Unbelievably great trip!
I have travelled all over the world but this was my first trip to Africa. Having wanted to go on a safari since I was a teenager, this was my dream vacation. After much due diligence and some really good correspondence with Lion King, I selected to go with them. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. MY TRIP WAS AMAZING, STUPENDOUS, and AWE INSPIRING. Needless to say, I loved it. If I could give Lion King additional stars (say, 8 out of 5), I would. They did an amazing job. From handling a customized trip with numerous changes (including one right before I left) with aplomb, to planning and executing a near-flawless trip despite it being rather complicated (and long), to providing not one but two outstanding guides, the quality of Lion King's work shined.
Bookending the first and last day of my trip was Enock, a terrific person and extremely knowledgeable guide who I believe speaks four languages. For most of my trip, my guide was Richard, also a terrific person with a passion for both mammals and birds. His knowledge proved very useful while we were on safari. I became friends with both of them.
The new Nyota Luxury Camp (owned by Lion King's parent company) in the Serengeti was amazing. The tents, smiling and excellent service, food, and even the pit fire were all outstanding. I strongly recommend this option.
I have been all over the world and set a high bar of expectations and excellence. Lion King to its credit, easily surpassed it.
Based on my experience, I strongly recommend this company. They did great.

Lifetime experience
We done the safari tour in Taranguire, Serengueti (2 days), Ngorongoro and Lake Mayara and it was a wonderful experience. The landscape, the animals, the great and polite local people we met, everything was awesome. We are very thankful to our guide Salehe, who made our days much better with patience to search for the better spots, with kindness and a great spirit. Communication in english wasn't a problem. Another highlight was the Serengueti hotel, Nyota Luxury Tented Camp, a real gem inside The wild. I'm really thankful for finding this great agency and for having such an lifetime experience like this.

Great Experience with Gelbert in Serengeti
I and my friends just came back from serengeti, and we are very grateful to our guide and driver Gelbert. He is a staff member of lionking travel company, and he provided us with seven days of quality service. Gelbert is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide, he can take us to see various animals, and explain to us their characteristics and habits. He can also accurately find the location and time of animal activity in the grassland without signs. Gelbert is also a very considerate and friendly person, he will arrange the itinerary according to our needs and preferences. He will stop the car when we want to take pictures, let us enjoy and record the beautiful scenery. He will also chat with us, joke with us, make us feel relaxed and happy. Gelbert is not only an excellent guide and driver, but also a person who loves nature and animals. He told us that he studied animals and environment, so he has a lot of feelings for serengeti, he hopes to protect this beautiful land and the creatures living on it. He also taught us how to respect nature and animals, not to disturb their life and environment.
I highly recommend Gelbert to anyone who wants to travel to serengeti, he will give you an unforgettable experience and memory. If you want to book Gelbert as your guide and driver, you can contact lionking travel company, they will help you arrange everything. Trust me, you won't regret choosing Gelbert as your guide in serengeti.

Wow! Beyond our wildest expectations!
Our entire experience with Lion King Adventures exceeded our expectations, from the time of our first inquiry, to their patience in answering all of our questions, and customizing our itinerary to meet our desires and budget. Every step was well coordinated and executed. Our guide, Gama, made us feel welcome and comfortable from the start and quickly felt like family. He was able to make every day of our adventure better than the day before! His ability to spot animals and maneuver the vehicle meant we saw every animal on our wish list up close and personal… plus many more! He taught us about the animals and their environment, as well as about Tanzania and the culture. Never did we imagine setting and experiencing so much in just 6 days! We highly recommend by Lion King Adventures and would definitely use them again! Ask for Gama for the best guide ever!

Amazing!!!
From the very beginning this experience was a dream! Richard and Mwita were so gracious and knowledgeable. They became like family and I was truly sad for it to be over. They exceeded every expectation and I saw more animals than I ever could have imagined. We learned so many facts about each animal and bird we saw. The accommodations were also incredible. I truly don’t think the pictures do it justice; they are stunning! I’m already planning another trip with Lion King and will recommend them to everyone I talk to. If I could leave more than five stars I would.

UNREAL/AMAZING experience
Just finished a 3 day safari through Tarangire National park, Ngorogoro Crater, and Lake Manyara with Lion King Adventures and it was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Our guides Richard and Miwata were absolutely amazing. They were so knowledgeable when it came to the birds, trees, grass, people, animals, etc etc the list goes on a on! We saw 4/5 of the big 5! When you book with Lion King Adventures, request them!! The safari car was clean and well kept and always stocked with what we needed and was very comfortable. I could not recommend Lion King adventures enough! Our group will return to Africa again and we will be requesting them as our guides!!

Mwita and Richard are the BEST!!!
I cannot recommend Lion King Adventures enough. Everything exceeded our group of 8’s expectations. From the moment they picked us up from the airport until the airport drop off on the last day was seriously top notch customer service. The lunch provided on Safari was SO good (I looked around at other lunches while at the picnic sites and LKA’s lunch beat everyone else’s by far).
Our tour guides Richard and Mwita are walking encyclopedias that took our experience over the top. The friendliest, most knowledgeable guys, we couldn’t have asked for better guides with us. They had an answer for every question we asked, were very patient with our rowdy group, and made sure we saw everything we wanted to see. Asante sana Richard, Mwita, and Lion King Adventures for the most unforgettable experience that made us never want to leave. We will miss you!!!
