Close your eyes and select Lion King! Very well organised, executed and Mr Goodluck was phenomenal!
Mr Goodluck from Lion King was exceptional. His unparalleled eye to spot animals from a distance is absolutely amazing. We spotted all of the animals including cheetah leopard and the black rhino solely due to Mr Goodlucks experience of 20 years in spotting these animals. Also he was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. Overall the tour was very well organised and we had one of the most memorable time of our lives. Thank you Mr Goodluck and thank you Lion King!!

Professional, organized high quality
We did a 6 day, 5 night safari in Tanzania (Tarangie, Serengeti (2 nights) Ngorongoro Carter and Lake Manyara). All were beautiful and unique and highlighted different species of animals. I was most surprised by the amount and how close we were too so many. Our lodgings, all were first class (Hotel Gran Melia, Accacia Farm Lodge and Nyota Luxury Camp). Food was really good and our guide, Suliemon was exceptional.
Would highly reccomend.

Geofrey was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming which made our trip so memorable
We are so happy we went with Lion King Adventures for our safari - it was truly an amazing and unforgettable trip. The communication from the beginning as we were reserving the trip was easy and quick, with all our questions answered in a timely manner which helped make this process seamless and put us at ease heading into the trip. We went on a 6-day trip with Lion King Adventures and went to all the places we were hoping to see: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Crater.
Our safari guide, Geofrey Wanka, was fantastic and was truly a large reason why our trip was particularly so special and memorable. Geofrey greeted us every morning with a big smile. He was very informative and knowledgeable, teaching us so much about not only the animals we encountered but also about the beautiful country of Tanzania. He always made sure we were comfortable and prioritized what we wanted to see during the trip. We never felt rushed, and we easily saw the big 5 plus so many more animals on our trip (and he always got us the best views). His kindness and expertise throughout our safari made a lasting impression on us as we experienced an adventure of a lifetime.
We highly recommend others book with Lion King Adventures and to also ask for Geofrey as their guide!

Impeccable, reliable and caring in all respects
We could not have made a better choice, than to use Lion King as tour operator. After som communication with Maria at the head office it all came down to a very nice trip for me an my family (11 persons). We visited three parks and moved everyday to a new safari lodge. So it was some logistic to consider. It was spotless! not in one case did they fail in the arrangement.
We where very lucky to have Joseph and Leonard as our guides, they made each day interesting and fun. Very responible driving and they also knew how to get close to the animals. If you are going for a similar trip, ask for Leonard or Joseph, you will not regret it.
Thank you Lion King and thank you Leonard and Joseph for making this trip so memorable

Unforgettable experience, highly recommended!
We booked a six-day safari with Lion King Adventures. Booking the safari with Lion King Adventures was an excellent decision. The entire trip was well organized, and we were consistently satisfied with the itinerary and the accommodations we stayed in. Many thanks to Naurey and Peter. Everything ran smoothly and allowed us to enjoy every moment of our trip.
The trip was an unforgettable experience for us, thanks in large part to our amazing guide, Joseph. His experience, reliability, and extensive knowledge made the trip truly exceptional. He knew exactly where to take us in the national parks, found the best spots, and gave us the opportunity to see all the animals and experience things we would never have even dreamed of. This allowed us to get a thorough understanding of the impressive wildlife and breathtaking landscapes of Tanzania. We highly recommend Joseph as a guide to anyone looking for an extraordinary safari adventure. So don't forget to request him when booking.
Ansante sana for this wonderful experience!

Unforgettable Tanzanian Adventure with Lion King Adventures!
Today is the last day of our most incredible 12-day customized safari and beach vacation to celebrate my 60th birthday. I can’t wait until we get home to write this review…we have had the trip of a lifetime thanks to Lion King Adventures. By booking directly with the Tanzania company Lion King Adventures, we not only saved a lot of money compared to using a big global travel agency/middle man, but we also received personalized attention and expert guidance from Jovitha and Rose throughout the planning process. They were so helpful and responsive and let us customize one of their safari/beach itineraries to meet my specific desires.
Our guide, Shebi, was truly the icing on the cake. With his vast experience and knowledge, he seemed to have a sixth sense for knowing exactly where the animals would be. His warm and personable nature made him a joy to be around, and he patiently answered all our questions about the animals, Tanzania's culture, and history. Shebi was our good luck charm, and we felt grateful to have him by our side throughout our adventure. We traveled in style in our private, comfortable 4x4 jeep with cushions on the seats, and cold beverages ready whenever we wanted. Everything was handled for us and we didn’t have a care in the world.
The highlights of our safari were countless, but some of the most unforgettable moments included witnessing a rare black rhino crossing right in front of us in Ngorongoro Crater, getting up close and personal with majestic male lions, spotting a mother cheetah with her adorable cubs, seeing a sleek leopard with a fresh kill in a tree, and marveling at the sheer numbers of zebra, wildebeest, and elephants. The Serengeti sunrise balloon ride arranged by Lion King Adventures was a breathtaking experience that left us in awe. We floated low directly over a beautiful giraffe, which was the most surreal experience of a lifetime!
We visited Tarangire, spent two unforgettable days in Serengeti National Park, and explored the stunning Ndutu region. Our luxury-level lodges and tented camps were exceptional, providing the perfect blend of comfort, amenities, and immersive wilderness experiences.
After our safari adventure, Lion King Adventures arranged our flights to Zanzibar, where we indulged in five blissful nights of relaxation at a beautiful all-inclusive beach resort. The perfect way to unwind and recharge after our action-packed safari. Everything was first class at our resort and we felt very pampered in the beautiful setting.
In summary, our experience with Lion King Adventures was nothing short of phenomenal. Their expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to providing unforgettable experiences made our Tanzanian adventure truly special. If you're considering a safari or beach vacation in Tanzania, look no further than Lion King Adventures. We can't recommend them highly enough!

Simply incredible & beyond our wildest dreams ….
In Jan 2025 we wanted to do something special and memorable for our sons 30th birthday and my husbands 60th birthday. After considerable research we chose a combined Safari and beach holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar.
For the Safari we booked through Lion King Adventures who were extremely helpful & professional. Nickson was our contact & he helped with accommodation, transfers & booking additional excursions including an unforgettable sunrise hot air ballon experience over the Serengeti.!
The staff at the tented camp were all very friendly and went out of their way to make the customer experience very special. This included noting it was our son’s birthday and did an African dance & cake celebration.
The tented camp was of high standard and very comfortable. There was a good selection of food available for breakfast and evening meals and for safari trips into the Serengeti tasty lunch boxes were provided. The pool area was stunning but with the long safari days we didn’t have time to fully use the superb facilities.
Our guide, GoodLuck, was first class, he asked what we were all keen to see and using his extensive knowledge, made sure we could see all what we wanted and so much more….including taking us to see the Wilder beast migration which was a spectacular sight…a big thank you from our family.
We would highly recommend Lion King Adventures as we had an out of this world safari experience with some fantastic lasting family memories. Thank you.

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!
