First class service
Matthew the owner was very accommodating. We had to make last-minute changes to our safari and they were done instantly with no additional cost. They also went out of their way to help us after our camera was stolen, letting us borrow one of theirs. They also sent us a wonderful guide Daniel who was incredibly knowledgeable and very jovial. We went to Samburu, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara. We saw all the big five, including black and white rhinos in the wild and even a baby white rhino. We also saw the "special five" in Samburu. It was really great to see the contrasting animals between north and south of the equator. Highly, highly recommend this company. We will definately be booking our next safari with them.

Spot on in everything mostly to find animals and left no doubts for us to be confused
We really found everything except for the usual rhino because it is almost impossible so it was the best package we had for 3 days because it was totally worth it and the service for all including food was superb also and James was one of the best drivers we had any it was quite safe around him even though the trip was all about adventure to death thank you for taking us

Great time with topy tours
We had a great time with Topy Tours the guide was helpful and we saw 4 of the big 5 and a lion up close! I recommend this tour for anyone who wants a nice affordable 2 or 3 day safari. You will definitely see African wildlife, meet nice people and taste really great food! Only suggestion I would have was maybe a different accommodation in Arusha, its quite cold and dark but we can't complain since it was just for 1 night and Topy Tours let us stay there free of charge! Overall good safari.

Top-notch professionals, safaris very well organized
Absolutely fabulous and exceptional experience ! The guide was very much knowledgeable about the areas where rare animals (leopard and black rhino namely) could be found. The organization was awesome and accommodation was benchmark (specifically the luxury tents in the middle of the Serengeti savana).

The best
I highly recommend Twinkle Star Tour. We started planning in 2019 for 2020. We had sent our payment in and the pandemic hit. Everything closed. James kept in touch with me and assured my the Safari would take place when I was ready. Our dreams came true this July 16th. They were there to pick us up at the airport and through the entire 10 days. We love Abu our driver. James was very detailed kept making the changes I requested. He came to meet us an say goodbye. Brought gift to my husband and I. It was the most wonderful experience. The resorts were all beautiful and everyone was super attentive to our needs. We couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely return and bring our family. They were the most honest people you can meet.
We love you James and Abu.

Amazing guide, that was very knowledgeable. He also had a great personality for the long drives.
This was the BEST trip I’ve ever been on. First, let me acknowledge Maurice for helping my boyfriend create the PERFECT itinerary. Each day it truly it truly got better and better. Our driver Kasimba was the absolute best! He made the trip so fun and adventurous. He had a great sense of humor and so kind to us. Our “kaka” forever. We thank you all for giving us the best experience in Kenya. -Bria & Jahaad

KING OF THE JUNGLE!!!
I first started working with lion King and their representative Pendo a year and a half ago planning for our 35th anniversary trip to Africa !!! We had everything figured out and Pendo was on top of everything and then Covid hit !! once things started opening up a year and a half later I reached out to Pendo again once we were vaccinated and had the approval to go overseas and she welcomed us back and we picked up right were we left off and she didn’t skip a beat . Pendo knew everything and remembered everything that I had requested …and I did have some special requests I am celiac and also an arachnophobiac person!!! and I can tell you not one place was unprepared !!! my husband and I felt completely confident all while working with Pendo as she prepared for our Covid testing and everything we needed to do to come into their country and for our connections out I can’t say enough about their professionalism their thoroughness it was amazing and their staff couldn’t be better!!!!! And We were so lucky!!!! we feel we won the jackpot when our guide picked us up at the airport his name is Abu :) and this young man greeted us so warmly and that’s where it just took off!!!!!! My husband and I spent the next nine days with Abu going through the Serengeti and other nearby parks !!! we were there for the migration of the wildebeests and Abu absolutely nailed it !!!!! It was if Abu called in these favors with the animals himself!!!! He nailed our sightings and up close and personal of every animal we would’ve ever wanted to see and more!!! we were able to feel so at home because of the relationship Abu had with every one of the tour operators hotel staff and everyone of the strangers I would say I would call …he would probably calls them friends (as this is the feeling i soon learned of the people of Tanzania) we met along the way he is a truly unique and wonderful human being that we were so blessed that we we had the privilege to spend those nine days with and two experience all that we experience from the wildebeest to the up close and personal lions and elephants it was absolutely beyond our wildest imaginations!!! On top of all of that while we were on this great adventure we had some changes we needed to make to our airlines but in country the airlines systems were down and we could not do it over the phone so Pendo stepped up and went in to the airlines office and took care of everything for us and had everything emailed to us and hardcopy sent before we had to make our flight out of Tanzania once again !!!! When they asked for suggestions of what they could do better we couldn’t think of one this is a company who truly put their guests above all else !! The whole time Pando their office representative was checking in with Abu to make sure everything was going OK make sure that they the places remembered my requests !! everything !!! as did Abu ! And As we checked in for our flight to Johannesburg our sweet Abu was waiting at the window to make sure we were doing OK in the airport !!! that’s the kind of service that absolutely wraps everything up with a pretty bow :) you will not be disappointed ever if you choose LION KING ADVENTURES they’re wonderful !!!!!!! And by the way the choices set up by them for our stays couldn’t have met our personalities and our wishes more for perfectly every single detail was thought about specifically for us throughout this whole trip and you will not be disappointed!!!!

Excellent service. Tano Bora included.
I had the pleasure of James Munyiri as my guide in May 2019.
Nothing was too much trouble and he had the Eyes of an Eagle, managing to find Tano Bora not once, but twice.
Strongly recommend.
