1-day safari (Arusha National Park), September 15, 2023

After a wonderful 4-day safari with L&D Lion Guides Safaris to Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater, I decided to book a day safari to Arusha National Park on September 15, 2023. I spent 22 months in Arusha and saved the best (and closest) to last. Since I had a residence permit, I got the trip a little cheaper.

In the morning, the tour guide Lukiano first went to the car inspection and then picked up the lunch boxes. Accompanied by his wife Dorit, Lukiano drove us to the entrance of Arusha National Park.
The highlights I really wanted to see were a tree that you could drive through, the Hatari Lodge, known for hosting the film crew of the movie "Hatari!" with John Wayne and Hardy Krueger (I didn't see the movie until I returned to Austria) and a lake with flamingos.

At the entrance to the national park we were greeted by baboons, we also saw many species of birds, zebras, giraffes and at the end even a herd of elephants.

We ate at the Hatari Lodge, with a beautiful view of giraffes and warthogs. Since you had to book in advance for lunch at the lodge, we were lucky enough to be able to eat the lunch boxes we had brought with us there.

After a wonderful excursion, there was a final chat in a café in Arusha with Dorit.

Amazing travelling with Lion Guides Safaris!!

Last year we met Lukiano during our safari in Tanzania. We had a great time.
Back home we couldn’t forget our great time in Tanzania, we wanted to go back because of all the stories Lukiano told us with a lot of passion for his work and country.
Lukiano made for us a great itinerary and so our journey together could start again.
Lukiano and Dorit, we want to thank you for this unforgettable trip!
Lukiano told us about Mount Meru and we wanted to take on the challenge to conquer the mountain. The crew who took care of us on the mountain was incredible, they are all friends for a long time and you felt really the warmth of everyone.
We really enjoyed climbing Mount Meru together but it didn't stop at this great adventure, it went so much further.
Lukiano put together our trip wonderfully! We asked to meet the local population and we got it so well. It started with meeting the family and village of Dorit and Lukiano, which was incredible.
Shopping and going to the market in Arusha, we also enjoyed that immensely. Meeting the different tribes (Hadzabe, Datoga, fishermen by Lake Eyasi), eating goat at the local market, a song especially for us on a boat in Lake Manyara, swimming in the waterfalls by Lake Natron, visiting the Masai and so on…It was really great and we enjoyed it to the fullest!
Early in the morning being eye in eye with an enormous group of Lions in Tarangire while the sun was rising was amazing, we will never forget! Even meeting 3 leopard on one day was unbelievable.
Also all accommodations and food were of the highest level!
Lukiano and Dorit have an incredible feeling for what their guests want and they do everything for their company Lion Guides Safaris. We wish you all the best and are very thankful for everything.
We don’t say goodbye but see you again! One day we will come back and we will definitely book again with Lion Guides Safaris! For everyone who reads this, don’t doubt, just travel with Lion Guides Safaris because they are the best!!
A sante sana!!
You and your country have a special place in our hearts! You gave us memories for life!

Victor was the best guide!

We had an amazing 5 day tour Safari with Victor. Everything was well organized, went absolutely simply.
Thank you!

Very Great Safari Tour

The 3-day safari with Lucky was brilliant! He looks for animals, he sees them from afar, he can tell a lot about wild animals and if he is not sure, he reads up on them. He responded to our needs at all times and his very approachable manner created a great atmosphere! The food was great, not cold food from a lunch box, instead we got a warm freshly cooked menu, with salad and fresh fruit! I would book Lucky again at any time and can only recommend him.

Lukiano – A Fantastic Wildlife Guide!

We met Lukiano through a friend, and it turned out to be an awesome suggestion! Lukiano was super punctual, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He went above and beyond to show us all the animals, crafted a fantastic schedule, and was incredibly flexible and patient. I can't recommend him enough – our experience was an absolute blast! We have documented all our adventures in a Instagram reels, you can check yourself https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2EvtgmCYtk/?igsh=Y2hzenNvczhoNGgx

Just back from an epic adventure in Tanzania's stunning national parks, masterfully organized by Dorit and expertly guided by her husband, Lukiano. This trip was more than just a safari; it was a journey into the heart of Tanzania's wildlife and the rich Maasai culture. The wildlife and scenery, from the Serengeti plains to the Ngorongoro Crater, were simply out of this world.
