An Incredible Experience
From the planning process to the actual safari itself, the entire team was absolutely incredible. They are very flexible with diet needs, trip planning, etc. Tell them what you want, and they will have it done (within reason). We went for the great migration and were lucky to see a river crossing. Our guide was fantastic and we loved our experience so much, that we are actually going back again for the calving season with Lion King! You cant go wrong!

Juma was awesome and always catered to our needs
This was the best trip/adventure I've been on. The experience of a safari was unique and unlike anything I've done before. Everything was provided (food, transportation, hotel, etc). We had a group of 5 all of us were well taken care of. Juma was our tour guide, and he was very knowledgeable and made sure all our needs were met. Would definitely recommend! Thank you, Lion King Adventures!

Unforgettable 14-day Tanzania safari and Zanzibar tour
Our 14-day Lion King Adventure was nothing short of extraordinary! The journey took us through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti, and finally to the Northern Serengeti, where we witnessed the most spectacular highlight of the trip – the Great Migration. Seeing the wildebeest cross the Mara River was an experience we will never forget. The sheer volume of animals, the intensity of the crossing, and the raw beauty of nature left us speechless.Our guide and driver, Ozzy, was incredible. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the landscape made every moment educational and thrilling. He ensured we got the best views of the animals, including the Big Five, as well as some truly remarkable sightings of leopards and cheetahs. Ozzy answered every question with expertise and enthusiasm, which made the entire trip even more enjoyable. The Land Cruiser was comfortable and reliable, even as we covered over 2,000 kilometers of rugged terrain.Lion King Adventures provided impeccable door-to-door service, from picking us up at Kilimanjaro Airport to dropping us off at the end of our trip in Zanzibar. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization were flawless. If you're looking for a safari adventure, I highly recommend Lion King Adventures – this was the experience of a lifetime!

Amazing 8 dayAmazing safari experience with Lion King and Gamma Saad.. Memories for a lifetime.
My wife and I chose Lion King Adventures after reviewing options online. Caroline and Florida were very helpful with planning our itinerary and accommodation. We were delighted with the location, variety, and standard of accomodation, the service, and the meals provided..
Our 8 day Safari took us to Tarangiri and Lake Manyara NP's, Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, Serengeti NP, (south, central, and north) and the Mara River. The competance of the safari guide is essential to the enjoyment of the adventure.
The guide assigned to us, Gamma Saad, was excellent and very experienced.
He was equally knowledgeable about both the wildlife and birds, and able to communicate this to us. He had an uncanny ability to spot wildlife that was camouflaged for us! We saw the Big Five and much more! Gamma was able to track down some of the more illusive animals including leopard and cheetah. Also his uncanny ability and perseverance enabled us to view the spectacle of Wildebeest and Zebra crossing the Mara River. What an amazing sight!
Overall the scenery and wildlife we saw on our safari was awesome. So many photos and memories for a lifetime.
A special thanks to Gamma for looking after us so well, and the support Team at Lion King Adventures. Well done.
Based on our experience, we have no hesitation recommending this company and guide Gamma.

Excellent, don't hesitate to book with Lion King!
From the outset the communication channels were superb - very fast responses to emails, and detailed information was provided. The itinerary was tailored to our requirements. The pick-up by drivers was timely. Freddie was our tour driver. He was amazing. Kept us informed of the daily diary, and excellent at finding the big (and small!) cats. Asked us what we wanted to see, and he definitely delivered on that! Would recommend Freddie for your driver. The arrangements for the balloon ride were seamless - highly recommended. We booked mid-range accommodation as my 85 yr old mum was with us and she wasn't up for camping. Mid-range was luxury for us as we are used to camping holidays. All staff at the hotels/permanent camps were amazing, food was great, and plentiful, lots of variety. Nothing too much trouble. We were very happy with our trip!

Lion King did an incredible job with this tour - it truly was a once in a lifetime trip!
Lion King did an incredible job with this tour - it truly was a once in a lifetime trip and an experience I will never forget. The logistics of the trip were managed impressively, from the airport pickups to accommodations to game drives.
Highlights of the trip include game drives through the Serengeti, exploring the Ngongoro Crater, the stay at Nyota luxury tents which was phenomenal, the hot air balloon operated by Serengeti Hot Air Balloon tours and most of all our incredible guide/driver Freddie. Freddie made sure my wife and I were safe, comfortable, and most importantly having fun! I would highly recommend requesting Freddie if you’re booking a trip with Lion King.
Two areas for improvement:
1/ The stay at Eileen’s Tree House was a step down from the other accommodations in terms of quality of room, food and service.
2/ I believe there is an opportunity to increase education within the tour. While our guide was great at answering questions, he rightfully needed to stay focused on driving (and finding animals!), thus couldn't proactively give us info about the various parks, culture, history, animals, etc. Finding a way to weave more education into these tours would be a great way to improve!

Safari of a lifetime
It all started with the first email contact. All our intentions got put together in a very personal way into a perfect safari. All details of our safari exceeded our expectations. The guide, his knowledge and his humor made the safari memorable to us. The accommodations all had been on top level. We highly recommend this company to anyone!

Lion King Adventures made this bucket list trip effortless
We recently returned from our 6-day safari in Tanzania and and it honestly wouldn’t have been this great had it not been for both Lion King Adventures and our amazing guide, Heaven. Not only did Lion King Adventures ensure that we had a spectacular trip while we were there, but they made the planning process as seamless as possible. A safari has been on my bucket list for years, but I certainly didn’t know where to start. Lion King Adventures removed all the guesswork for us. Yes, we still had to book the flights, coordinate our vaccines, and secure visas, but they provided information to help us through all of that as well. Everyone on the team was so helpful – from Godwin and his initial outreach to Naurey who worked through all of details.
I can’t say enough about the amazing accommodations provided, all the staff, and our guide. Our guide, Heaven, was stellar! With 14 years of experience, we looked to him and his guidance and that was one of the best decisions that we made. If he suggested getting up early and getting out on the road before the heat of the day, we did it. And he never disappointed. He made us feel super comfortable and shared so much knowledge, as well as some great stories and wisdom. We’ve already shared some of those great stories and nuggets of wisdom with our son!
The staff was so kind and accommodating. I have a gluten sensitivity and they were so respectful, ensuring that I had plenty of wonderful foods to eat and even preparing my food separately, when needed.
We’re so fortunate to have been able to take this trip. I don’t know that we’ll ever be able to top this experience. And I can’t imagine doing this trip any other way. I’m so grateful for Lion King Adventures and Heaven for making a bucket list trip one to remember forever.

Simply fantastic- trip of a lifetime
We chose Lion king adventures from the reviews and wasn’t disappointed!
We booked an eight day luxury + safari and the booking process was very straightforward, with our queries being answered swiftly. Our tour guide/ driver was Huruma. He was great, very knowledgeable and experienced, who went out of his way to show us Leopard, Chetah, Wilde beast migration etc. He drove us very close to Chetah so that we could enjoy the beautiful animal. He also helped us in getting amazing pictures/ videos of the beautiful animals. He was very attentive to our every needs and looked after us extremely well. We had an experience of a lifetime and would Highly recommend Lion King Afverures to anyone planning a safari to Tanzania. Thank you very much Huruma and the Lion King Adventures team for making this possible for us.
