Amazing adventure with Lion King
We did a 7 days Mid-range safari with Lion King, including visits to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara parks. Everything was very well organised by Pendo. She was very patient and answered our 1000 questions promptly . She also gave us good advice on how to be well prepared for this kind of adventure. Our guide Aziz was incredible. He was doing his best to show us The Big 5 and he did! His knowledge and passion for wildlife is amazing. Additionally, Aziz has the same sense of humour as ours, so it was a perfect match.
It was an experience of a lifetime and we will never forget it. A Big thanks to the Lion King team. We highly recommend doing a Safari with them.

9 day Ndutu Calving Season Serengeti Migration.
We just finished the 9 Day Ndutu Calving season with Richard Moshi , our expert guide.
We were very impressed from the first contact with Lion King Adventures..
Rosemary did an excellent job informing clearly about the desired tour, with budgets and possible minor changes.. We opted for the midrange option.
This was our third trip to Tanzania and exceeded our best expectations.
Our main purpose was photography and it was a purpose achieved , with an appreciable number of “ keepers”.
Through well-planned logistics we managed to do the entire tour without resorting to the terrible lunch boxes .
Richard was unsurpassed in that regard.
A special thanks for a Lion King gesture that captivated us : two personalised wine bottles.
Richard, in addition to his kindness, revealed himself to be a profound connoisseur of wildlife , with an eagle eye.
He did his best to satisfy our intentions and he succeeded.
Good memories are made of this.

Thanks to Lion King Adventures
We wanted to spend a short break in Tanzania. First of all we wanted to stay 3 nights in Zanzibar in the Gold Zanzibar Beach House Spa that is a five stars hotel located in the northwestern part of the island (the area of Kendwa where the tide is not a big issue). After that we wanted to take a safari: 2 nights in the Ndutu area (Ngorongoro Conservation Area) e 2 nights in the Central Serengeti (Seronera area). Everything has been perfetcly arranged by the staff of Lion King Adventures (Godwin and Rose). Those guys did a great job for arranging everything (hotel booking, ground transportation, domestic flights, etc.). We have spent the 4 nights safari in mid-range camps: Ang'ata Migration Ndutu Camp (Ndutu) and Embalakai Serengeti Camp (Central Serengeti). The camps where ok, the staff was great and the food as well. We did safari on full day basis and our guide Immanuel Chamboa did an outstanding job. Thanks.

Great Safari experience
We got the recommandation through friends and we were still stunned by how good the service was. They were super reactive and friendly, from the sales team through the logistic team and last but not least the safari guides. We did not have to worry about anything. The safari guide, Ozzie, was exceptionnal. He made us see the big 5 in 1 day! He taught us so many interesting things about swahili terms, the culture, the flora and fauna. He was always respectful of the other vehicules and of the animals (which was not the case for everyone unfortunately).
We absolutely recommand this amazing team

We see, learn, enjoy… what a high value !
We do appreciate our guide’s availability and listening to our wishes. He gives a lot of information on the fauna and the flora. He’s willing to show us as much as possible. Meals are just great certainly as we looked into the other tourists lunchboxes: fresh food, local food. Sustainable presentation: no waste. We get a high benefit thanks to his professional experience and skills about the tours. Car is clean and comfortable. The proposal to visit a Maasai village was a high value proposition.

Safari trip with wonderful animals, excellent tour guide, luxurious accommodations + delicious food
I recently took a 9 day safari trip with Lion King Adventures in Tanzania and it was a trip of a lifetime! Our tour guide Richard was fantastic, he was knowledgeable, professional and a great spotter of animals. He had a special love for birds and taught us so much about them. On this trip, we visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire park and saw so many amazing animals including lions, elephants, rhinos, and cheetahs.
One of the most memorable moments of the trip was when we stumbled upon two leopards sneaking in the brushes on the ground together in Ndutu, it was a very rare sight and we felt so lucky and excited to have seen it. The living accommodations were top notch, our favorite lodge was Kubu Kubu safari lodge where we got to see giraffes eating leaves right outside our balcony in the early morning when we woke up. The food was delicious every day and we were well taken care of.
The hike around the rim of Ngorongoro crater during sunset was beautiful, the view was breathtaking. I highly recommend this tour company and Richard. Richard truly made our trip unforgettable. Thank you Lion King Adventures for creating such a wonderful experience. 5 stars all around!

Experience of a Lifetime
Just got back to the United States from a private 16 day Tanzanian Safari with Lion King Adventures. Our guide for 14 of the 16 days was Gilbert. I cannot begin to speak highly enough about his knowledge and willingness to accommodate any requests we had along the way. We were treated like royalty from the moment we landed in Kilimanjaro to the day we left. Gilbert made sure they we were informed every step of the way and there were no surprises. I would highly recommend others considering utilizing the services of Lion King.

Knowledgeable, caring, reliable
We planned this Safari trip a month before we fly to Tanzania. We were provided personalized quote and detailed Itinerary through emails. Thanks to Caroline, all schedules and policies were explained well; and the effective communications made the reservation process smooth and professional.
During this 6-days safari trip, all activities and routines were arranged reasonably; from relaxing to wild and back to relaxing. We modified first day with hot spring swimming as we arrived in Arusha early morning and had a few hours fun time. We met our guide Shafino on day-2 and he was our driver, spotter, encyclopedia and lunch server, and he nailed it! He is a wildlife lover and safari master that he spotted wild animals from miles away and answered all our questions about their behaviors and features. We saw all expected animals on the list and much more beyond. Shafino was also knowledgeable with all birds and plants during the trip. He knows the roads and places to find which animals as it is his second home. He can even also introduce us the history or culture of the local people and towns. We can literally ask him anything about what we see on our way.
The daily schedule for meals and accommodation was we left in early morning after breakfast, had picnic lunch(freshly prepared in the mornings) , and arrived to lodges 1-2 hours before dinner time and thus we had enough time to rest and chill. We had unlimited drinking water and also had complimentary wine, beer and softdrinks in the frige of the car. The whole trip is totally safe and enjoyable.
Every single thing in our experience was unforgettable and amazing. We are so pleasured to do this with Lion King Adventures and Shafino. Thank you!

Very knowledgeable and responsive - they delivered a great tour.
It was a pleasure making all the plans with a company run by a former tour guide that knows how to provide the best experience. The service was top notch, they were completely reliable and we had a fantastic experience. It could not have been better. And, our guide was exceptional. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job, being as responsive, and knowledgeable of all the animals in East Africa. It was simply a pleasure going with our guide, Gilbert, and Lion King.

Knowledgeable, caring, great service, friendly
We recently went on a 7 Day custom Safari tour in Tanzania with Lion King Adventures, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The wildlife sightings were simply amazing, and we were fortunate enough to see so many different animals in their natural habitats. We saw lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffalos, giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, various antelopes, hyenas, jackals, foxes, hippos, crocodiles, and countless varieties of birds. It was a true feast for the eyes!
We stayed at some lovely lodges arranged by Lion King Adventures, which were safe and comfortable. The lodges were surrounded by elephants, Wildebeest, zebras, bucks, cheetahs, and leopards, but the staff took great care to ensure our safety at all times.
The service provided by Lion King Adventures was top-notch from start to finish. Caroline was extremely helpful with the initial process and communication, and Pendo devised a great itinerary and did all the bookings to the luxury lodges we stayed at. A special mention goes to our guide, Gama, who was simply fantastic. He made the trip more fun with his smile and enthusiasm, and he was one of the best guides anyone could have asked for. Gama was incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, and he made sure that we saw all the Big 5 game animals and many more. He was great at showcasing the best that Tanzania parks safari has to offer, and he was always ready to answer any questions we had about the wildlife or the parks.
Overall, I can't recommend Lion King Adventures enough. The team went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our trip was taken care of, and they truly made it a trip of a lifetime. Thank you to Caroline, Pendo, and Gama for making this such a special experience!
