A brilliant experience
We have just completed our week safari with
lion king adventures and it's been amazing.
From booking with Pendo in the office I felt
confident from the start, all payments etc
were always very secure and any questions I
had were answered within a day. Contact
was great. We chose the safari for our
honeymoon and we made the right choice!
Our guide Mwita is incredible, he is kind,
funny, chatty and so knowledgable about
the culture and all the animals. We have
loved his stories especially about his father
and loved learning about all the animals We
have seen. He is a very good and careful
driver which is really important as you spend
a lot of time in the car. Our tyre burst but that
was no problem! Mwita changed it and we
were back on track in no time. His knowledge
of the animals allowed us to see some
incredible action. Thank you Mwita! Each
park has been brilliant and we saw the big
five!! So many lions and elephants, even a
few cheetahs! We can't get over how many
animals we have seen. The accommodation
really blown us away, all are in stunning
settings and the staff are the friendliest we
have ever met. Food is something else! So
good! (I'm veggie, partner isn't). Everything
has ran so smoothly and the company really
go the extra mile to make it the best. I would
recommend to my family and book again for
sure. Thank you for an unforgettable week!

Family safari with a great guide
We did the 5 days Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorogoro safari with luxury lodges.
Lion king was really helpful during the preparation and organised the itinerary with a lot of knowledge and even adapted it to any change we requested.
We received all information needed and felt in very good hands from the moment they picked us up from the airport.
The country is beautiful and our guide Immanuel is passionate about his job and the wildlife. He made it a huge success and always went the extra mile with energy and kindness. Thanks a lot!
The lodges were really luxurious.
We saw all the big fives, in particular a wonderful leopard and numerous girafes, elephants, lions, buffalos,…
I recommend lion king to everyone doing a safari in tanzania.

they were great!
Everything was well organized, we had no surprises! The best part of it was Gilbert, our safary guide. He was knowledgeble, friendly, and of great help! We normally do not hire companies to organize our travels but this time we did and we have no regreats! Even some decisions that we questioned (like a a stop in between Tarangire and Serengeti) work quite well in retrospect. The camps selections were great! Perhaps the only questionable decision was to put us in KonoKone "resort" in Zanzibar. The place has a wonderful location but the service was substandard. Serena, in Stone Town, was a wonderful hotel. For those who like snokeling we do not think Zanzibar is a good place but that is not weaknesses on Lion King. If I come back to Tanzania I will hire them again with a special request: "please have Gilbert as our guide!
A wonderful safari
We're very happy with our 10 day private tour with lion King. They tailor made the itinerary for us, and while we didn't get to stay in all the specific hotels we wanted. Everywhere we stayed was great. Our driver Leonard, was super helpful and accommodating to our needs, and helped us see all the wildlife we were chasing and more. Would definitely recommend.

Stop looking, book, request Yusuph, and prepare for adventure of a lifetime!
From our initial contact with Nickson, to finalizing details with Kabwe, to our most incredible guide Yusuph, Lion King Adventures provided us with the most amazing experience of our many travels. We booked the 12 night beach/safari package and added an evening in the Serengeti. We could not possibly have been more pleased.
The beach portion at the Melia Zanzibar was fantastic, but the real adventure began when we flew into Arusha and met up with our guide, and now friend, Yusuph. Yusuph, there can be no doubt, was the key to the amazing adventure we would have over the next week. Yusuph's uncanny ability to spot wildlife still has us asking how after being home for a few days. His passion for his country, people and wildlife was evident throughout our journey. We so enjoyed his Swahili lessons during our drive times (the lodges were amazed how many expressions and greetings we already had down). Due to Yusuph and his efforts we were able to spot the "Big Five", even spotting the elusive rhino our last day.
When we booked this adventure, we assumed it would be a once in a lifetime trip; however, after experiencing our time with Yusuph and the job performed by the whole Lion King Adventures staff we will most definitely be returning. So to Lion King Adventures and Yusuph we say "Tutaonana baadaye!"

Worked to make sure we got to see the best of everything on our safari! Super knowledgeable.
If I was going to do another safari I would use Lion King again. From beginning to end everyone I dealt with was professional and friendly. It was a great trip and our guide made sure we got to experience everything we wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of info. The accommodations were wonderful. Overall a super experience!

The best!
When we started planning our trip to Tanzania, our main goal was that of fulfilling our dream to see the amazing wildlife inhabiting the country.
We contacted many safari agencies but eventually, we decided to trust peoples’ opinions and chose the best reviewed one, lion king adventures.
The safari exceeded our expectations. Not only did we get to admire the big fives, but also every possible animal inhabiting the places we visited (tarangire national park, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and lake manyara).
This was mainly thanks to our super guide Shafino, who took care of us like a parent would do.
One of the first things he said was that we could ask him anything we wanted by humbly adding he did not know everything. However, there is no single question we asked that remained unanswered. Shafino knows everything about the places you are going to visit and about animals and birds.
He started every day of our adventure with one mission, and I can assure, he accomplished all of them. Shafino also made sure we enjoyed our holiday to the fullest and was always available and open to our needs.
I really recommend to go on an adventure with Shafino and lion king !
