Great trip but 6 days was too long. Before booking, insure you have a good guide/driver
I loved the safari but did not realize how much time would be spent sitting in a jeep. I understand being on a safari means driving long distances to get to the wildlife. Both Tanzania and Kenya had amazing wildlife. I had a mix of drivers - some very good, some not so good. When the drivers spoke English and were motivated to teach, educate, it was a joy. Unfortunately, a couple drivers did not communicate well at all and this was frustrating. I also recommend shopping around for prices - the safari itself is the same for everyone (big difference is driver). In my group, some of us spent significantly more than others for the same thing.

Professional, friendly and reliable
Communication and reliability was great. We kept to the agreed schedule.
Martin was friendly and knowledgeable. Tried really hard to help us see as many animals as possible.
Accommodation was great. The view from the room was incredible.
Food was okay, portions a bit small and little options.
Despite not seeing any big cats we thoroughly enjoyed the trip, especially the boat trip from Kazinga Channel. We'll worth it just for that!

Trip of a lifetime
I had the most wonderful holiday with Duncan Muli, who has forgotten more than most know about the African bush. My accomodation was great, I saw so much and have now so0 many memories that will last a lifetime. The game trucks are basic, but that's nopt what you go for. My experie3nce was just so amazing, would recommend to anyone. And very reasonably priced for whjat I had.

Great Experience for all points of view
Our experience with Savannah Explorer is even more than we expected, for accommodation, vehicle, guide and oraganization. Add the beautiful game drives all over Serengeti (especialli the Noth) , Ngorngorno and Lake Manyara , and the trip becomes unforgettable.

Well organised, trustworthy company with amazing friendly staff!
Such a brilliant company! Ibrahim was great dealing with all of our questions and making sure everything was organised. This put our minds to rest before our trip even started.
Hadji, our guide was amazing. He is knowledgeable about the animals and the environment and he made our trip. Without him I don’t think we would have enjoyed our safari as much as we did. He was always so happy and nothing was ever to much trouble for him. We spent 6 days on safari with him and we feel as though we have made a good friend in Hadji. With him, we were able to see more than we hoped we would see. If you have Hadji as your safari guide, you are very lucky!!

Unforgettable experience
We have just made a 7-day Safari with Lion King adventures . The experience has been very satisfactory in all aspects. Regarding the organization, the Lion King Staff was able to organize a tailor-made trip just 3 days in advance(!).Our driver & guide, David , spokes Spanish fluently.This is a bonus value, as many Spanish people visit Tanzania.
It was a 7-day Safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. The type of Safari included hotel accommodation, camping site with cabins and camping with tents in the camping areas of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. The agency provided the camping equipment. The vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser had a lifting roof to facilitate the observation of animals, plugs with AC supply and USB port for charging batteries and electronic accessories and refrigerator, as well as enough the for luggage.
In addition to the driver-guide David, we were accompanied by a chef, Yusuphu, who prepared breakfast, dinner and picnic meals daily.
David is a great professional, with the qualities of a safari guide: knowledge of the terrain, animal behaviour and enough patience. We were fortunate to watch many wild animals, including leopards, cheetahs and lions that inhabit the trees of the Manyara park. There really are no words to describe the beauty of landscapes; The 4 parks we visited were very different although they had wildlife in common.
It is admirable how Yusuphu was able to prepare fantastic meals with very limited items and without repeating the menu. Few things are better than a splendid dinner after a day of safari.
It is necessary to highlight the organization of the national parks of Tanzania, with an excellent care of the surroundings, many rest areas where the state and the cleanliness of the facilities is excellent, including the bathrooms so for public use.
The attention and treatment received from David and Yusuphu have been top.
Taking a trip like this is an unforgettable experience, which has been possible thanks to Lion King adventures.

Amazing Safari with Planet Africa Safari
Thanks to Planet Africa Safari, we organized our amazing honeymoon in Tanzania (10 days in the mainland, 8 days in Zanzibar). 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. In Zanzibar, we stayed at the amazing Xanadu Private Villas.
Overall, we could not recommend more Planet Africa! The accommodations exceeded all our expectations (we are talking about luxury lodges or tents) and the organization was simply phenomenal: superb guides (with great knowledge and experience) and lovely camp staff!
I would definitely recommend 100 times Planet Africa!

What a Fantastic Trip
Stunning Safari, nothing was too much trouble and everything went very smoothly. Thanks to Ben and Aurélie for all the preparation, guidance and planning which ensured we had a fantastic safari followed by a relaxing break in Zanzibar. We were collected from Nairobi, and our guide Jonathan Maina, went out of his way to ensure had a fantastic few days at Old Peteta Sweetwaters Conservancy, proving to be really knowledgeable about the animals and surrounding area. Everything was well planned and we thoroughly enjoyed the game drives. We then moved onto Maasai Mara where Benard Njinu was equally skilled at keeping us informed about the large variety of wildlife and was great at locating the animals when we would have missed them. We stayed at the Eden Camp, which was great, with Hippos wallowing in the nearby river. Again nothing was too much trouble. It was sad to move on, but a week relaxing in Zanzibar before leaving for the UK was a great way to finish the holiday
I can't praise the whole experience highly enough, everything was organised for us with us only booking flights to and from the UK. I would recommend E-Trip Africa to anyone and hope to do a further trip with them before very long.

Super Amazing Trip to Kenya
Every detail of our trip to Kenya was taken care of with great detail by Daniel. All our accommodations were outstanding especially in Maasai Mara.
We were very fortunate to have Tony as our guide. We saw the "Big Five" several times over. Tony spotted animals for us at amazing distances and drove as close as possible, taking into consideration the light and angles, so we could take really good photos. He was super knowledgeable, professional and at the same time very friendly. We always felt safe and at home with him. We have so many great memories! Transtrek Safari made our experience in Kenya an amazing one. We have no hesitation in recommending them.
