Fantastic safari lead by great guides
This was my first trip to Tanzania. We were in a group of 8 and Ozzie and Mwita took excellent care of us. On the safaris, they were very accommodating to our requests and incredibly respectful of the wildlife. They were willing to get up extra early to ensure we can see the best wildlife.
I was in Mwita’s car and he was spotting animals from incredible distances.
If there was a question they didn’t know the answer to, they would take the time to find the answer.
I would recommend these two and Lion King to anyone looking for a once in a lifetime experience.

7 day Lion Kind Safari
The wildlife we saw was amazing but the trip wouldn’t have been as incredible as it was without our guides, Mwita and Ozzy. They were respectful of animals, flexible with the desires of our group, and kind to everyone. I highly recommend this experience.

Amazing Safari
If there is one adjective to use for this trip it is SUPERB. From my initial contact with the company until when our amazing guide Saleh dropped us off to the airport last night the experience with Lion King Adventure is nothing less than excellent. I had my sister and dad arriving from New Zealand to visit me in Tanzania and wanted them to have an experience of a lifetime. As a resident in Dar, I had been lucky enough to have done previous Safaris. I had high expectations of how easy it is to deal with a company, where we stayed, the food and service, the itinerary, affordability and MOST IMPORTANTLY the need for a knowledgeable guide. Lion King Adventure fulfilled my expectations on all of these.
Saleh our guide was fantastic. Not only was he exceptionally knowledgeable, he showed a real interest in getting to know us, to make sure we were always happy, comfortable and finding ways to make our safari the best it could be. He went to great lengths to be able to show us every animal we dreamed of seeing, whilst also being flexible on the timing of our days. I was impressed that no matter what park we were in, he knew where to take us (we covered 100s of km of the plains, lakes, national parks). He is a super kind and happy man. His energy was so welcomed on some long days out together on the truck. I would recommend Saleh 100% and will be asking for him again on my next adventure with the rest of my family.
The accommodation was excellent and service second to none. I don't have anything but positive things to say about the whole experience.
Thanks Saleh and your team at Lion King Adventures

Excellent Safari 10/10
We're currently on the last night of our Safari with Lion King. We've done the 7 day Western Serengeti Safari and stayed at some lovely tented camps (Embalakai & Tukaone) in the heart of the Serengeti. Top marks for both✅️
Our guide, Macha, has been outstanding. Great knowledge, driving & amazing wildlife spotting with excellent intuition on where to find the wildlife. He's a lovely friendly chap too!
We've seen lots of migrating Wildebeest & Zebra, an amazing sight and in excess of 80 lions with a fair few Cheetah & Leopard too. How Macha gets into such great positions without disturbing the wildlife is an art form.
Back at Lion King HQ communication has been top drawer from Anna & Nickson.
We've done a few Safaris in our time but this has been excellent. I'd recommend Lion King to everyone.

SALEH was a fantastic driver/guide. Well done
Our Safari was excellent due to our driver/ guide SALEH. His knowledge of the area, his ability to stake out the animals and anticipate where they might travel made our Safari and outstanding success. Saleh Was also very respectful of his vehicle which was well appointed and comfortable but needed to travel over some very rough roads.

Excellent tour operator from the contact person Pendo to our guide Mashoke
My girlfriend an I would at first recommend the service and expertise of the person behind the tour operator Lion King safaris.
Thank you Pendo (our contact person) for your very kind und always fast answers to all of our questions in advance to the safari-tour. You were one of the reasons why we choose Lion king!
Special thanks to our lovely and very friendly guide Mashoke! He has incredible knowledge in nature, animals and plants. He was able to explain everything we asked him in detail also geographic phenomenon’s - that’s amazing! We couldn’t get a better guide than him - always friendly, helpful, and a very good driver. We felt all the time very safe. Keep it that way!

Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Excellent service and trip
Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Excellent service and trip
We did a 4 day “economy’ safari. Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro park and crater. We loved it. Jam packed with all the animals you can wish for. Our driver Goodluck was phenomenal at finding hard to find animals such as several, leopards, hyena, plus all the others. The company was responsive and helpful. I will be highly recommending to others. Our cook, Kareem was very nice and met out Dietary needs. I can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience. Our expectations were exceeded by this service and experience that Lion King adventures provided. We highly recommend them.

7 Day Custom Safari with Mwita and Ozzie
Mwita and Ozzie made our safari! Excellent spotting and driving skills. Mwita was born in a national park and grew up developing his skills. Saw too many lions to count, 3 leopards, an African wild cat, serval, 3 rhinos, a cheetah fighting with a hyena and so much more. They had great patience teaching us to spot, id birds, and take pictures. Tons of fun to be with. They know how to beat the crowds and find their own animals. Very respectful to the animals as well. Mwita also has mechanic skills to very quickly helped a number of other drivers. It's nice to know you won't breakdown and get stuck in the heat.
Highly recommend.

The BEST safari experience we could have asked for!
This safari with Lion King Adventures exceeded every single expectation we had. We did the 7-day luxury all inclusive safari experience which included a private guide/driver for the entire trip, game drives, incredible food (breakfast/lunch/dinner), and top luxury hotels. Every category was spot on. The car was an extended Land Cruiser that could fit 10 but it was just us two and the driver. They added additional padding to the seats and head rests to make it even more comfortable. Every door had huge windows and the roof opened up so you could stand at any point and get better views of the animals. The car also had a refrigerator so you could have all the cold water, soft drinks, beer and wine you could want. It was extremely comfortable, which was important because you are driving the majority of the time. We saw every single animal we wanted to see: lions, hippos, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, gazelle, cheetahs, leopards, warthogs, and even the rare rhino. We saw lions eating meals they had just hunted, wildebeest crossing the river, cheetahs running after prey, and even a pride of lions with cubs. Truly remarkable and unforgettable!
The booking experience was easy - they were so quick to respond and accommodated all of our requests. They provided an awesome multi-page pdf with explanations of each day, what you can hope to see, the hotels, and photos.
The food was incredible; every day for lunch our guide packed a hot and delicious meal that he set up with a table cloth and full place settings. He would make us hott cofee in the afternoon and a class of wine or beer with our lunch.
The hotels were all better than the last and felt luxurious, accommodating and authentic. The food was delicious; mostly set menus with a million sides to choose from and the breakfasts had everything you could ask for.
The best part was our guide, Saleh. We have done many trips with guides and he was by far the best one. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, respectful, and so accommodating. He never overstepped, he was funny, genuine, and knew just about every answer to every question we had. You can tell he takes his job very seriously but also enjoys it. We are so happy to have met him. Saleh is the reason we had such a good time.
If you go to Tanzania - or anywhere in East Africa, I highly recommend using Lion King Adventures. I could not picture a better choice.
