided to book the same company for my parents as well.
During my time in Addis Ababa, I visited all the main highlights, including the National Museum, Entoto Park, and a wonderful traditional Ethiopian restaurant. The restaurant was a fantastic cultural experience, with live music, singing, and traditional dancing representing different regions and cultures from all over Ethiopia.
I also had the opportunity to take a two-day trip to Wenchi Lake, which was absolutely beautiful and one of the highlights of my trip. The organization was excellent, and I always felt supported and safe throughout the journey.
What I appreciated most was the personalized and thoughtful service. When I needed to go to the immigration office to complete all the necessary paperwork for my passport, they even accompanied me and helped me through the process. This was incredibly helpful and reassuring.
Because my parents don’t speak English, the team also went the extra mile to arrange an Italian-speaking guide for them. This made their experience much easier and more enjoyable, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing they were in good hands.
The guides were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Ethiopia, especially solo travelers or families. They made me feel safe, welcomed, and able to fully enjoy the beauty and culture of Ethiopia. A truly wonderful experience from start to finish!

Excellent
Our Safari experience with Mateo Travel and Adventure was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide, Simon, was really nice and prepared. He showed us all the angles of Amboseli and Tsavo East Parks with an incredible patience and kindness. He did not stick to the original plan only but he helped us with all of our personal requests on the way. The accommodations booked by Mateo reflected exactly those on the program as well as the information described. If we will return to Kenya we will surely contact them for other new experiences. It was all stunning and we thank them for that :)
