Amazing experience, very professional!
We went on a 4 day safari with Lion King Adventures between Christmas and New Year 2017. The overall experience was absolutely fantastic and the treatment from Lion King was very professional. All communication via e-mail before the safari was very smooth and made sure we had a full overview of the trip. Our guide Saleh was very nice and competent. Saleh picked us up at the airport and then followed us during all four days during the safari until we were dropped off at the airport again, which made us feel very safe all the time. Me and my partner went alone in a spacious car together with our guide. The price of safari included all accommodation with food, also food and drinks during the safari was included. All accommodation was very high class.
We recommend Lion King Adventures and our guide Saleh strongly!

Professional guide and a pleasant experience!
I was going on a gorilla safari with my friend and this was going to be the first ever safari for the both of us. Luckily, the communication with the office was super easy and we got answers to all of the questions we needed. The driver / guide (Sam) was very professional and funny and made our time very pleasant. Also, he had a proper knowledge of the local area close to the Mgahinga national park and he promptly spoke some 7 languages which we thought was super positive.
The safari was surely the highlight of out East African trip!

Not anything negative to say!
At least 120 safari operators are active from Arusha or Moshi in Northern Tanzania. Thus, the choices are ample and difficult. When we decided to go on safari, we chose to make a 2-week safari while we were already in Europe, in order to avoid additional jet lag. We contacted Makasa at the advice of friends, and are very happy we did. They responded rapidly, were open to specific wishes (e.g., visit to the Oldupai gorge), and suggested the best game opportunities for our January trip.
While the Northern Great Migration in August to October is far more popular, our stay in Europe during the winter months made the Southern migration more feasible. Makasa suggested that we also visit the Lake Ndutu area in the southern Serengeti.
Following a couple of days in the Kilimanjaro and Maasai areas closer to Moshi, we travelled to Tarangire National Park (NP) and saw many adult and baby elephants, in addition to Cape buffaloes, gnoes (wildebeests), and various antelopes. We stayed in a tented lodge close to the park and were visited in the evening by 3 elephants which were grazing about 20 meters from our tent. Next stop was Lake Marynara NP to watch flamingos, and even some tree-climbing lions. In the Lake Ndutu area off-roading was allowed, and we came very close to lions and cheetahs. The numbers of gnoes and zebras traveling south were innumerable.
Next stop was Serengeti NP, where we again saw many lions, cheetahs, and even 3 leopards. Here we also stayed in a tented camp, which was convenient, had excellent food, and even hot showers and internet access. The last stop was Ngorongoro Crater. This World Heritage Site is very peaceful, beautiful, and we saw 4 rhinos, although from a great distance.
Makasa had organized everything splendidly, and it all went off without a hitch. Our guide/driver Jamal was not only very nice, but he had vision like a hawk, encyclopedic knowledge of the local fauna and flora, and the instinct to predict where animals were going. His English was impeccable, although his Swahili hard for us to understand. We had not a single negative experience and saw far more than on a safari to Kruger Park ten years earlier. The Great Migration was awesome to watch, and we saw every single one of the Big Five (Lol, how silly to find that important!). The best part for us was the stay at Lake Ndutu, where we saw lions, cheetahs, and hyenas from less than 20 meters. It was amazing that the animals completely ignored the Jeep.
We are very happy to recommend Makasa to travelers from Europe and also from North America. They are competitive, responsive, and will provide you with an unforgettable safari.

MUST DO
Booking through Lovely Safari is easy and quick, we had a one night safari in Mikumi and it was awesome. Friends recomended Joseph to us and it was worth it. He is a set guide and a real nature lover.
We found the price cheap compare to the average.

Great experience at a good price
Ilya responded promptly to our enquiry, and a few emails later put a schedule that fit our dates and budget.
Karim, our guide was excellent - a font of knowledge about the country, the Parks, the animals, culture and all sorts of other interesting stuff. He was professional, caring and courteous at all times.
The accommodation booked was great and fit our budget.
The parks and the safari were fascinating; a window to Africa. The mountain gorillas in Bwindi were the highlight of our visit and highly recommended in spite the high permit cost.
Thank you to the team for an unforgettable trip!

Amazing service, educated staff and top notch experience!
Me.Otieno was excellent at communicating and let us costumize our safari. The price was very reasonsable (which made me nervous if the company was legit) but everything was fantastic, our guide Paul went above and beyond for us and the accommodation was beyond what we thought we would be getting for the price we paid. I don’t have enough good things to say! If you’re looking for a reasonable safari with all the perks of a luxury safari KWSS is right for you!

A great way to see and connect with Uganda, with a Ugandan host.
We chose Home to Africa because we wanted to use a local Ugandan company. Our safari was everything we had hoped for in terms of the extraordinary parks, the wildlife and the lodges. But what made the trip for us was our guide Derrick who was a genuine and enthusiastic local host. Everywhere we went, we met people who knew and liked him - hotel staff, rangers and other guides - and in each case his contacts added something new to our trip. Elias in the office was clear and helpful as we planned our trip, communication was good and everything went precisely to plan. We will certainly travel with Home to Africa Again.
