An luxurious experience with a great team!
I was quite hesitant when preparing for this trip, as this is an once in a life time experience and there are so many choice in the market. LionKing is the most responsive (literally get back to me in an hour in every email communication) and gave me the best suggestions on the itinerary! I immediate feel their professionalism on the first day. My guide Yuseph has a passion for wild life, he is always explaining the animals' habit, behavior, strength to me. Also he love to spend as much time as possible when we spot some interesting animals. He is open to suggestions on adjusting the route and time to better fit my personal interest. He is keen to know how the food and accommodation were (of course they are all excellent!) and will make improvement base on my comments. I saw all the beautiful animals that I wish to see, with a very good angle every time, and took cinematic photos and videos along the way.
I really appreciate the efforts the team put on my trip, I feel they really love what they do, that makes a difference. Would definitely recommend to my friends!

Caring
Our tourguides, Goodluck and our private chef Careem, were great. They did all that we could enjoy our safari. We definitely also had the best tour operator. We had complementary drinks, really good food, a really good car and a good overall organisation.
Goodluck really loves his country and nature! You can think about a better tourguide. He loves nature and respects all animals. He knows everything about animals behaviour and also pays high attention that we and others respect nature and their natural habitat.
Careem cooked us sich delicious food every night and also for lunch! He has great skills and is such a nice person. We really enjoyed staying with Lion King and Kind highly recommend this great tour operator!!

A fabulous six days on safari in Tanzania
We spent 6 days on safari with Lion King in various NPs in Tanzania. We had a fabulous time. Gilbert, our driver guide, was fantastic. He is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and plants that we saw on our adventure. He way beyond what we expected and made sure that we saw all of the wildlife that we wanted see. He was punctual, made sure that all of the logistics for our tour went very smoothly and was a great guy to be around for a week. Our accommodations and the food we were served were top notch. We highly recommend Lion King if you want to have an excellent safari experience.

Fantastic
Our nine-day trip exceeded all expectations. Everyone we worked with at Lion King Adventures was top-notch, giving us invaluable help from the early planning stages through the end of the trip. Nickson, Pendo, and Anna were patient and informative as we tailored our itinerary, fielding all manner of questions and setting us up with an amazing safari-- one with a great balance between comfort and bush experience. When it came to the wildlife, our guide Freddy was unbeatable. With twelve years as a guide, he knew all the ropes of the Northern Tanzania safari circuit: the terrain, the animals, the guides, the roads, the camps... everything. He was motivated, eagle-eyed, a great driver, and determined to give us the incredible experience we ended up with. These were full, full days, and somehow each day was my favorite. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Best Safari experience!
We just spent 6 days on Safari (incl.: parks of Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti) and was the best trip we ever made!
Our guide, Gilbert, was extremely knowledgable about the ecosystem, explaining us everything with a lot of detail. Also, he was very experienced in finding the best spots to observe the different animals, as well as a very skilled driver through the different terrains of the parks. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures for their attention to detail, professionalism and wonderful staff.

In a word, empathetic. Gama our tour operator was outstanding in guiding us throughout our Safari.
Navigating a different culture from one that you are familiar is always a challenge. Losing your luggage in a foreign country is especially challenging.
Lion King Adventures stepped-in with phone calls, transportation and paper work to solve our problem.
The serve that we received was impeccable.
Just fantastic
From start to finish Peter our guide / driver was amazing. Very kind and informative . He was so knowledgeable in all aspects of the safari. My wife and I had the experience of a life time . Beyond 5 star , Peter was able to give us a truly magical experience-thank you Peter Would definitely recommend this company .

They are there to help your stay to be the best it can be
We booked the safari spontaneously and was on our way the next day.
The company helped us out the whole way and we trusted their decisions and it worked out perfectly.
Richard our tour guide is the most awesome person in the world.
He made our safari 10x better.
He is knowledgeable, kind, funny, smart and the perfect guide.
We couldn't wish for a better experience with Richard and the company.

Incredible local company with brilliant guides who built us a perfect personalised experience!
We have just got back from a safari with Lion King Adventures with Mwita as our guide and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough! From Rose & Pendo answering our (millions of) questions ahead of time and helping us build a personalised itinerary to the actual safari itself where we covered Tarangire, Serengeti (central & North), Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara - everything was perfect. Our trip was made by our safari guide Mwita who was incredible, so thoughtful and focused on making our trip perfect. He was so knowledgeable about Tanzania and the animals and a genius at placing the safari vehicle where the animals were going to head to (rather than just joining a crowd of cars where they were ) setting up intimate experiences with leopards, lions and elephants crossing in front of us! He was genuinely passionate about the animals and his excitement was infectious - especially when we saw the wilderbeest river crossing (twice!). As an added bonus he was also a mechanic, not only did he look after the car so well but he was able to offer advice to drivers of other companies who had flat tyres or broken down as well as being a great driver so we always felt safe and looked after. We wanted to book with a local company and they were the perfect one. We would recommend to everyone!

Awesome experience
Lion King Adventures delivered fantastic service, surpassing our expectations from planning to end.
The team helped us plan our trip, providing details and quick answers to our many questions. We made lots of changes to our itinerary before booking, and this was always doable with patience and great advice, like where was best to do certain activities to enhance our trip. We went for the mid-range accommodation and all were good food and service and very accommodating to our timings.
Our guide, Mwita, was amazing. He knew so much and his love for Tanzania and enthusiasm were infectious. He was able to predict the animals movements due to his vast experience and local knowledge being born in the Serengeti, and place us in the best location to create amazing experiences. Mwita kept us entertained and provided us with lots of information and knowledge while we waited for wilderbeest crossings or lions mating (and we got to see both twice!). And his excitement when we did see them was awesome.
He kept the vehicle in a fantastic clean condition and always stocked with cold drinks. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything went to plan. We always felt safe and secure, completely trustworthy.
