So grateful for this amazing safari, seeing the Big Five and so much more
I’m glad that my friend and I choose Lion King Adventure for our safari. The organization was very smooth with Pendo, taking into account our expectations and our budget to create the perfect safari. We only had to manage the international flights to come and go back, that’s all! Even when my friend got the Covid just the day before our flight, they were so flexible and understanding to postpone everything a month later.
Our guide David was so kind and experienced, explaining to us so many interesting things not only about the animals but about the culture as well, bringing us to the best places to see animals and taking care of our wishes to do everything to please us. We had the chance to see the Big Five and even more thanks to him.
Our jeep was really comfortable (even washed every day!), with binoculars, electrical outlets, sunroof, fresh water at disposal. Our accommodations were well chosen, in the spirit of what we had in mind, with friendly and helpful staff. Our meals were great as well, even the lunch on the road - not boxed food or sandwiches, real hot lunches.
We are so grateful for this amazing trip, meeting great people, seeing all these animals, enjoying every minute. Asante sana!

Amazing unforgettable Safari!!!
Lion King Adventures was amazing to work with. I highly recommend them. My friend and I just completed an 8 day safari and had the best adventure ever! My great experience started when I reached out to Lion King initially. Pendo listened to what we wanted to do and customized an itinerary. She was very responsive and emailed me back quickly regarding any questions I had. Lion King Adventures has a great website too. We finalized the itinerary and we sent in our deposit.
We had originally scheduled a departure date on January 7. We arrived to the airport and our plane was broke and we had to cancel since we couldn’t make our international connections. I emailed Pendo from the airport letting her know that we wouldn’t be arriving in 24 hours. She said no problem and to let her know when we could come. We rescheduled with the same itinerary - no issues!
We arrived for our safari in Feb and it was the best experience ever! Lion King met us at the airport and took us to our hotel. Our guide Gilbert picked us up on the first day in a well stocked with drinks safari vehicle with pop up top. I loved the refrigerator and charging ports.
Now for the best part! We visited many national parks and conservation areas. Tarangire, Ndetu,
Ngorongoro, Lake Maynara, and my favorite the Serengeti! Gilbert was the best guide and knew how to find and get up close to the animals. He found the harder to locate animals such as many lions, many cheetahs, a leopard and black rhinos. A couple highlights were we watched cheetah cubs play and a pride of lions napping while the cubs played. I got so many amazing pictures and memories. We also saw giraffes, elephants, zebras, witnessed a wildebeest crossing and saw hundreds more. Gilbert knew all of the areas and how to best see everything we wanted. He also knew names of all the animals, birds and trees and a lot of details He taught us so much!
The food was amazing too. We had picnics like I’ve never had before. A hot meal was prepared and brought along every day. We ate in the most amazing spots that Gilbert picked out.
I highly recommend going with Lion King Adventures. They are amazing from beginning to end!

Amazing experience
We did the 4 night 3 day tour that did not include the Serengeti and it was great.
We might have had very good luck seeing as we got to see all of the big 5 as well as cheetahs. Our guide, David, was great at knowing when to go find the animals and when to wait for them to cross our paths as well as being a pleasure during our tour.
The accommodation was fantastic and it's hard to beat the luxury offered and the staff that provide it. That and the hampers prepared to our order every day made it a very enjoyable experience.
The downside of this activity was the amount of travel as we did make it to 3 different national parks/locations in a single trip however, being able to see the different environments in such a short space of time made every day unique.

Fab experience / company
We did the 4 night 3 day luxury safari tour. We had a great experience with Lion King. Communication and organisation before, during and after was excellent and any requests were dealt with instantly.
We got to see all of the big 5 as well as cheetahs. Our guide David was great at knowing where to go / wait to find the animals and he made everything was stress free and easy. Kitela lodge was a fab hotel to come back and relax in. If I was to come back, I would add on Serengeti National Park and perhaps opt for the on-site accommodation so you are closer to the animals for sunrise and sunset. I was impressed that the owners of Lion King came and met us at the end of the trip to get some honest feedback on what went well and what could be improved.
Best Safari ever
We had a fantastic Safari with Lionking adventure.
Everything was easy and clear in making choices before to come.
Then we had a problem and came 2 days late due to Covid.
They rescheduled everything for us and finally we could have exactly the Safari we wanted.
Lodge selection was perfect with a special mention to Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge that is totally incredible.
All the way our guide and driver, Khalifa, was not only professional but also very friendly, trying to answer all our wishes in the best way possible.
His wildlife knowledge was impressive and we have learned a lot.
Best if the best, in addition to English, he speaks French fluently and this was so nice for the kids who do not speak English.
We also had great food all the time and lunch was served like in a restaurant, hot in the middle of nowhere.
There would be much more good things to say about car, timing and kindness of everyone everywhere we have been.
I will recommend all without changing anything to my friends!

Wonderful experience
Here in Africa we experienced amazing adventure, we saw lot of animals, including the big five. We visited all the national parks so we could saw all the bio types that are here. We could recommend this trip to everyone who loves nature and animals. Really wonderful trip. Also I am on gluten free diet and there was no problem to provide it to me.

Professional and personal
After completing the 6-day safari with lion king adventures we lay 6 of the longest days of our lives behind us, but also six of our absolute best.
It is such an experience and you travel through so many different contexts/landscapes that takes your breath away. The accomodations were far beyond our expectations and we saw more animals than we ever could have imagined.
The guide Immanuel, he is the man! It felt more that you've had a friend (a very knowledgeable one) with you for the journey than a guide. We have talked about everything between heaven and earth and had a lovely time together. If you get the chance, chose him.
The other people at Lion King adventures has been super friendly and easy going, want to give a special shout-out to Anna and Nickson for helping us from the very begining, setting everything up and answering all our questions.
So what more can I say,
Don't miss this opportunity!
And to lion king adventures we say:
Tuonane tena hivi karibuni!
(See you soon again!)

Reliable and competent operator - absolutely amazing!
What an experience! Everything was perfect – we have seen all the big 5 multiple times and also some of the small ones. Our Guide "Macha" was the coolest and nicest guy. A perfect driver in every situation with a huge knowledge about the animals (he answered every question) and eagle eyes (he spottet every animal in the distance). Very important: he had the most respect for the animals and the environment and made always sure that everything was to the best. We were so happy that we had reusable dishes as our lunch boxes with delicious dishes (also for vegetarians) they were refilled every day by the the camp we spent the night.
It was an unbelievable experience like suddenly being in a documentary. The communication with Lion King Adventures during booking was perfect and always on time it was absolutely worth the money.
100% recommendation to book with Lion King Adventures!

Fabulous luxury safari, highly recommend!
For our honeymoon, my husband and I booked a 3 night, 4 day safari, staying at kitela lodge and maroboe lodge znd doing safari in Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park with lion king adventures. we were so happy with the experience! Peter (Mr Babies, because he found so many baby animals), our guide was amazing, so professional, knowledgeable and friendly! The lodges were both very luxurious (loved arriving back to champagne and a swim). The land cruiser was spacious and well stocked with water, soft drinks, wine & beer and we had a very nice hot lunch hamper every day. We saw a lot of animals, lions, elephants, giraffe, zebra, monkeys, kingfisher, vulture, ostrich etc. We really had an experience which will last us for a lifetime. Couldn't more highly recommend Lion King adventures and can't wait to come back again!
