We couldn't have hoped for more from our safari adventure!
We went on a 4 night, 5 day safari trip across Lake Manyara, the Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater with Lion King adventures.
When spending roughly 10/14 hours a day with people on a tour it can be an intense experience, the success of which is dictated by the attitude of those that you're in the company of.
Luckily for us, we were blessed to have Salehe as our guide and Yussuf as our chef.
They were both a complete joy to be around, even in the sometimes long and hot days. We had such a great time with these guys. Our days were filled with good food, insane safari experiences and jokes and good humour aplenty!
Salehe was knowledgeable on a vast range of the animals and birds we encountered. How he was able to spot the location of some of the animals, often camouflaged and way off in the distance as we drove, is still beyond me. It was by no luck that we saw all of the big 5 and then some on our travels.
Yussuf's cooking was tasty and plentiful, especially his soups, and seasoned with his wit and humour was a delight to have at the start and end of each day.
Aside from our final night when a herd of buffalo grazed cm's from our heads, surrounding our tent (it proved too much for us - so we relocated to a "safer" sleeping spot) we couldn't have hoped for more from our adventure.
We strongly recommend and if you're lucky enough to get Salehe & Yussuf - you're onto a complete winner!
Asante Sana!!!

Excellent customisable family friendly staff and company
We are a Malaysian Muslim family travelled to Tanzania in Dec 2018 (me, wife and 3 kids, 14yrs, 11yrs and 7yrs old). Once in a lifetime experience should be managed by a reliable and trustworthy company. The priority should be to match what the tourist wants and with good advice from local guides. We are very happy from the very first email lion king replied to us. The email negotiation about plans and price was very reassuring as it clearly shows that they are very meticulous in providing us the best suggestions and quotes. Our whole journey was highly customisable according to our needs and it extended beyond the safari trip. We ended up letting lion king adventures managed our entire Tanzania trip! We only managed our own flight tickets... We are very fortunate that our safari trip was smooth and, weather was good. But more importantly lion king adventures was very reliable and the description and timing of their plan was very good. The accomodation
choice was excellent to maximise our experience in Tanzania and our first time experiencing safari trip. Our guide/driver Gilbert was excellent. I was very happy with him looking after my family. It was a very exciting trip for us. And we would recommend a trip to Tanzania... and i would definitely recommend Lion King Adventures to help you get the best of tanzania...

Outstanding! Best holiday ever.
- Guide: Excellent. Peter was an awesome guy. He did his best to show us all animals in few days. Always smiling, friendly...we can not expect better.
- Accommodations: Edorodo Lodge, Bush Camp are outstanding place. Iburobo, and Rhino Lodge bit less.
- Communications: Before the safari, all went well, once we are there, no call, no messages...from Lions King Adventures staff during safari. This is the only weak point.

Amazing tour, great service and an exceptional guide
We explored several tour operators before we picked Lion King. It is hard to understand what goes into the cost of a safari from overseas while comparing itineraries and cost. Lion king did a phenomenal job of keeping us informed, tailoring the trip to our requirements and providing excellent stay wherever we went. Saleh our guide was amazing, I cannot talk enough about how exceptional he was. There was a day in our tour when it had rained heavily with mud everywhere and the car may have had a battery issue. He made sure it did not deter any of our plans and our day still went as planned. The food and stay were amazing as well. We stayed at a place in Ndutu where we heard lions roar at night and zebras outside our campsite. We were very safe with security to and from our campsite. The tented camp in Ndutu specifically had amazing food. We traveled with a 3 year old who needed more stops and more flexibility. Saleh was amazing with our kid and with all the changes. Thank you Saleh, Anna and Wilbard for making this trip amazing.
We see that every tour company has glowing reviews. Our experience is only with Lion king so it is hard to say what sets them apart. I highly recommend comparing quotes and stays from different operators and going by them (this is what we did). I also recommend going with a Tanzanian company, I think the experience was more authentic.

Incredible experience in Tanzania
Thank you for perfect organized safari in Tarangere-Ngorongoro-Lake Manyara. All 4-days trip was exciting, well-planned and comfortable. Our 8yo daughter is delighted with lions, leopard, amounts of elephants, pumbas and other animals from opened air zoo.
Big thanks for our guide for this days!

Outstanding organization, guide, attention to detail, trip of a lifetime!
This was truly a trip of a lifetime and much of that is because of Lion King adventures. They organized everything and Goodluck was an incredible guide. We saw everything. Bucket list item check.

Thanks for making our dream come true!
Many thanks for this wonderful trip. Everything was perfectly organized. Communication beforehand was always immediate and precise. Mid-range accomodations on tour were chosen very well. The tented camp experiences were extraordinary.
And, this service was more than topped by our friendly, warmhearted, knowledgable, gentle and funny guide Ossi. Asante sana. He was always on the right spot at the right time. We finally completed our Big Five and had so many more extraordinary animal observations! It was a pleasure to spend those 6 days with Ossi and learn not only a lot about Tanzania's wonderful nature (ina pendesa) or about the thousands of various animals (ina pendesa tena) but also some Swahili (kila kitu poa?). It couldn't have been a better match. And by the way, Ossi is an excellent driver - which is very relevant on these "massage roads" :-)
These 6 days were definitely an experience which will stay in our memory forever. And when we come back to Tanzania, we will for sure book again with kind (!) Lion King Adventures AND with Ossi. We can also recommend to anyone to book through Lion King.
Asanta sana tena for this unforgettable time!

Couldn't ask more for a Safari!!!
The overall experience was 10 out of 10. Our guide, Saleh, was really nice and fun guy to talk to as well as an excellent driver. He was giving explanations about animals, trees, the parks... everything. The jeep was being cleaned every day and ready with water and food to start the day. The places we spent the nights were quite high quality as well. No words to describe the one inside Serengeti.
We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara. All of them amazing. We managed to see the big 5 and much more. Easy to recommend 'Lion King Adventures' to everyone.
The communication with them was easy and full of information since the first email. We did the payment from Sweden in two lots. This was a bit scary but as the Lion King office was really easy to communicate with and they were letting us know as soon as the money was reaching them, all the experience went smoothly.
