Wonderful experience! Booked through them for our gorilla tracking experience in Uganda
We had a great experience booking our recent trip to Uganda for gorilla trekking with Matoke Tours. We opted for a fly-in tour from Entebbe. I got in touch with Pleunie via safaribooking.com in January 2022. We just finished our trip last month. Miss Pleunie was very responsive and accommodating with our request and she made sure that everything was in order from the initial deposit all the way up to the end of our unforgettable trip. Our flight coming into Entebbe was delayed for 2 hours and although I wasn't able to reach Miss Pleunie via Whatsapp to give her an update (she didn't have power in her house that night and her phone had apparently died); our wonderful guide John who was waiting to pick us up in Entebbe airport on arrival tracked our flight and waited for us past midnight. It was such a relief to see him at the arrivals area holding a sign with our names after such a stressful journey. He then took us to our hotel for the night and helped us get settled in. The flight to Kisoro the next day went smoothly without any hitch. Our guide met us a Kisoro with their 4x4 SUV to take us to this beautiful hotel at a remote peninsula about 45 minutes to the airport. Valance was helpful in getting us registered for the gorilla tracking experience the next day and he waited for us for 4 hours to take us back to our hotel once the tracking was done. Overall, for our last trip, we had utilized the services of 5 tour companies across 5 different countries and Matoke Tours probably planned and coordinated one of the most complex legs of our trip and did they a wonderful job! We highly recommend this tour company for your gorilla tracking adventure!

Very determined to ensure that we had a great time
The tour company made sure that we had an excellent time and took steps to make sure that our guides were top notch. They were very attentive and responsive to our questions and concerns. They came up with the idea of doing the walking Safari for our last day and it was excellent

EXCELLENT service. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY! Do not hesitate, book with this company!
THE BEST TOUR COMPANY! We went with 5 different tour companies on our recent vacation. From Kenya all the way to the Netherlands and we came into our conclusion: LION KING ADVENTURES is second to none. From the communication with Ms. Pendo all the way to them working with our other tour company in Kenya to help us get our luggage across the border late at night right at the doorstep of our hotel, TOP NOTCH SERVICE. We recently went on their 6 day private luxury safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro in July 2022. Bright met us at the Namanga border and waited for us patiently as we went through customs and immigration. He then dropped us off at our hotel in Arusha. The next day, Ozzie picked us up at our hotel in Arusha in time, bringing with him his wonderful personality and warm Tanzanian hospitality. He spent the next 5 days with us being our guide, our driver, and our friend. He made sure we were comfortable, had enough drinks during our game drive, cleaned the vehicle every day and made sure that we would spot the Big 5 (and the Ugly 5). He also briefed us daily regarding our agenda for the day and with some background regarding each of the parks we were visiting. He also asked us for our expectations on our first day. The accommodations that were selected by them were amazing- we didn't want to leave! From Kitela Lodge to Lake Manyara Kilimamoja, all were fantastic! If you need a trustworthy, reliable and exceptional tour company for your East Africa adventure, look no further than Lion King Adventures! 5 stars all the way!

Very good quality
Hi, I’m very satisfied with our 6 days safari in Kenya. Special big thank you to our 18years experienced driver Nelson. We felt very safe and we have seen many animals. I’ve made fantastic photos which you can see on Instagram: @dancing_in_the_plane

Highly Personalized & Warm Service
We loved the warmth & affection extended to us during our trip to Kenya. The staff were very efficient & humane. The planning was well thought through & extra mile showcased great flexibility, in case we wanted few fine tuning. We left Kenya with beautiful memories, thanks to the flora & fauna of the country & Extra Miles Team.

perfect organization that allows you to enjoy every moment and see great things
couple travel.
we have been to manyara, ngorongoro, serengeti (2 day) and tarangire. (tot 6 ight)
optimal organization of time and travel. without unnecessary waiting times and without alarm clocks at senseless times. We still managed to enjoy the safari from sunrise to sunset, seeing all the animals we had read about on the internet and more.
when we asked for the quote it was also the cheapest company. we just had to buy international flights, then they come and get you.
the first day the driver was at our disposal and we also did a tour in arusha.
after the safari the company also organized the transfer to zanzibar by booking a fantastic resort in nungwi (6 night).
the whole tour is available in Italian.
an unforgettable experience.
comfortable accommodation but that make you appreciate the fact of being in the middle of nature.
the Tanzanians are a very kind and helpful people.
the guide was also great, nice, friendly. we shared good times

I wouldn’t hesitate to choose them again
The communication with them was very easy since the beginning: they answered all the questions I had at the time and they adapted the safari for what I was looking for. Our guide Aruni was amazing!!! He was very friendly and glad to explain us all the curiosisties we had about the animals, the park, the country, the culture… everything! Those days have been an incredible experience.

Very helpful and trustable and very good in their job
I started communicating with John a few weeks before our family trip to Tanzania. I asked a lot of questions and he replied all of them in a very patient and clear way. I ended up deciding to go to Mikumi since we did not have many days to spend on the road and it was the closest national park to have a safari. Everything went very smoothly as we planned. John met us at the airport at 5 in the morning, got our payment, took us to meet our Safari driver, Emma and we said our byes. Our plan was to take the ferry to Zanzibar directly from the safari and we weren't sure how we would manage to get the tickets and make it on time. John offered to get the ferry tickets for us which he did and met us at the ferry to give them to us. This was a very nice act and really helped us a lot. Emma was a great Safari driver as well. He found all those lazy, sleeping lions in their quiet corners only visible to a knowing eye, which thankfully he had. He was a very nice and social person with a lot of knowledge about the animals' behaviour which he shared with us all during our trip together. Our experience with Kasaka Tours was a very positive one and I would recommend them wholeheartedly. Thank you very much John and Emma...
