Once in a lifetime trip
We had an exception experience with lion king safari from start to finish. The communication was excellent with a clear itinerary with plenty of information.
Our trip began when Mwita our guide collected us from our hotel. He was a superb guide and companion throughout our safari. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the animals and local communities. Mwita was proficient at finding animals in the Serengeti and somehow he managed to spot a black rhino from nearly a kilometer away!
The accomodation, especially nyota camp was superb. We felt very comfortable all along the way with all possible amenities.
The truck was well equipped and comfortable and I appreciated the water and soft drinks kept cool in the fridge.

A Safari to Remember Thanks to Murshid and Lion King Adventures
Our safari experience was truly unforgettable, thanks to our guide, Murshid. He was punctual, communicative, and incredibly enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge throughout the trip. He even taught us some basic Swahili greetings, which added a wonderful cultural touch to our experience.
Murshid is also a passionate bird enthusiast and frequently spotted birds that we would have otherwise missed, sharing interesting facts about each one. He was exceptionally patient, always giving us plenty of time to take photos without ever making us feel rushed. Whenever he heard about animal sightings over the radio, he would go the extra mile to help us find them. Thanks to his dedication and expertise, we were able to see every animal on our wishlist—and many more. He also ensured that our vehicle was clean and comfortable every single day.
Booking with Lion King Adventures was seamless from start to finish. Maria and Nickson were incredibly helpful in planning our trip and were always prompt in responding to emails and questions. The entire process, from airport pickup to final drop-off, was smooth and stress-free.
The accommodations exceeded our expectations. Ngorongoro Rim Lodge was particularly outstanding, offering breathtaking views and exceptional hospitality. We also thoroughly enjoyed our stays at Arusha Planet Lodge, Eileen’s Trees Inn, and Embalakai Serengeti Camp. Each property provided excellent service, delicious food, and warm hospitality that made our journey even more special. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures and especially Murshid to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a memorable experience made this trip one we will cherish forever.

Best experience we've ever had
We loved the Lion King safari; it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. We went for our honeymoon and enjoyed everything.
A huge thank you to Davidi, our Spanish-speaking guide, for making our trip so special every day. He was so helpful, we saw so many animals, including the Big Five, and we were thrilled. We highly recommend it!
Greetings, Javiera and Nicolas from Chile.

Accomodating
The accomodations were wonderful. What made the experience was our guide, Gilbert. He was amazing, extremely knowledgeable and very determined to make sure we saw as much as possible. He was extremely patient with all of our many questions. It is obvious that Gilbert is passionate about the wildlife and the work he is doing. We learned so much from Gilbert, it truly made our experience unsurpassable. I cant imagine a better guide

Great staff and guide made our safari easy amd unforgettable!
Booking and planning were easy via zoom calls. The staff (especially our guide Mwita) were incredibly helpful! The tour went just as promised, and we experienced everything we had expected. Mwita drove us throughout the major attractions of Tanzania with humor and serious expertise about animals we were seeing and the culture and geography there.
The lodges are AMAZING, with several sightings of zebras, elephants, lions , and more while eating on the patios and sitting on oir private porches.
It was a truly magical experience! Thank you to Lion King Safaris!

Mwita (Man of the Serengeti) could spot a needle in a haystack
The safari visited popular safari destinations of north Tanzania, including Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and of course Serengeti National Park. Every day brought a new adventure and Mwita expertly guided us to everything we asked for and more.

Professional and reliable about creating unforgettable safari experiences
Our safari with Lion King Adventures exceeded expectations. From the very beginning, communication was excellent every question was answered promptly, and the entire trip was organized seamlessly. We always felt well-informed and taken care of.
The safari was incredible. Our guide Mwita was knowledgeable, friendly, and had an amazing ability to spot wildlife while sharing information about the animals, landscapes, and local culture. We were fortunate to see an incredible variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, and many other animals.
The accommodations were comfortable, the meals were excellent, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced between adventure and relaxation. We always felt safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
What truly stood out was everyone’s professionalism and dedication to ensuring we had the best possible experience. The service provided was exceptional, and the safari offered outstanding value.
I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. It was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we would not hesitate to book with them again.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Friendly
I did a lot of research before choosing Lion King. From the start they were very flexible, honest and professional.
Once we booked Rose and Florida walked me through everything.
Peter, a sweetie, picked us up from the airport a few days before our safari.
Good Luck, our guide on our safari, was incredible. His knowledge of all flora , fauna, and animals is beyond words. He took care of everything. Since we keep kosher and the Lion King office wasn't sure what the accommodations could provide we brought basic food. The amazing thing was Good Luck understand it all. Plus all the accommodations and chefs were all aware so we ate incredibly well with no problem.
Our 5 day safari was a dream come true for my husband and I. It could not of been any better!
