Journey through Tanzania with Lion King Adventures
I'm writing this review from the beautiful hotel Maru Maru in Zanzibar. My experience with Lion King has been fantastic. First, Anna, Lion King Adventure' s trip planner was helpful, reliable and informative. She got back to me quickly whenever I had a question and made me totally confident that Lion King was highly professional and reliable. Second, our driver and guide, George Munge, was fantastic! He had extensive training in and knowledge about the animals and habitat of Tanzania. He was an excellent driver in really tough terrain and knew the National Parks extremely well. He always did everything possible to make our safari experience incredible. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife. On top of all this he is a Massai senior warrior and he was very generous in sharing stories of growing up in his Massai village. I couldn't have had a more conscientious and helpful guide. Last the hotels and other accommodations Lion King chose for us were fantastic full of character, comfortable and with excellent service.

A beatiful experience, due to guide's professionalism and to accomodation in high level lodges
We spent 4 unbelivable days, seeing a lot of animals, many unforgottable savana sights and also meeting local polulations ( Masai and other native africans peoples ), that made our safari very complete. A special thanks to our guide Peter and of course to Roberto that organized evrerything in a perfect way.

Everyone was very nice and the trip went perfectly.
The trip was the best trip I have ever been on. Everyone we met was super outgoing and you could tell they love what they do. The safaris that we went on were amazing and we got to see so many animals. Our guide, Chiba was able to see animals from super far away and he always got us the best view. Our guides on Kilimanjaro knew exactly what they were doing and they made the hike as fun and easy as possible.

Exceptional and the best ever
We had a 7 day safari with Wildbeest Safari's. Everything was organised with care and dedication into the smallest detail. We truly enjoyed Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha. We didn't have to worry about thing. Geoffrey, our guide, took care of everything with a big smile. He followed up to our smallest wishes. But he is also an experienced game spotter. We saw the wild life to the fullest extend. This was really a 100 % success thanks to the management of Wildebeest Safari's and Geoffrey. If you in doubt of which safari company to use, you can't go wrong with Wildebeest Safari's.

tour with individual touch
At first we had nice email contact with Sven who was very sensitive about our wishes. We did not want to visit all parcs in a few days, just wanted to see the gorillas and to come in contact with the local community. He composed a trip for us and we really enjoyed it. We did a walking tour in Kampala with a young Ugandan woman and another great tour in the lake Bunyoni area. It was absolutly fabulous. Our driver Moses was a nice guy, but not talkative. In Lake Mburo NP we made a stoppover in Eagels Nest ( amazing!) and during safari Moses showed enthusiasm and we had a lot of fun with him. Here we also did a Mountainbike tour. At first we were disappointwd because we did not go into the parc and stayed outside but later we realised that we had good luck. We were just we two and had a great young guide who showed us animals, his home, an orphants house ... Another group (23 people!) had gone to the parc and swallowed the dust...
Sven also organised the pick up from the airport and the guesthouses in Entebbe and Kampala. They were both well situated and comfortable.
At least Sven wanted to get feedback and visited us in our guesthouse in Kampala. This was great and we really would recommend him as your travel consultant.

Great organization and great service
I booked this safari last minute during a very busy period as the situation presented itself. Rochelle was very kind and helpful - fast & informative email exchange, all questions answered and doing some thinking for you. I love this kind of customer service :-)
She was a major factor in booking with Kruger Park Tours. Good decision, the safari was excellent, very well organized and the accomodation & food surpassed expectations. I was also happy with the staff and guides throughout.
Overall I really recommend this company for excellent customer service and an amazing safari we are all looking for when we come onto this website.
Thanks Rochelle!

Having a great safari depends on patience, time and... a great guide like Amos!
What can I say? I just can't wait to figure out when I'll be back again...
Our highlights would be:
* Safari Multiways - the friendliness and willingness to help of Romeo ("the big boss") and its workers, the passion of our guide Amos while working, the super tasty food of Dogo...
* 6 day camping safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) - the luck of watching how a family of lions hunted, watching the sunrise and the sunset in the Serengeti, seeing a leopard having its breakfast on top of a tree, the zebras chewing right next to our tent in the night, the hyena's howl, the stunningly beautiful sights everywhere and the huge difference between each and every park, being incredibly close to wild animals such as lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, cheetahs, baboons, gazelles, antelopes, etc.
The affordability of their tour was a big plus (because at the end, most of the companies offer almost the same but, in my case I rather raising up my costs by giving it in tips generously to the ones that will take care of me those days), but I would also like to mention that you may feel the lower cost compared to others in things like having a tent in worse condition than others around you or the quality and size of the chairs and table we use for eating... But the minuses weren't many neither too important.
We wanted to make an special mention to Amos, the greatest guide ever, never lazy, always adventurous and professional who really wanted to make our experience a unique one! Unfortunately, we got a guide change for the last day and we really felt the difference, no one like Amos! Make sure you read some reviews about the guides and try to find out yours before you come! It truly matters to have someone competent just like Amos was everyday during the whole trip.
I would definitely repeat the experience with Safari Multiways and recommend them to anyone around the world!

Fanstastic safari, highly recommended!
We booked a 5 day camping safari, Mwanza-Serengeti-Ngorogoro-Lake Manyara-Tangarire-Arusha. Victor was very responsive and helpful with all our questions during the booking process (including quick communication of receipt of the initial deposit). The safari itself was fantastic -lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, ostriches, etc, etc!! Our guide was very experienced, enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the routes to take, the animals and birds. Our guide was also a very safe driver and the vehicle was comfortable and spacious. The food from our cook was varied and good. The tent was large and was fine with coping with some heavy rain overnight. Overall, I'd highly recommend Vic Tours, a great experience throughout!
