Highly Recommend. They took care of everything
I highly recommend Lion King Adventures. They are a locally owned and operated company in Tanzania specializing in Safaris. I sent them a list of things I wanted to do for our honeymoon, and they came back with a complete itinerary that hit my high points and was within my budget. They were very responsive while we finalized the itinerary.
Once on the trip, we did not have to worry about a thing. We were picked up from the airport and had the same driver and vehicle daily. The driver, Yosuf, spoke good English and always tried to work around what we wanted to do. We even made detours to pharmacies, clothing stores, and gift shops on the way to and from different national parks.
During the flight there our bag was lost by the airline. The support staff in the office worked with the airline to find the bag and deliver it to our hotel. I did not have to do a thing except file the initial claim.
It was a great trip.

From defining our objectives to executing the safari, we couldn't ask for more. Fabulous!
Planning the safari
Anna ,who took over the administration part of the project, from Nick Anderson, did a great job. Indeed, she communicated very effectively. Each of my questions got the answer within 24 hours. A real pro!
Executing the safari
Our three guides, Mwita, Immanuel, Salhe, were part of the team: they knew the "place", they anticipated when flexibility was required and they were friendly people with a superb sense of humor.. We were so pleased to invite them for dinner because it is not always easy to satisfy such a large and diversified group.
Facilities
The lodges where very confortable especially the bathroom and the food was good (One doesn't go to the" Jungle"to enjoy every
day a three star restaurant.....)
Thank you to the management of Lion King who made this trip the dream of a life......

Fred Chesam was excellent in all aspects of the safari.
Fred was an excellent tour guide. We saw all the animals we dreamed of. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, hippos, rhinos and more. Fred was fun to spend time with. The jeep was spotless everyday. The lunches were fantastic. He was extremely conscientious and answered all the questions we had including the area culture. We enjoyed all our dinner conversations with Fred. You could tell he was on good terms with the staff of all the places he stayed. Fred deserves more than a 5 star rating.

Amazing Safari!
We were thrilled with the reliability and hospitality we received both from our guide Gilbert and the tour operator Lion King.
All of our accommodations exceeded our expectations, and were very clean however the food became repetitious after a week. Main dishes consisted of overcooked chicken or meat in a variety of sauces with either rice or potatoes and vegetables. ( I assume this is generic for all tour operators depending on the pricing level. )
A hot lunch was provided everyday while we were in transit. Each lodge or camp provided the lunch for the next day.
We moved five times during a week long safari and although we covered a lot of ground and saw over 85 species of birds, reptiles and animals, I would have preferred a slower pace, maybe move only three times in a week and have more down time. This was a personal preference and I would not say the our entire group of four people would agree!
In the end, I would not hesitate to recommend Lion King.

It has been a fantastic experience full of unforgettable moments
A fantastic adventure, led by David our Lion King guide, knowledgeable about the Savannah, has been able to make me live an unforgettable experience and delve into the secrets of Africa, an experience difficult to forget, for its magnificent species of both fauna and botany, as well as for the treatment received. Thanks

Exceptional Safari
My partner and I did a 7 day camping Safari with Lion King Adventures. We had the most fabulous time!!!!
We went to Arusha, Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater NP and Lake Manyara NP.
Everything was very well organised and we were looked after extremely well.
Our guide Khalefa was so friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks to him we saw a huge number of animals (including all of the big 5). He is very experienced and any minor problems we had were fixed promptly, thanks to him and the company.
The camping was seamless, we were very comfortable and loved being so close to the wildlife when we camped in the parks.
Our chef Alute cooked the most delicious food, we loved meal times as much as the game drives!
Overall a 10/10 experience and would recommend to everyone!!!
Thank you Khalefa, Alute and everyone at Lion King Adventures!!!

Lion King Adventure and our guide Gilbert gave me a fantastic time in Tanzania.
Lion King Adventure was a perfect experience from day one and til we finished our safari. They answered all my questions before we came and kept us informed. When we arrived in Tanzania we were met at the airport by a very nice man and from there on out everything was fantastic. Our guide Gilbert met us the next morning, he went through our program for the next 4 days, what we could expect to see etc etc. The game drives was incredible, Gilbert made sure we saw all the big 5 and also the ugly 5. He was very observant, understood when we wanted to stop, or stay and just look at the animals. Imagine 3 half old ladies trying to see where he was pointing...he was so patient.
Lion King Adventure had great cars, good quality seats and lots of water, soda or beer and wine for us ladies. We were given warm lunsj every day, delicious, with warm vegetables, different stews and fresh fruits and cold drinks.
I loved all the game drives, I did not expect to see so much beautiful nature and so many animals and birds.
The hotels Lion King Adventures had picked out was also very nice, my favorite was Emalakai, waking up to the elephant roar and the hippo grassing next to the tent, the staff singing for us...they gave me a memory I will remember for ever.
I will come back, and will use Lion King Adventure again. Thank you all for making my trip the best ever, and a special thanks to our wonderful guide Gilbert and the Massai warrior at Embalakai for the fantastic story.

A safari to remember
We have spent a wonderful time with our guide Saleh in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw both the big and ugly five and even a cheetah hunt, albeit an unsuccessful one. ;) Special thanks belongs to Saleh for his superb service and extensive knowledge about the nature. We'd like to especially highlight his careful driving, we always felt safe. Thanks again!

Beyond our expectations
The whole experience was a pleasure, from the enquire, when the agent was very patient answering my question and making the accomodations that I requested. It was all very organized, they kept us informed of the bookings and provided us with the best options.
The quality of the hotels, the food and transportation was the best. The guide (Yusuph) was always attentive of our needs and requests, he provided us with binoculars, carried books where he showed us more information and pictures of the animals we saw, he had wide knowledge of the characteristics and behaviors of the animals and kept us informed all the tome, he took very good care of us.
I recommend this agency 100%
