Excellent agency- very professional and very kind people.
I don't have enough nice words to describe the complete experience with Lion King Adventures! The 4 of us (my husband, my 15 year old daughter, 14 year old son and I) arranged a 6 day safari during which we visited all the most beautiful locations and slept in 5 different accommodations. The Lion King team left us speechless. From start to finish - a flawlessly organized trip and extremely friendly employees, starting with Eliah (with whom I agreed on the travel conditions), Florida who guided us through all the important information until the start of the safari itself, the guys who met us for transfers to and from the airport (I think they were Chaz and Justin) and finally the best of the best- our guide. Mr. Goodluck Lucas who blew us away with his knowledge, patience, kindness and generally his character. He did his best to make this trip our best yet - and it was (and we travel quite a lot).
I would definitely recommend Lion King agency, because we have never seen such a level of organization anywhere and most importantly - all with a smile and great kindness. We are from Croatia and we have traveled almost all of Europe, a little bit of America and Cuba. This was the most demanding trip for the organization, but thanks to Lion King it turned out to be our best trip so far.
A big thank you to the whole team, especially our guide Mr. Goodluck Lucas with whom we spent the most time and who satisfied all our wishes, took us to all those beautiful places and told us a lot of information about Tanzania, their culture, animals, national parks, nature and so much more...
Thank you Lion King Adventures!!!

Simply the best !
We went to Ndutu end of February and it was one of the best Safaris ever.
We saw lots of animals especially lions, zebras, Wildbeast, Chitas, and even a Leopard climbing the tree next to our car. Goodluck, our guide, was amazing, he was sensing what the animal would do or go next and always brought us in a position to be either the first or to have the best view. I always would recommend Goodluck and defenitely will ask for him again with my next safari.
The camp we stayed Pure Migration camp was in an area where you could see elefants at night near the camp. It was very clean and the team there was very accommodating. Any request, if it was in their hands, was fullfilled with a smile and a 'Karibu'.
All in all, I highly recommend Lion King who organized everything in a very professional manner and also organized some extra wishes.
Thank you

Fantastic
Our safari trip with Lion King was amazing! Coming from California, I was worried about the logistics but everything was taken care of! We were picked up in Kilimanjaro and taken to our 1st accommodation in Arusha. In day 2, our lovely guide Yuself picked us up and we were off to a fabulous 5 day safari trip of a lifetime! He made sure we were taken care of! We were spoiled beyond belief! Imagine warm picnic lunches in the Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, served on a table cloth and wine! We saw thousands of animals. It was so dreamy. And all the accommodations were amazing! If you’re thinking about a safari trip, do it! Don’t wait- life is too short! Pick Lion King, everything will be taken care of! We ended our trip with an amazing 4 night stay in Zanzibar, Stone Town is a must see and the water at the beach is the most beautiful shade of turquoise, and so warm. Thank you Lion King for making my dream come true!

trip of a lifetime
We traveled with Huruma as our guide and it was a life-changing experience. The staff, the food, the tour, everything was top-notch. We saw so many animals, the history, the biology, all of it was so fascinating. Huruma went above and beyond with driving to see a pride of lions, keeping us safe, getting great photos, seeing rhino sightings, the wildebeest migration. I wish we could stay forever, Tanzania was a magical place beyond description. Huruma was so professional, kind, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and energetic.
The food and lodging were nicer than any hotels in the US, it was truly incredible.
Lion King was communicative, clear, and very informative. Our stay in Zanzibar was great as well.
I would recommend Lion King to anyone and everyone!

Extra ordinary and flowless booking process for our February 2025 Wildebeest Calving Season Safari
This was our 12th Safari and 5th for Tanzania. Initially In March 29th of 2024, I contacted Lion King Adventures for our February 2025 Wildebeest Calving Season Safari and communicated with Mr. Godwin Olais. We new when we wanted to travel, for how many days at each lodges that we wanted to stay and that made it easy with Godwin and he provided with ALL the info that we needed. Believe it or not but by April 2nd (less than 5 days), we were able to nail down our travel program with respective itinerary.
Once the booking was finalized the communication with Lion Kings shifted from Mr. Godwin Olais to Nickson Obedi who was part of the reservation and logistics team. It was the pleasure to work with Godwin and then with Nickson.
Once arrived at Arusha Airport, we were picked up by our Guide and then the journey began.....
One note though: As we have been on to the Safaris a lot more time - Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and Botswana, we have had a very good experience and interacts with different Guides, unfortunately comparing to all of our experiences with all other tours, I would give only 3 Stars to our guide on this trip. I do not recall his name. Please accept my apology if I am spelling his name incorrectly - I think it was Sahiliah. Hardworking, well mannered and well knowledgeable of the Ndutu and Southern Serengeti parks but lacking the force that the guide/driver need on Safari in taking the guests to the sites safe but fast enough. At least half a dozen safari vehicles will overtake us when going to the same location and you miss the better chance to have your safari vehicle at better if not the best spot.
We were lucky to see a lot of lions - seven times, Cheetahs - five times , Elephants - almost every day - nine days and Leopards - 4 times plus all other animals. We had a great time and do not regrate anything as we were in Ndutu area for 9 nights and that is more than enough to see all that one wants to see.
We will be going Tanzania again and will surely see if things could work out with Lion Kings but request a more experience Guide/Driver next time.

Fantastic Tanzania
We embarked on our 9 day safari starting in Tarangire, where we were treated to hundreds of Elephant and Giraffe experiences. Even saw 6 lions, ( 2 on a night safari) which were snarling and flashing us their teeth. Ndutu was next with thousands of Zebra and Wildebeest. Balloon ride was the trip highlight. Serengeti revealed, Lions, Cheetahs, Leopard. Ngorogoro was like a set from Jurassic park, hundreds/thousands of different animals. This was a once in a lifetime trip and surpassed our expectations. Ozzy and Gilbert, our guides, were more than accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we were happy and comfortable. Extremely knowledgable and made the trip so much fun. Safari vehicles were always clean and well stocked with drinks and some snacks. Accommodations were fantastic.
Can't say enough about Lion King and our guides. Highly recommend this company. Overall we saw 73 different species of animals and birds.
We were in Tanzania and Zanzibar for a total of 21 days and Lion King organized our whole 3 weeks. It went off without a hitch. Thanks to all involved.

Amazing trip in Tanzania
Thanks to Lionking adventures for arranging a honeymoon trip for us, and especially for Benjamin, a warm, friendly and professional guide! We are especially careful and try our best to find animals, so that we can produce so many amazing photos just through mobile phones. We have seen the Big Five , including the extremely rare wild black rhinos. At the same time, thanks to the reasonable itinerary arranged by Lionking adventures, we can see so many animals. The most Later, I felt that the staff of Nyota camp let my wife spend an unforgettable birthday, I felt the enthusiasm of the African people. , I hope I can do it again and come to this land and participate in the adventure activities organized by Lionking adventures again!

Unforgettable memories
Our Game Drive in Tanzania was unforgettable, thanks to our guide, David. Always punctual and welcoming, he amazed us with his wildlife expertise, spotting animals effortlessly. Each day, he ensured our comfort by meticulously cleaning the vehicle, creating a pristine environment for our adventure.
David’s passion for conservation and storytelling brought the safari to life, making it both educational and thrilling. His professionalism and dedication made our experience truly exceptional. We highly recommend Lion King and David for an incredible Game Drive in Tanzania!

Incredible safari
Great agency. Fulfilled our every wish. We were able to make suggestions ourselves and the driver fulfilled our every wish. Everything was very uncomplicated and we can only recommend it. If we go on safari again then only with Lion King Adventures.

Outstanding!
7 day Luxury All Inclusive Epic Safari- the tour couldn’t be more accurate in description.
Tanzania was a wonderful place with such happy and friendly people everywhere. People smile all the time and every greeting was such a joy.
We visited 4 parks- each with completely different geography and wildlife.
The highlight of our trip was without question having the privilege of Shafino being our guide for our safari. He had such amazing and detailed knowledge of not only the animals, but also the areas history, the plants and had a great sense of humour.
Nothing was ever too much trouble for Shafino- he was totally relaxed to let us decide what to do- with his guidance on how to get the best out of each day. Early starts gave the best views of waking animals- Shafino was always on time ready and eager for our day to start.
Shafino had such a wonderful personality- he’s clearly very well respected by all the lodges we stayed in.
Shafino would go out of his way to make sure we were taking the best possible photos, always doing his utmost to get us to the animal sightings as quickly but as safely as possible.
In short- this tour has been utterly memorable, and we cannot thank our new friend Shafino and Lion King Adventures enough. It was simply a stunning week
