Amazing customized Safari days
I have no words but gratitude. The kindness of the whole Lion King team made my dream trip even better than expected. Office team was amazing, understanding my needs, offering the best options and even overperforming when I was asking for changing plans. All the information provided carefully sent on the right time. On arrival, from the first moment, when we starting meeting the team in person, everything was perfect. They were all so nice, but Leonard in particullar, who was with us for two days during Safari time was caring and very carefull to make us feel safe and in love with Tanzania.
Safari was incredible, we managed to see everything in two days and we are super grateful for that.

Amazing tour, fantastic guide, beautiful Tanzania
My family and I (group of 6) had an amazing safari experience using Lion King Adventures! Our guide Mwita has provided us with such an unique memory of Tanzania that we will cherish forever. We saw a number of animals such as lions, elephants, and giraffes. We highly recommend this tour company and thank them for our beautiful time!

LK provides best care about the customers I ever seen
From the very beginning till the end of our trip, everything was perfect.
Our arrival flight was delayed for 1.5 h, but Lion King represtatives was patiently waiting in the airport.
During safari, our guide Yusuph accompanied us. He is very knowledgeable and much more experienced than guides in other safari cars. Moreover, he was ready to adjust the safari schedule based on our needs. Thanks to him, we managed to see Big 5. For sure, we can recommend him.
Besides that, I would like to say that Lion King cares about the customers and customer service overcame our expectations. Our departure flight was delayed for 2 h, the LK found it in advance and we spend this time in safari park, not in the airport.
Many thanks to our guide Yusuf and Nickson. You made our safari trip outstanding

An incredible Serengeti safari experience
I had an incredible Serengeti safari experience with Lion King Adventures. Our guide, Gama, was extremely knowledgeable and skilled at locating animals. Over the 6-day tour, he expertly navigated us through the vast landscape, identifying animal tracks and knowing exactly where to look.
Gama spotted all of the Serengeti's iconic species - we saw huge herds of wildebeest and zebra migrating, elephants bathing, hippos yawning, big cats like lions and leopards prowling and resting, hyenas cackling, giraffes grazing, and exotic birds like ostriches and flamingos dotting the plains. With every sighting, he shared interesting facts and insights that brought the animals and their behaviors to life.
I was thoroughly impressed by Gama's passion, patience waiting for sightings, and knack for positioning our vehicle for fantastic photos. The tour exceeded my expectations thanks to his expertise. I couldn't recommend Lion King Adventures and guide Gama more highly for an outstanding Serengeti experience.

Best operator for those who look for perfection in their Safari trips
Lion King Adventures and everyone involved in our trip made this experience unforgettable! This is one of the best holidays we had, unique, well planned and organized from the beginning.
Our Safari guide, Enock, was basically a hero. He made our trip unforgettable thanks to his kindness, knowledge about the wildlife and the National parks, especially Serengeti. He did not hesitate to go an extra mile for ensuring that we see all the animals we dreamed of. We not only did see all the big 5, but also other rare animals like cheetah, serval cat, crocodile, even a genet and many more. He is highly knowledgeable about the wild animals and full of passion to share that with us. He is a great driver and makes you feel always safe in the safari car. He also helped my boyfriend plan proposal to me which made this trip unforgettable

Cannot recommend Lion King highly enough
We have just finished a 9 day honeymoon safari with Lion King across four Tanzanian parks and we could not be happier. We saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, black rhinos, hippos, and more zebras, buffalo, wildebeest and flamingos than we could have imagined. We even saw a serval cat! We were lucky, but it wasn’t just luck. Our guide Mwita was the best mentor and friend we could have ever hoped for. His guiding philosophy was that nature would provide if we were patient and respected it. His deep respect for everything and everyone in the national parks and conservation areas allowed us to see everything we could have imagined and many things we couldn’t imagine. He knew exactly how and where to look for every animal, and he could see and identify them from hundreds of metres away. As a Serengeti native he knows and loves every animal so well, and he could explain everything to us. He is also an experienced mechanic and an amazing driver, and our spacious Landcruiser was like a home to us. He never gave up on finding an animal, but our safety was always his highest priority. During the rainy season flooded roads and mud can be an issue, but he cheerfully navigated every obstacle and the car never failed. He stopped to help anyone who looked like they might be stuck. The camaraderie and cooperation between all the guides of all the companies was inspiring; whenever anyone saw anything, they were all on the radio to make sure everyone would be able to see it.
All our food and accommodation was excellent, and a lot of lodges went out of the way to give us honeymoon treats. We have never slept so well on a trip after the excitement of every day. We enjoyed many picnic lunches with touches such as tablecloths and wine with personalised labels. At every step in the planning and preparation of our trip, Lion King’s office was helpful and extremely responsive (thanks Pendo!). They are a locally owned company deeply committed to Tanzania.
Tanzania is an unbelievably beautiful place, and it has everything: the “endless plain” of the Serengeti, the garden of eden that is the Ngorongoro caldera, mountains, beaches, forests, and all the animals we have long dreamed of. We cannot recommend Tanzania, Lion King Adventures and Mwita highly enough!

Amazing experience
Our 6 day honeymoon safari was an incredible experience from start to finish. During the planning period, Lion King was easy to work with and very responsive. Our guide was David and we can’t recommend him enough. We were able to see things beyond our expectations - the big 5 (and big 9), a cheetah and her cub, 4 black rhinos, tons of lions, etc, all because of him. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable of animals and their environment. He also possesses the best driving skills we’ve ever seen.
During our experience, we learned that your experience is contingent on the tour company and guide you have. We are so happy with our choice of Lion King. Also we got hot lunches everyday, which is another Lion King perk.
We highly, highly recommend David and Lion King!!
Also, 2 things we didn’t know going into our safari:
-there are souvenir shops between Arusha and the entrance to ngorongoro conservation area with local, handmade items
-there are (very clean) washrooms at the entrances and inside the game drive areas. The only exception is inside the Serengeti, but using the “bush washroom” is no problem

The travel plan is thoughtful, guide is professional and caring, just choose Huruma
The game drive is intensive and exciting. My guide Huruma has the eyesight of an eagle! He can even find the animals in long distance and then introduces them professionally. I witnessed different behaviors of big five in Tanzania. Sometimes the wild animals are just 1m to me.
The food is warm and delicious, it’s well prepared everyday. During the safari, the water is unlimited, man can also drink some soft drinks and beers that offered by Lion King Adventures.
In brief, lion king adventures is reliable and helpful. They organized the adventure very well and I have unforgettable memories. Don’t hesitate to choose Huruma.

Excellent service from start to finish.h
From start to finish we had an amazing experience. From booking via email, Caroline always provided speedy replies and answered any questions we had before making the booking. Airport pick up and transfer was seamless. We were taken around Arusha by Jefferey and given a tour of a few spots. All the hotels/camps we stayed at were to a very high standard. Our guide, Camillus, was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and welcoming. He really looked after us well. Everyone we met was so polite and went out of their way to be helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we will certainly be back again in future. Thank you for the perfect holiday.
Gama went above and beyond at everything, making us feel the perfect mix if adventure and safety!
Lion King had everything arranged perfectly! We felt everyone was waiting for us to arrive and they loved taking care of us while sharing the safari/beach experience. Absolutely a stellar experience. I felt like it was a perfect mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation.
