Wonderful!
This trip was for 3... my husband, myself and our adult daughter. We had an amazing experience! Our safari far exceeded expectations! Our guide, Solehe, was fantastic. He had an amazing ability to find animals, and to get us the best view possible! We saw the Big 5... any many more.
The accommodations were top notch! The food was very good!
The crew at Lion King are very easy to work with, and very responsive to our questions. From the first contact to the end of our safari.
It is hard to know how to choose a safari company, from far away, and with little knowledge of how the safari's work. I am so very glad I found and chose Lion King. They are personable and willing to work with you to create the experience of a lifetime!
We visited Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park and Lake Manyara National Park.
Amazing, Wonderful, Fantastic!

Review about Madikwe Game Reserve by Amanda Detmer
We had an incredible time! Madikwe is the perfect place to go to see a lot of animals in a peaceful manner. It’s not overcrowded; you only see a few other game cars while on the drives which is nice because it may only be you and the animals at times. We saw at least 10 different animals and even group of female lions eating on a zebra! Everyone at Madikwe is incredibly friendly with lots of knowledge on the reserve, it’s history, and the animals. We stayed at the Bush Lodge, and it was an incredible experience. I strongly recommend staying with the Bush family. They are very warm welcoming and professional. The weather in the month of May was great; chilly in the mornings and evenings, but it was bearable with a jacket and pants. Middays were perfect! We had a great time at Madikwe through SafariWithUs bookings.

Wouldn't change a thing about my experience - wonderful!
I am very much into animals so the wildlife experience in Madikwe was beyond amazing. My transport driver was such a great tour guide on just the ride there and back - he was soooo knowledgeable about all the various local people. Such an educational and interesting man. I stayed at Bush House in Madikwe which was amazing. The people are so nice and helpful and the food!!! I am vegan and they totally accomodated my diet with the most delicious food! (This after I had spent 8 days at a rhino rescue then another 3 in Kruger where it was total miss with the volunteer portion and hit / miss in Kruger.) The bed was so comfortable and the grounds just beautiful. Truly one of the most wonderful experiences (and I've had many) of my life.

Well organized and curated
We did the 3 day 2 nights camping safari. We visited Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and did a Maasai Village Walk with local lunch.
I have to say they did an amazing job planning the safari! They organized everything and were very accommodating with our late pick-up and early drop-off. We had an amazing safari driver and the camp we stayed at was extremely clean and well cared for!
We saw all the animals we wanted to see and then some, so I am throughly satisfied with the service. I highly recommend booking with this company!!!

Fantastic, life changing adventure
Wild Wings were superb throughout our whole safari experience in Kruger. Gavin provided a fantastic schedule and talked us through the different options available before we booked. The communication in advance was superb and everything was so clear. The whole tour far exceeded our expectations from being picked up at the airport to being dropped back at the airport. Our tour guide, Nicky was superb in every way with so much detail on every drive and provided us a real in depth insight to the park and everything with in it. The accommodation was fantastic and the night time dinners were amazing, the quality of food provided was incredible and it was all local food. Wild Wingers were brilliant and when we do another safari we will only choose Wild Wings.

Excellent , memorable lifetime safari.
Our five days Queen Elizabeth national Park and kibale forest national park safari was amazing. The driver-guide of kibale tours had an incredible knowledge of animals during morning and evening game drives and bird-life and are so interesting to talk to. Early afternoon , we had a boatcruise on kazinga channel crossing two lakes with a boat , amazing experience . The driving skills through lashing rain and massive puddles were admirable as we travelled to kibale forest for the next day's chimpanzee trekking. Arriving at Rweteera safari park , excellent welcome by the staff , good weather at the lake, sounds of birds from the forest , served with welcoming Juice. The cooks managed to produce varied and delicious/ yummy meals from the kitchen , we ate either at camp in the evenings, or roadside when we were travelling from one place to the other. At all times we felt safe and well-looked after. All in all, an incredible experience, due not only to the abundance of wildlife we were lucky enough to see, but also to the great efforts of kibale tours .
I highly recommend Travellers to plan with kibale tours for their uganda safari.
Even five stars too small

Wonderful lifetime safari.
Our six days trip was amazing. The driver/guide had an incredible knowledge of animal and bird-life and are so interesting to talk to. His driving skills through lashing rain and massive puddles was admirable! The cooks managed to produce varied and delicious meals from the kitchen, which we ate both at accommodation or roadside when we were travelling from one place to another . At all times we felt safe and well-looked after. All in all, an incredible experience, due not only to the abundance of wildlife we were lucky enough to see, but also to the great efforts put to have our Safari a better one .
The safari was full of fun. Traveling with ngoni safaris is my life time memorable experience and I highly recommend it to travellers who would love to visit uganda or EastAfrica for holidays, vacations or Adventure..
Even five stars are too small .

Quinton was the best guide!
We had Quinton Conroy as one of several guides on our African adventures. Quinton was with us in Cape Town and Kruger National Park.
He was by far the best guide we had. He was organized, efficient and really knew his flora and fauna as well as the people of the area. He would brief us the night before so we always knew what to expect the next day. There were no questions or requests he couldn't handle. You couldn't ask for a better guide.
