Fun, Knowledgable, Professional
My group of 4 friends and I did the 3 day itinerary which included Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Ozzie was our guide. He was funny and filled with knowledge. It was an awesome time and Anna was so responsive that it made it easy to change things on the fly. They also worked with us to pick us up at different times on different days from the airport and arrange extra lodging for us since we stayed more days in Arusha. We did one night of glamping which was fun and one night in a lodge which was plush and so comfortable. All the food was great and they even had beer for us to drink.
I also HIGHLY recommend going on a coffee tour that LKA offers that departs from Arusha. We walked around and through a village, hiked, and ate some amazing food, not to mention the coffee we made as well. Our guide, Clemency, is from the village so walking through we got introduced to his stepfather and stepbrother. He taught us a bit about the culture and some Swahili as well.

These guys are very responsive and care to give the best experience possible.
Our driver Solei was incredible. For the money, this was an exceptional experience. The facilities were great and their attention to detail exceeded expectation. This is a smaller outfit and really depend on giving good service to drive business.

Amazing experience, very professional!
We went on a 4 day safari with Lion King Adventures between Christmas and New Year 2017. The overall experience was absolutely fantastic and the treatment from Lion King was very professional. All communication via e-mail before the safari was very smooth and made sure we had a full overview of the trip. Our guide Saleh was very nice and competent. Saleh picked us up at the airport and then followed us during all four days during the safari until we were dropped off at the airport again, which made us feel very safe all the time. Me and my partner went alone in a spacious car together with our guide. The price of safari included all accommodation with food, also food and drinks during the safari was included. All accommodation was very high class.
We recommend Lion King Adventures and our guide Saleh strongly!

frindly,professionally
We participated in the 6 days safari tour of the lion king adventures in January. Our safariguide, Oswaldo, is a very nice guys and has highly professional experience. He can not only drive very well, safely and carefully on a bumpy road, but also ist he an animal expert - has very sharp eyes and professional knowledge. He fulfilled all our wishes during the trip. That means we saw the big five and the big animal migration ! With him we have enjoyed very happy 6 days in Tanzania and also got many beautiful unforgettable memories. The tour is very valuable and recommendable. We have already begun to look forward to the next adventure with Oswaldo when we come beck to Tanzania !

Lion king It is a group of people that fully meets all the needs you may have in Tanzania from Safari to trekking on Kilimanjaro, having very professional operators and attentive to meet all your requests, a special thanks to Saladini and Julius who have accompanied to climb the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Saleem that led us to discover the safari in serengheti, ngoroongro, while we must applaud ANNA that managed to manage well the whole organizational group

Professional and personal service
Anna made all of the necessary arrangements for our 11 day safari in Tanzania. The communication was prompt, professional and informative.
Places visited - Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Arusha National Park.
James was our safari guide for the 11 days. He was professional, friendly, knowledgable, polite and spoke very good English.
Every aspect of our trip was 1st class. The places, the sights, the sounds, the people, the service.....it was an unforgettable experience.
I would whole heartedly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone considering a safari. From 1st communication through to our flight home, we were looked after......in fact, we didn't stop smiling.
Thank you to Anna and James for making our Tanzanian experience a trip we will never forget. It was perfect!

Amazing experience !
We had been checking many agencies and Anna was very responsive from the very first moment and open to any suggestion. All the booking process was easy and secure.
The safari it self, 5 days at Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro was very nice. Salim was our our driver and he is a really nice and funny guy, he did his best so we could see all the animals and he was always on time. Our cook Salim (same name) was also very good, he managed to cook in the campsites and prepared very good meal. The pre-cooked meals were more modest.
We did the budget tour and the camp in Serengeti is very basic, but it is part of the experience. The camp by Lake Manyara and the one at Ngorongoro were better.
When we finished the tour Anna came in person to say hello and listen to our feedback that was very nice. Also Salim and David, other driver also very nice, took us to a local place to have a beer. Both things make a difference between companies, I definitely recommend them.

Excellent Tour Operator
We were particularly happy to have chosen Lion King Adventures. We did a 6-day safari (Tarangire, 2xSerentegi, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara) in October 2017. The pre-departure organization was very good. They answered always within one day and adjusted the safari to our wishes. We made a 10% deposit and paid online on the day of departure (something I would advise everyone to do since most business in Tansania are not as reliable as in Europe or the US. Lion King Adventures is a very reliable business partner though).
Their vehicles are good, I would say similar to most others we saw. The car we had was a little older than the average which had no disadvantage. The seats were very wide and comfortable. The cars have a power charger and a small refrigerator for drinks.
Our guide (Saleh) was excellent. He was very good at spotting wildlife - even some very hidden animals - and could explain a lot on animals and nature. He was an excellent driver and knew the terrain very well. In Serengeti he took us to places where there was hardly anyone else and we could enjoy the wildlife on our own.
Our cook (Yusufu) was good, the meals were similar to what you get in medium class restaurants in Tansania. Yusufu taught us some Suaheli with helped a lot through the remaining weeks in Tansania.
I recommend going on Safari with Lion King Adventures without limitations.

Great Safari with Lion King
Hello,
We've been on a private Safari tour with Lion King between 18/10 and 22/10: Manyara Lake, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro crater.
Before the departure, Anna answered to all our questions very quickly and managed the organisation from our arrival in Kilimanjaro until our departure to Zanzibar, it makes us feel very confident with the company and the organisation.
And during the Safari, Anna came to say hello which was very nice.
As soon as we have landed, a driver was waiting for us to bring us to an hotel in Arusha for the first night before the Safari (very clean and fully equipped).
After the breakfast Salim (our guide/driver) and Karim (our Chef) picked us up to start the Safari.
From this moment they managed everything perfectly to make our tour comfortable.
Salim was very kind to us.
He knows a lot of other guides so in the park he used his network to know were the animals were, plus he was able to spot animals we would have missed, and he showed us a lot (zebras, wild beasts, lions, leopards, guepards, hyenas, buffalo, elephants, giraffes, servals, chacals, ...)
In addition he was speaking French which was a very good surprise to us.
Karim cooked for us all the tour (breakfast/ lunch/ dinner) and we have eaten very good. Note we took a budget tour so the campsite were pretty simple (just tents and toilets) which makes the work of Karim even harder and what he was able to cook was excellent.
(By the way, if you are going for a budget tour, note it might be cold at night in the Serengeti and the Nogorongoro)
During the game drive, Salim used to go in different places than the other 4x4, it allowed us to be just us on a lake with a lot of flamingoes or again just us with 2 lions (male and female),... He knows the parks very well and was able to show us amazing landscapes.
This tour was really an incredible experience we will never forget thanks to Salim and Karim.
Many thanks again to the staff,
Maxime & Audrey

Fantastic safari experience
During four days in October, our family visited Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Lion King Adventures. Our guide and driver Salim and our cook Yusufu took excellent care of us, always with a smile. We spent one night in a lodge, and two nights in a tent in the heart of wilderness, which was a wonderful experience. Besides the gorgeous landscapes, we were able to observe a large variety of animals: Elephants, giraffes, lions, cheetahs, hippos, hyenas, crocodiles, and even a python and a serval. We really enjoyed this trip, and we would like to thank our lovely and competent accompanists.
We particularly appreciated Lion King Adventures' individualized advice and arrangements, as well as their flexibility to adapt to our needs and last minute changes.
We highly recommend this organizer for your ultimate safari experience!
