Great curated list of options, better than ones found self-searching
We used Safari.com because they provided a brilliant list of safari options, including the 'just-right' option that balanced budget and luxury for our needs. When we went to book, they ensured the price matched direct and supported with transfers and internal flights making this part of the holiday seamless and stress-free. Our contact, Sara was lovely, helpful, and responsive.

Ben was incredible! He is very knowledgeable and an expert guide.
We had an incredible time! Everything from the beginning to the end of our experience was flawless. From organizing everything with Lucy to actually going on the tour with Ben. We are so sad our safari is over. Ben knew all the spots to take us to and was a fantastic driver. Great value for money and very reliable company. You will not regret!

Excited and Impressive
Joshua is a warm and humorous tour guide with rich experience in safaris. We were able to witness many rare scenes (such as baby cheetahs, lions roaming across the road, rhinos, leopards, and more). I had an absolutely fantastic safari experience!

Great safari memories from king mufasa team
The team did a fantastic job creating a well organized and enjoyable safari. They are very knowledgeable and clearly know where to go to find the best wildlife experiences. Everything was well planned, and the safari exceeded our expectations.
The accommodations were also excellent. We stayed at Escarpment Lodge, which was very comfortable, and spent two nights at Serengeti Classic View ndutu, which was beautiful and relaxing after long game drives. Our guide was Mr lidnev he his a nice and good driver for providing every details about animals in front for us
Overall, it was a perfect safari experience, and we truly had the holiday of a lifetime. I highly recommended lidnev your to be your guide and driver

Great people, Private guide and enclosed Land Cruiser with pop up roof, flexible itinerary.
Mike and the crew are fantastic. Personalized our Safari the way we want it. Writing this review while on the Serengeti at our First Lunch Stop. We have been driving for 2 hours, and have clocked 11 species. Cape Buffalo, Giraffe, Baboon, Wilde Beast, Zebra, Cheeta, Lions, Hippo, deek deek, Impala, Elephant, maybe I missed a couple, too. Wilde Beast herds as far as you can see.-Good work! No timing or communication issues. Smooth as butter. Price was excellent, and beat every other company, and we still got luxury accomodations.

Excellent, Local (!), Eco-Conscious, and Professional Operator
We booked a 2-week, eco-friendly tour with Madagascar Natural Tours (MNT) and Harilala to see as much as possible of Madagascar, combining a few “off the beaten track” nature-experiences with some special (local) eco-lodges.
And in this MNT delivered with 5/5 stars! We had the most amazing, nature trip Madagascar can offer!
Beforehand and throughout the trip Harilala (as coordinator) was quick, responsive, thought along, flexible, and pro-active in helping to organize for our wishes. Especially with the recent unrest having some unforeseen negative consequences for detailed planning (for example changes in flight plans)
Most importantly, in the different nature reserves we visited, we always had an excellent, experienced (local!) guide, that was very knowledgable and spoke English well.
What is important to understand when visiting Madagascar for its amazing nature, is that Madagascar (contrary to mainland Africa) has extremely diverse and highly location-specific diversity and landscapes. This is what makes the Madagascar ecosystem so special and unique in the world, but from a tour-organization perspective, this necessitates you work with experienced local guides, as literally every forest is a different ecosystem (much much more vs other countries). And this is exactly what Harilala and MNT delivered.
On top of this, the fact that Madagascar is a very poor country, for us knowing our money directly goes to Malagasy and their communities was a huge plus.
Furthermore, in the rest of our travels, we were very wel accommodated, without any worries on planning or accommodation issues at all. (Which is not an easy feat in the highly decentralized, and hard-to-travel Madagascar!)
Would 100% recommend and use again for a next experience! Go local everyone!

He was very welcoming and efficient.
Our tour operator was Tiyani and he helped transfer us from the airport into the Kruger National park. This was very efficient, reliable and on time. I was very pleased with this service.

We chose Lion King Adventures because they were very attentive and thoughtful about replying to initial emails and were very happy with our tour,. Our guide, Oswald , was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, well organised, we always had a clear idea of what we were doing. The lodges we stayed in were great, very welcoming, good food and rooms. We saw so many animals, including the big five and Oswald rearranged our balloon trip for us to a different area when he realised that many wildebeest had already migrated.
