Perfect
From the moment we were collected this was the best experience Ive had on any tour, surpassing all my expectations for my first safari.
I never write reviews but had to this time. Damien the guide who was with us for all 4 days was absolutely incredible. The knowledge and experience on the drive made all the difference. We felt safe and due to his vast know how not only got to see the BIG 5 but the positions he took up to get us as close as possible was truly breathtaking.
Not only that but all accommodation and food was 5/5 very clean and still managed to keep things simple with a?good mix of options for lunch which is prepared daily for us and the breakfasts and dinners were also excellent.
I would highly recommend this company and although im sure they have other guides who are great, i doubt any would be better than Damien.

They organized the tour very well, but their communication to the hotel we stay was not well.
John, our driver the guide for safari was outstanding for finding all animals which we expected to see them in the safari. We enjoyed very much with his guide and his friendship.
However the tour office was not a particularly good for communicating with the hotel and lodge on the first second and third days of the tour as we had to pay the extra on the first day and stayed a standard room instead of a luxury bungalow booked at the Karatu safari lodge on second and third days.

Outstanding experience, filled with emotion
Our 4-day Tanzania safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we owe it all to Damien. His knowledge isn't just impressive; it’s absolutely outstanding. He seemed to know what the wildlife would do before they did it, and we learned so much just from listening to him.
We saw the big 5 & all thanks to Damien’s expertise - absolutely brilliant
More than just an expert guide, Damien is a genuinely lovely guy who took such good care of us and kept us safe every step of the way. By the end of the trip, he felt like a friend. We couldn't have asked for a better person to share this journey with!
Absolutely amazing experience ❤️💫

Amazing
Nature Ethiopia Tours offered a wonderful tour of Addis Ababa at a great price. We were able to visit St. George Church, the National Museum, Taitu Hotel, Entoto Hill, Mercato and try out some great coffee and Ethiopian food. The tour was well planned, informative, and overall very enjoyable. Definitely recommend to anyone in Ethiopia!

Amazing tour operator for Mt Kenya
I can only recommend CKC Travels - John was super helpful organizing my Mount Kenya trekking trip, the most responsive company manager I encountered on the Kenyan market. He responded to all my messages quickly, and customized the tour to my requests. Michael as a mountain guide was also amazing - not only because he guided me successfully to Point Lenana, but he also shared his wide knowledge of Kenyan flora and fauna. He knows all the plants and birds of the mountains, and is a very kind and always cheerful guide. Steven, the cook was also wonderful, cooking everything carefully to make sure that my stomach was ok after a bad food poisoning before the tour in Nairobi. All in all wonderful experience, fully recommend the company in case you want to hike/climb Mt Kenya.

He was the best and honestly I could not have asked for anyone better,
It was truly an experience of a life time and Lion King Adventures made it magical. I don’t think we could have had better guides. Gilbert and Ozzy were truly the best. If you’re on the edge about booking it just do it. You will never forget it.

Excellent memory
Going to the Maasai Mara in Kenya with my family was a long-awaited dream come true for all of us. This trip turned out to be absolutely perfect—even beyond our expectations—and it was all thanks to our incredible guide, Francis.
Searching for wildlife in the vast savannah is a true test of patience. Francis seemed to possess a magical sense of positivity; from the moment we set out each day, he always wore the brightest, most optimistic smile, proactively and passionately searching every corner for us. Following his lead, we were thrilled to see elegant giraffes and magnificent herds of elephants, making every moment together as a family incredibly exciting.
What touched our family the most was Francis's sheer perseverance. There were times when we had been driving across the plains for so long that we were ready to give up, yet he remained fully focused, meticulously scanning the bushes and watching for the slightest movement. Our most unforgettable moment happened toward the very end of the trip. Through his incredible attentiveness and refusal to give up, Francis actually guided us right to a hidden thicket where we found a whole lion family, including two tiny, adorable lion babies! Seeing the lion family together in such a heartwarming scene was a moment of pure magic that deeply moved our entire family—it was a feeling beyond words.
Francis’s dedication to ensuring we had the trip of a lifetime was even more heartwarming than the wildlife sightings themselves. He felt less like a tour guide and more like an old friend in Kenya, sharing his homeland with us with boundless warmth. Thank you, Francis. Your radiant energy and determination made this African journey a lifetime treasure and the most heartwarming memory for our family.

Unforgettable Safari!
Our Tarangire and Serengeti safari was an absolute dream come true and we cannot recommend it highly enough! Thanks to our phenomenal guide, Meku, the experience was perfect in every possible way. Meku’s deep knowledge, incredible tracking skills, and warm hospitality truly made our trip unforgettable. With his expertise, we were thrilled to check off a major bucket list item: witnessing all of the Big Five animals in their natural habitat. This was a flawless adventure from start to finish!
