Amazing and informative guide, made the tours very easy
Joseph made the day in Nairobi incredibly easy. He took care of the tickets for all of our events before, so we didn't have to pay or wait in lines anywhere. He is a great driver and very knowledgeable about so many topics. We saw many wonderful places, went to his recommended spots for lunch and coffee after, which were both excellent. It was a very easy and relaxing day for us as he took care of it all.

Supportive
Overall I am satisfied with this tour, that included game drives and Maasai village. Our guide Steve was very enthusiastic and took us to many places during Safari. When we checked later some people did not see the scenes that we saw. We saw all animals of Big Five and more. He was very friendly, cheerful and knew the area pretty well. He was also very helpful to other colleagues during Safari ride... three trucks were stuck in the mud and he did not hesitate to help them as well as he stopped and helped the driver with the flat tire. I think that such support in the middle of the nowhere is very important. I will recommend him as a good guide and driver. The company itself provided several options and I stayed at the Tented Camp and I knew what to expect, but the company did not warn us that there will be no Internet and it was quite challenging, food was below average and it also was challenging because there were no eateries close to this camp. So I would recommend to plan wisely where to stay.

Great safari experience
Based on the excellent customer feedback we chose Lion King. The entire process from the booking until the end of the safari was very smooth. Everything was very well organized and planned ahead.
Florida did a wonderful job in accommodating our wishes and keeping things organized before safari. She also went above and beyond to get our lost luggage from the airport to one of our lodges we stayed during Safari.
Already on the first day in Tarangire we saw young lions hunting for a warthog (that got away), hyenas harassing elephants, and many giraffes. Stayed at Eileen’s Trees Inn which was clean and friendly.
The second day driving to Serengeti was excellent, the scenery of the mountains, crater views, Maasai villages, and then open plains teeming with animals devoid of human signs. Thanks to our guide Shabani’s expertise and connections, saw a couple of cheetahs and a leopard right up close, and the amazing gnu and zebra herds of the great migration, with a few hippos before lodging at Nyota Luxury Camp. Nyota was beautiful, friendly, clean, and the food was the best.
The second Serengeti day was our highlight, with an early morning balloon ride followed by a game drive where we saw a large pride of lions work together to hunt and catch a warthog which the cubs then got to eat! The fourth day at Ngorongoro crater included lions, buffalos, rhinos, and numerous new bird acquaintances. The last day was at Lake Manyara (TBA).
We were happy with the 5-day duration, as sitting on bumpy roads takes its toll - our two teens would have preferred shorter but such is the attention span of the young these days. The chemistry with our guide was excellent all along, his expertise provided us experiences other parties would have missed, and we can warmly recommend Shabani to anyone!

They helped me make big 5 dream came true
This is one of the best operators in Arusha. The driver and guide is very excellent and experienced. He helped me find the big 5 and got closer to the animal in a friendly way as possible as he can. I appreciated his help. Emanuel, the manager is kind and helpful. He tried his best to meet my requirements! Thank you for your service!

Wonderful experience, organization a bit chaotic
We had the best time climbing Kilimanjaro for 5 Days through Marangu Route. 9 people in total supported us. We had two great guys (especially Elly was wonderful in explaining the nature to us). The nicest waiter Ashraf, and overall we had a good time with the team. After that we spent one night in Arusha to then have 2 days in Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorogoro crater. The Safari was well organized and we saw fascinating animals. Some things for improvement:
The packing list was incomplete. We did not know that we should bring a duffle bag, multiple gloves, that our bags were carried etc. At the Safari we were told sleeping bags were provided, however they were not washed and therefore we would have loved our own. Also we were told on Kilimanjaro that we had double rooms but had to share rooms two nights. Pick up times were communicated on very short notice and we had to remind the tour operator that he owed us one more night that we had paid for. Again, tour was amazing but organization needs improvement.

Amazing experience
We had the best guides (Elly and Oscar) and crew (special thanks to our waiter Ashraf) for hiking up Kilimanjaro, super nice and very experienced! The cook provided us with the best food and the whole team was super friendly and supportive.
At Serengeti and Ngorongoro Safari Joseph was our super friendly guide. Only thanks to him we had an amazing time, he knows all the good spots and so much background knowledge to tell you about the flora and fauna. It was an amazing experience!
Thanks to John and his team for organizing this trip! Even though there were a few communication problems we had the very best time.

Perfect tailor made tours
We had a personalised 2 week tour around Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda going on game drives, chimp and gorilla trekking. Anne was such a great help in planning and sorting out any small issues along the way. Would definitely recommend Mega Wild Safaris to anyone who is looking for a great tour experience!
