Safari to Amboseli and Maasai Mara
We had a wonderful experience. The drivers/guides were very knowledgeable (well trained/educated) and capable. The vehicles were very up-to-date, reliable and well-appointed (they need to be on the rough gravel roads and rutted terrain). The drivers made the long drives as comfortable as possible.
Hannah was extremely responsive to all e-mail inquiries and credit card (or bank draft) transactions. Our whole trip was thoroughly planned and executed with punctuality, courtesy and competence.
My wife and I took 2 grand-children (aged 10 and 13) along with a group from Tembea Academy in Kajiado (totalling about 12 people, ranging in age from 10 to 70-plus). We were all delighted with every aspect of this experience.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!
We did a 7 day Safari visiting Tarangire NP, Manyara NP, Ngorongoro & Serengeti NP. Everything was fully arranged from day 1. The pick up from the airport was on time and our Driver picked us up at the hotel right in time the day after. Then our adventure started.. Beside the enormous beauty of this country and the fully filled nationalparks we were so blessed to do the trip with our guide NOVA. We really had a lot of questions about Flora & fauna, landscape, culture, food, etc. and he could answer us everything. His knowledge is really good and you can really feel that he loves his country and has a very good knowledge about. Every day was an adventure. Together we spotted all the interesting animals and the BIG FIVE. We did a cultural visit to the Massai and even a cultural tour to Mto Wa Mbu. For me it felt like the people were extra friendly to us because of the friendliness of Nova. We laughed, we sang and we really had a good time with our friend :) THANK YOU AGAIN 4 EVERYTHING NOVA!
The lodges were incredible accomodate and fully equipped. We liked most the Sangaiwe Lodge and the Tortilis Camp. Food and accomodation was very good in every lodge. Also lunch packages were good.
Everything was wonderful and incredible. This was the best holiday ever!
I just have one tip for you: don't hesitate if Maturaf did'nt answer asap to your mails. The communication is very low sometimes. But you can rely that everything is fully organized and that you will have the best time of your life. Do not forget africa is different than Europe. So everything is POLE POLE and HAKUNA MATATA! :) :) :)

A very exciting adventure, dreams fulfilled!!!!
Just hit different Safari websites and that of Mukisa was the most impressive. Reaching on ground in Uganda this june, what Mikisa safaris did what is far better than what i had seen on their website. My friend Monica was happy; she said she knew i couldnt disappoint her, i always make the right choices.
With exquisite lodges and a fabulous services, Mukisa safaris ensured that we enjoy our holiday without regret. We adventured in Kidepo valley National park, Bwindi impenetrable forest for Gorilla tracking, Kalangala Islands and Queen Elizabeth NP.
If im to measure my satisfaction about Mukisa safaris from a grade of 1 to 10, i would say 11.
I urge all Ugandans abroad to use Mukisa safaris when they go home to tour. I recommend everyone in the world who wants to tour to Uganda to use Mukisa Safaris. You will not be disappointed!

Amazing
We had an wonderful experience in Africa with this safari tour. Everything was arranged very nicely. Just one thing: if you plan on going for the hot air balloon safari ensure to do it early on in the trip as it is subject to weather.
Lillian was very helpful and made our trip to Africa very enjoyable.

Excellent visit to Tanzania
We cannot express enough how happy we were with our experience with Regional Tours. We had a 9 day tour that involved Serengeti/Lake Manyara and the Ngorongoro Crater, plus Stone Town and Zanzibar. Maturaf picked the perfect accommodations for our family. All of our accommodations - Tloma Lodge, Kati Kati, Mizingani Seafront and Breezes - were exceptional. The staff at all of these hotels were welcoming and friendly and the food was great.
Our safari guide, Nova, was absolutely perfect. He was knowledgeable, kind, patient, resourceful, an excellent driver, flexible, and exceptionally good at spotting animals. He found us all of the animals we wanted to see and seemed to always be able to put us in the best position for capturing them on camera without intruding on the animals. We already miss him!
Our driver for Zanzibar was Omar and he was also wonderful. He provided excellent recommendations for us, was always on time, has a pleasant and engaging personality and showed true hospitality to us while we were in Zanzibar.
My biggest recommendation for Regional Tours is that - in addition to meeting all of our high expectations for the safari and tour - they exceeded our expectations when my daughter lost her teddy bear while we were on the trip and didn’t know where we had left him. We contacted Maturaf and he located it, had it shipped to Zanzibar, and got it to Omar to deliver it back to us in time for our flight out. This to me says it all about the experience you can expect with Regional Tours. They were professional, attentive to detail and delivered a high quality experience for us. We would absolutely book with them again.

Unforgettable
We did a 5 day safari with Lion King, lodges and tented camp, to 4 people (2 adults and 2 teenagers) in Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
The organization was perfect : the accommodations were of good quality, as were the meals. Everything was very well planned without any bad surprises. Even a last-minute lodge change was handled perfectly by Anna.
All our requests during the preparation of the safari have been satisfied. Anna, has perfectly met our expectations. She even welcomed us on our first evening in Arusha, to introduce our program.
So we went on a 5 day safari with our French speaking guide Salim. We could see a wide variety of animals, scenes of animal life, landscapes and lights. The 4 * 4 was comfortable, big, clean and well driven by Salim. We always had fresh drinks available.
Salim accompanied us perfectly during this stay. He allowed us to see as many animals as he could immediately recognize. He was very friendly, smiling, available and had answers to our questions about animals and about his country. It has adapted to our demands, especially to achieve morning game-drives or at sunset, and to allow us to take pictures in the best possible conditions.
We are fully satisfied with the services. We therefore strongly recommend Lion King Adventures and our guide Salim for all French speakers who are uncomfortable in English (like us!)
Thank you all for this unforgettable trip

Incredible 5 Day Safari, could not fault it
We have just finished a 5 day 'budget safari' with Lion King Adventures and loved every minute of it! The staff were welcoming, friendly and very accommodating. Even though we had difficult dietary requirements, we always had plenty of incredible food and didn't need to worry about going hungry! Our guide, Salim, was very nice and knowledgeable, he was able to answer any questions we had and tell us exactly what the animals we were looking at were. We were lucky enough to see so many amazing animals and Salim always ensured that we had the best view of them. We saw all big 5 as well as a very close view of cheetahs. Our guides always seemed the best prepared out of all the tour groups around us. Lion King Adventures arranged pick up and drop off from the airport, which was very helpful. They also helped us to arrange a day tour to a waterfall and markets with Amani cultural tours, this was a great way to experience the local people and environment. We are so happy with our experience and can't wait to recommend Lion King Adventures to our family and friends.

Amazing guides for the Safari you expect
Our guide Sudi ans driver David were wonderful! Always smiling and happy. Sudi was explaining many things about the animals and the places visited. They were both very patient when we asked them to stop to take pictures (even if we already saw 260 zebras haha). They really let us enjoy the parks and we felt it was definitely our own safari. They never rushed us and that was so pleasant. On the camp, during the diner, they always were nice and teaching us some swahili and song. Wonderful atmosphere! And what to say about the cook, Yussuf. Amazing food very well prepared, even the lunch boxes were delicious !
Anna was always available in case of any trouble.
To finish, i highly recommend Lion King Adventures and would organise my next tour with them if i had to!
