My Daughter and I had an amazing experience
My daughter and I had a three day safari in southern Kenya with Robert Malusha. He was absolutely wonderful and setting up the experience, and our trip was effortless. What a wonderful time, and I would not hesitate to book with him again!

Reliable and fun company.
We booked a tour in advance from Russia. Choose between two companies. But the Meerkats turned out to be more sociable and efficient.
Partial prepayment will be required, but all tour operators need it, this is normal.
Hilary always answered extra. questions and nice chatted.
We took a tour for 2 nights and three days. Before and after the tour we were accommodated in a hotel, and also met, which was nice.
About the company:
1. A wonderful driver - Onesmo guide. Experienced, fast and fun. He talked about animals and the park in English, if you do not know English, this is not a problem, since there is enough to see. Thanks to our guide, we saw a lot of impressive moments.
2. Super cook Salim pleased with hot dinners. Everything is very tasty, there is a lot of food, we were satisfied!
3. The car is clean, sturdy and comfortable. We are even very used to it.
In general, I can recommend Surikata, feel free to take their tour.
The company is reliable, we were satisfied.
P.S: At night it is very very cold, you need to take warm clothes, preferably thermal underwear. Sleeping bags may not be very clean if you are squeamish, buy a sleeping bag liner or take your own. Ngorongoro Campsite has wifi and hot water. Take a towel and toilet paper (may run out).

Everything was great!
Booked from St. Petersburg. Went for 3 days and 4 nights. Seregneti + NgoroNgoro. Arrived, met at the airport with a sign. Taken to the hotel. The hotel is simple, but you can sleep, there is warm water. The Internet at the hotel did not work, there was a lack of ip addresses. Maybe it was necessary to go down and that the thread was adjusted, but we did not. Cheerful Hilary took the main amount of money in the evening before the safari :)
In the morning we were met, some of the luggage was left for storage in hotels. We were taken to the first camp, there was a delicious breakfast! We went in a jeep in the Serengeti. The jeep is excellent, it didn’t break, it was comfortable and passable, apparently not all jeep companies had normal four-wheel drive, someone got stuck, we didn’t. We changed seats with others, there were 6 of us, the rear seats were the most uncomfortable, we immediately agreed to change. Onesmo driver - knows how to drive well and an excellent guide, knows everything, apparently experienced.
At the first halt in a campsite (with wifi!) On the way we gave a super tasty lunch, the cook Salim cooks just super !!! Here was our mistake, and that we were undernourished, for example, eggs and cookies, we left and we did not see them anymore. Take with you what you didn’t eat! Further safari and camp in Serengeti (no wifi). Great super dinner with wine! Sleep normally, at night I think about +10. The bedrooms are not very clean, Hilary, you can change and wash more often :) In the morning without breakfast at all, coffee and cookies (here you will need the leftover lunch) and a super cool tour of the Serengeti! A bunch of animals, super-super-super impressions !!! Already without a load, therefore, in a jeep - freer. Then a great lunch in the same camp, and return to Ngoro-Ngoro. There, as always, a super dinner + wine! Wi-Fi is. Sleep in the same tents, a little colder. I slept in thermal underwear, a flizk and a bag. It was approx. The bag itself is a summer-fall type, not very warm. Great breakfast in the morning! NgoroNgoro after the Serengeti didn’t really fit us. Worse, but ride normally. Then a great lunch in the same camp and back to Arusha. They gave the room already on the 3rd floor, more clean and with kondeem. IP addresses were not enough :) Dinner is not included! But the hotel has a restik, now let's go eat it :) Tomorrow they should arrange a transfer to the airport.
Take enough power banks, the car has 6 charges of 220 volts, but the sockets are loose, charging is very bad! Take toilet paper, towel, gel. Do not take water - water is unlimited. General impressions of the tour - 10/10. One of the best tours in the life of a spoiled tourist. I recommend Surikata and the program itself!

Lion King provided an excellent trip!
Our safari with Lion King in northern Tanzania was excellent!
We loved the people and the incredible Serengeti and Tanzanian scenery, and most of all, the animals. Lions! and elephants! and giraffes! and hippos! and water buffalo! The ever present tail-wagging gazelles, zebras, baboons, monkeys, crocodiles. Amazing birds. The wildebeest migration. Holy cow!
Our Lion King guide, Salehe Kimosa, was both professional and very entertaining, and personable. He knew where to find all the animals, and brought us as close as could be without disturbing them. He also was a wealth of regional information, and his english was excellent.
Our chef, Karim, prepared great meals, both Tanzanian and western, every day.
Also, maybe less noticeable, but very, very important, the logistics provided by the Lion King staff were impeccable. Arranging for airport pickup, all transfers prepaid, all park fees taken care of. The hotels were quite good.
This was a great trip, and we can't praise Lion King enough.

It was great!!!
Met us at Arusha airport our Ranger Said. We immediately went to the area of Manyara Park. Said was very friendly and cheerful. He spoke perfect English. the choice of campsites and lodges was provided for every taste. Chose naturally in advance. Many thanks to our Ranger Said. We saw the whole big five of Africa. All but the rhinoceros we were able to observe at arm's length. It's amazing. The jeep was always washed in the morning, everything was punctual and perfect. Our little son (6 years old) just didn't get off Said. He not speaks on English but with Said they found common language)) Thank you! We saw an amazing Africa.
