Amazing experience
5/5

My friend and I saw Big5 and spectacular views. Photos cannot show how beautiful it is.
Our guide was awesome! He knows everything about what we were curious of and very good at explanations! Learning Swahili from the guide was one of our favourite time in Tanzania :) Thanks to Lion King Adventure for giving us such a wonderful memories!

Super recommended.

The Safari you dream of
5/5

My safari with Lion King was the safari I've always dreamed of going on. It far exceeded expectations in every sense. There is not a single thing I can complain about. It was perfect. Lion King took care of everything for us. We went during the off-season and it felt like we had the Serengeti and Ngorongoro to ourselves with the animals. We thought we were going to get stuck in the rain, but it only rained briefly on one day and it was honestly a surreal way to experience it. Do not be scared of a little rain on your safari! We were happy to trade a little rain for not spending tons of time behind other safari vehicles.

The accommodations that Lion King booked were incredible: beautiful views and amenities and since it was the off-season, we had the lodges to ourselves as well. It felt like a completely private trip. I highly recommend going during early December, it was a truly magical experience.

Our Lion King guide was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. He went above and beyond in every way. He knew so much about both the Serengeti and Ngorongoro and was able to help us find the elusive leopard up close, which was the highlight of the trip for me. He was fun to be around and went above and beyond in every way to make us feel comfortable and to find the hard-to-spot animals.Spend the extra dollars with Lion King, you will not regret it.

Beautifull Wildlife
5/5

We did a 7-nights trip mid-range-Safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Mayara. The organisation and communication with the office of Lion king Safari was perfect and very easy. As we wanted to stay 3 nights in Serengeti (what we would suggest to everybody), the safari was customized easely and quickly according to our wishes special wishes. The Serengeti where we could see the the "big migration of the wilderbeasts and the zebras" was definitely the highlight of the trip. We were accompanied by our guide and driver David, which was a very pleasant company, showed us many sights and also took us off the beaten tracks.

Once in a life time safari experience
5/5

I would thoroughly recommend our experience with Lion King Adventures to anyone looking to safari in Tanzania, they were truly excellent!
From our very first contact with Pendo to help us choose our accommodation through to Anna arranging our final logistics and our guide Saleh who was AMAZING!!
The team are very knowledgeable and helpful in adapting their packages to suit you, we preferred to stay in lodges and hotels rather than the tented camps and every property recommended to us was truly incredible!
Though our 5 days we saw so much thanks to Saleh and his great eye at spotting animals and getting us in the perfect location for so many incredible photos.
He was a joy to spend 5 days with and share this experience with us.
We couldn't have dreamed we would see so many animals in their natural habitat.
Thank you Lion King Adventures for making the safari part of our Tanzanian adventure so unbelievably special!

Great Professional and Friendly!
5/5

Even before we decided to book our safari from Lion King, they shared many information and they were helpful. Their pre-departure document is a plus.

All reservation process was smooth and all of our special requests were covered (like early check-in at our first day because of our flight schedule).

During the trip, we were with Abou (Aboubakar) who is an amazing guy. He tried his best to make us comfortable, gave a lot of information about wildlife and put a lot of effort to let us see all of the animals.

After our trip, we went to company's office to have a short survey with their another staff which made us feel that we made the right choice to make our honeymoon safari with Lion King Adventures.

Thanks to Abou and everyone involved, we had a great start to our honeymoon there in Tanzania!

Unforgettable experience
5/5

We have just made a 7-day Safari with Lion King adventures . The experience has been very satisfactory in all aspects. Regarding the organization, the Lion King Staff was able to organize a tailor-made trip just 3 days in advance(!).Our driver & guide, David , spokes Spanish fluently.This is a bonus value, as many Spanish people visit Tanzania.
It was a 7-day Safari visiting Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Manyara. The type of Safari included hotel accommodation, camping site with cabins and camping with tents in the camping areas of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks. The agency provided the camping equipment. The vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser had a lifting roof to facilitate the observation of animals, plugs with AC supply and USB port for charging batteries and electronic accessories and refrigerator, as well as enough the for luggage.
In addition to the driver-guide David, we were accompanied by a chef, Yusuphu, who prepared breakfast, dinner and picnic meals daily.
David is a great professional, with the qualities of a safari guide: knowledge of the terrain, animal behaviour and enough patience. We were fortunate to watch many wild animals, including leopards, cheetahs and lions that inhabit the trees of the Manyara park. There really are no words to describe the beauty of landscapes; The 4 parks we visited were very different although they had wildlife in common.
It is admirable how Yusuphu was able to prepare fantastic meals with very limited items and without repeating the menu. Few things are better than a splendid dinner after a day of safari.
It is necessary to highlight the organization of the national parks of Tanzania, with an excellent care of the surroundings, many rest areas where the state and the cleanliness of the facilities is excellent, including the bathrooms so for public use.
The attention and treatment received from David and Yusuphu have been top.
Taking a trip like this is an unforgettable experience, which has been possible thanks to Lion King adventures.

Wonderful Well Planned Family Adventure with a Perfect Guide
5/5

Lion King Adventures was great from the start. The office staff was promptly responsive to my emails, answered all of my questions, gave advice on planning, and modified the trip to suit our needs. Every request I had was met and fulfilled - and this was before we even got to Tanzania. Everything (vehicles, accommodations, meals, entrance fees etc.) from the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we left was perfectly planned and went smoothly. My husband, my 14 year old daughter, my 11 year old son and I couldn't have imagined a better trip. Our guide, Goodluck, cared about what we were interested in and cared about teaching us about Tanzania. We felt like the entire experience with him was very personal and so special. I don't think I can properly describe how much we appreciate (and, frankly, will miss) Goodluck - he made an impact on our lives. A safari is not "easy" traveling (we preferred (chose) to be out in the vehicle as much as possible to see as much as possible), but it was nice to arrive at clean, comfortable and very nice accommodations in the evenings and be well fed throughout. I highly recommend Lion King Adventures.

Trip of a lifetime in Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara!
5/5

Lion King Adventures was recommended by friends who lived in Arusha for many years and the 4-day camping safari was far better than I had imagined. Some of the most breathtaking scenery and so many animals – lions, elephants, hippos, a close encounter with a black rhino, and so much more! Our guide, David was an exceptional driver and found the best sites for viewing animals every day. Our chef, Yusufu, was a delight, supplying (too much) great food, and interesting conversation. The camp sites and tents were comfortable and very well organized. The extra bonus was the Olduvai Gorge Site Museum in the cradle of mankind . David and Yusufu made the trip a total success. I have already recommended Lion King Adventures to my co-workers back home.
