Wilson is knowledgable, fun loving, experienced and kept us safe the entire trip.
Wilson Baragiswa, aka Wili, works for The Lion King Adventures for 4 years. Since he was born and grew up in the Safari region, he has extensive knowledge about the national parks, wildlife and local people. He is gifted at networking with other tour operators, so he gets the inside scoop about where high demand wildlife is moment by moment. We were able to see a leopard as well as the largest gathering of Wildebeest at the migration since 2019. He also consistently was able to get us front row seats, knowing exactly where to park the vehicle so the animals would walk towards us. I only used an iPhone for photos and have received numerous comments about how close we were to the animals. He also was able to answer all of my questions. Additionally, I always felt safe with him. He would only stop at safe and trusted places, share with us where the bathrooms were, and the time allotted at bathroom breaks. He kept the jeep clean, despite all of us trekking in dirt and rocks every day. We always had cold fresh water in the jeep, as well as other beverages. Wili was always on time, cleanly dressed, pleasant and kind. Over the days, he easily became part of our safari family.
We went on the 9 day Wildebeest Migration, and I felt that it was the perfect amount of time to tour the national parks. It was worth every penny. We stayed at the mid-level lodging. The rooms were always clean, and the beds were comfortable. The food was delicious as well. Wili knew where to find most of the camps, and the one camp which had recently moved, he found it before we went out on the migration for safety reasons.
I have several friends who are interested in going on a safari and am recommending The Lion King Adventures for the tour company and making sure they ask for Wili to be their guide.

Great Safari with Amani!
Wonderful experience with two children, aged 4 and 6. Our guide Amani was incredibly kind and shared his knowledge with great passion. He taught the children a lot and gave us excellent advice. A slight disappointment with the last hotel we stayed at, as it did not match the standard of the rest of the trip.
Thank you again to Amani—don't hesitate to request him for a guided safari in French.

Perfect Safari
All the agreed programme was adhered to perfectly.
Our guide, Jackson, was precise, professional, polite, courteous, knowledgeable and friendly.
The hotels were above expectations, with a special mention for the fabulous ‘Nyota Luxury Camp’.
The car we used, although not brand new, was comfortable enough and never had any problems on long drives on the dirt road.
We ate very well, both at dinner and at picnics.
We were given soft drinks, beer and also two bottles of wine with personalised labels.
Everything went perfectly, we won't forget the excitement of this safari.

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.
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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

We had 9 fantastic days - not even one problem - everything went very smoothly, and was well organised . we saw many animals, some cultural part as well. The tour altogether was very well balanced . 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
