Excellent communication before and during safari
We are grateful to lion king adventures for putting together a great safari for us! Their communication was above and beyond. Incredibly responsive both before and during safari. They send clear expectations to help prepare you and work with you to create a safari that works for your budget and wishes. The accommodations and experience were above and beyond. Jackson was a great driver and guide. Incredibly knowledgeable! We were only disappointed that we were unable to see the great migration. We were led to believe in booking communications that if we discuss this wish with our guide while in the Serengeti that it would be able to happen. This was not the case as we were too far from it in the Serengeti. As vegetarians, we were also told that vegetarian options would be available at all accommodations. We were incredibly impressed by the options we had to eat except for our packed lunches. Had we known our driver or we needed to remind the accommodations to pack vegetarian lunches, this would have been easily remedied. We only realized our packed lunches came from our accommodations on the last day. Overall, a wonderful experience, tour operator, and guide. We would recommend them to all of our friends and family.

Amazing Experience with Lion King Adventures
This was our first trip ever to Tanzania and I am super glad we chose Lion King Adventures to take us on our safari trip. From when we were planning the itinerary to getting the details of our trip sorted out, everything was super efficient and their team was always responsive. Thank you Rose & Maria!
Salehe is an absolute treasure, he is super knowledgeable about the culture and the animals. He is so experienced he is able to track and anticipate the movements of the animals where we were always able to get the best shot. All this accomplished with the utmost respect to the animals. His sharp eyes and skills gave us many amazing experiences...from a cheetah chilling on our car to the most amazing close encounters with lions and elephants.
This whole trip has been absolutely wonderful, I couldn't have wished for a better trip nor a better tour guide and company! Highly recommend Salehe and Lion King Adventures

The best and we saw everything!
It was an amazing experience. We saw so many animals living freely. We saw both male and female lions, cheetahs, hyenas, leopards in trees, rhinos, elephants, giraffes, and many more. Our guide, Leonard, had an incredible eye, he could spot a rhino far in the distance even while driving. He must have a lot of experience to be able to show us all the animals we wanted to see, and of course, his service was excellent. We loved the picnic meals, and the accommodations were fantastic. The tour company was very well organized. A friend of ours recommended Lion King Adventures, saying it was excellent, and we must say we were not disappointed, it was absolutely worth every penny. Thanks Leonard! We wish you and your family all the best! :)

Exceeded our expectations!
We recently returned from an extraordinary 8-Day safari tour with Lion Kings Adventure, and we're still pinching ourselves! Our private package tour exceeded expectations, thanks to our exceptional driver and guide, David.
From the moment we arrived at Kilimanjaro airport, we were ensured a seamless experience with all the different logistical arrangement, organized by Rose. We relaxed at a lovely lodge overlooking Mt. Meru before embarking on our adventure. Our journey took us through Tarangire National Park, Central and Northern Serengeti National Park, and finally, Manyara Lake National Park. The tent accommodation lodges were impressive, offering warm hospitality and qualities.
Each destination offered new excitement and experiences, and David's expertise made all the difference. For example, in North Serengeti, he accurately positioned our jeep directly in-front of a majestic herd of wildebeest crossing the Mara River. The sight was indeed explosive! On one of the evenings, we marvelled at breathtaking sunsets over the Central Serengeti's flat, dry bushland. Another highlight was visiting the Masai village, where David facilitated a fascinating cultural exchange. His deep experiences brought us to spot over 30 different wildlife across the various on-route game drives. David's exceptional driving skills navigated dusty, sun-baked roads with ease.
We noticed that there were indeed great many travel agencies offering safari expeditions. But having spent 8 days with David, we can't thank him enough for making our Tanzanian safari experience truly magical. Hence, Lion Kings Adventure and David come highly recommended!

Incredible & unforgettable experience.
We had an amazing time on our 5 day safari with Lion King Safaris in Tanzania!
We booked it as part of our honeymoon and so wanted the trip to be memorable. Lion king safaris did not disappoint! The company was well organised and communicated well with us prior to the trip, including highlighting key information we needed to know.
Our driver & guide, Laizer, was fantastic—super friendly and knew so much about all the animals. He had incredible vision & experience to know where the animals were and to spot them!
We felt safe the whole time and learned so much. Seeing the Big Five was such a highlight, and Laizer really made the experience special from start to finish. We would also like to mention Robert, who was also very friendly & welcoming, who picked us up from the airport on day 1 and took us to a fascinating cultural museum/art gallery.
We would highly recommend booking a safari with Lion King Safari's for a very well organised & expert tour.

Great safari company that took care of all details
We used Lion King Safari for our trip to Tanzania in September 2024. Our goals were to see wildlife on a Safari. The booking process was very easy as Maria was able to build us a custom itinerary based on the amount of time we were going to be able to spend in Tanzania. Before our arrival Nickson was able to help us with logistics such as airport transportation and providing us with details on the visa we would need to enter Tanzania. Upon arrival Tumi was there to pick us up and take us to our hotel. The next 8 days we had a great time with our guide Haruni who drove us all across the country to see wildlife, taking the time to explain some of the background behind the animals we were seeing. Haruni knew the roads very well and was able to find many animals for us including plenty of giraffes, lions, zebras, a wildebeest crossing, and we even got to see a cheetah in the Serengeti. Lion king took care of all our lodging and food and we were very happy with the outcome as every place we stayed was amazing and we loved the food. This was the best trip I have ever done!

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.
