Lion King Adventures Rocks !!
Right from answering all our inquisitive questions to get the bookings done with all our requests and the picking us from Kilimanjaro airport and taking us on Northern Circuit tour from Tarangire, to Serengeti to Ngorongoro to Lake Manyara..everything was amazingly arranged by Ms. Kabwe in office and owner James. Most important was our guide..Shafino Dominick.. what an experienced , knowledgeable, detail oriented and humble person. He knows every inch of all the locations with his 20+ years of experience and knows where to find all the big animals. He has an eagle eye. We saw all big 9 !! Shafino made our tour a lifetime memory.

Trip of a lifetime
Gelasius was the best tour guide we have ever had. He was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from him about Tanzania and the animals. He kept track of the various animals and knew exactly where to go to find them. He was very patient and accommodating, and he helped us get every photo and video we could we want. We saw more animals and natural beauty than we imagined. Lion King was amazing and gave us very helpful information and guidance. The rooms and the food was great every day. Adventure of a lifetime that we will remember forever.

Tour itself was great. However booking staff were not particularly attentive
We joined the regular safari stuff with kilimanjaro day hike. The safari process was great for the most part but occasionally the guide would start driving as we were standing on top of the seat for photos- that wasn’t a particularly nice way to get us to hurry up. Other than this I do not have any major issues with the guided safari. The booking staff however really seem to have difficulty in paying attention to our request, with us reiterating twice that we would require a twin room but we were given double bed for some parts of our itinerary. They compensated us for one meal of dinner for that mistake. Overall it’s a decent experience but I wouldn’t call it phenomenal

You are only going once, so go with the best!
From start to finish this was an amazing trip. Our driver Leonard was amazing. His knowledge of the parks allowed us to see the animals in action. The hotels we visited were superb and the food was delicious.
We will be recommending Lion King safaris to everyone!
Thanks Lion King

professional and fantastic operator more than image
When I booked the tour on website, Lion King replied prompt and optional.
What the accommodations Lion King booked are more than expectation! If let me book, I cannot find such fantastic acommodations like Nyota luxurious camp!
What's the most important, the guide Huruma from Lion King is professional, passionate and responsible, he knows everything about Tanzania and Safari, be happy to share. And Huruma is a kind guide, when we saw other cars met problems on the way, he tried to help them, even though they are from other companies.
Will highly recommend Lion King and Huruma to everyone who will come to Safari! I would visit again!

Lion king took care of everything and everything was 5 star. Our guide Pumba was more then 5 stars.
We did a 5 day luxury safari. Lion king did an excellent job of putting together an itinerary. Went back and forth a few times to get exactly what we wanted. They were very helpful. The whole trip was 5 star. Everything was taken care of from the time they picked us up from airport until we left. Our guide Pumba was the best. More then 5 stars. He was with us for 6 days and was amazing. He made the trip!! Thanks for a wonderful time.
Absolutely amazing experience!
Just finished our 4-day honeymoon tour with 1 day in Tarangire National Park, 2 days in the Serengeti, and 1 day in the Ngorongoro Crater and it exceeded expectations! From start to finish, Lion King was super communicative and easy to work with - customizing our itinerary to cover exactly what we wanted. Our guide, Shafino, was absolutely incredible. He was knowledgeable about all the different types of wildlife (animals, reptiles, birds, plants, etc.) that we encountered. Shafino’s experience is unparalleled and we knew we were in good, safe hands during our entire trip. To really put the icing on the cake, Shafino went above and beyond to ensure we saw the “Big Nine” and not only that, but to make sure each citing was incredibly memorable. Throughout the safari, Shafino made sure to position us with incredible views of the animals, to suggest camera angles, and to make sure we were “happy happy” before moving on to the next part of the tour. You know you’re in good hands when other guides are asking your tour guide for advice/questions about the wildlife. There is no way our trip would have been the same without Shafino being our guide!

Fantastic experience from start to finish
Lion King Adventures are excellent. Edward and Kabwe organized a fantastic itinerary starting with safari expedition to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara followed by a week in Zanzibar. Shafino was an AMAZING guide - in less than 3 days we saw the entire Big 9 (yes, there are 9 not 5!) with multiple close range views of lions, leopards and cheetahs. Bonus points for spotting multiple rhino, lions in trees and a group of 5+ hyena cubs. Shafino’s 25+ years of experience were evident in his ability to convey endless knowledge about the animals, terrain, people and region. Perhaps more importantly, he is highly professional, thoughtful and fun - you will be in good hands with Shafino. Highly recommend Lion King Adventure!

Professional, meticulous and caring
An unforgettable, incredible trip with Lion King. Very professional and kind service is provided from the beginning of the inquiry, to the final docking of the itinerary, till the beginning of the journey and the end. We were provided with plenty of drinks, including beer and wine, and plenty of paper towels and wipes during Safari. Our guide and driver Richie was very professional and we collected the big 5 on our first day at Tarangire NP. We saw so many memorable moments and received amazing photos during the whole Safari. The whole trip is particularly much time on the road, almost all massage road. The Lion King Safari car was well maintained, we had no trouble breaking down on the way, and our guide Richie delivered us safely and smoothly with excellent driving skills. He will also provide professional explanation on the way to find the animal, and answer all questions. I will definitely recommend it to my friends!
