Nature close at hand
From the very first contact the Lion King Adventures was very responsive, highly professional and informative.
We were very happy with the standard of the trip which was a great combination of comfort and a feeling of being close at hand with the amazing Tanzanian nature.
We saw a lot of wild animals, including the great five, in their natural surrandings. At the same time we had the feeling that the guide - Aziz respect their space.
The trip would not be such an amazing experience if it was not for Aziz. He was not only a enthusiastic, knowlegable guide but a truly enjoyable companion. He shared with us a lot of interesting facts about the wildlife and their natural habitat. At the same he is an easy going, tactful and reliable young person. Many thanks Aziz!

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.
