Perfect Safari with Soul of Tanzania
We just came back from our safari through the parks in the North of Tanzania: Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyase, Ngoro Ngoro Crater, Central and Northern Serengeti.
I was travelling with my family, and it was the first safari experience for my 2 kids, aged 13 and 14.
It has been a stunning experience.
After some research we decided to go for the proposal of Soul of Tanzania, and we can only recommend this safari company.
Our guide, Dominique, was top-class: very knowledgeable, attentive to our needs, very experienced and an expert and careful driver, always willing to look for the best spot to view the cats or a river crossing.
The itinerary was very well designed, not too tiring and with a variety of landscapes.
The proposal to fly back from northern Serengeti instead of driving has proved to be a very good choice.
The accommodation resulted in a perfect mix of permanent camps, lodges and mobile camps, which was exactly what we were looking for. We particularly loved Chaka Mobile Camp in Northern Serengeti: unforgettable!
The hot lunches served every day during the game drives were much appreciated: we always were offered a wide choice of excellent food, and we were using steel dishes and cutlery, which were not only nice, but also are not producing tons of waste like the lunch boxes many other safari companies are providing.
At first I was a bit sceptical about the proposal to meet the tribes at Lake Eyase, we were in Tanzania for the wildlife and I was scared we would end up seeing something really just set up for tourists. After having met the Hadzabe, I must admit that it was just like entering in a time machine.
The wildlife we encountered in the parks just left us speechless: not only the big cats, but also the hundreds of flamingos and pelicans in Lake Manyara, the hyppos fighting for the territory, the thousands of wildebeests crossing the Mara River and the crocodiles hunting for them.
We enjoyed every second of our trip to Tanzania.

Unforgettable trip to Kenya - Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru
I had a chance to return to Kenya after 17 years thanks to Sachin from Mowgli Expeditions putting together a 6 day trip to the Mara and Lake Nakuru. He did a great job on picking a package that was heavy on wildlife viewing (which matters most to me) and light on the wallet. A fun bunch of us thoroughly enjoyed our time - wildlife viewing was breathtaking. Accommodation and food was good - especially at Nakuru. I strongly recommend that Mowgli Expeditions plan your next trip to Africa.

Great guide, unorganized office
We had no problem booking and paying for the safari (4 days). There was a lot of lack of communication with when the guide was getting us but once we came (which was earlier then we were told) he was amazing! His name is Dixon, he was knowledgeable, fun, always on time and knew the ins and out of where to be!
The issue arised when we were waiting at a park gate and we were told they sent Dixon the wrong invoice number and it could be a couple hour wait until they sent him the right one (this apparently happens a lot with different companies). We payed with our own Visa and were told they would reimburse us when we got back into Arusha. Once back in Arusha it was a horrible experience trying to get our money back as they were out office. Needless to say, we got our money back but definitely had issues with communication with the office. Our guide MADE our safari!

Experiência maravilhosa
My mother and I booked a 5 nights-4 days safari with Lion King Adventures with this itinerary: Lake Manyara (1 day, 1 night), Serengeti (2 days, 2 nights), Ngorongoro (1 day, 1 night) and Mt Kilimanjaro (1 day). Everything was easily arranged with owners James (via WhatsApp Messenger) and Anna (via e-mail). The price, in my opinion, was excellent, even though it was high season (August). By negotiating directly with them, they offered me a good discount, and also accepted credit card. Our safari experience was excellent. The vehicle provided (a Toyota Land Cruiser with refrigerator for drinks, like juice, water or local beer) and the food choices for lunch (normal or vegetarian) were outstanding. Also, our driver/ranger Oswald (also known as Ozzy) was a really nice guy, always smiling and having a positive attitude towards everything. He found all the animals we wanted to see and had really good control of the car (the roads are very bad, so the driver is tested at all times). We easily spotted the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino) and had lots of fun with Ozzy’s jokes. By the way, having a fun and prepared driver is essential, as you’ll be spending a lot of time with him/her on the course of the days. That’s why I recommend that if you’re planning on booking a safari with Lion King, ask for Ozzy to be your driver. I guarantee you won’t regret it! During our safari, there was only one slight problem with our hotel in Arusha, but this problem was quickly solved after I contacted James by WhatsApp – he is always ready to help you if you need. To sum it up: if you’re looking for a good safari experience in northern Tanzania, go with Lion King Adventures.

Gorilla Trekking- My Dream Trip
Gorilla trekking coupled with time in the Serengeti- a dream trip! The wildlife along with wonderful guides- not to mention the good food & South African wine were splendid! The tented camps in the Serengeti set the scene for truly being away from the stress of life. The mountains of Rwanda- the home of the mountain gorillas- completed the trip. The Five Volcanoes Lodge was the perfect setting for "base camp". Our guides got us to the the areas of the very famous families of gorillas. I had the time of my life on this trip. Thanks to "Journeys Discovering Africa Limited" for helping me fulfill this crazy dream!

Great safari experience
This 3 days and 2 nights tour in the Maasai Mara was such a great trip. From the planning to the entire experience Peter went above and beyond to make sure this was an enjoyable Safari.
Though faced with some unforeseeable delays once on site (weather conditions not allowing the arrival day afternoon game drive, vehicle breakdown...) our guide and driver John also went above and beyond to make sure that we had an excellent trip. We got our BIG 5 within a few hours (we were lucky with that one) and got to see so much more of the wildlife in the Mara along with a very interesting visit in a Masai village.
Overall great experience. Hats off to to Peter and the team at Africa Flash Mc Tours

Beautiful white beaches and clear blue sky with fluffy white clouds.
We have just returned from the trip of a lifetime! Thanks to this travel company and our agent, our custom-designed 13 day tour of Uganda was perfect. We easily followed the instructions in our travel packet, our tickets and vouchers were organized and accepted everywhere, every guide and driver was on time and extremely knowledgeable, and the recommended hotels and restaurants met our very high expectations. It’s worth noting, also, that just mentioning our travel company, or simply the name of our agent, seemed to make our providers stand up straighter and work a little harderWe thank this company and out agent for everything. We will not hesitate to recommend this travel company to anyone who wishes to travel to Uganda
