Local, organized tour company with excellent customer service!
We cannot thank Geofrey enough for giving us the trip of a lifetime. He picked us up on my birthday in Arusha and we started our Safari. Making our way to Tarangire national park then to the Serengeti and finishing off Ngorongoro and lake manyara.
From the moment he picked us up and every moment in between. He shared all about every possible animal or bird we came across. He knew all about them and could decipher the small differences between one breed to another.
We are amazed at how good a driver he is and how well he navigated the crazy roads. Knowing which way to go and never getting lost. Especially with no street signs. We would have been lost on day one. We felt safe in Geofrey’s hands at all times.
Geofrey is a very polite, kind man. We feel as though having spent so much time with him this week that we’ve gotten to know him well. He didn’t think his English was very good. It was better than good. We never had any trouble understanding him. He shared with us about his family and how got into being a guide for safaris. A job very well suited to him.
Lion king adventures should count themselves lucky to have Geofrey as one of the Safari guides/driver’s. He managed to complete our Safari having found every animal we were hoping to see! Asante Geofrey, all the best to you and your family!
We want to thank lion king adventures as well. We researched a few different companies. In the end we went with them for a few reasons. They were always polite and quick to respond. They arranged every aspect of our trip and even helping us add on a couple days at the beginning to extend our stay and get accustomed to the time change. Highly recommend anyone coming from abroad to spend a couple days in Arusha before starting your safari. The other reason we went with them. They are a local company with their headquarters in Arusha. One of the camps we stayed at in the Serengeti is owned and operated by the company. We felt if there were any issues being local would be a benefit.
Thank you again to all the staff we encountered. From Chaz who picked us up from Kilimanjaro, to Tuma our driver for Materuni village visit and Adam our guide in the village. Asante

Amazing time with Lion King Adventures
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding 4-day safari experience we recently enjoyed with Lion King Adventures in Tanzania. From start to finish, the level of service and professionalism exhibited by your team was truly exceptional.
Our guide, Khalifa, was absolutely superb. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife, flora, and fauna enhanced our safari experience. Khalifa's passion for the animals was evident in every aspect of our journey, making each moment memorable and educational. His friendly demeanor and expert insights into the local environment ensured we felt safe and engaged throughout our adventure.
I must also commend Nickson for his excellent organizational skills and attentive service. His meticulous planning and attention to detail ensured that our safari ran smoothly from beginning to end. Nickson's personal touch and dedication to creating an unforgettable experience were evident throughout our trip.
The 4-day itinerary was well-structured, allowing us to witness an incredible array of wildlife in their natural habitats while taking in the breathtaking landscapes of Tanzania. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti & the Ngorogoro crater. The combination of Khalifa's expertise and Nickson's organizational prowess resulted in a truly life-changing experience that we will cherish forever.
I wholeheartedly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. The professionalism, knowledge, and passion demonstrated by the team have set a new standard for what we expect from a travel experience.
Thank you for providing such an exceptional safari adventure.

The Perfect Safari Experience
We had the perfect safari with Lion King Adventures. Setting up the shedule and details as well as and communication prior to the journey were very easy and smooth. Everything there was perfectly organized - we were picked up at the airport, the accomodations were exactly as described and very comfortable. Only the wifi was not always good, but still enough for our needs. Our guide - Murshid - was very experienced and knowledgeable and a very nice person. The food was really good and we even had lunches with warm food at the safaris. Thank you so much for taking care of us and providing us with such a wonderful experience!

Excellent in what they do.
Lion King Adventures was superb. My daughter and I did the 8 day budget safari. It was a dream come true for me!
Our safari guide Gama was just incredible. I am 75 and he took excellent care of me. Gama somehow knew how to spot the animals as well as get as close as you could to them. We saw the big 5 and so much more. We experienced the Great Migration three times! Unbelievable sight. So many wildebeest and zebras. Saw many lions , leopards, and cheetahs. Elephants and giraffes. So many other animals. Gama knew where they all were. He allowed me to stop at any time to take pictures of birds and flowers. Saw many hippos and baboons. I can’t say enough about Gama! I consider him a new friend.
Kareem was our chef. Oh my goodness the food was great and he gave a us variety. My daughter loved the zucchini soup. He cooked traditional Tanzanian food on the last night and it knocked it out of the park. He went out of his way to make sure I had a chair to help me get off the ground in the tent.
We also opted extra for a cooking class to learn to cook Tanzanian food. Wonderful! We were able to see dancers and drummers for African music rehearse. Fascinating!
Then had another dream fulfilled-a hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti. Incredible sights of the animals below. Then a full English breakfast in the Serengeti Highly recommended.
Roads were a trip- rough. Gama called it getting a massage! Also did a village tour. Markets and artists. Learned a lot.
Our city guide when we first arrived, Simon was great too. He went the extra mile when we arrived in Arusha. Made us feel welcomed immediately. Very knowledgeable about the local culture and safaris in general.
This has been an incredible experience. The circle of life and nature. All the animals were incredible to watch. A very moving experience. While here I became know as Bebe- Swahili for grandma. Nicknamed by the hot air balloon guys.
Again, Lion King treated us so good. I wouldn’t use anyone else. I highly recommend them and Gama was the best.
It was so easy to make the reservation and Nickson answered every question I had. Very responsive with communicating. Tents were good and the lodges were nice to stay in. 11/10 would highly recommend. Woohoo!
Lion King Adventures are amazing. I would recommend to anyone travelling in Tanzania.
The entire team at Lion King Adventures became part of our adventure from the first email enquiry through to airport drop off.
The team in the office, the drivers and the guides were always prompt, very helpful and knowledgable.
We saw the big 5 across our 7 day all inclusive luxury safari, travelling through Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater. We were actively trying to spot animals. Our guide stopped for anything we spotted and shared his knowledge of the animals birds and plants. He also stopped for animals he spotted either far in the distance or under camouflage.
The accommodation was indeed luxury, the food was amazing and the people we met along the way made our adventure so memorable.
Thankyou so much Lion King Adventures.

Gama was attentive, knowledgeable, caring and friendly.
I HIGHLY recommend Lion King Adventures for all of your safari needs. We did a 8 day budget camping safari. Lion King provided a once in a lifetime experience! This trip exceeded our expectations beyond what we could ever imagine. Nickson was very responsive when communicating throughout the various stages of planning this trip.
Our Arusha city guide, Simon, was wonderful! From the time he picked up us at Kilimanjaro airport to taking us to a cooking class to providing a city tour our first day he was attentive and great.
Our safari guide, Gama, and Kareem the cook were both amazing! Gama with his experience as being a guide provided us with outstanding opportunities to see animals. We were able to get some wonderful shots and videos. He was attentive and considerate with my 75 year old mother throughout the trip. He was knowledgeable and answered any questions we had about the animals and local culture. A wonderful person to be around! Kareem was great with preparing food each day. It tasted great! He hit it out of the park each day.
The hot air balloon safari was magical. The scenery and animals were amazing to see from above. The staff were friendly and professional. And took care of everyone.
The budget safari with camping was a great experience. The staff at each location were very friendly. Being able to hear lions roar to hyena's at night was quite the experience!
11/10 experience! Ask for Gama as your safari guide!

An unforgettable Safari in lifetime
For those who are planning an African Safari, I would highly recommend Lion King Safari.
We joint a 10 days trip for the great migration, from start to end, everything is efficient.
We are a group of 13 people from Hong Kong, we all enjoyed a memorable experience with our 5 tour guides namely : Mwita (leader), Gilbert, Macha, Immanuel and Huruna.
All of them are very helpful, nice, full knowledge of wildlife specious. Cars are kept clean everyday, they all have passions with their jobs. With an eagle eyes, they can spot all the African big 5 and many other wildlifes to us. We could see the river crossing within 2 hours after we arrived at the river bank.
They arranged everything properly including Honey Moon and Birthday surprise parties to our group members, and all of us appreciate and thank you very much to all our guides and Lion King office.
Hotels are very nice especially Nyota Luxury Camp, which is owned by Lion King, all staff are really nice and foods are delicious.
Thank you guides and Lion King, we hope we shall come to meet you again in near future !

Amazing 9-Day Safari with Lion King Adventures
Our 9-day safari with Lion King Adventures was an unforgettable adventure! Huge thanks to Jovitha and Rose for organizing everything so smoothly. Our guide, Shabani, was fantastic-he knew so much about the wildlife and made sure we had some incredible experiences, like getting up close with lions in the Serengeti and capturing an awesome picture of a cheetah.
The itinerary hit all the right spots, like Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, with just the right mix of action and downtime.
The lodges were cozy, and the visit to a Maasai village was a real highlight. Everything from airport pickups to park transfers went off without a hitch, so we could just relax and enjoy the experience. If you're thinking about a safari in Tanzania, I can't recommend Lion King Adventures enough-they really know how to make it special!

knowledgable, professional and very helpful
We were a group of 18 from The Caribbean and Canada. From the very start Lion King Adventures have been easy to deal with and very professional. We saw and learned so much in 7 days! Each day was better than the next. From the very start with Kabwe who created our itinerary to Rose who handled the logistics and answered many questions and our wonderful guides Richard, Mwita and Immanuel it was an amazing experience.
To Lion King Aventures we say asante sana!

What a responsive and caring tour operator!
Bear in mind, a trip starts with the planning and Lion King is right with you! From start to finish they take excellent care of you and this company packs a lot in every day once the tour starts to make sure you get your full value. The lodgings are unbelievable. In fact, I wish we could have stayed a little longer is some of them to fully enjoy them. You might want a day here and there to do the same in between the game days occasionally. Talk to them about this if you do.
Our guide, David, took wonderful care of us. Even at lunch time when we expected a box lunch he'd roll out hot food, wine, beer, actual plates and a table cloth. Talk about being pampered! Lion King strives to make sure you get exactly what you want and more.
I cannot imagine going with anyone else. This is a five star company. In the end, what will stand out is the people. Africa is amazing and it all begins with Lion King Adventures.
