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.

Excellent tour for memories of a lifetime
We have been thinking about a safari in Tanzania for a long time and we were aware that it was essential to find a tour operator we could trust. We contacted six different companies to compare their offers and customers service. Lion King Adventures was not the cheapest nor the dearest but they clearly standed out by answering our questions and adapting the plans to our needs.
We were keen to see the migration so LKA recommended a 7-day tour that covered the North Serengeti along with Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara.
The organisation was perfect and we always felt very looked after through out our trip. Our brilliant guide Fredy managed to show us all the animals we wanted to see (and many more) and secured the best spot for us to see them. He is very knowledgeable about the animals as well as an excellent driver. Fredy and Nickson were also brilliant at recovering our luggage (lost by the airline!) on the move and adapting our itinerary on the go.
It’s been the trip of a lifetime and we go back home with so many memories to cherish, so it goes without saying that we will recommend the company to everyone!

We really enjoy the company of our guide Gama who was great , very pro and also full of humour . I would highly recommend a tour which mix safari , cultural and some hikes like waterfalls

Very well organised and varied
The tour was amazing. The organisation was very good and we found the trip itinerary was very varied and perfect. Our guide Gama was amazing and so good at finding animals on the safaris and telling us about them. He was very friendly and super knowledgeable which made the trip so memorable. Thank you Lion King and Gama for such an amazing trip that we will remember forever.

Organized, great communication and fantastic experience
Highly recommend Lion King Adventures. We booked a private tour for 6 people. The communication from Lion King Adventures in the lead up to the tour was excellent. They provided very clear communications throughout the process of planning, booking and preparing for the trip. Once the tour started everything went seamlessly and our guide (Ezekiel) was very friendly and helpful. Overall we had a fantastic experience and would recommend Lion King Adventures.

Top-notch professionals in every way. We hit the jackpot with Lion King Adventures
I have wanted to go on a safari since I was a child watching documentaries. I could not be happier with my lifelong dream becoming a reality with Lion King Adventures. Rose was so helpful with the itinerary and all our questions, and then on day 1 of our 9-day safari, our guide Fred Elias picked us up at the airstrip in Northern Serengeti and we hit the jackpot. I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job than Fred as a guide. He can read the movements of the animals and anticipate what's about to happen, and get the jeep into the perfect spot for fantastic photos (and watching) all while explaining the animal behavior to us. Spending 9 days together with Fred E was very special. I am in awe of his work as a guide (and as a great person) which translates into a life-changing experience for anyone who is fortunate enough to experience a safari with Fred Elias as their guide. He has 20 years of experience as a guide in TZ. In fact, we spoke to other safari goers who had very different experiences in the same locations, on the same day as us - that speaks volumes to our experience with our guide.
Every day was different with new experiences.
Lion King does a wonderful job of choosing great accommodations, and taking care of every detail along the way. A 5 star experience from start to finish!
A trip to Zanzibar first to get over jet lag before starting the safari, and then a few days at the end to explore Stone Town and visit a spice farm rounded out our dream vacation perfectly.
I've been recommending LKA and Fred Elias to all my friends who are interested in going on a safari.

Lion King Adventures created a super travel experience for our family.
Our trip with Lion King exceeded all expectations. The planning was easy and professional, with regular communications with the helpful staff who answered all our questions and gave us clear and reliable information. The itinerary was well planned, with opportunities for up-close encounters with many different types of wildlife in a variety of landscapes. Our knowledgeable guide Laizer was a pleasure and bonded with our grandkids. The hotels picked by Lion King were all terrific. Pricing was reasonable. In short, our best family vacation ever.
Unforgettable experience
It’s been always my dream to see river crossing animal and wildlife in a short distance, and I am so grateful that Lion King Adventures and our super guide Cornel make it come true!! Special thanks to Cornel, who helps us not only to spot different kind of animal, predict animal movement, find the best picture taking place, but also provide us detailed explanation of animal behavior and features. Also his good driving skill and cheerful personality gives great advantage to this journey. Additional thanks to our Hadza and Datoga tribes tour guide Rama, who also helps us a lot to interact with locals and give detailed information of their life and culture. Finally, I would like to thank Lion King for customizing my trip and fulfilling my every request. Thank you all for making my dream come true!

Wonderful experience
Doing a 5-day safari in the national parks of Northern Tanzania with Lion King was a wonderful experience. Everything was well organized, including pickup from and drop-off at the airport at the end of the safari.
Our guide Ali was amazing, giving us a lot of information about Tanzania, its culture and its wildlife. Only thanks to his dedication were we able to see animals we had already given up hope to see. Having a guide as knowledgeable and passionate for his job as Ali is a true blessing.
We would absolutely recommend Lion King to anyone looking to do a safari.
