The BEST safari experience we could have asked for!
This safari with Lion King Adventures exceeded every single expectation we had. We did the 7-day luxury all inclusive safari experience which included a private guide/driver for the entire trip, game drives, incredible food (breakfast/lunch/dinner), and top luxury hotels. Every category was spot on. The car was an extended Land Cruiser that could fit 10 but it was just us two and the driver. They added additional padding to the seats and head rests to make it even more comfortable. Every door had huge windows and the roof opened up so you could stand at any point and get better views of the animals. The car also had a refrigerator so you could have all the cold water, soft drinks, beer and wine you could want. It was extremely comfortable, which was important because you are driving the majority of the time. We saw every single animal we wanted to see: lions, hippos, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, gazelle, cheetahs, leopards, warthogs, and even the rare rhino. We saw lions eating meals they had just hunted, wildebeest crossing the river, cheetahs running after prey, and even a pride of lions with cubs. Truly remarkable and unforgettable!
The booking experience was easy - they were so quick to respond and accommodated all of our requests. They provided an awesome multi-page pdf with explanations of each day, what you can hope to see, the hotels, and photos.
The food was incredible; every day for lunch our guide packed a hot and delicious meal that he set up with a table cloth and full place settings. He would make us hott cofee in the afternoon and a class of wine or beer with our lunch.
The hotels were all better than the last and felt luxurious, accommodating and authentic. The food was delicious; mostly set menus with a million sides to choose from and the breakfasts had everything you could ask for.
The best part was our guide, Saleh. We have done many trips with guides and he was by far the best one. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, respectful, and so accommodating. He never overstepped, he was funny, genuine, and knew just about every answer to every question we had. You can tell he takes his job very seriously but also enjoys it. We are so happy to have met him. Saleh is the reason we had such a good time.
If you go to Tanzania - or anywhere in East Africa, I highly recommend using Lion King Adventures. I could not picture a better choice.

Unforgettable experience
I had a nice safari trip to Tanzania and everything went perfect more than my expectations. Serena Ngorongoro Lodge was the best lodge on this safari.
Thanks for this best experience.

Excellent way to plan your trip to Rwanda.
It was by far the best safari we have had; we have travelled so many times I and my wife, in different countries but Rwanda was indeed something! we planned from last year with Oreste and Patrick, these two were incredible, quick on emails and hands on all the time. We enjoyed all our hotel amenities from Akagera National Park for safaris to Volcanoes the home of the huge gorillas.
Hermosa Life tours and travel is the best agency for your excellent trip planning in Rwanda. We shall keep telling our friends and family about these guys and we shall plan with them again in future. This was exactly what we were looking for when we started planning our Safari one year ago.

Fantastic travel agent - 100% recommend
Ute was an amazing resource for putting our first-time trip to Africa together. She was always accommodating, easy to work with and endlessly helpful, even when there was no profit in it for her. We had a Covid snafu during our trip and Ute was immediately ready and able to help us deal with the obstacles we faced. This trip was the best I've ever had (and I travel a lot) and I credit Ute with helping to make it so outstanding. Her experience, contacts and knowledge of all things Africa made our trip seamless, lovely, effortless and beautiful. Thank you Ute. You are the best!!

Exceptional
Monkey Adventures were professional from start to finish. Their service and advice during enquiries and booking was very quick and helpful during the safari itself our driver was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, this really made the trip memorable for us. The accomodation and vehicle were all to a high standard and we were very comfortable throughout the whole trip.
With so many companies out there it is hard to decide on what one to go for. I would highly recommend monkey to anyone planning a safari.

Trip of a lifetime!
Our first trip to sub-Saharan Africa was a once in a lifetime experience. We took a 20 day trip through Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
Uganda provided great diversity, with some wonderful big game experiences as well as unique experiences gorilla trekking (very tough effort but worth every bit) and chimpanzees (a couple notches down the toughness scale, but still a sweat inducing effort). We were able to cap it off with a wonderful stay on the Nile river for two nights with enough white water to provide some wonderful sleeping sounds!
We then flew to Kenya. Starting first thing the next morning, we headed towards Maasai Mara for big game, especially big cats! We had a visit with a Maasai tribe, quite an experience. Many spectacular views, lots of hippos and pink flamingos than anyone could have thought existed.
We finished with a drive to Tanzania to experience the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Lots of lions, wildebeest, zebras, and giraffe.
Our personal guide for Uganda was very knowledgeable and the head of the company made sure we had every amenity available to us. Our guides in Kenya and Tanzania were just as knowledgeable and took great care of us as well.
All in all, a great experience!!!

Excellent Guide to all things Rwanda
I had an absolutely amazing experience in Rwandan with Rwanda Eco. The arrangement for transportation and accommodation was very smooth and they even took me to get a rapid COVID test before going to Akagera. It was wonderful to have everything taken care of and my drivers were very knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly! I do love to have independence when traveling but it was very nice to have Rwanda Eco Company take care of everything for my two trips. By the way, the gorilla trek is an absolute must-do once in a lifetime experience! You won’t regret it! I am definitely coming back to do another safari in Akagera with them.
