Anthony of Tazama Africa holidays arranged the best wildlife experience for us. It met all expectati
Anthony and his Masai guide,Charles, gave us the best safari experience we had hoped for. Sopa lodges in lake Nakuru and Masai were very good. Being a vegetarian, it was heartwarming to get Indian vegetarian food, which made the stay feel homely and welcoming. The vehicle given was fit for photography safari,which was what we went there for,apart from experiencing the whole wildlife package. We came away very satisfied

Experience with Lion King Adventures
We had to finalize everything in less than one week, and the team of Anna Smith and Wilbard made sure that we were able to pull this off. Both Anna and Wilbard were available 24X7 to help us plan the itinerary, finalize the hotels, and assure us that everything would go well. Not only this, Wilbard’s expert advice that we skip Western Serengeti and spend two days in the Northern Part was beneficial and shows that they know what they are talking.
Everything from our drive to hotels was immaculate. All the hotels were as planned; check-in took minimal time because of Lion King and our movement and transition from one hotel to another and one part of the Serengeti to the second was flawless. We can never forget Anna’s calm demeanor and support she provided us.
We truly believe we could not have chosen a better Travel Company.
We had the Best Guide – my friend Saleh
We spent seven days of the Safari with Saleh as our driver, guide, and now a friend. He has a pleasant personality and is an honest, kind, humble, and trustworthy human being. He is very professional, carries a great passion for his work, and leaves no stone un-turned to make sure that the client gets the best of the experience during the safari.
We saw all the big five during our safari, Mara River crossing and also saw Lion going for a kill that is a rare sight. He has an excellent eye for spotting animals, experience of animal behavior, and encyclopedic knowledge of African Birds. We were always in the right place at the right time because of which we never missed any action. We would not have been possible without our guide friend Saleh.
Learning – Safari is all about the Travel Company you choose and the guide you go with. We are so happy that we went with Lion King Adventures and Saleh as our guide.
I really thank Anna Smith, Wilbard, James and Saleh for making this an experience of our lives.

Thank you so much Lion King!
We did the 7 day migration Safari with Lion King. It took a long time to decide on a company to choose and in the end chose Lion King Adventures. We are so so glad we did. Pre safari the contact was great. Nothing was a problem, no question to silly. The organised transport to get us to Arusha. The price included soft drinks, water and a beer each lunch time. Such a nice touch! The accomodation organised was absolutely incredible. Ozzi was our guide and he was incredible. A great sense of humour, great english, very cautious and respectful and nothing was ever a problem, he was willing to do anything (almost) to ensure we had the best safari experience. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures and will be recommending them to everyone we know coming to Tanzania to do a Safari and hopefully we will be back one day! Thanks Lion King!

An unforgettable trip in Tazania
About 3 months ago, I planned this trip with 3 other families. I searched on the net, then I found AfricaKukaye and others. I sent several emails to talk about the trip. I was impressed by Remsi, the trip advisor of AfricaKukaye. He individualized our trip, gave us a better price, and many good advices. Then we have this trip.
We have had a great journey in Tanzania mainland in about 9 days, traveling from Kilimanjaro slope, driving through the great 3 national parks - including Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and most exciting Serengeti - and lodging beside the great Victory Lake. This is a long and tough journey for us and especially for our children, had not been with the team from AfricaKukaye. They are really experts of safari. We saw everything we were intending to see. We had a very good appetite for our chef's food. We experienced pure African local culture by visiting Chaaga village, Maasai village and a fishing community. We all have learned so much. And children have broaden their minds in this trip, in geology, animal biology, culture, language, and more.
Thank you, Remsi. many thanks to AfricaKukaye. Asunte Sana!

Far surpassed our expectations:)
I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience working with Red Africa Safari has been. They have been extremely communicative and attentive since the very first email, thoroughly answering all of my questions (even the seemingly small and trivial ones) almost immediately. Not only did they provide me with options for the tour but they worked with every request I made making his a truly unique and customized experience for my family and I. It really took the stress out of trying to arrange such a tremendous experience with little to no knowledge about the area on my part and allowed me to focus on the excitement instead. It was well worth every single penny and by the end of everything I found it to be quite affordable considering all of the accommodations, travel, dining, tours, sights, I mean, the list goes on and on, I feel like I found the deal of the century. I am not typically a "tour" person, I tend to prefer the more independent way of traveling as it feels like you have more control, but this didnt feel like one of those "cattle drive" tours, in fact, by the end of it, our guide Jaco felt like an old friend on vacation with us. He even got me a birthday gift, how thoughtful is that!!! Not only was he personable and friendly to be around, but his knowledge gave the experience a whole new angle. Yes it is beautiful, but it is so much more than that, and without him we never would have had the opportunity to to learn the things we did and see more than just a pretty view. We did absolutely everything we wanted, PLUS some extra stops and never once felt rushed. For that, I cant thank him enough. He even ensured we made our return flight and handled our bags. WOW!! Obviously the game drives and landscapes were amazing but if you're considering this tour I'm sure you already know that so I won't ramble on and on. What I will do is highly recommend this tour operator, you will not be disappointed. It has completely changed my opinion of guided tours and I dont think my trip to South Africa would have been the same without it. Thanks again Jaco!!

Excellent driver and guide but the Agency changed 4 out 7 of our hotels, lots of extra driving time!
Our driver and guide was the best! He was very informative in all areas of Uganda’s history, wildlife, people, etc., and of Africa in general. He took into consideration all of our needs and wishes. His safari driving was excellent and he knowledge of the fauna and flora superb. Unfortunately, the Pinnicle agency changed 4 out of 7 hotel destinations and not all of them the same high standard we had paid for. They gave us NO explanation as to why. These changes caused us to spend AT LEAST 12 or MORE HOURS DRIVING ON PRIMARILY UNPAVED ROADS (NOT PLEASANT) AND MISSING OUT ON OUR FINAL NIGHT TIME GAME DRIVE! Needless to say we were disappointed
Uganda is a beautiful country, the people friendly, and the wildlife spectacular. A place to visit again! With the same driver but not organized by Pinnicle Africa Safaris

The best experience ever! Mamasavana above all expectations.
From the initial planning to the end, our experience with Mamasavana was perfect: me and family (husband+daughter 16 y.o.) decided to do 5 days safari and 7 days beach. The price John quoted for the package was very reasonable and it definitely worth the money!
John proposed a travel program listening to our needs and expectations and changed it several times patiently to satisfy all our requests. He always responded promptly and with great willingness to all our questions and doubts. We went on safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha, Amboseli and Taita Hills: each park has something unique, we could see lots of animals (the big five, birds, elephants -the red ones too- giraffes Masaai and Rothschild, etc etc). Also the lodges that Mamasavana proposed to us were above expectations: beautiful places to stay, each one different and special, with very good services and food.
Our guide, our driver Hillaj immediately was amazingly in synch with us. His great experience made ours unforgettable. He fulfilled every request (within limits!), proposed additional activities, took us where we could see real life in Kenya and where we could help the locals. He always had a lot to tell about animals, plants, environment, and also culture and customs of Kenyans. Every day was intense, unique, exciting, adventurous, touching, unforgettable.
As planned, after safari we went to Diani Sea Resort: it has a very big and beautiful garden, the rooms are cozy and clean, staff is helpful and friendly, and food is good. John put us in touch with a couple of his collaborators at Diani Beach, so we could arrange a day trip to Wasini Island, a beautiful marine reserve.
So EVERYTHING was perfect with Mamasavana: a journey like this is an experience to do at least once in your life, facing it with "pole pole” and enthusiasm, patience, curiosity, humility and respect towards such a beautiful country and people. Mamasavana has been above our expectations and we highly recommend it. Thanks Mamasavana, jambo!

Excellent service and experience
Seth always communicated with us and gave us all the necessary information that we needed. The tour lived up to expectations and more. Seth gave us complete professionalism in all services he provided us with. The safari was amazing, getting to see so many animals with the incredible help from our knowledgeable guide, Godfrey. The cook, also named Godfrey, was also great, providing us with delicious meals everyday. They were both happy all the time and made our experience truly unforgettable. Thank you Seth for helping us have the best safari with the best possible people, we feel so lucky.
