Professional and flexible
I can only highly reccomend Lion King. From the initial conversations via email about the safari organization, up to the actual three day trip,everything went very well. Edi, our guide was very well prepared and professional. He took good care of us and also took the time to explain a lot of things we were seeing . We also had fun together and listened to good music . Karim, our chef, was also very attentive, warm, and prepared delicious food .
I general also a lot of local people confirmed to us that lion king is a good company that takes good care of both their employees and clients. Highly reccoemnded !

Tanzania Choice Safaris is excellent!
Touring with Tanzania Choice Safaris was a truly amazing experience. From the pickup at Arusha to the national parks tours and accommodation, the Mto Wa Mbu village tour and the drop off at the airport, the service was seamless with excellent communication. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and would gladly recommend this company to anyone who wants to have the best experience in Tanzania.

awesome communication, works with you to find the best package as possible, great operator
I have never expected that I will get the great vacation with this operator. He worked with my short vacation, being a solo traveler. Great communication, prompt response on all my questions, helped to puck the best time for me to go on safari. I don't enjoy heat and humidity. I felt very safe there even being a solo female traveler. Everything was exactly as described. Shuttle to the lodge and lodge were great. I like the stuff at the lodge. Very courteous and friendly. Very good selection and taste of food at the lodge, cooked to order. Amazing nights with bonfire at the lodge. Game driver was awesome. I got lucky to see all 5 big and 5 ugly at the safari besides other animals. Tour guide for panoramic view was very friendly and courteous. He showed more interesting places than I expected. I made a lot of photos. I had one of the best vacations of my life.

Beautiful nature and stay in camp is an amazing experience.
We stayed 2 nights in a camp and did the whole day drive, boat trip during sunset, bush walk a local village visit. The whole experience, from the flight that we took from Zanzibar, through the stay in the camp, dinners, sleeping, showering, to the boat and car, meeting thousands of beautiful animals (elephants, antilopes, girrafes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, lions…), many absolutely nice people from the staff, together made unforgetable beautiful memories and best holiday ever.

Amazing! the trip of a livetime!!
Overall the experience was breathtaking. We were surprised by how friendly everyone was, and the scenery is overwelming. It is an underdeveloped country in many ways, but they know how to make the most of the amazing scenery they have.
The camps were very well organized, and eventhough many things can happen, we always felt secure.
Do not expect 5 star hotel experience, it is more about enjoying the wild life and the landscapes, but still the hotels are more than acceptable, the food is good and the people are amazing!!

Best team ever
My friend and I decided to do the safari with this company and everything was great. They helped us a lot with everything from the first moment till the last one. Also, they are super nice people. In conclusion, if I come back, I will come back to them.

Wonderful trip, my highlight of East Africa
I had a 3 day stay in Uganda to trek Gorillas and Sander was very helpful organising trip and advising points of interest on route to Bwindi. He even gave a packing list which was very useful!
From the minute I landed my guides Lamson and Nelco made me feel welcome, safe and entertained. They were full of local knowledge and there was never a dull moment! They liased with gorilla trek guide to anticipate how long hike would take and arranged a community walk when we returned (would highly recommend doing this if going to Uganda, Bwindi in particular) Trip ran very smoothly and we also visited Equater line and lake Victoria. So happy I chose Grassrootz as my first stop in East Africa, 3 days was just long enough to realise I could have spent much longer there! I have already recommended this company to friends who are interested in same trip.
One thing to consider is small notes for tips. Everything included in grassrootz but you may want to tip gorilla guide/ porters/ leave donation if visiting local school ect. Grassrootz also work with local charities if bringing clothes/ school supplies/ medicine ect
