By far Lion King Adventures was the easiest, fastest, and most professional company to book with.
My wife and I decided to go on a safari for our honeymoon. It was our first big trip together so we wanted it to be perfect. We reached out to multiple safari companies but felt that Lion King Adventures was the only company that gave us everything we needed to plan our perfect trip. Everyone we worked with was very friendly, professional, and they communicated very fast given the time zone differences. We went on a private safari trip that completely matched the itinerary they gave us, but also allowed us to personalize it as well. Our safari guide and driver Gilbert, was extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly and willing to tailor each day specifically to what animals we wanted to try and see. We were able to see the Big 5 and so much more. I do not think we would have enjoyed our safari nearly as much as we did had we booked with another company. Lion King Adventures gave us a trip that made our dreams come true.

Beautiful 3 day safari (Serengeti / Ngorongoro)
We went with the family for 3 days with Lion Ling Adventures (Serengeti / Ngorongoro) and enjoyed all the services including the excellent guide and driver Sifael, speaking French perfectly, with a great knowledge of all the varied fauna of the parks, and accustomed to the favorite places of lions, leopards, cheetahs, among others, which we have seen in numbers. We especially enjoyed the camp lodge (Serengeti Heritage camp) offered.
After 3 days, Sifael escorted us back to Kilimanjaro airport to catch our flight home.
Top performance for a reasonable budget.

Trip of a lifetime
My parents and I took a 5 day safari through Tarangire, Ngorogoro Crater, Serengeti and Lake Manyara. Had a wonderful time that surpassed all expectations. We were very satisfied with all parts of our trip including the itinerary, lodgings, communications, etc.

Great experience
We spent four days in Tanzania, starting in Lake Manyara Park, through Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti and finishing in Tarangire Park. Each of them is unique and offers different experiences. From our point of view Ngorongoro Crater is the best one. Amazing views and many herds of wildebeests, zebras and antelopes. For those considering only three days safari, Lake Manyara could be omitted however it is also nice place.
The company crew is very patient and client oriented. Our special appreciation goes to Pendo and Anna for answering hundreds of our questions in kindly and professional manner.
Our guide and companion was Peter. He is - half-joking, half-serious - a local celebrity:-) everyone knows him, other guides, park rangers and police officers, too. It should be also noted that he was very open for our suggestions and wishes.
Last but not least, accommodation and meals. Both places, Serengeti Heritage Tented Camp and Endoro Lodge were great. Comfortable rooms and beds and very tasty food.

A perfect experience for me and my family. This is an exceptional company to travel with!
We really had a perfect experience from beginning to end. Lion King was very helpful as we decided on the itinerary and timing. They selected great accommodations and the trip cost was quite reasonable, especially for a private safari. The airport transfers couldn't have been easier. Our vehicle was great, although we learned that EVERY operator uses the same type of vehicle (a modified Toyota LandCruiser). The most important aspect of the trip was the quality of the driver/guide. Ours was Oswald and he was exceptional - friendly, accommodating, and highly knowledgeable of the geography and animals. He was very skilled at spotting animals, we saw tons! Since we were traveling with a child, I particularly noticed that he was a very calm, patient and safe driver. From beginning to end Oswald was laser focused on giving us the best possible experience, he was a real pro. We chose Lion King because of their amazing reviews, and I am now very pleased to be writing one myself.

Wonderful and relaxing experience with Lion King Adventures
We decided to book our safari withouth the support of a travel agency. WIth Lion King Adventures it has been very easy to do so given their effectivenes in providing us information and options on how to organize our safari and given they have always been in touch with us before the safari. Once in Tanzania, and given one of our luggages was lost by Ethiopian Airlines, Lion King Adventures staff has been very supportve to have the luggage back. They have gone to take it in Arusha while we were in Serengeti and brought it to us. Concerning the Safari itself, our guide (Saleh) and our chef (Iousuf) have been really great in taking care of us thus ensuring we had wonderful experience.
I really recomend Lion King Adventures to all those who whish to do a safari.

Experience with Lion King Adventures
We had to finalize everything in less than one week, and the team of Anna Smith and Wilbard made sure that we were able to pull this off. Both Anna and Wilbard were available 24X7 to help us plan the itinerary, finalize the hotels, and assure us that everything would go well. Not only this, Wilbard’s expert advice that we skip Western Serengeti and spend two days in the Northern Part was beneficial and shows that they know what they are talking.
Everything from our drive to hotels was immaculate. All the hotels were as planned; check-in took minimal time because of Lion King and our movement and transition from one hotel to another and one part of the Serengeti to the second was flawless. We can never forget Anna’s calm demeanor and support she provided us.
We truly believe we could not have chosen a better Travel Company.
We had the Best Guide – my friend Saleh
We spent seven days of the Safari with Saleh as our driver, guide, and now a friend. He has a pleasant personality and is an honest, kind, humble, and trustworthy human being. He is very professional, carries a great passion for his work, and leaves no stone un-turned to make sure that the client gets the best of the experience during the safari.
We saw all the big five during our safari, Mara River crossing and also saw Lion going for a kill that is a rare sight. He has an excellent eye for spotting animals, experience of animal behavior, and encyclopedic knowledge of African Birds. We were always in the right place at the right time because of which we never missed any action. We would not have been possible without our guide friend Saleh.
Learning – Safari is all about the Travel Company you choose and the guide you go with. We are so happy that we went with Lion King Adventures and Saleh as our guide.
I really thank Anna Smith, Wilbard, James and Saleh for making this an experience of our lives.

Thank you so much Lion King!
We did the 7 day migration Safari with Lion King. It took a long time to decide on a company to choose and in the end chose Lion King Adventures. We are so so glad we did. Pre safari the contact was great. Nothing was a problem, no question to silly. The organised transport to get us to Arusha. The price included soft drinks, water and a beer each lunch time. Such a nice touch! The accomodation organised was absolutely incredible. Ozzi was our guide and he was incredible. A great sense of humour, great english, very cautious and respectful and nothing was ever a problem, he was willing to do anything (almost) to ensure we had the best safari experience. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures and will be recommending them to everyone we know coming to Tanzania to do a Safari and hopefully we will be back one day! Thanks Lion King!
