A country of great diversity in geography, landscapes, wildlife, culture, people and wealth
Our trip to South Africa had some highs and lows. We self-drove for 10 days from Port Elizabeth, along the Garden Route and into Oudtshorn and Franshoek. It was a very affordable country for us to visit and we had some great experiences but didnt always feel safe. The food was great and we met some lovely people at our accomodation. The highlight of our trip was 4 days in the Kapama Game reserve. Amazing food, wonderful staff and awesome wildlife.

Excellent
I would love to encourage everyone visiting africa especially east Africa to use safaris. It’s more reliable, experienced, and cost effective.

Fantastic Safari with average acomodation and food
The safari and our driver (Albert) were fantastic! The acomodation and food (mainly rice, potatoes, spinach and chicken 2x a day) are low standard. As all tour operators stop at the same places I assume it is the same on all safaris. As such I can recommend Jocky Tours!

Fabulous Greenfire Game Lodge 4 day Stay and Safari
Greenfire Game Lodge offers comfortable and eco conscious safaris for a very reasonable cost. Food was healthy and beautifully presented, our hosts and safari guide were all knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the animals and the area. We saw magnificent game over the 4 days. Elefant, Giraffe and kudo from the vehicle but also just outside our rooms in the river course… lions, rhinos, hyenas zebra , various antelopes and many birds on the drives. Felt very blessed by the experience and highly recommend it. Easy transport from airport and back again, all went very smoothly.

Efficient, reliable operator that provided us with the gaming experience we wanted
Discover Africa Safaris listened to what we wanted to experience in Africa and tailor made a series of fly in fly out safaris for us. The gaming locations that they chose were exceptional. This is why we came to Africa. Within minutes of our first game drive we were within metres of a pride of lions. The next day we were following a tracker on foot to a group of cheetah cubs. They were contactable during our holiday and were able to resolve an issue which arose with one of our accommodation providers during our holiday. This enabled us to enjoy our holiday whilst they sorted out the issue in the background.

IT was a great Trip, gppd organisation
A well-organized tour with scope for individual requests, as we had a private tour. Small problems were resolved competently, quickly and reliably. We recommend it!T

Fantastic experience !
I have no hesitation in recommending Lion King adventures. Our communications with the company from start to finish were excellent. Our guide, Gama, was brilliant. His knowledge of fauna and Flora was exceptional! Every question we asked he knew the answer. Gama went out of his way to make sure that we had an incredible experience and saw all of the animals we wanted to see. He was very patient and kind throughout. Our cook, Karim, was also wonderful. He cooked up delicious meals day after day with great variety. Thoroughly enjoyed eating Karin’s food. The only negative I have to say about the whole experience was the campsite in Serengeti. Unfortunately, the washroom facilities at this campsite for the women were woeful. Blocked toilets, doors to the shower and toilets which did not close, and a flooded drain in one of the two available showers. Facilities in high season are alcompletely inadequate For the numbers of campers. I realise that this campsite is not run by Lion King adventures however I feel it prudent to let people booking a future Camping Safari know about the facilities in the Serengeti. Other than this though, just want to reiterate that our six days spent with Gama and Karin on this Safari adventure of a lifetime were incredible!!

Great opportunity to visit Rwanda ´ à la carte ’. Great attention to your areas of interest.
Enjoyed contacts in villages along the way too. Alot of interesting things to see from mud bricks to yam flour fabrication. Stop over in good local restaurants was a discovery too.

Great on ground support from Apodiformes - we had a wonderful experience
The tour was well curated & Fredrick our operator, made sure it was customized to accomodate our requirements. Our guides were well trained & went the ecxtra mile to ensure we had great sightings. Accomodation & meals were comfortable & we enjoyed a special sundowner in the bush. The travel to Mombasa required travel at odd hours & was quite a long train journey, but we signed up for it for the beautiful beach views! Overall I'd highly recommed this operator as they are always available to support & deliver as per plan.

A good mix between professionalism and friendliness!
To plan a trip to Kilimandscharo is no easy job! From Visa, to Lodge rooms, sleeping bags and food, a lot has to be prepared. Magnus proved very helpful in the preparation and we always felt like we were in very good hands with him until the very end where he organised the shuttle to the airport. The trip itself was flawless everything was well planed but Magnus, Ayubu and the team always left space for spontaneity, i.e. when we wanted to change our breakfast routine. At the mountain we always felt safe and were sure that everything was under control. Overall it was a very good, professional and friendly experience with miles to smile. The only thing that hurts my heart a bit is to see such a nice place so full of tourists but even that was handled well by Magnus and the team by setting up the tent at the edges of the camp or leaving at irregular times in order to be a bit more alone.
