Lion king - The kings of Serengeti
Our experience with Lion King has truly been fantastic. The company takes care of every small detail on the trip including departure timings, comfort in vehicle and guides you perfectly for a great Game Drive Safari. Their drivers/ Guides are extremely well versed with the nuances of the Serengeti and leave no stone unturned to ensure one gets to see the best of what Serengeti has to offer. We had Mwita with us who was exceptional! Thanku lion king and Thnku Serengeti for a spectacular trip and until we meet again!!!

Lion King provides exceptional service and once-in-a-lifetime experiences
Lion King Adventures planned the trip of a lifetime for us. We opted for the 8-day safari and beach tour, and it was the best trip we have ever taken, thanks to Lion King. We looked at several tour companies prior to booking our trip and we decided to go with Lion King because they have great reviews online, their prices are competitive, and they are a local company based out of Tanzania. Our tour consultant, Pendo, booked the most beautiful hotels for us, plus all of our meals and transportation. Whenever I had a question about how to prepare for the trip, Pendo was always more than helpful. Our safari guide, Ozzy, was knowledgeable and has a keen eye for spotting even the most elusive animals. Ozzy always made sure we were front and center for every animal viewing. Furthermore, I felt safe and cared for the entire trip. I would absolutely book another safari with Lion King Adventures.

Luxury and well organised
I absolutely loved the whole process of booking my Africa trip with Lion king adventures. From intially organising my trip with Pendo / Nickson over email, to once I'm there, with my friendly and knowledgeable guide Leonard, it all went smoothly! My driver from the airport (Tumain) was also lovely to chat too who took me from Kilimanjaro to Arusha.
Accommodation, food, vehicles were all above expectations - I was looked after like a king!
Conversation in English was never an issue with Leonard, he explained many facts on animals and the landscape, especially about the reason Serengeti is so flat and treeless! Loved my time on safari! Even saw a lioness take down a Zebra very close to where we had parked!

Wonderful honeymoon safari
Our African safari with Lion King Adventures was an absolute dream come true! Standing with Pendo who booked the trip, was very patient and came up with several different options to make sure it met our desired length of stay and level of accommodations. From the moment we arrived in Tanzania, our honeymoon felt incredibly special thanks to the choice of lodges that exuded luxury and charm. The breathtaking landscapes, magnificent wildlife, and enchanting sunsets made every day unforgettable.
However, what truly set this experience apart was our incredible tour guide, Enock. He was not just a guide, but a storyteller, a friend, and a true ambassador of Tanzania. Enock went above and beyond to ensure we didn't miss a single wonder of this beautiful country. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality made the journey even more extraordinary.
Every step of the tour surpassed our wildest expectations. It's rare to find such a perfect blend of adventure, comfort, and genuine connection with both nature and the people. If you're planning an African adventure, take our word for it – ask for Enock as your guide; he will make your journey a memory to cherish forever.
Thank you, Lion King Adventures, for making our honeymoon safari an experience beyond words. We are forever grateful for the memories you've helped us create.

Lion King Adventures is a fantastic Tanzanian tour company with a highly responsive/competent team!
Bottom line: If you are planning an African safari, Lion King Adventures is definitely a team of highly skilled professionals that we would strongly recommend. From the front office help (Rose and Caroline) to our wonderful guide (Freddie), we had a truly jaw- dropping experience. Every question was answered (and we asked a lot of them), every need met and every dream realized.
This was a 15 day experience (10 day safari and 4 days relaxing in Zanzibar). The accommodations were terrific and the food was outstanding. When there were unexpected issues (KLM-lost luggage), the Lion King team was immediately on top of it and the problem was resolved.
Our guide, Freddie, was incredibly knowledgeable. He could spot animals so quickly and immediately get us close for photos. He worked well with other guides, communicating regularly, so as to make sure we saw the 'big 5' and a host of other interesting animals.
In closing, if you are considering a safari, choose Lion King Adventures. We could not have asked for more. KUDOS to the Lion King Team!

Magnificent Safari Experience
There are not enough words to describe how phenomenal our safari experience was! From the beginning of planning to the safari itself, Lion King was professional and helpful. The trip consultant who helped me select the itinerary was thorough and timely with responses. Rose took over once I selected the itinerary and moved forward with planning. She was patient and answered every question right up until our departure. The driver who picked us up at Kilimanjaro was friendly and gave us basic information for the start of our safari the next day. Then, that is where the real magic happened.
Richard, our guide, was everything we could have hoped for and more. His passion for the parks and the animals was evident during the entire safari. He was just as excited to find animals as we were. He was so patient with our many questions (it was like we became kids again with our many, random questions about the animals and their habits lol) and he was extremely knowledgeable. Richard knew key locations to find hard to spot wildlife. We saw a leopard, 12+ cheetahs (including babies!), and more lions than I can recall (including two sightings eith with recent kills). Richard was the ultimate host and guide and constantly had our best interest in mind. His personality was kind, amiable, and fun. I honestly think that the safari guide can make or break the entire experience, and Richard made our experience unforgettable while setting a high standard for our expectations on future safaris. We will absolutely request him again if/when we return.
Thank you, Lion King and team!
If you have read this far, then book the safari. You will NOT regret it!

Great custom made experience!
If you are looking for an experience that will exceed your expectations, then Lion King Adventures is a great choice. We spoke with them several times before confirming our decision, and they made sure to select the best package to make our experience unforgettable. The hotels they recommended were great, and the tour guide was very experienced and friendly, always making sure we were having a good time, and understanding the fact that we were coming from a very far, and very different culture.
They definitely have the right attitude towards hospitality, and will do everything possible to make you feel at ease and enjoy your adventure.
Thank you Lion King Adventures! May you stay great for Tanzania!

Expectacular Team and Amazing Experience
Long story short... AMAZING!!!!!
Our experience was excellent since our first email requesting a quote until saying Good bye to our guide Mwita (aka THE BEST GUIDE)
We searched around for months before making our decision. But the communication was great with them. We got a lot of information that helped us well prepare our trip. We did Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The guide Mwita had an answer for everything. We learned a lot with him. I do recommend this company to anyone. I'm glad we went with Liong King!

Absolutely amazing safari
From the booking to the actual safari itself lion king we’re superb. We really found the pre-departure information helpful and the communication about the details was always prompt and sound. The safari itself was amazing. Enock our guide was extremely able and knowledgeable and seemed to instinctively know where to search for animals. We saw loads and several close up, including elephants, cheetahs and lions. The accommodation were really special and we especially like being in the tented camp on the Serengeti. The cooked picnic lunches were lovely each day and we always seemed to have a great picnic spot.
If you are thinking about a safari then lion king is a great professional company to go with.
