We just spent 7 amazing days in Tanzania with Lion King Adventures. It was an unforgettable experience! We were two families with two vehicles and two fantastic guides, Frederick and Jackson. Everything went smoothly, from the initial planning with Pendo and Naurey, to the pickup, the wonderful lodging, the food and most importantly the guides who were highly knowledgeable and made every effort to get us to the right places to see the animals. The whole experience was highly professional. If I could, I’d do it all over again! Thank you, Lion King Adventures!

In the morning you will be collected from your lodgings in Arusha by our personal safari guide. We set out for Tarangire National Park across gently rolling Masai plains with scattered acacia trees. As we zip along we pass many Masai in their colourful dress walking on the roadside, riding bicycles, herding cattle and driving donkeys carts. Tarangire National Park, well known for its large elephant herds, is also host to a multitude of other creatures. From the open roof of our safari jeep we experience the seasonal swamps, savanna and life giving Tarangire River endeavouring to encounter a multitude of creatures from zebra to wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, and giraffe, to name but a few. It is possible we will glimpse lion stalking prey or leopards relaxing in the trees above. After our extensive game drive we depart to drive to one of our Luxury partner lodges for dinner in a tasteful restaurant and a most capacious room to harbour our ease and dreams of wild cats!
Day 3

After breakfast we will continue with your epic safari - Lake Manyara National Park. This relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha, is so named for the shallow salt lake which covers a good seventy percent of the parks surface area. Flooding and drying with the seasons the soda lake is home to thousands of flamingo as well as over 500 other bird species. On our exploration of the park we will see monkey, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for its diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains, but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab dotted cliffs. After another memorable game drive we, with our adventure at an replete with images of the African wilds to last a lifetime.

After breakfast we journey on heading up towards the fertile highlands where wheat, coffee, and corn, are grown by the Iraqw people. Passing through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, we will be afforded a view of the breath-taking Ngorongoro Crater before traveling onwards to the Serengeti National Park which we will reach by midday. The Serengeti National Park is the largest park in Tanzania covering an astounding 15,000 kms squared with diverse landscapes and habitats such as grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannah and mountain. Here the great migration of wildebeest, zebra, and antelope takes place and, depending on the season, we may have the opportunity to witness thousands of animals on their search for food and water. After an extensive game drive, we drive to the Seronera Valley for an evening meal and overnight stay at Lahia Tented Lodge. Newly renovated, with tents raised on wooden daises, a beautiful buffet dining tent, musicians and a fire on the plain.

This entire day is set aside for game drives upon the Serengeti. The Serengeti, the habitat of an abundance of wildlife such as impala, buffalo, crocodile, and hippo, is more well-known for its great migrating herds of zebra, antelope, and wildebeest. The animals’ trek is determined by the rainfall and varies from year to year. In November and December the animals move from the northern region, dominated by woodlands and hills, to the grassy plains of the south. During the longer rainy season from April to June they return to the north. Apart from the migrating herds, we may have the opportunity to see the resident predators, leopard, cheetah, and lion, fulfilling their role in the circle of life. After an unforgettable day, we will return to Lahia Tented Lodge for relaxation, dinner and our overnight sleep on The Endless Plain.
Day 6

After breakfast, you will drive from Serengeti National Park to the Ngorongoro Crater. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. Concealed by the steep volcanic walls is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps. The Crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. The drive down the into the Crater is an adventure in itself and when you reach the Crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The Crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands. After a full afternoon inside the Crater, you will head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay in Karatu.

You will be picked up from your accommodation and be driven straight to the airport which marks the end of your epic adventure.

An amazing week with our expert, Joseph. We toured four parks and covered many miles across Tanzania. We were able to amend the Lion King itinerary to meet our needs and stayed in excellent accommodation, with Maasai security at several and Zebra watching us eat breakfast! On the drives we saw everything on the list including 77 lions, several leopards and cheetah, lots of elephant (young and old) and will be talking about this trip for years to come. Joseph taught us how to spot the difference between species and expertly navigated the bumpy roads, respecting the animals needs, but getting us close to the action where we could. Highly recommend this trip.
We had a wonderful family safari holiday with Lion King. We saw more than we could have imagined in seven days. The accommodation was all excellent, in particular the Nyota Rift Valley Lodge which is a brand new hotel and beautifully presented. We were extremely well looked after by everyone, but in particular Naurey at head office and our wonderful guide Joseph who made the whole week an exceptional experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lion King Adventures.
It was the best experience, everything was perfectly arranged and Paul, our guide is the best, he is very experimented and made the safari remarcable.
After much planning, analysis of received quotes, there was one company that stood out. All our requirements and wishes were solved without the slightest problem. Met by our guides Hamad and Oswald at Arusha airport for safari through Tarangire, on to Ngorongoro and finally Serengeti. All our high expectations were exceeded several times over, every wish was fulfilled time after time so that we finally stopped being surprised A big thank you to everyone who has been with us and contributed to our fantastic experience. But!!! Hamad and Oswald, you delivered knowledge, commitment and a fantastic joy to all of us A big thank you Hanna, Rebecka, Susanne and Patrik
The tour was incredible, particularly notable: the privacy, our knowledgeable and respectful guide and the hot lunches. The free cold drinks in the back were also a bonus that pushed the holiday up another level. The experience perfectly blended the nature, culture and general atmosphere of Tanzania.
We really enjoyed our time with Frederik.
It was an amazing experience. It was everything we expected and more. We saw everything except for the black rhino. The best part was watching the lions and a cheetah feeding. Our guide Amani got us up close with a great view. I hardly needed my binoculars.
We honestly couldn't have asked for a better guide than Benji. His love for Tanzania, its wildlife and everything that comes with it is absolutely infectious. He's a fantastic ambassador for his country and clearly loves what he does. His knowledge is something else. Not just identifying animals, but understanding their behaviour, their patterns, where they're likely to be and when it's worth sitting patiently rather than rushing off to the next sighting. He always seemed to know where to look, how to approach and how to get us the best possible view. Nothing ever felt rushed, and there was always something new to learn - animals, plants or birds! Another thing we really appreciated was the effort he put in behind the scenes. Constantly on his radio or phone, sharing sightings, picking up tips and helping other guides along the way. And it was lovely to see just how well liked and respected he was by everyone we met, from fellow guides to the staff at every camp and lodge we stayed in. That says a lot about a person. And if there's anyone I'd trust to drive a Toyota Land Cruiser through the African wilderness, it's Benji! An exceptional driver, with a jeep that was somehow always immaculate, regardless of what we'd put it through that day. By our final day, after spending 12 hours together in the jeep, he genuinely felt more like an old friend than our safari guide. And even after all that time, he was still full of energy, enthusiasm and determination to find the next animal. Somehow, those 12 hours flew by. A brilliant character, a great sense of humour and a rather impressive love for Skittles! It's the little things, as much as the incredible wildlife, that we'll remember. His patience, his kindness, the laughs, enjoying looking at our photos and the genuine effort he put into making every day special. We'll miss the bush lunches and we'll certainly be keeping an eye on Simba FC's scores from Scotland! Benji, we wish you and your beautiful family all the very best. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know you, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to host this experience. Thanks Benji, and thanks Lion King Adventures, including Rebecca and Naurey who were a dream to liaise and create with. Special mention to Justin who was out first contact, driver, and language teacher. What an adventure! Will be back.
I'm not sure I can put into words how amazing our safari with Lion King Adventures, from the point we first enquired to being dropped off at the airport. We chose to do this safari for our honeymoon and we were not disappointed. It was out first time on safari and we will definitely be back. The itinerary developed in conjunction with lion king adventures was amazing. Our pick up at kilmanjaro airport was easy and Justin who did the pick up was very knowledgeable and friendly. Then onto our guide, Benjamin, who was absolutely fantastic. We could not have asked for a better guide, who was knowledgeable and kind. We loved seeing the relationship he had with other guides and how excited he was to find and show us all the animals. Our accommodation was perfect and everyone we encountered was so friendly and helpful. I could not recommend Benji and Lion king more. Absolutely 5 star service which has left us feeling like we've had the best honeymoon possible.
Amazing tour. We loved our guide Clement. The entire experience was above and beyond our expectations. He is very knowledgeable and makes sure he meets all of request. The balloon ride is worth every penny. It's a very professional organization. This was followed by an amazing champagne breakfast on the Serengeti
We couldn’t recommend Lion Kind Adventures enough, our tour guide Musa was absolutely fantastic, very reliable and very knowledgeable, we felt very comfortable with his driving too. This was our best holiday by far, can not put into words how incredible this trip was, especially the Serengeti. Thank you Musa!
Did a private tour with Robert for our honeymoon and it was spectacular! The company was very punctual and organized. Meeting up was easy. Our picnic lunch each day was enjoyable. All hotels were all definitely 4-5 stars. One of the hotels didnt have AC but they accommodated us by giving us extra fans and we were able to sleep very well. Service throughout the entire experience was premier status. Our hot air balloon got cancelled due to weather, but we still had a great time and got a refund easily. Robert was so knowledgeable about the animals. He taught us a lot about the national parks, animals, and the culture. We even ended up seeing every animal we wanted to see. Some things to prepare for is all the hotels we stayed at didn’t have heated pools, so if you wish to enjoy the pool, make sure you get to the hotel early in the day when it’s still hot. Also most of the safari cars, if not all, don’t stay cool with AC so def bring a portable fan and sun protectant. Our car had a mini fridge/cooler so luckily our drinks were chilled. It gets really dusty and luckily Robert was kind enough to roll the windows up when it was dusty and roll it back down when it wasn’t dusty so we could get some airflow. His driving was extremely safe so whoever gets him next is lucky!
From the very beginning lion king tours has exceeded our expectations. Communication was great, and they were able to tailor our safari exactly to what we wanted! Overall, it was an amazing experience from the moment we landed in Kilimanjaro airport! We did a 7 day all inclusive safari, which was the perfect length. Our guide Robert was friendly, and very knowledgeable. He was able to be flexible with our schedule in what we wanted, and taught us so much during the safari. We got to see all of the big 5! The hotels were top notch as well. Hospitality from the hotel workers was great, everyone was so friendly and willing to help. One recommendation I would suggest is to look up hotels with air conditioning as not all of them have it. Yes it is a luxury, but if it’s improved to you, then do that! We stayed at the Lake Burunge Tented Lodge the first night. What an amazing experience waking up to zebras and other animals right outside our door! Then we stayed at Manyara’s secret, the food here was also great! . Our favorite hotel was the four seasons, the water hole is a great experience to witness from the hotel. Would definitely recommend going with lion king adventures, they’re a local company that a lot of locals know about!
Trip of a lifetime!! Oswald (Ozzy) our guide was an absolute superstar. He made our trip so special we couldn’t thank him enough. We would 100% recommend Lion King Safari’s. All of our accommodations were fabulous. We were so well cared for we felt like royalty! A special thanks too to Rose in the office for making all the arrangements for our trip. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. 🙏
It was a very Good experience. In all three safari you will see different animals. All people who works in this operator was very kind; since organization of trip to finish. Specially Linet (organization) and Paul our guide. Paul shows a lot of experience.
It was a wonderful experience, paul was a very good guide with a lot of experience
We were completely satisfied with the organization of our 8-day safari with Lion King Adventures. Everything was very well planned and smoothly organized, from the airport pickup to the final drop-off. Our guides, Jafari and Camelius, were excellent. They were always punctual, very knowledgeable and informative, and we always felt safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. The hotels and lodges were first-class, and we were extremely happy with the overall quality and service. We saw an incredible number of animals and had some truly unforgettable safari experiences. One tip we would definitely recommend: don’t necessarily stick to the standard itinerary. It is worth considering using the smaller airstrips and flying between destinations, as this can save a lot of driving time. For example, flying directly to Zanzibar after the safari is a great option. Overall, we were extremely happy with Lion King Adventures and would highly recommend them. A perfectly organized safari with excellent guides and outstanding service from start to finish.
What a great adventure! We just finished our 7 day safari with Lion King Adventures, and it was fantastic from start to finish. Our contact in the office was Florida, who worked with us to make sure our time on safari was everything we wanted it to be. We visited the northern Serengeti, central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park. Our guide was Mwita, and he was amazing at finding the animals for us and getting us as close as possible for incredible photos. On one of the days, we saw 48 lions! This has been the trip of a lifetime, and we will definitely come back again and book with Lion King Adventures. They handled everything so professionally and made a complicated trip as easy as possible. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures and Mwita for an incredible safari experience here in Tanzania.
Wow! We just finished our third safari with Lion King Adventures and third time with our favorite guide, Mwita. What an experience! First of all, I’d like to commend Pendo and her office team as well as the mechanics who work on the vehicles for the incredible job they do, keeping everything running smoothly and handling all the complicated arrangements without any glitches. This is a professional, efficient and knowledgeable team that handles the planning and execution of the safaris without any issues. In addition to that, our guide, Mwita, has been wonderful for us for all three of our trips here. Over the past four years, Mwita has taught us so much information about the animals, insects, birds and plants here in Tanzania. Having grown up in the Serengeti, Mwita knows the roads inside and out, and the history of the area as well. He has an amazing sense of the movements and behaviors of the different animals, anticipating their travel routes and seeming to know where they will head before they even start to move. So many times, we would drive to a spot and wait for the animals to appear, and without a doubt, they would show up within minutes. We have seen the Big 5 every time we’ve come, and we saw them this trip within the first couple of days… FABULOUS! We highly recommend Lion King Adventures and especially, Mwita!
Our safari with Lion King Adventures was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we could not have asked for a better experience. From beginning to end, everything was exceptionally well organized, but what made our safari truly extraordinary was our guide, Hamad. Hamad is simply the best of the best. Every day, he seemed to know exactly where to take us and, just as importantly, when to be there. His knowledge of the terrain, wildlife, flora, and fauna is incredible. Thanks to his experience and instincts, we had amazing wildlife sightings and were often in the perfect place at the perfect time. Beyond his knowledge, Hamad is an outstanding driver and guide. His recommendations throughout the safari were excellent, and we always felt completely safe and comfortable with him. He is professional, patient, attentive, and genuinely passionate about Tanzania and its wildlife. You can tell that this is much more than a job for him. Traveling on safari requires spending many hours with your guide, and having someone you trust and enjoy being with makes an enormous difference. Hamad made every game drive exciting, educational, comfortable, and memorable. He truly became an important part of our Tanzania experience. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Lion King Adventures. And if you have the opportunity, request Hamad as your guide. We cannot recommend him enough. He is an exceptional guide, an incredible driver, and someone we will always remember as part of one of the most beautiful adventures our family has ever experienced. Thank you, Lion King Adventures, and especially Hamad, for giving our family memories that will last a lifetime. We would choose you again without hesitation!
Outstanding. Our guide, Hamadi was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind, and all around perfect. We would highly recommend him. We spent 3 days in the Serengeti, stayed at the crater rim at Ngorongoro, and also visited Tarangire and Lake manyara. Lodges were fantastic. Lion King was clear and helpful with planning out trip.
What a wonderful experience that was. From the moment we booked we got a professional attentive service. We got the greatest guide you could ask for, very professional, knowledgeabl and very sensitive to our needs. He drove us through the wonders of nature in the animal kingdom. The Liongking adventures are the kings!!!
Amazing trip - great communication from start to finish! The accommodation recommendations were stellar - we even were able to pick out specific accommodations at each stop. Our guide, Shabani, was amazing! His experience led to very good encounters with the animals in each park!
Words do not do this trip justice. I wondered if coming to Africa for Safari would be like visiting the zoo, but they are not at all the same. Our guide Shabani was knowledgeable, fun, and an absolute joy to be with for the week. He knew exactly where to put the vehicle so that we had the best view and even predicted the animals actions. We had multiple instances of lions, rhinos, elephants, and more right by the car! The accommodations were top tier and were wonderful to come back to after the heat and dust of Safari. My wife and I are already discussing our next African adventure and would gladly book with Lion King Adventures again, especially if we could have Shabani as our guide again.
Every aspect of our trip was Incredible. The logistics were flawless from airport to airport. The accommodations were beyond luxurious and the food was exceptional. We saw everything we hoped to see and so much more. Our guide, Humad, had great english, incredible insight and experience and got us up close to all the action. We saw Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Hippos, Leopards, Cheetahs, Rinos, Buffalo, Wildabeests and so much more. This is a great tour company and I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again. The value for our money was truly exceptional.
Lion King Adventures was the perfect choice for our family trip! They took care of everything for us, so we were stress free the whole trip. We had a free day after arriving in Arusha and day of they arranged a driver to take us around Arusha. The safari was well organized and took us through a variety of parks. The accommodations were all beautiful and had delicious food. Our guide, Hamad, was excellent! He was very knowledgeable and answered our many questions. He has years of experience, so he knew the locations to take us for specific animal sightings. We were able to see every animal we dreamed of and more! I would highly recommend Hamad to be your safari guide.
I highly recommend Hamad as a guide. He was knowledgeable, knew the areas well, and took us to see all sorts of wildlife! We were relaxed and had everything we needed. The accommodations were the nicest I have ever been to and the food was delicious. The vehicle was well maintained, and everything went smoothly. When you book, request Hamad and you're sure to have a fantastic trip! His knowledge, expertise, and hospitality made our trip amazing!
Hamadi gave my family & I an incredible and forever memorable experience. The price was right considering the amount of hours spent on safari game drives - The itinerary was meticulous perfectly. Our guide was so knowledgeable in answering all our questions about the animals and knowing the best spots to find the animals and his driving was always safe & purposeful. I highly recommend booking your safari through Lion King Adventures!
If you’re going on an African safari, you must go with Lion King Adventures and ask for Hamadi. We went as a family of six and everything was organized and well planned with beautiful accommodations and stunning game drives. Our guide, Hamadi, made the trip especially memorable. He was very kind and knowledgeable about the animals, areas, and cultures we encountered on our trip. He made our time in Tanzania unforgettable. Next time, we will be requesting him personally!!
What an incredible trip! Lion King Adventures took such great care of us. The accommodations and service were top-tier and truly impeccable. Special thanks to our guide, Geogfrey, whose knowledge and expertise made the safari unforgettable. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone planning a safari!
This was truly an experience of a lifetime! Benjamin was fantastic, and I would highly recommend anyone request him as your guide. We saw more animals than I ever dreamed of seeing including a cheetah hunting and getting her prey. Benji was so easy to work with and gave us the best possible safari experience. Nickson, who was our office contact, was also very easy to work with and answered all of our questions The accommodations were delightful, and don’t be mislead by “tent”. It is much better than glamping. I would recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone who is looking for a safari company.
Our safari was fantastic; we managed to see the "Big Five" and hundreds of other animals. We didn't get to see the wildebeest crossing the river due to the weather, but everything else was great. Our guide, Haruni, was very attentive, and we were always able to view the animals without being crowded by other vehicles. I would recommend his services without hesitation.
We’ve just returned from an incredible private safari with Lion King Adventures, and we honestly couldn’t recommend them highly enough. When we first started looking at who to book our safari with, there was so much choice that it felt a little overwhelming. We ultimately chose Lion King based on their fantastic reviews and the prompt, helpful communication we received when making our initial enquiries - and we’re so glad we did. We spent 7 days on safari, visiting Tarangire, Serengeti and Lake Manyara National Parks, and the whole experience was beyond anything we could have expected. The safari vehicle was comfortable, the accommodation and food were incredible, and the wildlife we saw was simply unbelievable. We saw far more animals than we could ever have imagined and came away with memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. A special thank you to Naurey for her expertise, advice and, most importantly, her patience with our endless questions while planning and in the lead up to our departure. Thank you also to Justin and Simon for getting us to and from the airport. And last but certainly not least, a huge thank you to our wonderful guide, George, who was just brilliant. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, and his knowledge, enthusiasm and patience made the 7 days even more special. He was not only an excellent guide but also wonderful company throughout the trip. From the initial enquiry right through to the end of our safari, Lion King Adventures delivered an absolutely fantastic experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania.
Accommodations were incredible! So luxurious! And Gilbert with Lion King was an incredible guide! We saw everything we had hoped for and more including the Great Wildebeest Migration! He worked so hard to find everything we were interested in. Lion King Safaris and Gilbert as a guide are the absolute best!
Excellent safari!! Our guide Gilbert was very knowledgeable and made sure we had an excellent wildlife viewing experience. He was very friendly and personable and made our entire tour a wonderful experience.
Thanks to a fantastic guide, we saw it all and more. Thank you Gilbert!
My wife and I did the 7-day private luxury tour through Tanzania (though we had to condense it to 6 due to our schedule constraints), and everything was amazing. It’s door to door service the entire way - all you have to do is get there. From the time you exit the airport to the time you’re dropped back off everything is taken care of by the friendly and professional staff. Our lodging options (Gran Melia, The Retreat at Ngorogoro, & Nyota Luxury Camp) were clean, comfortable, and offered breathtaking views. The rooms also truly are luxurious, even in the heart of the Serengeti. The shuttle drivers were top tier with their ability to navigate the sometimes chaotic traffic, and our guide Benjamin was fantastic. He was a pro at spotting the wildlife, but also at positioning us to where they would likely be moving towards so we’d get great views and photographs, as well as providing knowledgeable insights to species types and behavior. Food was fresh and delicious the entire way, and everyone was mindful to accommodate my wife’s vegetarian restrictions. The only piece of caution I’d have is that the roads are rough - nothing any tour company can do about that - so if you have a bad back or neck, really be sure you understand what you’re signing up for before committing to any safari at all. Also, the trip wasn’t objectively “cheap”, but this was the premium/luxury option after all. They have other more budget conscious options for those more fiscally responsible, and in our opinion this was well worth the cost. We saw leopards eating, lions mating, hippos fighting, cheetah playing, and many other memories that we will keep forever.
Loved the trip seen every animal I wished to see driver Robert was excellent
From start to finish, this was an incredibly smooth and memorable experience. Communication with Jovitha and Naurey was excellent—they were responsive, accommodating, answered all of our questions, and made it easy to customize the trip around our preferences. The safari itself was simply phenomenal. We truly hit the jackpot with our guide and driver, Goodluck (aka “Eagle Eyes”), who made an already special experience far better than we could have hoped. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating information about the animals, birds, trees, and flora we encountered. He was also exceptionally patient, always giving us as much time as we wanted to watch and photograph the animals. What impressed us most was his incredible ability to spot wildlife that we would have completely missed, even while driving! His experience really showed. He often took us to areas where there were few or no other safari vehicles, which made the experience feel much more private and immersive. All of the accommodations were top-notch, the food was excellent, and every Tanzanian person we interacted with was exceptionally kind, welcoming, and hospitable. We could not recommend LKA more highly. If you are planning a safari in Tanzania, this is an experience you will not forget!
We chose Lion King Adventures for our Tanzania safari because of its many positive reviews, and they absolutely exceeded our expectations! From our very first contact, the team was quick to respond to our questions and worked with us to create an itinerary that included everything we wanted to see and do. They also provided all the information we needed, from visa requirements to packing essentials, which made preparing for the trip so easy. Once we arrived in Tanzania, our guide, Frankie, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and professional, and he went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. The hotels and lodges they selected for us were also excellent choices. Everything was thoughtfully planned and executed from beginning to end. Thank you, Lion King Adventures, for an amazing experience! This was truly one of our most memorable trips, and we would highly recommend you to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
Wow!! Where to begin.. It has been absolutely the best holiday of my life.. From start to finish!! The hospitality of the Tanzanian people made us feel so welcomed everywhere we went and stayed.. But the highlight was our guide/ driver named Goodluck!! We could not have been luckier!! His animal and aviary knowledge would be hard to beat.. We felt so safe and secure the whole time.. His driving skills were exceptional, considering the terrain.. It was obvious he knew his way around extremely well.. But most importantly we appreciated his eternal patience.. Considering my daughter, who is an amateur photographer, was trying out her newest camera.. He waited with the patience of a saint until she got the shot she was looking for.. We would definitely love to return ( in the near future) to try a different route.. And guaranteed.. We’d want the same guide!! Thanks again Lion King Adventures for making this happen for us!! We will definitely recommend your company to our family and friends.. Hoping you have continued success in the future! Best wishes in 2027
Our safari with Lion King Adventure was absolutely flawless, and a huge part of that was thanks to Ezekiel, our incredible guide. From the very first moment, he was super organised, attentive, and made us feel completely safe throughout the entire journey. Ezekiel’s driving skills are outstanding: smooth, confident, and always respectful of the environment. What impressed us the most was his ability to find the perfect spots to see wildlife at its best. Every day felt magical: lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, you name it… he always knew exactly where to go and how to position the vehicle for the best view. His knowledge, professionalism, and calm presence made the experience unforgettable. Everything and everyone was impeccable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly, highly recommended.
We had absolutely the best time with the safari trip for our honeymoon! It's our first time in Tanzania so we didn't know where to start, the booking team did an excellent job customizing the day-to-day itinerary for us to make sure we hit all the spots we wanted in the most efficient and comfortable way. They also sent us a checklist beforehand of how to prepare for the trip including visa, insurance, what to wear for the safari etc, which was a huge help so we know what to expect once we arrived. The pick up/meet up was also communicated and arranged perfectly, we never felt lost for a second. The hotels are all amazingly beautiful, spot clean, comfortable bed, nice hot shower, good food, and the staffs are all wonderful. Our safari guide Ezekiel is fantastic. He's extremely experienced and knowledgeable from his 18 years as a safari guide, while also always warm, friendly, patient and thoughtful. He always planned the day ahead with us, explain what we would do, so each day felt well paced and well structured. His driving is also excellent which makes a big difference for those long drive and VERY bumpy road! He always drives very safely but somehow always knows where to park for us to have the best view of the wildlife. We saw all the big five, the great migration and many other beautiful animals thanks to his navigation. Thank you Ezekiel and the Lion King team for this unforgettable experience!
We had an incredible safari experience! Everything was perfectly organized, from the accommodations to the game drives, and the entire trip exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to our guide, David Kisport, who made the experience even more memorable. He was extremely knowledgeable, attentive, friendly, and professional. His experience and keen eye helped us spot many animals, and he always shared fascinating information about the wildlife, nature, and local culture. Everything was wonderful from beginning to end, and we highly recommend this safari, especially with David as the guide!
My wife and I booked our Honeymoon safari with Lion King Adventures and absolutely loved it. When we first got in contact with Lion King they were very responsive and helpful in assisting us with designing our route and hotels for the trip as well as catering to our pick up in Moshi due to a Kilimanjaro hike immediately prior. Nickson was also fantastic with logistics once we had settled on an itinerary, helping us with the payment and the specific details of the booking. On the safari itself, Adam our guide was brilliant. A truly wonderful person, exemplified by his character. While in the Serengeti, a fellow game vehicle had broken its suspension. Adam asked us if it was okay to assist, before he helped the other vehicle create a makeshift suspension to get them going again. In addition, while on the drive regularly sharing cool sightings and directions with guides we passed and getting directions for us to sightings too! A very calm and friendly presence, he was fantastic at getting us good sightings of all the big five and many other smaller animals (lizards, hyrax, baboon etc), whilst remaining respectful of the animals, maintaining suitable distance. Adam is very knowledgeable about the animals and the national parks, always happy to have a chat and discuss with us! Thank you Adam very much, you really made our Honeymoon special! Finally, in terms of the accommodation and food, this was also excellent. Personal highlights for us were the Nyota Luxury Camp and the Ngorongoro Rim Lodge, but all of the hotels had their own character. The food was fantastic the whole way through. All but one day the lunch on the game drive was hot food made by the hotels we stay at the night before, which was fantastic. The other day was a packed lunch which was still lovely (and filling)! Overall, we had a great experience, seeing our first Cheetah in the wild and witnessing multiple crossings of the great migration. We can't thank Lion King enough and everyone on their team that made our Honeymoon so special!
My husband and I came here for our elopement/honeymoon and had a fantastic time. Our guide, Mkwanda was super helpful, knowledgeable, and kind. We loved the safari experience
This 6-day Safari with our guide David was an amazing experience. He was the best at driving and spotting the most incredible animals for us (cheetahs, leopards, rhino, lions....). Thanks to his great expertise and knowledge, we've learned a lot about the beautiful nature and culture that Tanzania has to offer. Everything was so well organized for pick ups, transport, park entries fees, picnics and hotels, that all we had to do was enjoy and we very much did.
We had a fantastic experience doing the Safari with Lion King and our excellent guide Jafary. Thanks to Jafary we manage to see all Big Five very close and the amazing migration crossing river Mara. Thank you Jafary for making this safari memory for life
I have had a fantastic safari with Lion King, it has been the best adventure ever. I saw big five and a lot of other animals as for exsmple cheeta, and all animals very close. Our guide Jafary is the best guide i have ever had and I can really recommend him!
