The best and we saw everything!
It was an amazing experience. We saw so many animals living freely. We saw both male and female lions, cheetahs, hyenas, leopards in trees, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, and many more. Our guide, Leonard, had an incredible eye, he could spot a rhino far in the distance even while driving. He must have a lot of experience to be able to show us all the animals we wanted to see, and of course, his service was excellent. We loved the picnic meals, and the accommodations were fantastic. The tour company was very well organized. A friend of ours recommended Lion King Adventures, saying it was excellent, and we must say we were not disappointed, it was absolutely worth every penny. Thanks Leonard! We wish you and your family all the best! :)

Amazing Experience with Lion King Adventures
This was our first trip ever to Tanzania and I am super glad we chose Lion King Adventures to take us on our safari trip. From when we were planning the itinerary to getting the details of our trip sorted out, everything was super efficient and their team was always responsive. Thank you Rose & Maria!
Salehe is an absolute treasure, he is super knowledgeable about the culture and the animals. He is so experienced he is able to track and anticipate the movements of the animals where we were always able to get the best shot. All this accomplished with the utmost respect to the animals. His sharp eyes and skills gave us many amazing experiences...from a cheetah chilling on our car to the most amazing close encounters with lions and elephants.
This whole trip has been absolutely wonderful, I couldn't have wished for a better trip nor a better tour guide and company! Highly recommend Salehe and Lion King Adventures

Excellent communication before and during safari
We are grateful to lion king adventures for putting together a great safari for us! Their communication was above and beyond. Incredibly responsive both before and during safari. They send clear expectations to help prepare you and work with you to create a safari that works for your budget and wishes. The accommodations and experience were above and beyond. Jackson was a great driver and guide. Incredibly knowledgeable! We were only disappointed that we were unable to see the great migration. We were led to believe in booking communications that if we discuss this wish with our guide while in the Serengeti that it would be able to happen. This was not the case as we were too far from it in the Serengeti. As vegetarians, we were also told that vegetarian options would be available at all accommodations. We were incredibly impressed by the options we had to eat except for our packed lunches. Had we known our driver or we needed to remind the accommodations to pack vegetarian lunches, this would have been easily remedied. We only realized our packed lunches came from our accommodations on the last day. Overall, a wonderful experience, tour operator, and guide. We would recommend them to all of our friends and family.

Fabulous experience with Lion King Adventures
The Lion King Adventures met every expectation of a life long dream of mine to travel to Africa to experience a safari. From my first contact to the end of our trip, their communication was nothing less than exceptional. The initial itinerary of our trip was modified to accommodate our desire to see the great migration. Lion King Adventures personalizes your travel plans and provides you with your own vehicle and private guide. From our very first interaction with Lion King we took their advice on the time of year that would best allow us to see the migration and be able to fit it into our travel schedule. Our itinerary did not disappoint. We were able to see four river crossings of the wildebeest in the northern Serengeti. Our night at the Mara Under Canvas tented camp was very cool. The accommodations were simple but perfect location in proximity to the Mara River. We woke up at midnight surrounded by wildebeest and again at 4 AM, surrounded by zebras.
Our guide, Immanuel, was exceptional and has a great eye for any animal movements in the Savannah, or in the trees, including the slight movement of a leopards’s tail or a cheetah lying on top of a termite hill. And we always had the best daily lunch of any other Tour groups around us. We always had ample bottled water on hand plus charging stations set up in the vehicle so that we never ran low on a charge for our cameras.
We selected the deluxe tour and our accommodations were spectacular. In fact, I could not imagine having had better accommodations throughout our trip. We saw the big five and so much more throughout our safari which included Lake Manyara. Tarangire National Park, Ngongoro National Park, and three days in Serengeti followed by four days in Zanzibar. There were a couple of slight hiccups in our tour that had nothing to do with the Lion King (like flight change to Zanzibar) however, Rose at the office, was quick to respond even during an evening or weekend. Communication is made simple with WhatsApp.
We would not hesitate to book with Lion King Adventures in the future. They were simply awesome to work with.

The best from start to finish!
Nothing can actually describe this amazing adventure. Luther was amazing. From our first sighting of these majestic animals, he shared our excitement. Always sharing in our excitement at seeing elephants and zebras in their natural habitat. Nothing prepares you for the exposure you will have with so many animals. Luther made sure we knew what we were seeing because some animals have special names, Grant Gazelles and Thomson gazelles, and so many birds. He made sure our days were filled with so many sights and at the end of each day we traveled to our safari lodge, which did not disappoint! You’re greeted by the friendly staff with juice and a cleansing towel. You’re taken to your cabin in the wild that takes your breath away. Dinners and breakfast are full of exciting new tastes and a bit of a preview of your lunch for the next day. Each day your eyes will be filled with sights you could never imagine. Herds of hundreds of animals you never have seen but in a zoo or on TV. You will be treated with such vast expanses of land preserved for the majestic animals that grace these lands. More than amazing more than spectacular. Definitely full service from start to finish!! Don’t miss out.

The trip of a lifetime with Lion King!
We just got home from our trip from Tanzania which was booked with Lion King - we couldn’t have possibly had a better experience. Our tour guide Camillus was wonderful the entire safari and everything went so smoothly. We will be recommending lion king to anybody who asks! 10/10 experience.

Everything has been exceptional
Everything with our safari has been exceptional, starting from the organisation, easy of communication and attention to our requests.
Suleiman has been a great driver, gave us lots of explanations and answered every question. Thanks to his experience we have been able to spot all the big five and lots of other animals.
I will absolutely recommend Lion king adventures for a safari and ask for Suleiman as a driver.

Amazing Safari Adventure
Our group of 8 recently worked with Lion King Adventures for trip of a lifetime. We worked with Caroline and Naurey to book our travels. They were very responsive to all of our questions and requests. Caroline modified our trip to meet our wishes. Both Caroline and Naurey responded promptly to all of our questions and helped us through the payment process. It was seamless. They also booked our lodging during our trip and the accommodations were amazing. Very comfortable and welcoming.
We were met at the airport by George and Jafari. They were with us for the first 2 days and were very accommodating and helped us find an ATM. What fun guys! Our trip started with them taking us to a hike at Mount Kilamanjoro where we saw an amazing waterfall. Maliki guided us on this tour and we ended up with a coffee tour in his village and an comforting lunch.
Gilbert and Macha picked us up the next day for our safari. They spent the next 7 days educating us on the animals, terrain and customs. . They work hard! We went on game drives everyday and they worked to ensure that we would see the amazing animals. Everyday they set up our lunch and at night they cleaned the vehicles. I'm not sure when they rested. Both were so much fun and we will always have fond memories of them!
We spent the last night at the Gran Melia hotel in Arusha. It was spectacular.
The lodging and food was more than we could imagine. Everyone at Lion King was more than helpful. From the time that they picked us up at the airport until we departed we were well taken care of. Their service was impeccable and we got more than we imagined for the cost of the trip.
Do not hesitate to use Lion King Adventures!

Everything you could ask for in a safari.
Lion King Adventures was awesome to deal with from the very first contact to the last day of our safari.
They were so responsive and helpful with questions and advice. Our guide, Joffery was so welcoming and knowledgeable the entire safari. We saw so many different animals from lions, crocs, impala, giraffe, elephants, rhino, flamingo, buffalo, hyena……the list keeps going.
The accomodation, meals and staff were outstanding!
I will be using these guys again!
