Wild Wings Safaris - absolute perfection !
Wild Wings Safaris completely hit the spot with my intentions to visit South Africa.
As a solo traveler on a voyage of self discovery, decided on a last minute trip to connect with nature at Kruger safari, as well as soak up the city sights in Cape Town.
My rep (Michael Malan) put together the perfect itinerary, based on my specifications & took care of everything from end to end - all I had to do was rock up & enjoy the experience, which I certainly did.
A formidable & trustworthy company, who also presented great value for money.
I will not hesitate to re-book.... hopefully soon :)

An incredible experience that was great value for money
It was an amazing experience and we could not believe the value for money. We will recommend this trip to all our friends in Dubai. Richard and Albert were absolutely fantastic and were always punctual, informative and helpful ! I really cannot thank you and your staff enough. Everything was included in the price - accommodation, all meals (which were lovely), trips, entrance fees etc. The safari van was comfortable with plenty of stops along the way to stretch our legs. We also learned a lot about different types of animals etc.

Trip of a lifetime in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara!
Lion King Adventures was recommended by friends who lived in Arusha for many years and the 4-day camping safari was far better than I had imagined. Some of the most breathtaking scenery and so many animals – lions, elephants, hippos, a close encounter with a black rhino, and so much more! Our guide, David was an exceptional driver and found the best sites for viewing animals every day. Our chef, Yusufu, was a delight, supplying (too much) great food, and interesting conversation. The camp sites and tents were comfortable and very well organized. The extra bonus was the Olduvai Gorge Site Museum in the cradle of mankind . David and Yusufu made the trip a total success. I have already recommended Lion King Adventures to my co-workers back home.

Elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, wildebeest and so many more
My husband and I were in Tanzania for 1 week. The primary focus of our trip was a 6 day safari. We went to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Conservation Area/Crater, Serengeti National Park (2 days), and Lake Manyara National Park. We really enjoyed them all with the exception of Lake Manyara. In comparison to the other areas, it did not have as much wildlife. Tarangire had the most elephants. We saw two black rhinos from a distance while at Ngorongoro and while in the Serengeti we saw many lions, cheetahs, and two leopards. The wildebeest migration was more than I expected! I never knew there would be so many hippos! That was a surprise. There were also so many other animals and birds, which just made the trip.
The weather was fantastic. I was concerned that there would still be a lot of rain since we were arriving at the end of May. It only rained one of the nights we stayed overnight in the Serengeti and it really didn't impact our visit at all.
We stayed in lodges most nights, but while in the Serengeti we stayed in a tented camp and that was definitely a great experience. It brought us much closer to the wildlife. Everywhere we stayed was good to Excellent. There were a couple of places that were somewhat unusual to get to, but were definitely worth it once we arrived -Morona Hills Lodge and Escarpment Luxury Lodge; though Morona Hills Lodge didn't have enough hot water for showers.
If I changed anything about our trip, I would add another day to our time in the Serengeti and not do the day in Lake Manyara.

Top Cream manages clients perfectly and delivers the best bang for you buck on a Kenyan safari.
Top Cream did an excellent job of making my family and I feel at ease and supported while in Kenya! They made sure to discuss what was provided and made sure everyone was on the same page; even when our luggage was lost, Erastus worked tirelessly to retrieve it and get it back to us promptly. The management side of Top Cream is superb and willing to work with you on any concern. On the actual safari, we were even more blown away. David, our guide, was magnificent. He is incredibly knowledgable, on-task, and funny. We were amazed at every turn in each of the parks we visited. The accommodations lined up for us were excellent with absolutely zero complications. Even more, David understood my passion for birds, and would cater to my camera, keeping an eye out for the Big 5 as well as the odd bustard or stork. Kenya blew us away and we only have Top Cream to thank for making it all so seamless and perfect. I will hopefully be seeing them again shortly; absolute best bang for your buck on a Kenyan safari!

Well organized Safari tour
I‘ve requested several Safari tour providers. Tanzania Mwangaza was answering very fast(note your phone no. in the enquiry!).
We’ve booked a private safari with two persons for two days/one night. We were a little bit anxious because it was our first safari and we weren’t sure if everything would be working as planned(everyone who was in Africa before knows what I mean;)) They’ve sent someone to our hotel and he briefed us about the schedule and clarified everything with the payment. So we payed and if you don’t want to read everything further: We didn’t regret.
Mrs Mwajabu Sultan (CEO of Tanzania Mwangaza, according to LinkedIn) was assisting and caring all the time with daily WhatsApp updates about everything we wanted to know. She even texted me in the middle of the night if our driver has arrived for our pickup.
Our Driver Abeid was very nice, in time as planned and a good driver on the chaotic streets to the Mikumi Park.
Arrived in Mikumi we met our guide Bob and we startet the first park drive. He informed us about everything regarding the park and the animals we‘ve seen. He was in contact with all the other guides so we‘ve seen lots of animals. The next day he tried to show us the remaining animals on our „to see“-list. We‘ve not been disappointed.
I would highly recommend these guys! They are all really ambitious and organized. They are absolutely worth the price!
If you want to do a safari in the Mikumi National Park I would also recommend to go in June. We‘ve seen almost every animal on the chart within the two days. There were lots of zebras, giraffes, elephants, wildebeests, impallas, baboons and birds. At the waterholes we‘ve found hippos and crocodiles. There was a lion (unfortunately just one) and even a juvenile leopard!

What a great way to spend a 50th Birthday - a fabulous 12 day safari in Tanzania
We have just come back from a wonderful 12 day safari in Tanzania booked via Amazing Memories Safari's using a guide from Migada Adventures Ltd.
It was absolutely fabulous. We went for my husband's 50th Birthday with two great friends of ours (Karl and Jill) and I'm going to be honest it was mainly Karl we have to thank for most of the organisation. We came back from another trip and he produced a proposed itinerary and we said 'perfect! book it' so we did.
All the communication we had with Anne before the trip was really good. Emails were answered very promptly along with any queries that we had – about visa’s, tipping, change of itinerary etc – she was great ensuring that all our concerns were sorted and answered.
We sorted out our own flights so the 'safari' started when we were picked up in Arusha by our guide, Santos, who looked after us throughout our 12 days. We travelled to many destinations over the 12 days - Ngorongoro, Serengeti North, Serengeti Central, Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Arusha staying is some really wonderful lodges (Serena and Sopa groups).
Ngorongoro Serena Lodge – wonderful accommodation. Bedrooms with the double doors and a patio over looking the Ngorongoro Crater – absolutely wonderful. An elephant came on to camp and we spent a few hours observing him going about his day – just fabulous!
We booked an ‘extra’! Sundowners on the crater rim on the eve of my husband’s 50th Birthday – in the photos it looks very serene, calm and peaceful with cocktails etc. In reality for us it was windy and freezing but still with the most spectacular views – that’s was you get for being born at the end of May! We had a great little team who served us warm canapes and chilled (extra chilled as it was so cold!) gin and tonics whilst the sun went down. Just fabulous! We had the best time wrapped in our Masai blankets

Personally I received an exemplary hospitality and customer care, beyond my expectations
AJ Trips tour has got a standard and reliable communication system. I started to communicate with them three months prior my visit to Ngorongoro, Tanzania. All the time they were active till the day i arrived at J.K Nyerere Airport. They offered me a comfortable transport and affordable accommodation. They later introduced me to another adventure to visit Magoroto forest reserve which was out of my schedule, i had an incredible time at that forest and no regrets at all. The services that I received from AJ Trips was beyond my expectations, i had little confidence with them because it was my first experience with them but at the end of my vacation they real proved my perceptions wrong.
Bravo AJTrips
