Everything was fine except for return transport
Transport to the lodge was fine and my experience at the lodge was excellent in terms of accommodation, service, food, amenities, and game drives. Transport back from Hwange to Livingstone was a nightmare of poor communication and waiting though. Ended up being forced to wait in a small village for hours without being told what was going on, and being very late on arrival in Livingstone, risking losing my accommodation for the night.

Trans-Kalahari Adventure
Traveled for 20+ days with Kiboko going from Cape Town, South Africa to Vicoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Travel was via a large 16 person truck/bus with two large refrigerators in the rear. Every day fresh fruit was provided. This is a long trip covering over 6,0000 kilometers. Our guide, Misheck Mahonye was absolutely fantastic in providing extra information and recommendations. He made sure our comfort was attended to with multiple rest stops for restroom breaks and snacks. This is a great trip if you wish to see a wide variety of landscapes and animals. It is not a good trip for young children or those who don't want to spend hours traveling from desination to destination.

Excellent safari!
The communication for arranging the safari was great! The price, the times and also the safari, the animals we finally saw, everything was really great and worth the money! Thank you!!!

Amazing wildlife, great Guide (Oswald), hot coffe, cold drinks!
There is a certain hesitation before sending a rather large amount of money to a (potentially dubious) safari operator "somewhere in Tansania"; *BUT*: Lion King Adventures was everything we expected and more!
Airport pickup, tailored program and accommodations right the way we wanted, great nature/wildlife/sights. In particular we can really recommend *Oswald* as a guide!
Contact with Anna before getting to Tanzania worked great, when arriving to the first Hotel we had a handwritten card by her, apologizing, that she couldn't be there that night (but she met us when we came back one week later and then she and her husband drove us to Moshi the next day).
Most tours are relatively similar: same car, same accomodations, same lunchbox. But:
I guess the moment i knew that we had booked the right tour with the right operator was when Oswald unfolded a piknick blanket on the bonnit of the car and prepared a coffee for us while he checked us in at the first park. It was this tiny detail (or the fridge in the back of the car with cold sodas/beer) that made the tour stand out. And the fact that he could spot animals with his eyes that we couldn't find even using binos...
I obviously only met one guide, but he made this tour perfect. Recommend him any time!

Unforgettable African experience
I was in a group which climbed Kilimanjaro and had safari to Lake Manyara and Ngorogoro crater with EoA. The biggest surprise for me, since we were in Africa, was that everything went smooth and according schedule. The guide informed us well about the dangerous side of climbing Kili and I like that his priority was to bring us back alive and healthy and not just to improve his statistics of succesful climbs. But anyway we reached the summit and descended in a good condition to enjoy in a safari, which was cherry on the cake. EoA, thank you for experience, which I'll remember till end of my days.

wonderfull
We did a 10 day tour.
we visited different parks:
Lake Duluti; we walked and canoed around it, the birdlife was wonderful.
Arusha NP; we spotted the beautiful Colobus monkeys, many birds and other wildlife, even an elephant
came out of the bush for us.
Tarangiri; We did a lot of (early) game driving, sorry John, and saw some amazing things, the black eared
fox, leopard in a tree with his catch. Many elephants drinking in the dry river bed, digging holes
to collect the water.
Lake Manyara; the birdlife in the lake is amazing, but also the klipspringer and the lions were great.
Serengetti; We have never seen so many lions as this year, very special was a mother lion with 5 cubs,
walking and playing close to the car.
Every day we saw more lions, honeymooners, big groups laying on the Kopjes, and we will
never forget the cub laying close to the rocks just looking at us, rolling around and having fun.
The cheetah, who just lied behind a little bush, the Thomson gazelles came too close, off she
went, a kill, just in front of our vehicle.
The Serval who calmly walked by was amazing.
Ngorongoro; the rhino was hiding but we had a great time at the hippo pool, spotting rare birds .
The lions were doing a nice play, pretending they were going to kill a buffalo, but it was only a
try out for the youngsters.
All together we had a great time, saw some amazing wildlife, an enormous amount of birds, very small to very large. John was willing to stop as many times as we requested, drove around as long as we wanted....
early drives, with nice breakfasts after the drives .
Always helping to find out what bird we spotted, he new an awful lot of them, the rest we searched for in his book.
The camp sites and the (tented) lodges we stayed were on good locations.
We will never forget the elephant in the Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp, who came buy in the night, stopping in front of our tent, his trunk swinging on our veranda, with only the mosquito netting in between him and us was quiet an experience.
We had a great time, the safari was very well organised up to our wishes, and the information giving beforehand was very helpful.

Fantastic trip
We had a great trip with Africa Safari Classics. The itinerary was tailored to our budget and places we wanted to visit and it ended up exceeding our expectations. We had an excellent guide, Tony who had an impeccable knowledge of all areas we visited, provided lots of interesting info, was very patient on road and with us taking photos. He also got the best angles every time we spotted an animal and drove around so we could get different snaps. Needless to say, we saw the Big Five (including two leopards in one day) and we saw two cheetah kills. Maurice organised the trip perfectly, we got the best tents everywhere we went and everything worked out smoothly. It was a trip of a lifetime and I hope to go back soon, I'd definitely use the company again and would recommend to anyone.
