Once in a lifetime
Reviewed 2 days ago via mobile
We had a wonderful experience with lion king from inquiry, payment, and all the way through the safari. The accommodations were great and each location was able to provide vegetarian meals too. Our trip was over the Christmas holiday and each location made he holiday special.
The safari itself was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide Salehe was very knowledgeable regarding the animals and each location we went to. It was clear he knew the parks inside and out. Each day we were in disbelief with the animals he found (big 5, giraffe, cheetah, leopards, and so many cubs). Our group of four had a private vehicle and Salehe was with us the whole trip.
Highly recommend lion king - exceeded our expectations

Great safari experience!
Despite COVID, we were able to travel from Sydney to Tanzania and do a safari with Lion King Adventures in December 2021. Nick and Pendo helped us put together our customised 6 day itinerary covering the Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara - they were highly responsive and made the process seamless. They have a flexible COVID cancellation policy. Our guide, Peter, is a passionate, knowledgeable and highly experienced guide. We were able to see the big 5, the elusive serval cat, and Peter made it his mission to help us spot many baby animals. We were also pleased with the food on the tour - lunches in particular were hot lunches and not boxed food. Would recommend choosing Lion King.

Fantastic customised Safari!
My sister and I planned on a two week vacation in Zanzibar and wanted to go on a independent safari during our stay. We researched many Safari companies on line, and we are incredibly satisfied that we chose Lion King Adventures. From our first contact with Pendo, we knew we had made the right choice. She worked with us to customise our Safari experience. We were able to change the number of nights that suited to our flighs to and from Arusha, and change some of the accommodations. In short we were able to do the five day safari in four days without missing out on anything and it felt more like a private luxury experience than a mid range Safari for a great price. We were picked up from the Arusha airport in the morning by our fantastic guide Immanuel and set off to our first destination Tarangire Park and our wonderful adventure began. During these four days we traveled more than a thousand kilometres, learned so much and were able to see some of the most breathtaking and always changing scenery and of course all the animals at times from very up close. Our guide, Immanuel took great care of us, speaks good english, is an excellent driver and likes being a Safari guide. He is not only knowledgeable about these environments, but still curious about them himself. He is welcoming to questions and always wanting to know more and taking the time to learn more about this amazing flora and fauna that surrounds one in this beautiful part of Africa. I feel that this wasn't just a safari to see the important animals, but also a botanist dream and a super bird watching experience. We definitely had a trip and experience of a lifetime that I will cherish always. Thank you Lion King Adventures and definitely hope to reconnect in the future!!!
Amazing
We did our safari with Lion King Adventures.
Preparing the safari :
We wanted to do a 3 day safari. We read many very good reviews online and decided to contact them. We wanted a private safari and a nice accommodation.
First contact was on WhatsApp. I told them what we wanted and they gave me suggestions about the places to visit and about the accommodations.
I was very happy with the program but I preferred to change the accommodation with another one. They were very flexible and I did not feel anything was not possible. The changes I asked for looked (from my perspective of tourist) more expensive than the initial suggestions. However, I was told that my choices were less expensive and they sent me an updated offer. I did appreciate the honesty and felt directly very much in a trust relationship with them. Pone was the person who helped me in the process and who made it very smooth.
D-Day :
We arrived at arusha Airport and were welcomed directly by our guide Immanuel.
Program:
Day 1 : Tarangire national Park
Day 2 : Ngorongogo crater
Day 3 : Manyara
Accommodation: Manyara’s Secret
Our guide Immanuel :
If we were hoping to get a nice guide before going, we never expected to have this level of service.
Excellent driver and true passionate of the wildlife, he shared with us everything he knew about the different species we saw, and he knows a LOT. He did everything he possibly could to show us the different animals.
He is very knowledgeable and explained many things to us, from the small birds to the big cats, he went into a great level of details about the specifics each one of them.
I went with my girlfriend and we spent 3 days with him. We never felt at any point that we would have preferred to be alone. He was here but giving us privacy as well.
We don't consider him as just our guide anymore, we really hope we can come back and go on another adventure with the man of 1000 skills, Immanuel !
Thank you Lion King Adventures for this amazing trip, and a special thanks to our new friend Immanuel !!

Amazing Safari Tanzania
We had a great safari experience with Lion King Adventures in our visit in Tanzania.
Perfect organization and professionalism from company & staff.
Very nice accommodations with friendly staff and serious sense of safety.
Our guide ‘Good luck’ made our trip very unique with his general knowledge and make us feel like we are in safari with a family member.
James was there for anything we needed and helps us a lot to organize our trip with his helpful tips.
We totally recommend this safari company for Tanzania’s safari experience.
Thank you ones again.

The perfect safari guide
If I had the possibility then I would give Lion King Adventures more than 5 stars.
And if some day returning to wonderful Tanzania, then I would definitely choose Lion King Adventures as our safari guide again.
It might seem expensive at first but after the safari one will see that you get full value for your money from this super professional company, which put all effort into bringing top service down to every little detail.
The response to our first enquiry was fast, precise and honest thanks to Nick. He was very patient with us during our planning and shared many different options to find the best solution for my family.
Our booking was handed over to Pendo after confirmation. She handled all the practical details and information level was great. Even a sudden change to the booking from our side did not cause any problems. Payment went smooth and I felt very safe all the way.
The safari itself was great thanks to Salehe and his very robust and always clean Jeep - Mufasa.
Game drive is like fishing Salehe told us. You might not catch anything, but with Salehe is was like throwing dynamit in a pond. All the fish came to the surface. I have never seen so many different animals in their natural environment. Either together in large numbers so that it would take our breath away, or so close to us that it felt like we could touch them. Salehe always had a great sense to find the best spots for us.
This together with he’s kindness and humor, doing everything possible to make us comfortable, sharing his wide knowledge about animals and plants and finally answering all our crazy questions, made our safari experience one that we will remember the rest of our life.
Thank you so much.

Words cannot describe!
Jambo Jambo (Hello Hello)
Where do we start?…
As our wonderful guide, Salehe, told us; “Lion King Safari tries to make everything perfect, from the office to the safari”, and they indeed succeeded. Let’s start from the beginning, at the Kilimanjaro Airport we where met with the biggest smile, you can ever imagine. The journey started.
Salehe (our guide) was very fast at learning our names, and the personal connection between us and him was already established. We started our journey at the Tarangire, and 5 Minutes in we where already blown away, wildlife everywhere. The Day was amazing and Salahe had this incredible Ability to always spot the Animals and the best spot to park the Car, so that we had the best view of the Animals and was right next to the action. After Tarangire, the Journey continued to 2 Days in Serengeti and 1 Day in Ngorongoro Crater. Safari was like a Gift that kept on giving. After numerous wonderful experiences, I strongly recommend Lion King Adventures. Lion King Adventures and Salehe made the Journey one of the best moments in my life. Salehe knew the Answer to almost every one of our crazy Questions, and if he didn’t he was very humble and honest, and told us he would research it, and he did:) The honesty is especially a Trait the our family value very high, so that was very great.
After all the kind words I still feel like I haven’t told 1% of the wonderful Experience, you really need to experience it by yourself. If only 6 stars was available, Lion King Adventures and Salehe would definitely receive that!
Kind regards from a very grateful Victor
