Everything worked great, professional and nice service ecpecially our guide Patrick was excellent.
We had a four day panorama and safari tour. Everything was perfect. We were met always on time. We saw the big five and a cheetah which is very rare. I have travelled a lot but this was the best experience in my life and a big thank belongs to our guide Patrick. He found the best places and was an excellent driver and besides nice and friendly.

Best company ever - Thank you for this amazing safari!!
Just finished a 4 days Safari with MangiEmpire Tours & Safaris.
We were a group of 2 – Father (50) and daughter (18)
Overall excellent experience. There are tons of companies organizing safaris so it is hard to compare, but MangiEMPIRE Safaris is definitely a great one. We did all the booking over mail/Whatsapp with Nova, who showed great flexibility to our itinerary and hotels requests. After consulting with him, we agreed to have about 2 days in Serengeti and 1 day in Ngorongoro.
We also picked together the hotels in order to have a varied experience (we had 1 night in the KatiKati tented camp, 1 night at the excellent Serena Lodge and 1 last night at the very fancy Neptune lodge.)
We had an experienced and knowledgeable guide who catered to all our requests, and was ready to have very long days with us in the field. This included driving the extra distance to take us to the south part of the Serengeti in order to see the first large groups or migrating animals (mainly Zebras and
Cheetah) returning to the Serengeti.
Also, as we had a very late flight on the day returning from the Safari, while my daughter had her hair done the Tanzania way with many small braids, and took us to a nice place to eat as we insisted tasting Nyama Choma (BBQ meat with bananas) before leaving.

INCREDIBLE SAFARI TOUR!!
Our safari tour with Zohar African Safaris was more than amazing! The service was astounding! Before starting the game drives, we had the pleasure of meeting Lilian, the director of the safari. She gave us all the tips that we needed to have a great safari experience. Our guide, Babu, was extremely nice and always on time for every activity. He always cared about our safety and really cared about the animals and the nature. Thanks to Babu, we were able to see more than 20 different species of animals - it was incredible! Additionally, the food that was provided was delicious and you did not leave hungry in any occasion. I STRONGLY recommend this safari to anyone that is going to Tanzania!

Philemon has been attentive and very flexible in building a journey that reflects our request.
Philemon was attentive and very flexible to build a course that reflects our demand for sites of interest and type of accommodation. He is a man of confidence and it was a beautiful stay.
Remember to ask the driver to stop to benefit more, he adapts to the marathon pace does not suit you. Flat: shame about half a day in a park without seeing anything ...

Unforgettable 14 days in Uganda
We booked a 14 day safari tour with Grassrootz Uganda and all our expectations were met or even exceeded!
During the planning phase the communication with Sander worked very well and at the end we received a tailor made, detailed itinerary nicely prepared on the internet.
Our destinations: Start in Entebbe and then, Murchison Falls National Park, Kibale Forest National Park, Northern Queen Elizabeth National Park, Southern Queen Elizabeth National Park, Lake Mutanda, Lake Mburo National Park.
It was a completely successful tour with highlights every day and our driver/guide Moses was always helpful, friendly and competent.
I can fully recommend Grassrootz. We got a great trip for a fair price!

Gorilla trekking with Encounter African Safaris
The Safari met nearly all of my expectations. The traveling went smoothly, the company was amazing, and the gorilla experience was astonishing! I of course only wish we could spend more time with the gorillas. I definitely recommend going gorilla trekking with Encounter African Safaris company. This truly was a once in a life time, must do experience.

Perfect operator, in a fantastic country with fantastic people
For some time now we have been considering a trip to Uganda, especially to see the mountain gorillas. We asked a couple of operators for a travel proposal. Sander van Zanten's proposal corresponded exactly with our wishes, whereby you notice that Sander knows Uganda well.
Our 17 day tour included almost the entire safari circuit from Kidepo in the north, to Murchison, Kibale, Queen Elisabeth, Lake Mburo and of course Bwindi. We booked premium lodges, which almost all met our expectations. Comfort, care and meals excellent.
Our driver and guide turned out to be a more than excellent companion, who, without GPS, guided us flawlessly through Uganda. Small inconveniences were immediately solved, but especially his relaxed character is exactly what you need during such a trip.
Besides the very varied national parks, which all have their own character, the people of Uganda made a deep impression on us. The country therefore has a lot of potential to grow further.
Contrary to Kenya and Tanzania, Uganda is not yet overrun by tourists and therefore offers an authentic travel experience. We saw a cheetah-hunt and lion-hunt with us as the only witnesses....
We warmly recommend Sander and driver Bob.

Friendly responsive team. Wonderful safari
We chose Lion King because of the good reviews. We were a group of 3, a middle aged couple travelling with our young adult daughter.The team responded promptly to our emails and tailored the trip to our requests. Pendo in the office was particularly helpful. Our daughter was already in Tanzania, they picked her up from her internal flight and a member of staff Emmanuel stayed with her til we arrived later that day. We visited Tarangire and then went on to the Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater. Our safari driver Ozzy looked after us well. We enjoyed looking at the birds and grazing animals as well as the big 5. Ozzy was good at sharing information with drivers and finding the animals. We were lucky and saw around 10 Cheetahs and over 15 lions. It was wet for the time of year, meaning the vehicles were concentrated on the more major tracks so it was busy at times. We did get big cats to ourselves a couple of times. The wet conditions meant that we needed Ozzy's driving skills . We helped others and got stuck in the mud ourselves a couple of times.. the other drivers pulled us out. This was part of the fun but I would only attempt self drive in the dry season The Ngorogoro crater is stunning like the garden of Eden. You can't walk i n the crater itself but we did a hike round the crater with an armed ranger which I would recommend. We stayed in mid range lodges which were welcoming and comfortable.
