Absolutely brilliant, He is a profession in his career
Gerald Wangui aka Mr. Geeman gave us a tour to remember, gave us the best tour ever. He was always on time, very informative, answered all our questions and his knowledge about the park and game drive is amazing. He treated us with much respect and much love and humor, solved all our queries and I must say that he's a Top tier in his field. Would wish to have him again in our future travel. 5 stars all the way

A beautiful and unforgettable experience! Everything went above our expectations
The four day Safari was a wonderful experience.
Our guide, Khalif, is amazing. If you want to have an unforgettable experience he is the one. We started from Nairobi and drive all the way to the Masai Mara reserve. The vehicle is a pretty new Land Crusier, very confortable and that will look awesome in your photos. We stopped at the rift valley where we got to see some damans. We had lunch at the Masai Mara Sopa Lodge and then we did our first game drive. Khalif has been doing this for years, he knows the park by heart and he is very friendly with the tribes leaving around, other guides and park guards. He took us to the best stops to see lions, giraffes, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, hienas and many more wild animals. We ended with an outstanding view of the sunset and headed back to the hotel for dinner and rest. The hotel is very nice, they welcome you with a fruit juice and all meals are buffet. The room looked very cleaned and they prepared it with mosquito nets, it felt quite safe, we came in January and there were not many mosquitos. The second day we woke up quite early and headed for a full day drive game that started with the sunrise. We saw so many animals, and so close. We even had a lion laying out next to our car looking for a shadow. In total we did see more than 30 lions in the whole trip, no kidding, even small cute simbas. We only brought our phone camaras and wow the photos we could took are amazing. Although if you have a camera with deeper zoom better bring it with you. The third day we visit a Massai tribe, the leader took us around and explained our culture. They show us some of their tradicional dances and they even invited to join us. The leader welcomed us inside his home and meet his family. It is very interesting to learn about this humble culture and totally worth the visit. After that we headed to Lake Nakuru and we did our first game drive there in the afternoon. We got to experience several white rhinos and a huge amount of zebras crossing in front us.
Khalif knows a lot about the animals, and he guessed correctly at what time and exact location the rhinos would be crossing so we got the perfect photo. The second hotel is also pretty nice, although we liked more the first. The cool about this ones is that it has amazing views of the park and the lake. If you are lucky as us you might get a room with a full window wall and a terrace looking into the nature, you can even see some animals from there. For our last day we headed to an early morning game drive were we got to see flamingos, more lions and a lot others. Warthogs look so funny.
Honestly when looking for a safari we did not know which to choose and we were afraid to get scammed. But we could not be more happy with the outcome. We felt totally safe during the whole trip, the planning was as described and the whole trip was way more incredible than expected. So I would totally recommend Lenchada tours for anyone that wants to do a Safari in Kenia. If you can choose to go with Khalif better, he will ensure you have fun, you learn a lot, you get to see animals very close and you enjoy the full experience.

Lion king adventures safaris : marvellous experience
We have had a wonderful safari. We hesitated to choose for lion king safaris as they were a little more expensive than other organisations. However, they are worth every dollar : we had warm lunch every day (called hampa : warm food kept in thermo and stored with the cutlery in a big picnic bag), cars are very good with chargers, tires are not worn (important for the gravel rocky roads to and in Serengeti), all kind of drinks stored in a cooler, red and white wine with a personalized label and message, the communication with mail and whatsapp was very fast and last but not least the great guide Gilbert. Gilbert is very knowledgeable about the animals, he spots them from far far away, he anticipates so well the behaviour of the animals so that we were always at the right spot. It was a marvellous experience for our family.

Good contact, quick response and everything was well organized.
We had booked a safari with Explorer Kenya Tours & Travel. From 23 to 26 January we visited 3 parks Amboseli, Tsavo West and East. We had a fantastic safari, especially because we had Simon as our guide. He is a very calm patient driver. He has a lot of knowledge and an eye for detail, nothing was too much to ask. We can highly recommend the safari with Simon as a guide.

The BEST
There may be many sites that you could choose from to have a holiday of a lifetime but safari bookings.com sorted everything out with ease and consistency keeping us updated and informing us of everything that we needed. An excellent service.
Phenomenal
This trip was a dream come true. From the game drives, to the accommodations, to the cuisine. Everything was seamless. I’ll be praying for the day I can return.

Friendly, helpful and reliable
My girlfriend and I went on a 4 days safari with Kitau Safaries and it was a once in a lifetime experience. We saw animals non-stop (including the big five). We couldn’t have wished for a better guide than Joseph. He has a lot of experience, which comes with a lot of knowledge. He was also respectful of the animal by not rushing into them and keeping a distance, unless the animals themselves came to us, which happened often. He was very friendly throughout the trip and likes having a good time.
The coordinator, Ramadhani was extremely helpful throughout the planning of our trip and was always just a text away to organize anything for us such has transport and accommodation. We would definitely recommend booking with them for your safari adventure!!

Super awesome
I hiked Mt. Meru with Burigi Chato! The trip with them was so smooth! Geoffrey answered my queries on time and he’s very informative. My Guide Isack was very knowledgeable and reliable too. The staff were all amazing especially Mustafa and Rama! I couldn’t have hiked the summit of Meru without them!
Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience and a wonderful guide!
Our trip with Lion King is the best experience in our life! The reservation worked really smoothly, we got great information, quick answers and it was a really good communication. Our lodges were well prepared when we got there. The accommodation, service and food were great.
Our guide Shafino was so amazing! He knows so much of all the animals, from small to big ones, not just what kind of animal it is, but also everything about them. We also learned so much from him about the nature amd culture of Tanzania.
He spotted a lot of animals that we would never have seen without him. He was patient and helped us with all our questions.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Shafino!
We really recommend Lion king and our guide Shafino!
