Fast response and great communication while booking.
Great communication while booking. Flexible with options while customizing the trip to the needs.
Great guide Goodluck (that’s his name), deeply acquainted with National parks information, eagle eye to capture wild animals 1 km away from the driveway. To my biggest surprise he knows photography nuances very well, knows the right angles and day time best for specific location photography as well as many other tricks to make your memories to be captured at it’s best.
True ambassador of Tansania culture and the parks. Be aware to notify agency before booking that you are focused on professional photography and ask for Goodluck as your guide and make sure he knows in advance about your passion - he will make sure to get prepared for your max adventure experience.

The tour was very well organized and communication was excellent. Good attention was paid to dietary requirements at all accommodations. Our guide Gama was excellent, knowledgeable about the animals and different national parks and happy to cater to specific areas of interest and requests.

Luther is knowledgeable, kind, passionate
This review is long over due! Luther was mine and my fiancés tour guide during our safari tour and he was absolutely amazing. Luther always made sure we had the best spot for viewing the animals. On my birthday Luther spoke to his manager and was able to take me and my fiancé to the northern serengeti to see the great migration!! Which wasn’t apart of our package but Luther made it happen. Then to top it off at the end of the day Luther and the staff at nyota suprised me with a birthday cake and celebration. We saw the big 5. Our safari car was always clean and well taken care of with no issues. This was an incredible experience thanks to Luther and lion king adventures!!

Above and beyond expectations - a premium service from start to finish
Lion King Adventures were incredible start to finish. The communication leading up to the trip was excellent - quick responses and detailed itinerary. Meeting our guide and travelling was seamless. This was slightly more expensive than some other operators however you more than got what you paid for - the accommodation was a level up in terms up scenery, location and food. Our guide (Oswald) was clearly much more experienced and prepared than other guides on safari - he was more experienced in finding game and quieter locations but also in terms of vehicle handling and route choices in quite wet conditions! I couldn't recommend more highly.

An Unforgettable Adventure with Shafino! - A Tanzania Safari Journey
**An Unforgettable Adventure with Shafino: A Tanzanian Safari Dream**
Embarking on a 7-day safari through Tanzania with the remarkable guide, Shafino, was nothing short of life-changing. From the moment we set foot in the Serengeti to our final farewell at Ngorongoro Crater, every moment was a symphony of sights, sounds, and discoveries.
Shafino's expertise is unmatched. His keen eye effortlessly spotted the most elusive creatures, from majestic lions lounging beneath acacia trees to graceful giraffes grazing on the horizon. With his wealth of knowledge, each animal became a story, each landscape a masterpiece.
Beyond his expertise, Shafino's passion for Tanzania's wildlife and conservation is palpable. Every story he shared was not just a fact, but a testament to his dedication to preserving this natural wonder. Whether tracking a leopard through the dense undergrowth or witnessing the thunderous wildebeest migration, Shafino's love for the land was infectious.
The accommodations were a perfect blend of luxury and immersion in nature. Waking up to the sounds of the Serengeti, with giraffes passing by our tent, was a surreal experience. Each lodge and campsite was carefully chosen, offering not only comfort but also a genuine connection to the environment.
What truly sets Shafino apart is his warmth and genuine care for his guests. His enthusiasm for sharing Tanzania's treasures made every day a new adventure. Whether we were savoring a bush breakfast overlooking the plains or sharing stories around the campfire under the star-studded sky, Shafino made us feel like family.
The highlight of our journey was undoubtedly witnessing the Great Migration. Words cannot capture the sheer magnitude of thousands of wildebeest and zebras moving across the Serengeti. With Shafino by our side, we felt like explorers in our own National Geographic documentary.
As our safari came to an end at the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, we couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and gratitude. A week in Tanzania with Shafino had been more than a vacation; it was a soul-stirring journey through one of the world's most extraordinary landscapes.
For anyone seeking an authentic, immersive safari experience, I cannot recommend Shafino enough. His knowledge, passion, and genuine hospitality elevate the journey from a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Thank you, Shafino, for opening our eyes to the wonders of Tanzania. We will carry these memories in our hearts forever.

Incredible Tanzania Safari Experience - A Journey Into the Wild with The Great Guide Shafino!
The safari that my wife and I did with Shafino was the trip of a lifetime! A true five star, must-do experience!! Despite having 40+ countries under our belts, a safari with Shafino and Lion King Adventures has become our number one recommendation to all of our friends and family!
We spent 7 days traveling from Arusha into the heart of the Serengegti, Ngorongoro, Manyara, and Tarangire. The logistics across the whole trip were super smooth - we never had to worry about a thing the whole time so could focus our effort on safari-ing. Lunches were delicious and Shafino always knew the perfect hidden spots where we overlooked expansive landscapes that were postcard perfect. The lodges were outstanding - they were the optimal blend of luxury and immersion in nature - plus, it was almost as though the safari never stopped. While at the lodges we saw giraffes, impala, warthogs, and much more while taking a dip in the pool or sitting enjoying a drink watching some of the best sunsets we’ve seen! Waking up to the sounds of the bush, with the sun casting its golden hue on the Savannah, it felt like we were still dreaming. On top of that, Shafino was the perfect liaison between us and the staff ensuring that our experience was extra special throughout our whole time!
Despite all of the amazing animals we saw, our guide Shafino was the true star of the safari. It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that he is the top guide in all of Tanzania! His knowledge is endless and his mastery of the animals is only matched by his ability to articulate the nuances of the various tribal cultures. His amazing “fun facts” made learning about everything this beautiful country has to offer exciting and deepened our appreciation for this incredible ecosystem! Further, Shafino’s 25+ years of experience as a guide means that he knows all of the secret spots and his passion for the wildlife was wonderful to see. We saw the “Big Five”/“Big Nine” seemingly over and over and had wildlife encounters that were beyond compare. Majestic elephants passed within a few feet, lions napped just out of reach, and we even spotted several, yes several, of the illusive leopard.
If you’re looking to do an unbelievable safari in Africa - look no further - this is the one that you want to do!

Smooth conversation and also quick to reply which was very nice. Yusuph was very polite, informative and respectful. Your wish is always the first priority. Can definitely recommend!

What an amazing experience. We spent 4 days on safari with an amazing guide named Fidhali … he was super knowledgeable and able to spot animals from such distances. Wonderful time … so many animals, the wildebeest and zebra migration. We saw all the big 5. Fidhali made sure to go out of his way to make sure our trip was amazing. Great guide. Highly recommend.

Unbelievable safari experience
We had the most amazing time with Lion King Adventures. Maria and Nickson helped us decide on the tour and arrange a custom safari according to what we wanted to see. Our guide Yusuph was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and flexible, and thanks to him we got to see a huge variety of animals, as well as parts of the Great Migration. He also made us feel completely safe, as he was an excellent guide and driver. From our pickup at the airport to dropoff, we felt in good hands, with reliable communication, high quality lodges and hot food, and an amazing safari. It was the trip of a lifetime, and we cannot recommend this experience enough!
