Excellent in every way!
Recently, my friend and I did a seven day safari tour with Goodluck and his team… it was an incredibly amazing experience!
I was impressed with the prompt and precise communication.. We had much dialogue back-and-forth about what we would like on the trip, and he met those needs and wants exactly😃 we toured 3 parks and stayed in the middle of Serengeti Park in a beautiful tent camp, surrounded by nature. We were able to see all kinds of animals and birds on our game drives and had enough time to just sit and watch the animals in their daily life, it was spectacular!
Africa is an expensive country to tour, but with this company, I felt we had great value for our money. Excellent service from our very reliable team, and a lot of fun to be with!
I would highly recommend Lion Motorcycle Adventures as a tour company (both for motorcycling and safari), I hope to one day go back again and tour with them
We come as guests, but we leave as friends

brilliant
We spent 15 days in Uganda and Rwanda. The organization was perfect, and Ahmed from Beyond was always attentive. Meddy, our driver, was outstanding, offering great advice and always looking out for us. Highly recommended; a fantastic experience.

A way to see the wildebeest river crossing and the Big Five while keeping the price down.
From July 25th to 30th, 2026, two of us participated in a 6-day, 5-night tour. We obtained quotes from about four companies before booking, but Crater Explorer Tours & Safaris was the cheapest and best met our requirements, so we chose them. Our desired conditions were as follows:
* A 6-day tour
* A lodge or tent lodge with beds, private bathroom, and hot shower, rather than basic public camping
* A trip to Kogatende/Mara River in the northern Serengeti to witness the wildebeest river migration
The price was US$3,600 for two people during the high season. This was about US$300-500 cheaper than other companies' quotes. (Apparently, the cost is higher than usual because it includes two nights in the Serengeti and a trip to the northern Serengeti.)
The actual tour was a shared vehicle with four other groups, and it seemed that participants were gathered through multiple tour companies.
The places we actually stayed were listed below:
• Marera Valley Lodge
• Shuhudia Adventure Camp
• Ngorongoro Tortilis Camp
• Jambo Lodge & Camping Site
Jambo Lodge & Camping Site was downgraded because the company explained on the afternoon of the tour that "the lodge originally planned for us had been broken into the previous night by thieves, and the accommodation was changed for security reasons."
The vehicle had shoddy windows compared to other companies and broke down twice due to poor maintenance, but such troubles are part of the fun of a safari, so it wasn't a problem.
Apparently, vehicle troubles are actually quite common.
(If you want a higher grade of vehicle and accommodation, or want to avoid trouble as much as possible, I think paying for a more expensive plan would be stress-free.)
Overall, we were able to see the wildebeest river crossing, the Big Five, and numerous lions and elephants. While the facilities and vehicle were commensurate with the price, we were able to fully experience the wildlife and scenery of the Serengeti, and spent six days like being in the world of The Lion King, so we were satisfied with the tour.

It was sensational, thanks to francis it was the best experience of my life
We were with Francis as tour operator and he was the best possible one.
We can ask him everything we wanted and he always answers with a smile.
In just a day and a half we’ve seen every animals possible and enjoyed our picnic lunch under a tree, it was so special.
Again I want to thank Francis for his kindness and love for his job.
If it was possible I would have put more than 5stars.

Amazing experience into wild
Our safari in Amboseli and Tsavo East was truly an unforgettable experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible guides: Emanuel, Mike, and Sami.
They were the perfect combination of professionalism and friendliness. From the very beginning, they made us feel welcome and were always attentive to our needs and requests. Their knowledge, experience, and passion for wildlife were evident every single day.
What impressed us the most was their exceptional ability to position the jeep in the best possible spots, giving us breathtaking views of the animals while always respecting nature. Thanks to them, we witnessed unforgettable moments, including a herd of elephants silhouetted against a magnificent fiery sunset and a cheetah walking right in front of our jeep. These experiences will stay with us forever.
If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, we cannot recommend Emanuel, Mike, and Sami highly enough. They made our journey truly special, and if we have the opportunity to return, we would definitely choose to go on safari with them again.
Thank you so much for the unforgettable memories and for making our time in the beautiful landscapes of Kenya!

Making the iconic gorilla tracking tour in full swing. It’s truly rewarding & lifetime lasting trip.
The agent is professional and prompt responding in facilitating the plan and implementation of our 4 day gorilla tracking and QE park safari. The choice of lodging and visit schedule are pleasant and satisfactory.

Great 5, great experience
We starter a 4 day safary with enthusiasm but also quite feared beacuse it was our first experience of this type. It has been an incredibile safari!!
Our guide, Melita, was excellent; friendly, professional, patient; he has a great knowledge of animals, tribal uses, natural parks. He satisfied every request of our group: we could see all Big 5 and much more (also baby lions, that were my first desire!). We took wonderful photos thanks to his ability to cacht the best views.
We had excellent accomodations, truly comfortable and ahestetic .
You do your job in the best way, Melita: the beauty of your Tanzania will be forever with us!!!

Once in a lifetime trip
My partner and I booked onto the 5 day Maasai Mara/Lake Nakuru & Naivasha safari. The trip exceeded all our expectations, and we were able to see a huge variety of animals across the beautiful parks.
Our tour guide, Samuel, was perfect. He made us feel safe at all times, and his knowledge of the animals and fun facts throughout the safari was invaluable. He made the trip even more special. Thank you!
Our only criticism would be that the communication from the office in the run-up to the tour was poor. We had little information about the timings or itinerary. That being said, once the trip started everything went smoothly. We had an absolute blast and would definitely tour with them again if we were in the area.
