I would 100% recommend Lion King to help you plan the trip of your dreams!
Caroline and Pendo did an excellent job of preparing the itinerary and were very flexible to accommodate changes and parts that I had already booked myself. The communication and professionalism made things very easy.
The safari experience exceeded my expectations. We had a great Guide, Gama who used his special powers to locate any animal we asked! We saw all the big 5 plus many more. We even managed to spot lions everyday and even saw a a rhino on 4 separate occasions (very rare!). Gama was super knowledgeable about the animals and local people so he made sure we learned a lot!

Excellent 36 hour adventure
Goodluck could not have done more to help us experience all there was to witness - he really made sure it was the most incredibly special short safari - there was a cheetah, a lion kill with cubs and a mourning elephant - honestly it was magical.

Unforgettable Safari
I had an amazing time on my private safari tour with Lion King Adventures! My girlfriend and I were blown away by the incredible experience we had on this 6 day tour, which was organized to perfection and led by the exceptional guide, Lucas Goodluck. From the moment we set off from Arusha, we were captivated by the breathtaking beauty of Tarangiri National Park, Lake Manyara, South Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and the banana and rice Plantage in Mto Wa mbu, which included a visit to the local tribes that carve ebony wood.
Lucas was the perfect guide - extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and competent. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great time and that we saw all the animals we wanted to see. And what animals we saw! We were lucky enough to spot 2 leopards, more than 20 lions, a group of 4 cheetahs, 2 black rhinos, giraffes, elephants, several hippopotamus, and a whole host of different species of birds and other mammals. The whole experience was truly unforgettable.
I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience. The whole tour was very well organized, with excellent communication throughout, and the professionalism of Lucas made the experience even more special. Thank you so much, Lucas and Lion King Adventures!

Amazing Safari Experience
My husband and I wanted to design our own 10 day honeymoon safari, and we are so glad we chose Lion King Adventures! There are an overwhelming number of safari companies to choose from, but we would absolutely recommend Lion King! We had 6 full safari days, and ended our trip with a short beach getaway in Zanzibar.
Caroline and Pendo were so helpful in coming up with our itinerary, providing detailed information on all of the options, and making sure everything was easy and worry-free for our arrival and all of our transfers, despite a number of flight changes. Their carefully designed itinerary helped is to see as many national parks as possible during our time there. The combination of luxury lodges and tented camps that they chose for us were all very nice as well, and we had a lot of little romantic surprises at the accommodations, in addition to the few dinner and sundowner add-ons that we organized ahead of time.
We are so thankful to our guide, Salehe, for making our safari an incredible experience! He made every day fun and informative, answered all of our questions about the animals and Tanzania, and always made us feel safe with his careful on and off-road driving and navigation. We always had warm meals for lunch, lots of drinks, and plenty of bathroom stops, too! He made sure we made the most of our safari days (which were planned with us each evening for the next day) and that we got the opportunity to see all of the animals that we wanted to without feeling rushed. Thank you so much, Salehe, we will never forget our trip!

Best trip we have ever had!
We (husband/wife) just finished a 4-day safari with Lion King Adventures (Feb4-7). It was without a doubt the best vacation we have ever had. We cannot recommend this company and our guide Emil enough. The pre-tour communication, itinerary, spacious vehicle, lodging and most importantly our guide were all phenomenal! Emil was such a wealth of information, an expert driver/scouter and such a genuine person who was an absolute joy to be with. He really made the trip unforgettable.
We booked the midrange package and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. The "tent" in the Serengeti was more luxurious than most hotels and it was a highlight waking up surrounded by wildlife. We saw the Big 5 on countless occasions along with all the other wildlife, beautiful scenery, Masai people and Tanzanian culture which was just as spectacular.
If you are considering booking with Lion King Adventures, do not hesitate and make sure to request Emil!
Parks visited: Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Lake Manyara

Beyond expectations
We took the 5-day best of mid-range Northern circuit. Unlike most travellers we first thought of going on a safari only two weeks before it actually happened. The Lion King team was really helpful in arranging our trip on such short notice with constant communication. Our trip with our guide Shafino was just marvelous. Thanks to him we have been able to see the big 9 and not only from the distance but mostly just a few meters apart. Looking a leopard or a lion in the eye, watching cheetahs eat their prey is a memory we will never forget.

Extremely easy to work with and obtain information.
My wife and I did an 8 day Safari in the northern part of Tanzania. Our guide and driver, Yusuph, was exceptional. He was always ready to help in any way. He knew where the animals would usually be and made out trip a memorable one. The lodges chosen by Lion King were each incredibly beautiful and comfortable, with stunning views. The information provided by Rose and Godwin at Lion King provided all of the answers we needed to proceed on this great adventure. If you're considering a Safari tour in Tanzania, you could not find a better company, or better people with whom to do business. We had an experience of which we will never forget. Do it. Call Lion King and have an experience of a lifetime.

Unforgettable safari experience, fantastic throughout!
We decided last minute for a safari and booked with Lion king adventures on very short notice (1 week! )
They handled our request very quickly and professionally, tailoring the experience for us to perfection. Everything was simple to set up, in a safe and organized manner.
The safari itself was wonderful. Our guide Joseph made sure that we never lacked anything, and we managed to see everything we wanted. He was very knowledgeable and made sure we got excellent viewing angles and great photo opportunities! He put a lot of effort into the game drives and the whole experience, we could not have asked for more. We felt very Well taken care of with him.
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable experience with a great guide, can warmly recommend to everyone.

Phenomenal from start to finish.
The experience that we had with Lion King Adventures was like no other. They were very communicative and flexible to our demands while we were considering booking with them. The accomodations provided exceeded our expectations. Our safari guide, Fred, was an excellent spotter of animals. This helped in us successfully observing various wildlife activity in a truly exceptional way. Without doubt, I will choose Lion King Adventures again for my next Tanzania Safari.

First class and utterly seamless from start to finish
Very difficult to put into words what we have experienced here in Tanzania. “Life changing” doesn’t even do it justice.
First, our safari company. Lion King Safaris did an incredible job in accommodating our every request - and there were many! Every email was answered promptly and professionally. We went into this trip with full expectations of lots of glitches along the way but there were NONE. Super happy with our choice and would highly recommend to anyone.
Next, our guide. GoodLuck (yes, that is his name :-) exceeded our expectations in every way. I could list hundreds of animals, including all the Big Five; that we saw up close and personal every day, seemingly effortlessly, but truly it was Good Luck and his tireless efforts that made it seem so. His breadth of knowledge about every single creature we encountered was astonishing, and his love for his country and its inhabitants - human and animal - shone through in 100 ways. We asked questions incessantly and he answered every one patiently and thoughtfully. He provided a true education of Tanzania, it’s animals, it’s people. Because of him I am walking away with a deep love and concern for this country that I don’t think I would’ve developed otherwise. I can only hope that we will meet again, in fact, it makes me profoundly sad to think that we may not.
As for accommodations:
Maramboi tented lodge, KubuKubu tented lodge, Lake Masek tented lodge we’re all PERFECT. The food, the staff, the grounds couldn’t have been better. To hear the giraffes, elephants, lions etc outside our “tents” (I use that word loosely - the accommodations were luxurious to say the least) was so special!
As for our last accommodation, Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge: It was over-the-top luxurious, literally the poshest hotel I’ve ever stayed in (and that’s saying a lot). The staff - especially Richardi, Tiesi, Ayisha, and Anna - were amazing. If you want a “Four Seasons” type experience, this place is for you. My one complaint is that Good Luck was not allowed to dine with us. Very disappointing.
To wrap this up: if you are reading this, don’t give it another thought. Just do it! And ask for - no, insist upon! – GoodLuck as your guide.
