Amazing
We did our safari with Lion King Adventures.
Preparing the safari :
We wanted to do a 3 day safari. We read many very good reviews online and decided to contact them. We wanted a private safari and a nice accommodation.
First contact was on WhatsApp. I told them what we wanted and they gave me suggestions about the places to visit and about the accommodations.
I was very happy with the program but I preferred to change the accommodation with another one. They were very flexible and I did not feel anything was not possible. The changes I asked for looked (from my perspective of tourist) more expensive than the initial suggestions. However, I was told that my choices were less expensive and they sent me an updated offer. I did appreciate the honesty and felt directly very much in a trust relationship with them. Pone was the person who helped me in the process and who made it very smooth.
D-Day :
We arrived at arusha Airport and were welcomed directly by our guide Immanuel.
Program:
Day 1 : Tarangire national Park
Day 2 : Ngorongogo crater
Day 3 : Manyara
Accommodation: Manyara’s Secret
Our guide Immanuel :
If we were hoping to get a nice guide before going, we never expected to have this level of service.
Excellent driver and true passionate of the wildlife, he shared with us everything he knew about the different species we saw, and he knows a LOT. He did everything he possibly could to show us the different animals.
He is very knowledgeable and explained many things to us, from the small birds to the big cats, he went into a great level of details about the specifics each one of them.
I went with my girlfriend and we spent 3 days with him. We never felt at any point that we would have preferred to be alone. He was here but giving us privacy as well.
We don't consider him as just our guide anymore, we really hope we can come back and go on another adventure with the man of 1000 skills, Immanuel !
Thank you Lion King Adventures for this amazing trip, and a special thanks to our new friend Immanuel !!

Fantastic customised Safari!
My sister and I planned on a two week vacation in Zanzibar and wanted to go on a independent safari during our stay. We researched many Safari companies on line, and we are incredibly satisfied that we chose Lion King Adventures. From our first contact with Pendo, we knew we had made the right choice. She worked with us to customise our Safari experience. We were able to change the number of nights that suited to our flighs to and from Arusha, and change some of the accommodations. In short we were able to do the five day safari in four days without missing out on anything and it felt more like a private luxury experience than a mid range Safari for a great price. We were picked up from the Arusha airport in the morning by our fantastic guide Immanuel and set off to our first destination Tarangire Park and our wonderful adventure began. During these four days we traveled more than a thousand kilometres, learned so much and were able to see some of the most breathtaking and always changing scenery and of course all the animals at times from very up close. Our guide, Immanuel took great care of us, speaks good english, is an excellent driver and likes being a Safari guide. He is not only knowledgeable about these environments, but still curious about them himself. He is welcoming to questions and always wanting to know more and taking the time to learn more about this amazing flora and fauna that surrounds one in this beautiful part of Africa. I feel that this wasn't just a safari to see the important animals, but also a botanist dream and a super bird watching experience. We definitely had a trip and experience of a lifetime that I will cherish always. Thank you Lion King Adventures and definitely hope to reconnect in the future!!!

Great safari experience!
Despite COVID, we were able to travel from Sydney to Tanzania and do a safari with Lion King Adventures in December 2021. Nick and Pendo helped us put together our customised 6 day itinerary covering the Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara - they were highly responsive and made the process seamless. They have a flexible COVID cancellation policy. Our guide, Peter, is a passionate, knowledgeable and highly experienced guide. We were able to see the big 5, the elusive serval cat, and Peter made it his mission to help us spot many baby animals. We were also pleased with the food on the tour - lunches in particular were hot lunches and not boxed food. Would recommend choosing Lion King.

Once in a lifetime
Reviewed 2 days ago via mobile
We had a wonderful experience with lion king from inquiry, payment, and all the way through the safari. The accommodations were great and each location was able to provide vegetarian meals too. Our trip was over the Christmas holiday and each location made he holiday special.
The safari itself was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Salehe was very knowledgeable regarding the animals and each location we went to. It was clear he knew the parks inside and out. Each day we were in disbelief with the animals he found (big 5, giraffe, cheetah, leopards, and so many cubs). Our group of four had a private vehicle and Salehe was with us the whole trip.
Highly recommend lion king - exceeded our expectations

Lion King Adventures - the best agency for Safari
Our trip with Lion King Adventures was amazing, we had a lot of fun. We saw many animals and learnt a so much new and interesting things about them. All four national parks Tarangire, Serengeti, NgoroNgoro and Lake Manyara are very beautiful and there are many possibilities to see the wild nature. The agency Lion King Adventures prepared the excellent trip, which was managed and organized on professional level. Our guard Mwita made this few days on Safari unforgettable. We think that he is one of the best guards in Arusha. He is very kind and friendly. The Lion King Adventures has a lot of luck for having him. He makes everything for us to be happy.
One example for all: our last day on Safari, after a great lunch we went straight to the airport. When we got there my son, found out that, he forgot his phone on the lunch place. (it was about 45 minutes from the airport). Our guard Mwita really helped us. He was willing to call to the people that work here on the place where we had lunch. Then he went the whole ride again to our lunch place and back to the airport for my son's phone. That day he really helped us, he solved the problem, and he was willing to go the whole ride again and saved my son's phone.
The Lion King Adventures offers great services with extra bonus to make their customers happy and to make them enjoy their holiday.
The accommodations during our Safari trip were really High Top.
Who chooses Lion King Adventures will be 100% satisfied and will come home with many new experiences.
Thanks, once more for all!!!

One of the best tour ever!
We heard about the agency by chance, from couple on the beach in Zanzibar. Then we came up with the idea that we could go on safari in ten days. We contacted the agency, they answered us in a very short time and offered us several options. We chose the luxury safari option and we really didn’t go wrong. Everything was well organized, we are extremely pleased that we chose a safari with this agency. We were in the national parks of Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. The accommodations they booked us were perfect, I would especially recommend Lake Manyara Lodge where we stayed for two days. Our guide was David, very nice and friendly young man, he informed us about all the animals we saw, but also about other things about Tanzania that interested us. Thank you for everything, this is an experience we will never forget!

Amazing 4 days Safari!
We did a 4 days safari in Ngorongoro, Serengeti & Lake Manyara with Khalifa Shabani. It was an amazing experience and our guide Khalifa was the best.
First of all, Lion King were very professional in organising our trip, answering to all our questions and requests. We had a problem with our plane tickets getting cancelled and they promptly changed our safari dates 2 days before.
The accomodation was beyond expectations, especially Embalakai Camps. Eileen’s tree was very nice too. The Jeep was very comfortable, we always had food and cold drinks, even wine and gin.
Our guide Khalifa was very knowledgeable, he answered all of our questions, he took us to the best places to spot all the animals. He was very kind and made our trip so much more enjoyable. He speaks 4 languages, english very good and also french.
We were able to see all the animals up close: lions, cheetas, leopards, zebras, giraffes, elephants, hipos, buffalos, antelopes and gazelles, hyenas, jackals, pumbas, surricates, and many more. We even saw 3 black rhinos in Ngorongoro!
I strongly advise everyone to choose Lion King and ask for Khalifa Shabani! It will surely be a trip you will never forget.

Excellent
I had an incredible experience on Lion King's 6-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorogoro Crater.
Everything was well planned and coordinated from the airport pickup, travel schedule, and accommodation arrangements. You don't need to stress about any details!
Over email, Pendo was easy to work with in the lead up to our trip and very thorough.
The star of our trip was our guide, Salehe. He was very kind and highly knowledgeable of all of the animals. We saw all of the big 5, including many animals close up. He always seemed to know just where to go!
I would not hesitate to book your safari with Lion King Adventures and will be recommending them to my friends and family.

Warmest recommendation
We've selected Lion King Adventures as they were the first ones to responed within couple of hours to my initial inquiry. And from that moment up to the end of the Safari it went just better and better. Super easy commmunication, all the accomodation, meals and the safari itself as agreed and on time.
They, both backoffice and the guide, provided super useful information and support lrior and during the Safari.
The safari setup with shorter travelling and time to relax proved to be a great choice as it was really tailored to fully enjoy the safari, not to travel all the time.
A warm recommendation to all, we are a family of 4 and seeing the big 5 (thnx to the guide really pushing strong on Leopards and Rhyno) it was a one of the lifetime experience for kids. The kids are actually pretty sure we've seen and photographed all the animals in Tanzania.
Lion King Adventures is really a super warm recommendation.
