Supportive
My husband and I booked our elopement/honeymoon with Lion King Adventures for our safari and we had an amazing time! Communication prior to the travel was super easy (even with a significant time they were so responsive!) we got all our questions asked and felt super comfortable and excited to embark on our trip. We had mentioned wanting to add in a specific elopement ceremony and they were super accommodating and really exceeded our expectations. Very reliable, supportive, minimized stress, and made our long journey to Tanzania so easy!

I’d give Claire 10 stars if the rating would let me!
Claire was quite simply wonderful from start to finish. She took the time to understand our requirements, made great recommendations and was super amenable to making changes when we wanted to tweak things. She was a pleasure to deal with at every turn. Communication was so easy and she was always responsive. The trip she helped us put together was absolutely the trip of a lifetime. Until we did it and now we can’t wait to do another one. She was so great at the personal touches and even checked in with us along the way to make sure it was all going to plan. If you’re looking for someone that’s the best in the biz, Claire is the one you need. She will be my first call when we put our next African safari together. Thank you so very much, Claire for everything. You were beyond brilliant!

Peter was fabulous - he made a huge effort to ensure our safety and enjoyment
We saw most of the big five today and thought it was great!
And some of the ugly five too!
We weren’t rushed and it was great to have spent the day with a great host - thanks Peter

Good
Very good communication with the tour operator. The safari was great, we went with Serengeti african safari and the guide, Asad was wonderful.We got to see the big 5 and many other animals Campsite’s public areas are dirty, showers ran out of hot shower. Sleeping tents are nice and comfortable, you get to hear animals during the night. They provide sleeping bags. The road at the natural parks is very bumpy and is a long way to the Serengeti as well as to the Ngorongoro from Arusha.

Reliable, responsive, overall good service
We did a 10-day safari with Sereland in Amboseli, Tarangeri and Serengeti. Rama and Mike took very good care of us throughout the trip.
Rama was an excellent and very experienced driver who knew the routes extremely well. He was also humorous and very knowledgeable about the animals, which made the game drives enjoyable and informative. We felt safe with him navigating on the bumpy road.
We originally booked the trip as a private group of four, but unfortunately, two members were unable to come due to family issues. Mike was patient and helpful in working with the accommodations to waive most of the cancellation fees, except for one hotel covering two nights, which we appreciated.
The revised pricing was one area we were less satisfied with. After the group changed from four people to two, the per-person cost increased significantly, mainly because the vehicle expense and service fees that had originally been shared among four people were now split between only two people.
We understood and accepted that those shared costs would effectively double on a per-person basis. However, after comparing the revised price with comparable two-person safari packages in the market, our final price was still roughly 11% above the market level. On top of that, we also had to absorb the cancellation charges for 2 nights.
Most of the hotels recommended by Mike were decent, with Amani as the only exception.
Overall, I would rate the service 9/10. Our main suggestion would be to improve the daily planning and routing so that more game drives take place in the early morning or late afternoon, when there is a better chance of seeing animal activity. On some days, we finished around 3–4 PM, and we felt the schedule could have been better optimized to make fuller use of the late afternoon. This may also require a better plan for the location of hotels.
Overall, we had a very good experience and appreciated the care and support from both Rama and Mike.
