STOP RIGHT HERE - PERFECT EXPERIENCE
STOP RIGHT HERE. Lion King Adventures was amazing. We were worried because we couldn't tell one supplier from another, and Lion King was affordable, making us somewhat suspicious. We were reassured as soon as we started working with them. They were very prompt with replies, and seemed to know the terrain very well. When I emailed them, I usually got a response back within hours, if not minutes. Pendo was super helpful. The owners were available by phone whenever needed. They were accurate and precise. Their prices were great compared to what the resort wanted to charge for game drives. On the trip, everything went extremely well. They were incredibly well organized. We did 4 days of Safari in Serengeti and Manyara parks, and another four day hike from Empakai Crater to Ol Donyo Langai, with a chef, a Masai guide, and two people to help transport the supplies by donkey. We had asked for something unique with a multi-day trek, and they came through. Everything went super smoothly. We felt safe. They were trustworthy.
Our guide, Ozzie was perfect- way more than we could have imagined. He was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. More than this, he was organized, reliable, and extremely hard working. We thought we'd only be able to do a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the afternoon of game driving, like hotels had offered. No way. We were out by 8 am and did 9 to 10 hour game drives, at his offering! He was so good at spotting the animals, and we learned so much about each of them. He was very familiar with the parks, and very persistent at finding wildlife. We had a great time with picnic lunches in the Serengeti plains. We always had cold beverages at the ready. The vehicle was in great condition. We could not have been happier. Highly recommend asking for Ozzie.
Everything went according to plan for our 4 day hike. Yusuph was a great chef- always paying attention to our specific (vegan) dietary needs, very organized, and had everything under control, even when we got washed out by the rain one day. His staff were also very pleasant and hard working, doing their best to corral the donkeys to cooperate. Our guide, Alexi, was very good. He knew all the locals in the Masai villages we passed. The experience was way more authentic compared to villages you go through at tourist stops. The tents and equipment (including our own fresh full sized pillows) were in fine condition.
All in all, we had an adventure of a lifetime and would definitely recommend Lion King Adventures.

The trip of a lifetime that I will never forget
Lion King Adventures did an amazing job planning our 3 days safari. Everything was perfect! The communication with Lion King Adventures was great! They always replay very fast at emails and messeges (via WhatsUp). Our expectations were more than met. David, our guide was amazing. He was very helpful and reliable. He answered all our questions and gave us a lot of interesting information. I cannot think of anything that could have been done differently to improve the experience.
Thank you for the wonderful safari days in Tanzania!

One of the most memorable and exciting experiences I had in my entire life.
Lion King Adventures did an amazing job planning our 3 days safari. Everything was perfect! The accommodation was good value for the money we paid, the food was really good (specially the dinner we had at Illboro in Arusha) and our guide (Immanuel Chamboa) was incredible! He went above and beyond to make sure our experience is unforgettable. He gave us a lot of information about different animals and he constantly checked with us that we are happy with the safari schedule.
The communication with Lion King Adventures was great! They always replay very fast at emails and their english is irreproachable. I really enjoyed the fact that they customised the safari to meet all our requirements. Flexibility is always nice, especially in these hard times with the pandemic.
At the end of the safari, the founders of the company came to meet us and asked us about our experience and feedback in order to improve their services. There was not much to say since everything was perfect, but I find it very lovely that they took the time to come and meet with us when our adventure was over.

We would book a safari with Lion King Adventures again anytime.
Thanks to the possibility of communicating via WhatsApp as well, we very quickly received a Safari offer adapted to our wishes. After we transferred the money, there were changes in the program, because our booking was very short term and some accommodations were no longer available. Fortunately, we got higher quality lodges for the same price.
After we were picked up at the airport by Lion King Adventures, we did not have to worry about anything for 11 days until our departure.
Our expectations were more than met. Mussa, our guide, was not only very helpful, reliable and charming, but also a walking encyclopedia who could answer all questions in detail in our native language German. In addition, he was a very good scout and driver, so we were able to experience new highlights every day. We can't imagine a better companion and care.
Thank you for the wonderful safari days in Tanzania!

Great experience!! A must (at least) once in a lifetime
Sincerely, everything was perfect: from the booking and admin stuff (managed very efficiently by Pendu) to the Safari experience (amazing accomodations in a luxury pack and great selection of parks to see different animals and landscapes) and, the most important, our guide Muita, who did his best to make sure that we could see all types of animals and answered all our questions showing a very good knowledge of the area and its animals. He was really friendly and we had a great time together. We have also met other guides and customers travelling with the same agency and I am sure that our is not an isolated case. Totally recommended to ensure a great experience in an amazing place.

Incredible
We had an amazing experience with Lion King. They were very helpful from beginning to end. We saw the big 5 and so much more. Majestic scenery.
Pend was helpful in organizing our covid test but we will try to avoid emirates and Dubai airport in the future ( who demanded the test just for transit).
I would highly recommend Lion King.

A perfect, seamless trip of a lifetime
I just returned from a 15 day/14 night luxury Tanzanian safari and zanzibar holiday and I cannot think of anything that could have been done differently to improve the experience. From my initial (and always prompt) emails with Pendo to the supremely knowledgeable Gilbert (our driver and tour guide who clearly has such a love/passion of showing us his beautiful country) to the luxurious accommodations to the timely airport and hotel transfers, the entire trip went smoothly without any issues. I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures without any reservations. I cannot thank them enough for the trip of a lifetime that I will never forget!

A perfect, seamless experience
We hired lion king adventures for our 15 day/14 night luxury safari and Zanzibar holiday and from my initial (and always prompt) emails with Pendo to our safari adventures with the supremely knowledgeable Gilbert to the superlative accommodations to the timely airport and hotel transfers, the entire trip went off without any hiccups. I cannot think of anything that could have been done better or differently. I would highly recommend them without any reservations and plan to use them again in the future! FYI, I thought all of the accommodations were special but if you can afford the splurge make sure to include Gibbs Farm as an accommodation on your safari, it is truly magical.

My smile never left my face
We chose the luxury safari package, at first I thought it might be unnecessary. I found out how wrong I was when I arrived to my best accommodation - the service, rooms and hospitality was unlike anything I’ve seen before. Best experience of my life and the 3 others in my group agree. Definitely recommend to everyone

The luxury safari with Lion King was a great experience! Everything went perfectly.
The tour was exactly what was expected with the agency. Our guide, Halifa, was very nice and had a lot of knowledge about the animals. He was great to find the predators in the trees. Finally, the selected lodges were so beautiful! We did 4 national parks in 8 days and we could have stayed longer!
