A highly professional tourism company
We are a group of six from China, and this was our first time participating in such a trip in this way. At first, we were a bit concerned about encountering an unreliable travel agency, but after communicating with Geofrey, we found him to be highly professional, clear-minded, and efficient. In fact, his exceptional organizational and coordination skills throughout the journey provided us with a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Our 18-day trip included Amboseli, Nakuru, and Maasai Mara in Kenya, as well as Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire, and Zanzibar Island in Tanzania—covering multiple destinations across two countries. Geofrey arranged everything in an orderly and meticulous manner. I will definitely recommend this company to my friends.

Likana Safaris provide an excellent safari at a reasonable cost backed up by very supportive staff
Likana Safaris arranged and delivered an excellent safari. Michelle and Bonny responded quickly to all queries. The arrangements proved to be exactly as expected including the type of room requested in each lodge. Michelle met us on the first day at the hotel in Kampala while Bonny met us on our final day to obtain feedback and ideas from us.
The star of Likana was David our driver and guide. He contacted us to introduce himself by WhatsApp before we left the UK and was waiting for us at Entebbe airport. Throughout the 2 weeks with us David was extremely helpful and proved very knowledgeable about Uganda and its wildlife. He ensured we saw the “big 5” animals and, given my age and having two hip replacement operations in the previous four months, negotiated to ensure our trek to find the gorilla family was relatively short.
Spending an hour with the gorillas at very close quarters was the highlight of the safari and would have been the highlight of any safari in Africa.
Uganda is a very beautiful country and Likana arranged for us to see its people, wildlife and countryside at very reasonable cost.
A truly memorable safari and holiday.

Deeply experienced with a great sense of humour, he delivered the safari of a lifetime.
Our guide Heaven, of Lion King Adventures delivered the safari of a lifetime. Heaven helped me spot the big 5, showing his deep experience and knowledge of the animals, along with a great sense of humour and top efficiency. The trip greatly exceeded all my expectations, and I felt extremely privileged to have seen so much under the direction of such a wonderful and knowledgeable guide.
I would thoroughly recommend my experience with Lion King and have done so to my family and friends. I loved seeing the rhinos, leopards, lions (and their cubs), the water buffalo and the elephants along with many more animals such as giraffe and zebra. I greatly enjoyed experiencing the vast expanses of the Serengeti and the beaty of the Ngorongoro Crater.
The delicious food also deserves a special mention and the hospitality of all the kind staff of the places we stayed at including Nyota Rift Valley, Embalaki Authentic Camp and Arusha Planet Lodge. For example, being greeted with music and dance and invited to learn about cultural practices and traditional ways of life and being able to ask questions was a highlight. The accommodation was very clean and very comfortable. I felt very safe and well looked after throughout the trip.
I have truly made memories on this holiday that I will treasure indefinitely thanks to Lion King and our guide Heaven.

Highly professional and relaxed tour guide who ensured we had an unforgettable trip!
We booked a 7-day safari with Lion King Adventures, with Heaven Tembe as our guide, and visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
The booking process was very easy, and the team were attentive and responsive throughout. All the accommodation arranged through Lion King Adventures was excellent, with very clean rooms, high-quality food and beautiful surroundings. A particular favourite was Nyota Rift Valley Lodge, which had a spectacular view across Lake Manyara.
Our guide, Heaven, was very welcoming and professional. From the start of the trip, he asked which animals we most wished to see and worked incredibly hard to find us unique viewing opportunities, drawing on his many years of experience. In addition, he was extremely knowledgeable about each of the animals we saw and gave us a much deeper understanding of their individual behaviours and the challenges they face.
Most importantly, Heaven was extremely patient, relaxed and good-humoured, tailoring each day to the pace at which we wished to travel. At no point did we feel rushed or that we had not spent enough time observing a particular scene. We felt incredibly fortunate to have had such an experienced guide, who helped ensure our trip was truly unforgettable. We could not recommend him to others highly enough.

Teko’s knowledge as a guide & tracker will open up a world of adventure and spectacular sightings.
If you're looking for an authentic Botswana safari, I can't recommend Baxanekhwe Safaris highly enough.
We spent five unforgettable days camping near Moremi National Park with our wonderful guide Teko, Rose our organizer and her team who made camping seem comfortable and effortless.
Our days began with sunrise game drives and ended with a quiet drink as the African sun set over the savannah. Between drives we returned to warm showers, delicious meals prepared by a great campfire chef, and thoughtful touches like warm water waiting outside our tent each morning.
Oh and by the way the wildlife was spectacular thanks to the incredible tracking and habitat knowledge of our guide Teko who knows this land like his own backyard.

A Pleasant Surprise From Sereti Wilderness Safaris!!
Before we arrived in Tanzania communication was of high professionalism. The proposed itineraries were well planned and curated, our questions were answered early and in a professional way. Kisanga is indeed a very intelligent and smart person.
Our Guide ,Mr. Melick, was knowledgeable, jovial and so patient with our questions.
The Safari Jeep was clean, always stocked with water, soft drinks and snacks . We were also given a hot lunch throughout the Safari.
We were really amazed and far better from our expectations. Highly recommended you won't regret it!

Very complete experience and we have great memories with our guide Diana and our driver Gerald
We've just arrived from Uganda and we have a lot of memories about that country. Our guide Diana showed us Uganda with all type of activities. And we enjoyed with local people apart from watching all kind of animals. On the other hand, our driver Gerald had a great car 4x4 where we could enjoy the experience and take pictures in that car.
I think i'm in love with Africa and we will repeat with this company, so thank you all workers.

Unforgettable experience
We had an amazing safari experience and highly recommend Ramja Safaris.
Steve was great to communicate with from the start. Very helpful and responsive, making everything easy to organise.
Our guide, Isaac, was fantastic and truly went out of his way to make our days the best they could be. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife.
Everything was well organised and exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Steve and Isaac, for such a memorable trip!

Everything we had hoped for in a Kenya photography safari
Paul (Ways of Africa) put together the exact itinerary that our group was looking for at a very reasonable price. I appreciated his ability to account for our goals and come up with a plan that met them.
Between the initial booking and the actual trip there wasn't much communication and I would have appreciated a little more proactivity. That said, everything was arranged and taken care of, so not much communication was actually needed. Paul did have a zoom call with us a couple of weeks before our arrival which gave us a chance to ask questions.
The trip itself was perfect. We were met at the airport, driven to our first night hotel in Nairobi, and met our guide the next morning. We had requested experienced guides for tracking wildlife and creating opportunities for great photos, and Ways of Africa delivered. We ended up with Surat for the first part of our trip and Frank for the rest. Both did a great job of anticipating the actions of the wildlife and putting us in great positions.
Our lodging/food exceeded my expectations - especially for the price we paid during high season. I would comfortably book with Ways of Africa again in the future.
