Our safari - a blend of adventure and luxury
Our four-day safari across Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Lake Manyara turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable and well-organized adventure. From the get-go, our guide, Lodi, impressed us with his easy communication style, making us feel comfortable and in good hands from the start. We were also able to meet Emmanuel (Managing Director) at the start of the Safari, who gave us a good briefing about our journey including all the information we needed. We met Emmanuel again at the Airport when we flew to Zanzibar – he made sure everything was perfect!
Lodi's in-depth knowledge of the parks and wildlife was evident, helping us spot the Big Five within just two days. His understanding of animal behavior allowed us to be in the right place at the right time, ensuring our safari truck always had the best views.
The only minor tweak we'd suggest is a more relaxed pace. The four days were packed with incredible sightings, leaving us yearning for a bit more time to soak in the experience without feeling rushed.
The accommodations at the lodges were exceptional. From the views to the design and the attentive staff, each lodge contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The only downside was the limited time we had to fully appreciate the lodges amidst the whirlwind of the safari. For that we recommend a longer trip with more rest time in between.
In essence, this safari, was a balanced blend of adventure and luxury. It showcased the beauty of Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes while providing a comfortable retreat at day's end. Despite the slight time constraints, it was undoubtedly our best holiday, and we would recommend it to those looking for a well-rounded safari experience.

Fantastic week in the Kruger National Park with the very knowledgeable Chris
We had a fantastic week in the central and northern parts of KNP with Chris determined that we would see as much as possible! We had been on many self drive trips to KNP before but having a very knowledgeable guide adds a further dimension to your holiday experience. Chris and his assistant Scumboso looked after us very well and nothing was too much trouble for them
Our booking had been handled very well over e mail by Thale and all communication was swift and Thale patiently dealt with all our requests and answered all our questions.
The whole week was very well organised from our transfer from Joburg airport to our drop off at Hoedspruit airport for our flight to Cape Town
An unforgettable experience and I have recommended Wild Planet Safari to my friends and colleagues

Lucas is a very knowledgeable caring and patient person that made my African Safari dreams come true
I’ve been a nature photographer hobbyist for most of my life. Photographing wildlife in the Okavango Delta had always been a dream of mine. When I finally got my chance to go, I was extremely nervous. Would I even see the animals? And what about the lighting for the perfect picture? Lucas made my dreams come true! Lucas knows the animals! He is there with them so often, he knows where to find them. He was so aware of the lighting on the animals for photography I never had to mention it. He would position the vehicle perfectly to get the shots. He was extremely careful and patient with the animals. And above all, he was patient with me. He always checked with me to make sure I got my shot before leaving a site. I love Lucas!
AWESOME
My Family and I were so impressed by the diplomacy and the timely manner they handled our tour visit from Nairobi to Mombasa and all the way to Masai Mara.
They booked the air tickets for us at a better rate than what we found online.
Also guided and found good hotels for us and even negotiated for better rates.
Every destination we got to, we found a driver and well maintained vehicle ready waiting for us and still ensured we got back from the hotel to the airport promptly.
RELIABLE TOURS CO. was the best choice we made.

Patrick is professional, friendly, passionate and absolutely the best in the business.
My mother, brother, a friend and me climbed the Kilimanjaro in February 2023. Without Patrick and his amazing team we would have never made it to the summit. Patrick and his team made it their mission to get us to the top safely! Absolute heroes to us!

Professional and Expert Guides!
Lion King was absolutely fantastic! From day 1 they were extremely communicative and flexible when developing our itinerary. Our guide was Shafino, who was an absolute professional and expert guide. He took us to 3 different national parks over 6 days and was great company the entire time. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals, birds, and plants. He knew exactly where animals would be and could predict how they would act, which always put us in the best position for photos. On several occasions Shafino moved ahead of other guides because he knew what the animal was likely to do, demonstrating his knowledge. If you are into birding, Shafino is your guide! He has experience working with birders and could spot even the smallest bird while driving down a dusty road, amazing!
If you are looking for a safari company, Lion King Adventures is it! They prioritize quality professional and expert guides over quantity. Shafino was our guide, but throughout the trip we talked with other Lion King clients and employees and found that everyone had enjoyed their experience and all the guides were professionals.

Amazing experience!
We had a wonderful time in South Africa with Khalanga Safaris! We did a 6 days tour with Panorama route. Sadly, the weather wasn't on our side for the Panorama route but the safari was AMAZING! Our guide Donald was amazing at finding all the good spots for animal sighting, cooking us great meals, and answering all our questions. We did see all the Big Five and a lot more. Also, December is a good time of the year to see babies and we saw a lot!! Elephants, lions, hyenas, impalas, rhinos, etc.! We really enjoyed our trip, would 100% recommend!!
