Organised and reliable. An excellent trip.
When we were planning our trip we found Lion King Adventures online. We liked the fact they were locally owned and operated in Tanzania but were nervous as we had no experience with them. We are very happy with how our trip was planned and executed. The Lion King office staff were excellent communicators and quickly followed up on any queries. We wanted some customization to our tour which they easily accomodated. Our tour guide Fredi Elias was great. He is a fantastic driver, had an eagle eye to spot animals and was a great tour companion. He also took impeccable care of the tour vehicle ensuring it was cleaned every night and maintained. Was a life changing vacation I would highly recommend.

Unforgettable experience!
Thank you Lion King for creating us this once-in-a-lifetime experience! The itinerary is well-planned that we spent a great time in different national parks and able to see the Big 9 and the other animals mostly with a close-up view!
Our wonderful guide Shafino made everything possible! When I told him that I’d like to watch sunrise in Serengeti, he adjusted the plan promptly and drove us to a perfect spot for the stunning view. Shafino is professional, knowledgeable and reliable. Our car broke down when we were in Serengeti but he managed to fix it quickly and we got to see many animals!
I have to thank our amazing chef Karim too, for feeding us delicious traditional and international food, making sure that we are energised even in the early morning. Also, thank you for being so patient with our broken Swahili:)
This is a dreamlike experience and I really enjoyed the safari! Asante sana marafiki!!

What a trip!!!
Everything was so well organised from the first phone call to the end of the trip. Gama our tour guide was so professional and friendly, he really went an extra mile to make us happy. Our tour was 3 days, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park,
From the first day we got really close to the animals in their natural environment,
We even got to see a lion hunt and eat a wild beast.

Once in a lifetime experience
We found Lion King Adventures through great google reviews and engaged them for our Honeymoon. It’s our first time in Tanzania and left the itinerary planning to Lion King Adventures. All we requested for was a wholesome Safari experience. They planned the entire itinerary for us which includes covering several National parks, very luxurious lodging and all our meals. We were also pleasantly surprised that the tour only consisted of the both of us and our awesome guide, Saleh. We learned from Saleh that Lion King Adventures provides private tours instead of mixing us with other tourists - to give us the best experience and to flexibly cater to our preferences.
It was initially a little intimidating for us visiting the safaris being so close to wild animals, but Saleh made us feel so safe. He is very professional and passionate about what he does. We were also very impressed by how eagle-eyed he is and he can spot animals from afar without the need for binoculars (..and considering animals are camouflaged by nature). He’s also constantly on the look out for great animals finds and knows the best places for to admire the animals; we saw all big 5s - Lions, Leopards, Rhinos, Buffalos and Elephants! We even caught two different pairs of lions mating (front view seats!!). He’s also very patient and lets us take all the time to admire the different animals and take all the pictures we want before moving on to the next game drive. He’s also kind and friendly to everyone, not only to us, but to all the local drivers - communicating through their own signal and sharing with each other what great finds along their paths. It’s a great and friendly community here. We knew we were in good hands. Big thanks to Saleh for making our Safari experience BIA TAMU!

Exceeded high expectations
The safari exceeded our expectation: from the 80 lions we saw (and most of them up close), to the cheetah hunt and 10 cheetahs and 3 leopards we saw up close, to the lodges we lived in (quite frankly the nicest places we have ever stayed in) and the service we received from Lion King. Flying to Arusha, KLM lost our luggage, but we didn’t have to do more than tell Lion King. Rose in the office called for us every day, making sure we didn’t lose our on important safari time and Gama, our guide, was on the phone with KLM at 4 in the morning to make sure the luggage was delivered to us in the morning before we went on our safari in Serengeti. We were impressed, to say the least. The safari was an incredible experience, and our guide Gama made sure we saw all the animals we had dreamed of seeing. He did so with a cheeky comment always on the ready, personalized wine, and always Coca Cola Zero and beer available in the car - an amazing guide. We always felt safe and taken care of.
All in all, we went in with high expectations. They were exceeded in every aspect; safari, lodging and guide. Would highly recommend to everyone. A special thanks to our guide, Gama, for making sure we saw all the we wanted to see, including the Big Five!
