Lion King Did a Great Job!
Lion King did a great job with our safari for our honeymoon! They were able to meet all of our planning needs and helped us make changes as problems popped up with our flights. They were super responsive to questions during the planning phase and sent us off with a clear set of guidelines on what to expect. The accommodations they booked for us were great and they were able to get the hotels to add sweet, little touches for our honeymoon (including the custom wine labels in the jeep). The jeep was well kept and as comfortable for the ride as possible given the state of the roads.
The best part of our safari though was our guide Suleiman. He was a rockstar. We were so fortunate to have gotten him for 5 days. He set expectations for each day on what to expect/travel logistics, communicated clearly, was extremely knowledgable about the area/animals, knew all the other guides, and was just an overall great dude. He was able to show us all of the animals we wanted to see multiple times across Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti. Definitely request him if you're booking with Lion King Adventures.

Amazing Safari, Incredible Wildlife, and the Best Guide!
We booked a safari with Suricata Safaris in July 2026, and it was absolutely amazing—truly one of the best trips we have ever taken! Our guide, Ecky, made the experience even more memorable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and had the best personality. We laughed so much throughout the trip, and Ecky was a huge part of what made it so special.
There were 11 people in our group, and Suricata provided two jeeps. We were fortunate enough to have Ecky as our guide. Ennis, who drove the other jeep, was wonderful as well. We didn’t spend as much time with him, but he was very friendly, helpful, and accommodating.
All of our accommodations were wonderful. The only small issue was that the beds were a little firm for our liking. However, that certainly would not stop me from booking with Suricata again. I would simply bring a mattress topper to make the beds a little softer.
We saw the Big Five and experienced so much of the Serengeti. We booked a seven-day safari, but looking back, I wish we had booked a longer trip. Seven days went by far too quickly, and we didn’t have enough time to fully enjoy some of the beautiful lodges and everything they had to offer. If you have the time, I would definitely recommend booking longer than seven days.
One of the absolute highlights of our trip was taking a hot-air balloon ride over the Serengeti. It was probably one of my favorite excursions I have ever done—and I have traveled to more than 30 countries! The balloon stayed at a relatively low altitude, which gave us incredible views of the animals and the landscape below. After the flight, we were treated to a wonderful breakfast. It was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end.
A few people in our group also did a 10-mile hike near Mount Kilimanjaro. The scenery was beautiful, but we made the mistake of doing it the day after arriving. It involved a long drive from Arusha to Kilimanjaro, the hike itself, and then another long drive to our lodge near the Serengeti. It made for an extremely long and exhausting day. If seeing Mount Kilimanjaro is part of your plans, I would strongly recommend arriving a couple of days earlier so you have more time to relax and adjust before doing the hike.
Overall, I highly recommend booking the luxury safari through Suricata Safaris. The entire experience was incredible, and I would absolutely book with them again. And if you’re lucky enough to get Ecky as your guide, you’re in for an amazing time filled with incredible wildlife, unforgettable experiences, and plenty of laughter!

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Oussama
The Masai Mara was the highlight of our safari in Kenya. The wildlife viewing was incredible, the vast open landscapes were breathtaking and the whole experience felt like a true African safari. Every game drive was exciting and offered something different. The combination of wildlife, scenery and atmosphere made it an unforgettable experience and a destination I would definitely visit again

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Oussama
Lake Nakuru was a very enjoyable safari experience. The landscapes around the lake are beautiful and the park offers a good variety of wildlife in a relatively compact area. It was a great place to enjoy nature, take photos and experience a different atmosphere from the Masai Mara. Definitely worth visiting as part of a Kenya safar

A good mixture between modern and tradition. Depends of course where you are
We travelled as a couple and made a mixture between tour operator for Serengeti tour and self organized. We had a rented car for 11 days, this was perfect, sometimes challenging, but we enjoyed the freedom. Trafic was not as bad as expected and also police controls were easy.
I was a little worried about to much traffic Jam in Serengeti and Ngorogoro during high season. All over all it was full but not that bad. At the entrence everyone is together but after a while all cars go different directions and you can also enjoy the fantastic landscape alone.
But I heared that in July 2026 there were less tourists than expected.
All accomodations we had during our stay were fantastic. I don´t need it fancy but I must say all places had great atmosphere and great food.
I must say, the people in Tanzania are very very friendly!!!
But we also left the normal touristy paths and there is always a difference how people react to you as an obvious tourist
