Lion King Adventures delivers on a memorable and successful lifetime experience
We (a group of 4 - 2 x couples) did a Mt. Kilimanjaro (6-day Machame route) and Safari (4-day) package with Lion King Adventures.
The communication with Lion King Adventures throughout our time with them was reasonably prompt and it felt like they were always happy to help us as best they could. During the initial stages of booking and tailoring the package to suit us, there were only slight miscommunications which were ultimately settled with no discontent. They kindly organised a local coffee farm tour at the tail end of our stay.
Our drivers throughout our time in Tanzania were all very nice and safely got us to and from our locations.
We began our time in Tanzania with the 6-day Machame route of Mount Kilimanjaro. Personally, this was the highlight of my trip. Our head guide, Saladin, with his team (special mentions to Kim, Mos, Lazaro, John, Rama, Alan) were exceptional in making sure we were comfortable throughout and safely arriving to camp every day. Thanks to Saladin and his amazing team, we made it to Stella Point and if it weren't for weather and time constraints, I am certain that we would have made it to Uhuru Peak as well - Asante sana. The snacks to keep us fueled throughout the day were thoughtful and the hot meals at the end of every day were so good. We were also fortunate to have our own toilet which was a lovely luxury. I will always remember my Mount Kilimanjaro experience fondly.
We got to enjoy our 4-day safari to the fullest after conquering Kilimanjaro. We went to Tarangire National Park (NP), Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara NP. It was about mid-June when we started our safari and we had already missed most of the migration but were lucky enough to see the big 5 (lion, buffalo, rhino, elephant, leopard) and some babies/cubs as well (baby hippo, baby elephant, baby impala, cheetah cub, lion cub). Our safari guide and driver, Gilbert, was very informative throughout the 4-days, pointing out various forms of wildlife and fauna. He did a wonderful job making sure we got to see all big 5 and more - Asante! The accommodation organised for us between each of these safari locations was very comfortable (Eileen's Trees Inn and Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp) and the food was delicious.
Anna and James of Lion King Adventures came to visit us between Kilimanjaro and our safari. This was a very nice gesture and they were very lovely. We all had a great time and would gladly recommend anyone else considering a Kilimanjaro + Safari package to go with Lion King Adventures.

The tour is planned well, hotels are better than expected one, foods are not bad.

Fantastic two days with Lion King Adventures!
Lion King Adventures provided a lovely safari experience for a family, with visits to Tarangire and Ngorongoro Parks. They treated us honestly and professionally from the beginning until the end. They were able to put together a great trip within our tight timeline. James is an excellent tour guide—great driver, knowledgeable about animals and fauna, and all around good human. We are grateful to Lion King for rounding out our time in Africa so nicely. Would recommend to anyone!

Amazing Safari
The Safari with Lion King Adventures was just PERFECT. Our guide Ozzi was really professional. We felt always safe and we had a lot of nice conversations with him. A special mention also to our cook Jusuf, who was preparing delicious meals for us. We will never forget this incredible safari-week!

Once in a lifetime adventure
Since not many people from South Korea travel to Africa, we were worried at first so did a lot of research on Safaribooking.com. Lion King Adventures caught my attention as communication with Pendo and Anna was very prompt and efficient. Also the price quote was reasonable compared with other agencies.
We had already high expectations as we switched agent to Lion King when we entered Tanzania from Kenya via Isebania border. I must say that Safari tour with our guide, David, exceeded our expectations and we really had a lot of fun! We saw big five and other animals up very close and David ensured that he share all his knowledge with us about the animals, habitat, conservation and the culture.
Also, the mid-range lodge selections were great as we really enjoyed our stay in all places with different vibes and styles. Before we headed off to Kilimanjaro Airport, we met with Pendo and James in person and they were very attentive and willing to know if there is any room for improvement. I must say all the staff and David were very professional throughout the tour and we thank you for making our trip unforgettable. We will surely choose Lion King when we come back!

An amazing experience!
Lion king were fantastic right from the beginning to the end. There was great communication from Lion King right from the start, they changed our holiday a number of times to meet our specific wishes and dealt with any difficulties amazingly.
We didn’t have to worry about a thing whilst we were there, we were picked up from the airport and our tour guide was lovely and friendly. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel as ease the whole time we were on safari.
The hotels were lovely.
We finished off our holiday in Zanzibar and the hotel was fantastic. It was great value for money and the food was amazing.
We went at a quieter time which was good because most places weren’t too busy.
Overall I would highly recommend Lion King Adventure, I am so glad we went with them and feel that they made our honeymoon the best it could have possibly been. I cannot thank them enough for making it so special and tailoring the package to what we wanted.
It is certainly an unforgettable holiday!

Gilbert, you are more than a driver/guide. You are my brother.
I think the best part is that the driver is very friendly, kind and helpful

Absolutely fantastic!
Everything worked out perfectly! There was a little confusion at the start with some of the bookings, but that was our fault, and they had fixed everything within the day. The guide we had, James, was very kind and knowledgable, catering to what we needed, from drinks, to stopping points, and everything in between. I don't think this could have gone any better. They made this trip absolutely wonderful, and I can not thank them enough!

Amazing family safari adventure
We booked a 5 day safari with Lion King Adventures in July. We were very impressed with the reviews both on trip advisor and safaribookings.com.
Anna and Pendo were very fast in their responses to our e-mails. They helped to tailor our safari according to our needs. Anna provided e-mail updates as our trip neared which made us feel secure and confident in our upcoming adventure.
Our witty, professional, and knowledgeable guide Ozzy met us at the airport and stayed with us throughout our adventure. Ozzy took us to Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, and the Ngorongoro crater. Ozzy expertly took us to spots where we could view so many animals up close (zebras, lions, giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, water buffalo, and do much more).
Our accommodations were delightful!
We stay at the Ildoru Safari Lodge, Endoro Lodge, Ang’ata Serengeti Camp, Ngorongoro Serena Lodge, and at the end we were at Airport Planet Lodge (we chose this as we had an early morning flight the following day). All of our accommodations were very unique and beautiful.
To anyone planning on booking with Lion King Adventures we highly recommend them. Their ratings are excellent because they are excellent!
