Memories made for a lifetime
We were picked up at the airport on time and the driver was very friendly. The accommodations were also super cute and we really loved staying there. Our guide Leonard was amazing, he cared very well for us and listened to our questions and wishes. He told us many interesting things, we saw so many animals and he was super flexible when one of us got a cough and we asked to start the safari later. He even drove to a pharmacy with us. And we made it to our flight on time. So long story short - we loved our adventure with Lion King Adventures.

Could not recommend more!
We had an amazing experience on our 9 Day Luxury Safari with Lion King Adventures in November 2024. We saw every animal we hoped to see across the four distinctly unique parks we visited - Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro - including jaguars and rhinos. Our accommodations (Gran Melia Hotel, Maramboi Tented Lodge, Escarpment Luxury Lodge, Nyota Luxury Camp) were beautiful, spacious, and modernly outfitted, and the service was top-notch. The weather cooperated wonderfully with sunny 70/80 F days. Our private jeep was perfect for four people, comfortable, always clean, and stocked with infinite water and soft drinks. And, of course, we had a fantastic guide through it all - Salehe. Salehe was kind, good-natured, respectful, patient, and deeply knowledgeable of the animals, parks, and routes. He also had a good sense of humor, which we very much appreciated! Thank you again Salehe and Lion King Adventures!

professional and helpful
It was my first time visiting tanzania and playing a gamedrive, so I was half worried and half excited, but the guide gama was kind and detailed, so I was able to enjoy a pleasant four-day tour.

An unforgettable experience
We're so happy we went with Lion King for our Honeymoon Safari. All staff we have dealt with were very professional from start to finish, they were very fast with communication all throughout and we were able to customise the experience. We loved every hotel they chose for us and we felt very much taken care of every step of the way. The organisation of the safari from hotel bookings, park fees, check-ins etc was flawless everything went so smoothly. We booked the 5 day safari and added a few days in Zanzibar which we're so glad, it was amazing to finish off with a relax by the beach. Now about the Safari itself: it was our first time in Tanzania and we were absolutely blown away by what we were able to see: we saw everything we were hoping to see and more. We lost count of how many lions we saw, up very close and we had 2 stunning encounters with cheetahs. We saw all big 5, with only the shy rhinos hard to see up close! Our guide Joseph was always attentive, flexible, friendly and very knowledgeable. He helped us to take the best photos for memories we will never forget. If you're thinking about doing with a safari just book it, you won't regret it!

Funtastic :)
We were on honeymoon and arranged a customized Safari at Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire. Lion King Adventures easily prepared a package we were looking for. Our guide Suleiman was waiting for us at Arusha airport and we immediately started the journey to reach Serena Lodge in Ngorongoro in time. On the way he already showed and explained everything of Tanzanian beauty. Next morning we started the safari very early due to our tight timing and Suleiman continued explaining and showing animals we would have missed. He stoppped whenever we asked for it and showed us the animals we saw in a wildlife book he had with him. After a fantastic game drive at Ngorongoro where we saw 4 of the big five we continued to Tarangire Safari Lodge. Next morning 'Eagle eye' Suleiman saw the most amazing thing of teh Safari. A female lion with two puppies ond a small hill. Incredible nice. And for sure we would have missed it.
All in all I was in Tanzania very often and made lots of self arranged safaris but this was my best. Thanks a million to Suleiman who was a guide we could not find a better one. Driving carefully, explaimniğng and showing all the beauty of Tanzanian landscapes and wildlife.

Fantastic experience from start to finish.
Can happily recommend going on safari with Lion King. They were responsive and helpful during the booking process, price seemed very fair (compared to other places we got quotes from/for the quality of the trip), and we had an incredible time from start to finish. We did a "Luxury" tour and stayed at great hotels/lodges, ate well, etc. Our guide, Salehe Kimosa, was fantastic as well. Truly no complaints - would point any friends/family in Lion King's direction if they were planning a safari in Tanzania.

Outstanding
For our first time in Africa, I was naturally nervous about what to expect. However from the moment we were picked up from the airport to sitting in our final lodge (before going to Zanzibar tomorrow) every second has been nothing short of incredible. All the accommodation has been outstanding and the food amazing. The hospitality has been second to none.
Dealing with the Lion King team (Jovitha and Florida) made booking the trip seamless. Our guide, Gama, has been fantastic. His sense of humour, knowledge, patience while we watch the animals and all round good company has made us enjoy the experience even more. He knows all the best spots to see the animals (better than other tour companies we saw) sharing his knowledge and answering all our questions. Thank you so much Lion King for the trip of a lifetime.

Incredible - could not be faulted
It’s difficult to know where to start. What an incredible safari we are having, before going on to Zanzibar tomorrow.
The accommodation has been outstanding - from the beautiful Gran Melia in Arusha through to sitting watching wildebeest next to a lodge with a glass of wine, in the middle of the Serengeti. We felt very spoiled by the experience and by the very friendly staff.
Then the safari… we have seen a huge number of animals, including all the Big 5, thanks to our knowledgeable and experienced guide, Gama. Lions, hippos, giraffes, 2 black rhino, hyenas… the list goes on.
Gama has been incredible. It feels like we had “the safari boss” with us all week - not only is he very knowledgeable and welcoming, but he has been determined to give us the best experience possible. The safari could never have been so outstanding without him in charge.
Thank you to everyone at Lion King!
