Couldn't have been better: the trip of a lifetime, expert guides, great hotels, rock bottom price.
CKC is the outfit to go with if you want local professionals, expert guides, individualized itineraries, a small group and incredible low prices for the high quality experience. The largest group they take is six, so if a couple can find four friends, you have your own private safari and you can write the itinerary yourselves. Mr. Muhoho knows his business thoroughly, responds to communication almost immediately (granted the time difference), is understanding and completely flexible. He can give you good advice on your selections. CKC safaris are advertised as "medium" range but to our eyes most of the lodges were luxurious, with spacious, comfortable rooms, all facilities and excellent, elegantly presented food. The two "tent camps" in the Serengeti were more like the tents a king would travel with: large, multi-room, permanent toilet, hot shower, vanity, and cowhide rugs on the floor! His guides could win a Nobel prize for driving on the difficult roads of the parks. By all means, take the optional ranger walk from the Rhino Inn down to the watering hole where the Masai herders bring their animals.

Best safari ever!!
Fredrick, guide/driver, was just excellent. He cared animals above everything else. We enjoyed the way he showed us the region. And he drove a safari car so good we felt safe for the whole journey! Food was also good. They cooked us plenty of food and we were full all the time. It is the best memory in Tanzania. ありがとう！

A trip of a lifetime
We had an amazing 2 weeks in Tanzania thanks to Shemeji and their staff. From being greeted at the airport upon our arrival by Frank in Mt. Kilimanjaro to getting dropped off 2 weeks later in Zanzibar, we had full confidence in Shemeji.
- Emma was very accommodating during the booking process, we had a hundred questions since this was our first safari trip and she promptly answered every one. She also had no problem adapting the itinerary to our personal needs(including last minute flight changes). After everything was figured out, we couldn't believe how good of a deal the trip was.
- Edward is an incredible driver, and the best tour guide. He knows all the parks like the back of his hand and will find whatever animal you're looking for. He's also very knowledgeable about whatever you see -- birds, mammals, plants, etc. If he doesn't know what you spotted he'll eagerly look it up in a book to learn about it. He's also kind, funny and helpful. Which are all important since you'll be spending a lot of time with this person over the course of your trip.
- Godson is an amazing chef and fed us incredible vegan food every day for 3 meals a day. Having a dietary restriction had us a little concerned about a trip like this. But Godson had no problem with our vegan diet. He made delicious meals every day. Our only "problem" was that there was too much food. We were full at every meal. That was not what we expected from this trip and we loved it. He's also a sweet person and made for great company on the trip as well.
- Our accommodations were all great. From the campgrounds, to hotels and lodges. It was quite a sampling of different areas and types of places to stay in Tanzania.
We wandered Arusha, swam with dolphins in the Indian Ocean, got woken up by hyenas, and saw about 70 lions on safari(along with cheetahs, leopards, elephants and everything else we wanted to see!) while visiting 5 national parks and conservation areas.
Thanks Shemeji!

Wonderful experience!!!!
I ve done two safaris with LionKing Ltd. so far and both belong to the best wildlife experiences I have ever made in Africa! Wonderfully organized and both tours with very skillful and experienced guides I can absolutely recommend this company to organize your safari adventure! All guides do have more than 20 years experience in the field and for me it belongs to the best tour companies in Uganda!!! They can organize everything from birdwatching to golf safaris and the Batwa visit in Bwindi was just amazing!!!

Had the BEST trip!
I went to Uganda with a group of 20+ people for business and had the best time, thanks in large part to Pamoja Tours and Travel. Everything was taken care of and the service was incredible! Will definitely use them again when I come back to Uganda with my family!

Very professional and efficient
Mandy was very efficient and got us booked on relatively short notice. The stay at Mpili camp in the Imfolozi reserve was great although the variety and number of game was a bit disappointing. Overall it was a very nice break.

Amazing experience
Everything was good, our drivers/guides (Paul and George) were very friendly and professional from the pick up at the airport to the last day. I absolutely recommend Benson for your experience in Tanzania.

Great Safari experience in my homeland Tanzania
We had to do an inland tourism, cause I came from Tanzania and we decided to have the safari to Ngorongoro Crater. Choosing Asconsafaris was the best choice we made for this memorable trip.
The service is top notch, great price offers and a lot of perks along the way. We ware a family of 7 so they gave us one luxurious bus from their fleet, we used this from Dar es salaam to Arusha, and there we switched to a modern 4x4 for offroading. The packaging was amazing, great food and drinks, it was a mixture of wonderful picknic in safari.
Friendly services, professional presentation and guaranteed satisfaction, this was the best experience from a local service provider.
Next year we are planning to have a few friends from Helsinki, Ascon Safaris is our go to safari experience provider. Kudos to them all.
If you are planing to have a great tour in Tanzania, give these guys a call, you will not regret it.
