Amazing experience
The Safari experience was amazing, even better than we imagined. This was our first Safari and now we want to repeat the experience but with more days
Safari soles was excellent throughout the process, Bryson was very kind and always answered our questions on time, and during the Safari our driver was incredible, very friendly, always looking for the animal we wanted to see and looking for our comfort.
The hotels that Bryson booked for us were very nice and comfortables.
I totally recommend Safari Soles for this experience

Unforgettable Memories with Best Memory Safaris
This is the first time for both of us to come to Kenya and to Africa.
Before we decided to Kenya, we did lots of research to see how other tourists decided their trips. Among lots of choices, we decide to choose Best Memory Safari Agency among huge qty of safari agency.
No matter in the price or the services, I think Best Memory Agency(BMA) is excellent. We contacted agency boss Issac about our consideration and requirements. He tried his best to arrange the most suitable journey according to our demand. He would reply us by WhatsApp very quickly if we asked him any question. He also gave us some tips before our trip, like what’s necessary to prepare and what we should pay attention to. This was so warm for us, especially for our first trip in Africa. Our driver Mr. Bedan is so professional in the safaris and lead us to see lots of animals and birds. The most important point which we are so moving was that he didn’t only lead us to the animal resident place but also he told us how to decide the animals and birds, which was impressive for us and we were so thankful for him to teach us a lot which was definitely so memorable.
The hotels and resorts during the trip could meet our any needs in the trip. The Staff wefe very nice and the food was fresh and delicious. We felt like in the dream because we can only imagined it and saw it in the movie not in real. But we did get the feeling like the scenery. My friend is a giraffe fan and the last day Issac also helped us to arrange the trip to Giraffe Centre in Nairobi which arranged the trip very colorful.
By the way we asked the extra service to pick us up from the airport to the hotel and drop us off from the hotel to the airport. Mr. Issac also helped us to do the arrangement. We don’t need to worry anything.
We won’t forget this trip in Kenya with Best Memory Safaris. We are sososo appreciated Issac and Bedan and Best Memory Safaris, and what they did for us. I strongly recommended this agency if you will go to Africa. Thank you again, Best Memory Safaris, Issac, Bedan, we will keep you in mind! ❤️

Couldn't ask for anything better! Incredible safari!
Thanks to Planet Africa Safari, we stayed in 3 different Asilia Africa's lodges: Oliver's camp in Tarangire, the Highlands in the Ngorongoro and Ubunti in the Northern Serengeti. We also stayed in other two amazing lodges partnering with Asilia, Kisima Ngeda in Lake Eyasi and Plantation Lodge in Lake Manyara.
Overall, we could not recommend more Asilia! The accomodations exceeded all our expectations (we are talking about luxury lodges or tents), food was lovely and the staff was simply phenomenal: superb guides (with great knowledge and experience) and lovely camp staff!also, we decided to choose Asilia thanks to their positive impact towards the local communities and their philosophy (communal dinners and happy hours, for example). I definitely recommend 100 times Asilia Africa!

Far Beyond Expectations
I feel like words can not express how impressed I was with Tanzania Exclusive Journeys. From the moment Ian picked us up from the airport I was immediately impressed and knew we were going to have an awesome time. While still at the airport Tony called our driver guide to be sure we arrived safely. I loved that Tony and our driver guide Ian sat us down and reviewed the entire Safari details and itinerary with us and made sure we were comfortable with the plans. Ian quickly became our best friend and we were so sad to leave him at the airport our last day. We felt like he really cared about our safety and making sure we also had a great time. My only regret is that we didn’t have them plan our first week in Zanzibar. We did the comfort Safari and could not have been more impressed with the accommodations each night! Again I can not say enough about this tour group. Thank you so much and we miss you guys!

Absolutely magical 21 day safari
The two of us spent 21 days camping (some public campsites, some tented camps) through Lake Manyara, Serengeti Central, Serengeti North, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. This is our second trip through Africa and Tanzania; we had certain expectations and Lion King Adventures consistently exceeded them. This was our first with Lion King.
Our first contact with Lion King was via email with Wilbard. He answered all our questions clearly and fully, was flexible and tailored the trip to exactly our needs, and provided comprehensive (and as we found out on the trip) very good advice to us. His service and attitude was one of the main reasons we went with Lion King. Once the itinerary was nailed down we were in contact with Anna to sort out payment and the finer details; she was as attentive and detailed as Wilbard, and responded quickly to questions and acknowledging payment. The whole process before we arrived in Tanzania was smooth and worry free. We met James (the owner) and Wilbard at the end of the trip; Wilbard was keen to get our feedback and thoughts to improve the service he and Lion King offer.
We travelled with a guide / driver, Salehe, and a cook, Kurimu. They were both fantastic fun, professional and considerate for the entire trip. They were extremely flexible, tailoring and fettling the trip for us as we progressed, such as tweaking the food and seeking out quieter, less ‘touristy’ places. Each and every day they worked unfailingly hard to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime.
The food prepared by Kurimu was exceptionally good, even better than that at the tented camps, and was made to our preferences and tastes as we had outlined to Anna. There was lots of variety, fresh fruits and vegetables, and the meals were so big that there were always leftovers (though not for our lack of trying). Given the conditions, facilities (or lack thereof) and the distances involved it was a fantastic effort on Kurimu’s part.
Our driver / guide Salehe was with us all day while Kurimu generally stayed back at camp. We enjoyed Salehe's company very much. He was friendly, informative and very flexible. He had eyes like an eagle, seeing things we would definitely have missed without him. He was adept at placing the car in the best possible position for us (a miracle as one of us was operating a long lensed camera, the other a video) and always ensured we had enough time. He was patient, especially with the migration crossings over the Mara river. We saw more than we could have ever expected – including over 150 lions and cubs, 8 migration crossings, a serval, multiple cheetahs and cubs, leopards and cubs, baby giraffe, incredibly coloured lizard and birds – and with many of the animals we saw them at very close range. Truly magical.
Salehe was flexible with the timing and duration of the daily drives. We stayed out all day as long as possible to maximise our chances of seeing animals. There was more than enough water on board and, with Kurimu’s packed lunches, it was more efficient than returning to camp for lunch.
The car, a Toyota Land Cruiser, was great. There were only the two of us in the back, giving us more than adequate room and great visibility with the pop top roof and four seats. The windows were different from other vehicles out there; they could be wound right down (rather than sliding half way across like others) allowing lots of room to 'hang out' and take photos and video. The car had a power-board with multiple points which allowed us to always keep our batteries fully charged and avoid the camp site scrum for power. The video battery, which usually takes overnight to charge, charged fully during the day as we drove. Mechanically the car was well maintained and had no issues on the trip. It was always kept very clean and well organised, Salehe spending hours at the end of each day cleaning and prepping the car for the next day.
From start to end (right from first contact to being dropped off at the airport), there is nothing we can think of that would have made the trip any better. Lion King more than delivered what they said they would.
In the end we simply did not want to come home.
A few tips for the Serengeti:
Show your driver/guide your camera gear early, tell them what it can do and what you want. That way they will work for you in getting the best position for the gear you have.
Disposable underwear. Washing takes your time and in most of the places they will not wash your underwear for you. Buy cheap undies, shed them as you go, it’s easier and simpler. Shirts, jeans and the rest usually costs around USD 2 to 3 per piece for next day laundry.
Your mobile phone isn’t good enough for photos. You’ll get some half-reasonable happy snaps but honestly, it’s not good enough. If you’ve paid to get to the Serengeti fork out the extra $200 to $500 for a zoom digital camera – you’ll not regret it.
You don’t have enough memory. Bring extra memory cards. You’ll need them.

Great and excellent service
I did a safari with my family in march this year in Tanzania and Kenya. Communication was great, booking and payments was easy. I will always recommend this team.
