Excellent Safari!!
We did a 8 day private safari end of october 2021 in northern tanzania with Lion King Adventures. It was our first safari and first visit to Sub-Saharan Africa and also it was the first time for us to book directly online via a local travel agency and not through a well known travel agent in our home country Switzerland, so we weren‘t quite sure what to expect. However, we decided to do so and it was the best decicion ever! So here’s my evaluation:
- great communication (whatsapp and email), very quick to answer, even on weekends and evenings, very friendly, open, forthcoming and uncomplicated
-knowledge: help with creating the itinery / choosing the lodges was superb, good overall guiding, very helpful pre departure information (do’s and dont’s, what clothes to bring etc)
- airport pick up on arrival was on time (our flight was a bit early but our guide was already there so we didn‘t have to wait), very warmhearted welcome
- safari car was excellent: very comfortable seats, even on the partly very bumpy roads, easy to open rooftop, fridge with water, soft drinks, beer, possibility to lift your legs up if needed ;)
- our guide was amazing (Gilbert), very friendly and funny, very flexible, showed and explained us a lot about the nature/animals, excellent english
-feedback: we appreciated it a lot that we met James, the owner of the company before and after the safari to provide our personal feedbacks about the safari tour. He is a very good guy and really makes an effort to achieve the best customer satisfaction possible.
-little extras: two sets of Binoculars were provided for us for free upon asking in advance. There were two bottles of „welcome wine“ with our names on the etiquette in the safari car, so nice! We always had hot lunches transported in reusable pots to reduce waste (which I think was great). Whenever we came in an area crowded with tsetse flys our guide told us in advance to put anti insect repellent, and many more!
All in all there was nothing amiss and we were super happy with our safari and would definitively book with lion king adventures again!
Thank you very much!!!

Experienced, knowledgeable and friendly guide!
Lion King Advenutres was nothing short of amazing from the booking process, airport pickup, to our AMAZING tour guide Gilbert!
Our Safari expectations were exceeded in every way. The amount of animals we saw, the price, Gilbert’s knowledge, and hotel stays.
If you are reading this review please book with Lion King they did an amazing job through and through.
The only struggle for us is figuring out how to come back as soon as possible!

Best experience ever!
Amazing vacation in Tanzania. We did 5 day Safari and 3 nights in Zanzibar. Lion King adventures sets everything up for you. From the transportation to and from airport, the hotels, the food, and all the water/soda/beer you want during Safari. All of our hotels were amazing and the staff at these hotels cannot be beat. The best part of the trip was our guide, Salehe. He was so easy to talk with and so knowledgeable and passionate about his country, the animals, the plants, and the landscapes. Cannot recommend this vacation enough. You will not be disappointed.

Well organised, quick to respond and extremely helpful
I had a wonderful time in Tanzania visiting Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara NP. Lion King adventures were extremely efficient and helpful with organising my trip. Mwita, our safari guide was very friendly and great with my two children. He was very knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife. My favourite experiences on the trip were seeing 3 young lion cubs feeding from their mother. We saw 92 lions in total and have many happy memories from our trip. Other memorable moments were the three leopard sightings and seeing some lions eating zebra after a kill. I plan to come to Tanzania in the future and would definitely go again with this company and hopefully the same guide.

Davis was amazing, kind, funny, attentive, always a smile, very communicative and experienced.
Lion King Adventures was an amazing experience from booking to travel to visa to safari and back. The entire experience was beyond any of our expectations. The trip was a dream. We could not have asked for a better guide than David. PLEASE REQUEST DAVID. You will not regret it. He has such a keen eye that we saw the BIG FIVE plus an endangered rhino. He took such good care of us (single mom and 16 year old son). He and my son talked and laughed. David was so attentive. The accommodations they chose were lovely. The tented camp was a dream. It was a trip of a lifetime and it certainly met every expectation one could imagine. That is certainly because of how the people of Lion King Adventures cared for us - communicating at all times of the day, allaying my fears and anxiety, helping us get COVID tests in the Serengeti, keeping us safe and informed. Please go, choose Lion King Adventures, request David, sit back, relax and take it all in. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Amazing 7 days Camping Safari
Everything about our experience with Lion King Adventures was amazing.
Since the beginning, Pendo was very patient and super helpful with our planning.
Our guide Richard had incredible knowledge about the animals and all the parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara) and it is unbelievable the way he can spot the animals from a very long distance. We were able to see so many animals, and even the crossing in Mara river! He also suggested some alterations to our itinerary that definitely made the trip even better.
Our cook Yusuph was also amazing! He cooked delicious meals for us.
Both of them were very professional and polite, and we were super comfortable during the entire trip.
Thank you so much for this experience!

Beyond my expectations
Booking a safari is not an easy task. There are too many options and agencies, I took a chance with Lion King, and I didn’t regret it. The service was beyond my expectations, and everything was very well organized and smooth from the moment they contacted you till the end of the safari.
Kudos to Nick, who was patient, answered all our questions before booking, and helped us pick the best safari option.
Our guide Abu was terrific. He knows parks very well, where to find animals, and can tell a lot about animals, nature, culture, etc. If there were a question he didn’t have answers next morning, Abu would have it.

Best honeymoon trip ever!
We decided to go on 4-Day 3 Nights Luxury Safari wit Lion King Adventures. That was best decision because this trip was truly awesome! The communication with company was excellent. They provided us with all necessary information and they take care about everything. Also our guide David was very helpful and always answered all our questions. The accommodation in Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge, Kitela Lodge and Mount Meru Hotel was absolutely perfect, we experienced highly professional services and food was delicious.
If you want to go on Safari and enjoy it, do not hesitate and contact Lion King Adventures. Those guys know how to make your trip unforgettable!!! Thank you very much for your services, it was absolutely awesome!!!

Very good Service
After contacting several safari companies I decided to go with Lion King because all my special requests where respected, plans where changed from my side few times and they always found the best solution - the company is very flexible, which is important in covid times. And we got rewarded! Even though we didnt ask for a German speaking Guide, we got one. Musa made our Safari incredible! He could read our minds and was really concerned that everyones wishes were fullfilled. He was very patient with us, could tell anything about every animal and even more explained a lot about his beautiful country. We really enjoyed our trip to the fullest, felt in safe hands and would 100% do it again! Thanks Musa for the great experience !

Fantastic experience
My safari through Northern Tanzania with Lion King was superb. During the booking process, both Godwin and Pendo were immensely helpful in planning my trip in a way that it would be a wonderful experience. Pendo in particular even went further than that - my luggage got lost on my flight into Tanzania and she helped me get it back a couple of days later, even had it flown to the Serengeti where I was by that time. Exceptional service. I then had the immense pleasure to have Musa as my guide and it couldn't have been any better. He is extremely knowledgeable and I learned so much about animals, Tanzania and Africa in general. Musa was terrific in spotting any animal, big and small, and I was lucky enough to see everything there is to see - from all big 5, to baby lions and even a cheetah family. Musa also went all out at all times to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed. He was patient, always friendly and happy, fun to be around and great to have a chat with (even in my native German - which he speaks extremely well). Thank you Musa for this fantastic trip and experience - and thank you Lion King for all your fantastic support. All accommodations were great (I especially loved the tented camp in the Serengeti), so was the food and all staff and people we met along the way - all were incredibly friendly and helpful. I can wholeheartedly recommend both Lion King and Musa as a guide - you won't be disappointed. Hope to come back one day!
