Amazing tour operator - Fiona took such great care of us!!!
My husband and I went on a 4-day/3-night budget safari tour. Fiona was super communicative, and answered all our questions leading up to the trip. She upgraded us from a van to a 4x4 jeep for an additional amount, which was super appreciated! Last minute we asked for an upgrade on our lodging - from a tented camp to a lodge - and she was able to help us out! We had a blast in this trip, the shared tour with other people in the jeep made it all the more fun! The value of what we paid for compared to what we received was EXCELLENT! Fiona made us feel at ease the entire time, so accommodating to our every need! She even treated us for breakfast before we headed to meet the jeep. Thanks Fiona, we’ll be back!

Lake Mburu National Park tour
A great tour, well organised, smoothly run and good value for money. We were looked after by Dan from Kisoro Tours Uganda and we really felt like he cared for us. He went out of his way on the return journey so we could stop off at a place of interest without any hesitation. Thank you Dan.

Trip of a lifetime
My daughter and I had a un forgettable trip with Winnie. She went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. We received one on one treatment and we still keep in touch. So grateful for her and her dedication.

Very well organised with great attention to detail from the start of the experience to finish.
I had an amazing time in tanzania thanks to Relight Childhope adventures. The safari weekend was an unforgettable experience, it was better than I could have imagined and an experince i will forever treasure. We spent 2 full days and 1 half day exploring 3 national parks. In each park we had the opportunity to see so many different animals in their natural habitat including the big 5. Our trip was a vibe everyday full of laughter, good music and excitement thanks to our guide Sabass who was very attentive and funny he made sure that we was provided with some much information about every single animal and place we saw and visited. Sabass made us feel comfortable and safe at all times which made the experince even more enjoyable. The fun contuined into the evening when we finished from safari we was taken back to camp where we stayed in the cutest little lodges and we were provided by evening entertainment which was cultural singing, acrobatic acts and dancing followed by amazing food. I would highly recommend Relight childhope adventures not only because of the amazing experince they provided me and my friends but also because of the work they do. When you book you know that a certain percentage of the cost goes towards helping local children and fulfilling their wishes and dreams and that alone makes them the perfect company to safari with.

Dan from Kisouro Tours Uganda took us on a 2 day trip to Mburo National Park.
A hugely enjoyable trip-very organised with safe driving and very comfortable accommodation with beautiful food and attentive staff. The amount of animals and birds we experienced was spectacular and exhilarating. So many species of birds plus crocodiles, hippos, zebra, giraffes, warthog, mongoose, snake, monkeys, frogs and many antelope. We had a wonderful time and can't wait til our next trip with Dan.

Wonderful 7 day Safari with Lion King Adventures
My wife and I just returned from a 1 week safari in Tanzania organized by Lion King Adventures. We had a wonderful time. We really liked our guide Khalifa, who made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. We went to Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Ndutu, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro crater. Each day was a completely different experience in terms of the environment and variety of animals. We saw every type of animal we hoped to see, including panthers, cheetahs, lions, hippos, rhinos, elephants, cape buffalo, zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests. We even got to witness a wildebeest being born, and watched it learn to walk and then run in just a few minutes. In many cases the animals were right next to our jeep. We stayed at luxury hotels where all of our needs were attended to. We cannot say enough positive things about how well Lion King Adventures helped us plan this trip and arranged it to meet our desires. This was a trip of a lifetime for us, and we are very thankful for Lion King Adventures making this possible.

Worthy of being the first choice for an African visit
Tanzania is one of Africa’s main centres for wildlife safaris and from our short experience it deserves to be on everyone’s list. We went in February and there was plenty of wildlife and the weather wasn’t too hot.
The parks manage the influx of tourists well and the guides make every effort to minimise their presence on the wildlife. The safaris are supported by a variety of accommodation allowing choice based on price and facilities.
The people are welcoming, friendly and have an unexpected proficiency in the English language. At no time did we have concerns for our personal safety.
Tanzania has everything for a pleasurable experience and definitely imparts the desire to return.

Serengeti great, ngonrongoro even better
We did a 4 day safari with SafariSoles and our great guide Raymond. Just us in the 4x4.
All the accommodation was clean and well looked after. It's important to note that in Serengeti you shouldn't expect luxury westernised hotels. Lodges and camps are exactly that. The staff are unfailingly polite and helpful.
The food is freshly prepared but simple. Don't expect loads of options.
We stayed at Serengeti Lodge, Sero tented camp and Rhino Lodge. Great and different experiences. You will hear the wildlife very close by.
We were lucky to see the big 5. You need luck but it helps if your guide is knowledgeable as ours was. The serengeti is vast, the ngonrongoro crater is absolutely amazing.
Breathtaking scenery looking down at the crater. The scenery at Rhino Lodge was good too.
The weather was hot but we were always comfortable. No issues with mosquitoes, tsetse flies were annoying in one zone but only temporarily.
Met a few Masai when stopping for lunch.
