Great experience and great service
What a great experience. Right from the beginning, the staff were very helpful and responsive. Fredrick was masterful in organization and Zack was the best driver as we had a solid 8 days.

Best of the best
Just ending the Kenya portion of our trip and very sad to say goodbye to Alex. What’s an amazing guide. Found ALL the animals and was always able to position for the best close up shots. We saw everything the Mara had to offer thanks to Alex. Many key moments and sightings we were the only vehicle there. Alex is always flexible and makes sure that you are getting the adventure you wanted. Vehicle was fantastic and comfortable and even included a refrigerated cooler with water. The pop up is a must. Everything else that Splendid did for us was well organized. We’ve been spoiled. We’ll miss you Alex, thank you!

Let's Venture Africa Safari headed by Petricia has gifted the best safari days in Kenya I have ever experienced. She along with her driver cum guide, Mr. Joshua has been very patient and co-operative to all the needs we wanted. He was an excellent navigator and took to all the animal hotspots for the best view possible. We were gifted free jackets at the starting of the tour. The tour covered major 4 national parks including Masaai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate. It was a packed 8 days tour. We were provided with Land Cruiser Jeep car. Hospitality and punctuality amazed us a lot. They satisfied us through their tours and game drive. Behaviour was very commendable and no language problem was faced. Overall experience of my family was over the top.
Everyone on the tour was extremely helpful and polite to us throughout the whole process.
I would have to say this has been one of the best experiences I could have had.
From booking, to arrival, to the actual destination and the return to our hotel, everything was so well organised.
Even for lunch, we wasn’t expecting anything crazy but we had a hot plated lunch which was gorgeous and refreshments throughout the whole day.
We aimed to see the big 5 during the safari and we exceeded that! I went for the Nyerere Safari and I’m so glad I did (with the support of the guides as I was abit indecisive of which type of experience I wanted).
Overall I just cannot fault the whole day and I’m so grateful for the experience and the support during it.
Amazing trip!
Sharing our 10-day trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar
This was our first trip to Africa!
Sereland Safari which is a locally owned business. I emailed them directly about what I wanted to see and the following day they had a full itinerary. I compared prices and they were the most reasonable for what I wanted. They will customize the trip to what you want and they made the process stress free. I also recommend the balloon ride, it was an amazing view. The company will plan that for you also.
From what I gathered if you want to see a lot of wildlife you must have an experienced guide. Our guide had 17 years of experience and he knew where to find specific animals. We saw the Big 5 multiple times plus many other animals, and one of the highlights was seeing a rhino in the Serengeti.
The lodging was top notch, compared to places in the US the accommodations were even better. The food and staff were amazing at both places we stayed.
I’ve attached our itinerary and the company’s contact information. They do use what’s app also so that’s an easy way to communicate. Here’s all the photos I took during our trip!

Fantastic tour and guide
We booked a 5 day tour with Uwanda to visit Mikumi National Park and Nyerere National Park. Our guide Kapande was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the roads and the parks was unbelievable. He also knows the animals so well he would position the truck perfectly or tell us to wait when we thought they had gone as he knew they would come round again. He was really friendly and accommodating the whole time. Can't recommend him and the whole experience enough.

Absolutely amazing experience
We could not have been happier with the tour. It exceeded all of our expectations. Our guide, Kapande, was absolutely brilliant, and made sure we had some truly extraordinary experiences on safari. Really impressed with the value for money of the tour, and communications from the company, but Kapande really made this an incredible safari. We will definitely book again!

The best!!!
Our safari with Joyful Safaris and Tours was an absolute dream from start to finish. The entire team was incredibly professional, organized, and attentive to every detail, making sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the whole journey.
The game drives were spectacular, but what made this trip truly unforgettable is that we got engaged in the Serengeti! It was the most magical setting, and the team made sure our experience was flawless.
Thank you, Joyful Safaris, for being part of this milestone in our lives and for creating memories that we will cherish forever. If you are planning a trip to Tanzania, look no further—this is the company to choose. Highly recommended!

Amazing guide could spot the animals miles away!
I absolutely recommend Lion King! My friend and I were looking for a reliable safari company since going thru travel agencies was out of our budget. This company is family owned, they pride themselves on their good customer service and experienced tour guides. And they are right to!
Our flights in and out of Kilimanjaro were delayed and Lion King took care of everything for us.
On the safari, we saw 4 out of the Big 5, only missing out on leopards. Seeing the rhino was amazing considering there are less than 20 left on the reserve. Props to the guide who actually spotted it!
I wholeheartedly recommend this company.

Incredible Experience
We had the pleasure of organizing the entire northern circuit with Asanja and stayed in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Everything was perfect from start to finish and we had a great experience. We will definitely recommend to our family and friends.
