Wonderful Experience
Fantastic tour that allows you to see so many incredible places!!! It is fast paced and there are a few things that could be done differently but if you are looking for a trip to see the main highlights of the park. This is the one for you! with Asiliexplorer We had an great group but our Guide joe made the trip extremely enjoyable with his knowledge and great sense of humour and kept everything running so smoothly and tried to accommodate everyone and every request! Shout out to our driver, to all the walking city tour guides and to the customer service team, as they were all part of making this a great trip for me from the time I booked it to finally being able to actually do it!

Look no further. This is the tour to book!
Amazing!!! This is the tour to BOOK!!!! I know the choices of tours are overwhelming. I promise you this is an excellent tour and worth every penny as it is a great value for all you do and see.Ronald (the owner) and Ben (our guide) made sure we had a great experience. We had all sorts of problems with our Visa (my fault) and they completely took care of us . From the moment we arrived to when we left 7 days later, Ben (our guide) was attentive making sure we always were happy, comfortable,FUN, safe and he was extremely knowledgeable sharing all he knows about wild life and Uganda culture with us. As a former park ranger, Ben has a gifted eye for spotting all the cool wile life. We saw it all as a result of Ben making it happen for us every day. The mini van they use to transport us (was not fancy but it was super comfy and safe getting through all those crazy roads in the mountains. The cool looking Land cruisers are not near as comfy and the way they lift the roof off their vehicle allows for amazing views in comfort and safety. All the accommodations were FANTASTIC not fancy but super clean, and all of the lodges were unique with private bungalows in natural picturesque settings. Nothing cheesy and nothing dirty. The service at all the lodges and restaurants they took us to provided us with legendary service especially Bweza Lodge. Each restaurant Ben brought us to served amazing meals and we are vegetarians and every single one of them accommodated us perfectly. I can not say enough positive stuff about Ben! We travel all around the world and have done tours like this before, This was TOPS!

Amazing tour, we enjoyed every minute.
We contacted Deo and he immediately provided an itinerary based on our flights. Everything was taken care of and everyone went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. Would 100% recommend booking through Sirini safaris.

Great experience and very friendly and helpful people
I had a great experience arranged by Colours Africa Tours. Godlisten and his team are wonderful and make sure that your tour with them becomes really enjoyable. Our guide and driver Fred was very knowledgeable and a fun person to be around with. The day trek to Mandara Huts at the foothills of Kilimanjaro was the prefect end to a wonderful tour.

Incredible once in a lifetime experience
If you want a tour that creates memories to last a life time, this is the company to do it with. Our guide Gerry, who during the trip became our friend, is an amazing guide who listens to everything you say and makes every effort possible to make it happen. I cannot thank him enough for everything, he really did make our trip so special. If you are looking for someone who knows the best angles for your photos, or even the best positions to see the wonderful wildlife, this is the man to do it with. Booking with Savannah Explorers was simple and made easy by Micky and the team, and they answered all of my questions and made our itinerary exactly to our requirements. Thank you so much!

Perfect experience in Tanzania
We had the opportunity to hire a self-driving vehicle with Gladiola Adventure Arusha and from the first moment of contact everything was really perfect, the communication with Didas and his assistant Melkiory both before and during our trip was total, both always attentive to solve and respond to any Consultation, your great experience is noted. Regarding the unit, everything was 10 points, a beautiful toyota land cruiser with a roof tent and fully equipped for cooking, refrigerator included to enjoy some well-deserved cold beers at the end of the safari day. It is a 100 x 100 reliable company. Many thanks to Didas and his entire team.

Unforgettable Safari with Safari Professionals
We did a Safari with the owner Noel in February with his Safari Company ‘Fur Tours & Trek’ and we can highly recommend Noel and his Safaris.
Everything was extremely well organized, he was very friendly & supportive with pick-ups from our prior destination and our driver Savio achieved us seing all the big 5 during our 6-day Safari in Tanzania.
Our driver made sure we have the best experience by also visiting some bush tribes
with a local translator , who was also super lovely and extremely kind. Loved the mix of seing animals and authentic tribes.
We felt safe at all times and enjoyed every single day to the fullest.

Best Safari Experience Ever With Guide Immanuel
It was the absolute best decision to go on our honeymoon to Tanzania! The animals, the landscape, the people - all made for the most perfect trip. A couple notes about our 11 day trip to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar:
1) Lion King Adventures was the best tour operator we could have asked for. Their high rating on Safari Bookings is completely justified. We worked with Nickson and Anna through the process and they were both prompt, professional, and showed great flexibility in helping us find the perfect itinerary. While I must admit I was a little uneasy when our credit card payment could not be processed (we're from USA), rest assured, we were able to pay using Wise just fine. Just know, if the payment process is the worst part of your trip, you've picked the best tour operator!
2) Our tour guide, Immanuel, was the absolute, hands down best! I guess since this was our first safari, we did not realize just how important your tour guide is to your experience (they are your chauffeur, animal/plant expert, translator, lunch preparer, etc.) - you spend upwards of 10 hours/day with them! Immanuel was so knowledgable about every animal that we saw, it was as if we had our own encyclopedia driving us around. He had a great knack for finding animals as well as positioning the Toyota Land Cruiser in a way for the best photos - e.g. he saw some cheetahs from a long distance out (still don't understand how he was able to see them in the savannah grass...), and he drove us to the exact spot they crossed our path. Immanuel was so patient stopping for every animal that interested us (my wife loves giraffes so he stopped just about every time for her even though we saw hundreds en route and in the Serengeti) as well as giving us a tidbit about each animal and answering every question that we had. It was really great to see his excitement as well - we knew if he asked us to take a picture of a leopard in a tree or lions sleeping in front of us, it was a special moment even for a well seasoned guide! We also felt like royalty every lunch when he would set up a hot meal lunch with tablecloth and choice of beverages all aligned perfectly (this is where you could tell Lion King Adventures goes above and beyond for their clients - not many other tours had this perk, just box lunches). You can just really tell Immanuel loves his job and is pouring his heart and soul into it. On a more personal level, his English is excellent - he knew our American slang and idioms really well. He is just a really caring and selfless human being (e.g. stopping to assist other guides with car trouble and always giving our lunch leftovers to the guys cleaning the park bathrooms), it was so great to get to know him on a personal level. I hope we can stay in touch in the future!
3) All of our airport transfers and accommodations were great. We stayed at Arusha Planet Lodge, Lake Burunge Tented Camp, Eileen's Trees Inn, Embalakai Camp, and The Residence (in Zanzibar). Every single place we stayed the staff was nothing short of excellent, kind, and all had a smile on their faces (special shoutout to Embalakai Camp - our favorite spot while on safari!). The food was great at each option as well - essentially you can't go wrong with all of the recommended places from Lion King Adventures!
4) If you are thinking about doing a safari but have reservations like we did because of distance, COVID, etc. I just want to say it was 1000% worth it! It was the best trip we've taken to date and we are already planning our return trip to Tanzania. Lion King Adventures and specifically Immanuel played a big part in our enjoyment, and I hope this review gives others a sense of how great it was for us - thanks Immanuel!!
