Tour itself was great. However booking staff were not particularly attentive
We joined the regular safari stuff with kilimanjaro day hike. The safari process was great for the most part but occasionally the guide would start driving as we were standing on top of the seat for photos- that wasn’t a particularly nice way to get us to hurry up. Other than this I do not have any major issues with the guided safari. The booking staff however really seem to have difficulty in paying attention to our request, with us reiterating twice that we would require a twin room but we were given double bed for some parts of our itinerary. They compensated us for one meal of dinner for that mistake. Overall it’s a decent experience but I wouldn’t call it phenomenal

Trip of a lifetime
Gelasius was the best tour guide we have ever had. He was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from him about Tanzania and the animals. He kept track of the various animals and knew exactly where to go to find them. He was very patient and accommodating, and he helped us get every photo and video we could we want. We saw more animals and natural beauty than we imagined. Lion King was amazing and gave us very helpful information and guidance. The rooms and the food was great every day. Adventure of a lifetime that we will remember forever.

Lion King Adventures Rocks !!
Right from answering all our inquisitive questions to get the bookings done with all our requests and the picking us from Kilimanjaro airport and taking us on Northern Circuit tour from Tarangire, to Serengeti to Ngorongoro to Lake Manyara..everything was amazingly arranged by Ms. Kabwe in office and owner James. Most important was our guide..Shafino Dominick.. what an experienced , knowledgeable, detail oriented and humble person. He knows every inch of all the locations with his 20+ years of experience and knows where to find all the big animals. He has an eagle eye. We saw all big 9 !! Shafino made our tour a lifetime memory.

Phantastic
Extremely happy that we chose Lion King for our safari in Tanzania. From the very first moment the communication was very good, all the questions (and there have been a lot) have been answered in a timely manner. Everything (from the pick up at the Kilimanjaro airport to the drop off at the Arusha airport) worked perfect. Our guide, Manu, was very knowledgeable, and we learnt a lot about the wildlife but also about the day to day life in Tanzania. We have felt safe the whole time and we could enjoy our first safari to the fullest. I can only highly recommend LionKing!

Unforgettable Trip
We had an incredible trip with Lion King Adventures for our honeymoon. Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable and he was amazing at spotting the animals and finding the best position to watch them! We saw so many animals, including lion cubs which was a highlight. The accommodations were also fantastic. Would highly recommend!

Immanuel gave us champagne service.
The safari with Lion King was the best trip we had ever taken. The accommodations were luxurious even the tents. And we were fortunate to see all the animals, close enough to get fantastic pictures. They were like they were from National Geographic. And we just used our phone for pictures. A professional camera was not necessary. Our guide Immanuel was kind and made best efforts to attend to our every need. He served us hot food for our picnic lunch with table cloth, silverware and personalized label wine. All the food was excellent. The trip did not disappoint and was better than we could have hoped or imagined. We definitely got champagne service from Immanuel. He made a lot of effort to see all the animals that we wanted to see. We were fortunate to see a huge wildebeest crossing as well. He communicated with us well and explained about the animals and was patient with all of our questions. He made every effort to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying our trip.

Incredible Safari with experienced and funny Guide
We had a really amazing safari in all aspects, guided by Gama. All services and communication before was professional and we felt in good hands. The food also for launch was very good and special. We mostly loved all choosen accommodations, especially Nyota in the Serengeti was unforgettable lovely with people, accommodation, environment and animals. Gama did a really good job, with good intuition he brought us to the right time to see lions (hunt), elephants, cheetahs etc. right in front of us. Just incredible! Maybe we've been lucky, but mostly we felt guided very well. We're happy with our choice of Lion King Adventures!

Amazing
We (four adults) have just finished an 8-day tailored safari with Lion King. The experience exceeded our expectations. Our guide was Macha and he was extremely knowledgeable, patient and humorous. He was able to spot with the naked eye rare wildlife e.g. rhinos, cheetahs that we could only see with binoculars. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife and flora was impressive. We felt as if we were in safe and competent hands the whole time. Overall the preparation process was seamless. Rose was very responsive and knowledgeable and promptly responded to our questions and requests. Our accommodation was beautiful in every location and the meals, including the lunch hampers were delicious. With our guide, Macha, we saw two wildebeest crossings as part of the annual migration. This was a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience and Macha was able to manoeuvre the vehicle to the best location for viewing and photography.
Trip of a lifetime
This was my wife's and my first time in Tanzania and first time doing a safari. Our experience surpassed all expectations thanks to the awesome job job done by Lion King Adventures and it's staff.
Pendo was our point of contact leading up to the trip and was quick to respond to our many questions and would send over clear sets of instructions/guides leading up to our trip that made our travels and preparation a smooth experience.
Our driver to and from the airport, Tumaini, was very friendly and a safe driver. He was very happy to teach us words in Swahili and give us information about Arusha and the various sights around.
Lastly, our safari guide Gilbert helped make our trip absolutely unforgettable. He is very friendly and happy to answer all the many questions we had about animals and Tanzania in general. He is an excellent driver navigating all the roads in the region and is incredibly knowledgeable about every single animal and about Tanzania and culture in general. He was also happy to give us Swahili lessons while we drove around. He is an excellent guide with a great eye for spotting animals and ensured that we saw everything we wanted to see on our trip. It's also very clear that he is passionate about the wildlife and was very respectful in making sure we didn't disturb the animals while we were viewing them.
I cannot recommend Lion Kind Adventures and it's staff enough - we had the trip of a lifetime thanks to them. Asante sana!
