Excellent Safari Experience
Excellent experience with Lion King Adventures from the moment we requested a quote to the airport drop off. Gilbert was our guide and was amazing at spotting animals and getting us to the perfect spot to view them and take pictures. His knowledge of all of the animals was mind blowing. Our accommodations were all excellent. Thank you Gilbert and Lion King adventures for an awesome trip!

Experienced and very professional. Top service for Tanzania safari
Thanks a lot to Lion King for the impeccable organisation, and especially thanks to our guide Oswald (Ozzy). True safari veteran, he was able to turn our safari into the experience of a lifetime. Very professional, knowledgeable and accommodating, he went above and beyond to ensure we always felt comfortable and safe. Very important, he can also spot wild animals better than a cheetah! Also hotels, private jeep, lunch boxes were top notch. Nothing is left to chance with Lion King except for how many animals you get to see, which is a safe bet in Tanzania.

This tour was perfect and exceeded all of our biggest hopes!
We had the best experience with Lion King Adventures. Our guide, Fred, truly showed us everything there was to see. We felt like we were experts by the end of our trip! We were taken care of so well. We adored every place of lodging we stayed at and the food was unmatched. Lion King Adventures took care of every ride we needed and communicated everything with us to the last detail. We honestly felt like we got a crazy deal for the adventure we had. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you to Rose, Caroline, and Fred at Lion King Adventures, and the folks at Arusha Planet Lodge, Eileen's Trees Inn, Embalakai Camp, Maru Maru Hotel, Nungwi Dreams, and the Residence for the impeccable service.

Amazing Safari
Macha - Our Favourite Safari Guide!
Macha did everything to fulfill the dream of the Big 5, even if that meant that we had to drive a piece of the route back.

Incredible experience with Lion King Adventures
Back in October, my girlfriend and I decided to visit Tanzania to enjoy its nature and national parks. After a thorough research, we reached out to more than 12 operators, among which Lion King Adventures.
No surprise, Lion King’s reaction was kind, rapid, relevant and the initial discussions to form a first offer was of great quality. I may say that the level of confidence we felt with Caroline was key to decide to proceed with them.
After an active email exchange, we finally booked a personalised/ private 10-day trip at the North of the country, including: 2 days at the foothills of Kilimanjaro for hiking and tribe visits (Manadara Hut, Materuni Waterfalls), 5 days for safari (Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro) and 2 more for other cultural activities (biking at the shore of lake Manyara and cultural visit in Arusha).
To plan the operational part of the trip, a designated agent took over our dossier and planned all the details (bookings, logistics etc.), sharing with us advice and supporting us on preparing the trip from our side. Rose was extremely helpful and reactive, and she kept supporting us even during the trip when needed.
Regarding the actual trip, we had the luck to have been assigned with Fred, an experienced safari guide, exceptional professional and extremely trustworthy and kind human. Fred was always on time, always available for us, with great wildlife knowledge and a true gift on animal spotting during safari. Fred is a legend!
He picked us from the airport with one of the company’s Toyota Land Cruiser’s that would be our moving home for the next 10 days. Everything was perfectly clean and ready for us. The first interactions were key to start getting to know each other and build the necessary confidence. It was our first time in Africa for both of us so everything felt new as we were exploring the unknown.
During the whole trip, Fred was our point of reference assuring that everything goes smoothly. Regarding specific activities like hiking at the foothills of
Kilimanjaro, mountain biking at Mtu wa Mbu or walking safari in the Manyara national park, local guides would join us for a few hours. Every guide that contributed to our trip was of great quality.
Throughout the journey the food was great as Fred would provide us food cooked from the chefs of the lodges we would spend the night at. These little touches are not always provided by safari operators.
To conclude, we had an excellent time with Lion King throughout the trip, including pre-booking and planning, and would strongly recommend them to anyone that wants to explore the natural wonders and the amazing people of Tanzania!

An experience to remember!
This has been an experience. And this was possible because of Lion King adventures and our friend and guide Enock. Enock is the man! He went above and beyond to make our trip special. All the accommodations we stayed in were top notch and I can't recommend them enough. Rose helped with us with the booking and the process was seamless. Coming to the wildlife experience, I couldn't have asked for more. I feel I'm lucky because I got a chance to see some of the craziest things Serengeti could offer. Watching the lions and cheetah hunt their prey was surreal. Our guide Enock was great at spotting wildlife. If you're looking for a safari operator in Tanzania, don't hesitate to book with Lion King Adventures.

Fantastic experience! Highly recommended!
Lion King rocks! We are a family of 5 that went on a 9 day/8 nights (7 full days in the parks) mid-range safari with Lion King Adventures in late December 2022. We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara and had an amazing time! We booked directly with Lion King and the communication was quick and efficient, especially Pendo in the office is doing a fantastic job! Payment was bank transfer via Wise which worked smoothly. Lion King also arranged accommodation before and after the safari. Our guide/driver Gala was amazing- super calm and relaxed, friendly, experienced, knowledgeable, a great spotter and skilled off-road driver (driving in the mud in Ndutu was seriously challenging - many cars got stuck, but not ours). Make sure to stay at Embalakai Camp in Serengeti, best food on the trip! In summary, highly recommended!

Gilbert was kind, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful!
Tanzania is an expensive country to travel to but Lion King helped make it as affordable as possible. Our guide and driver Gilbert was the best! He made our visit here memorable and special.
