Excellent customisable family friendly staff and company
We are a Malaysian Muslim family travelled to Tanzania in Dec 2018 (me, wife and 3 kids, 14yrs, 11yrs and 7yrs old). Once in a lifetime experience should be managed by a reliable and trustworthy company. The priority should be to match what the tourist wants and with good advice from local guides. We are very happy from the very first email lion king replied to us. The email negotiation about plans and price was very reassuring as it clearly shows that they are very meticulous in providing us the best suggestions and quotes. Our whole journey was highly customisable according to our needs and it extended beyond the safari trip. We ended up letting lion king adventures managed our entire Tanzania trip! We only managed our own flight tickets... We are very fortunate that our safari trip was smooth and, weather was good. But more importantly lion king adventures was very reliable and the description and timing of their plan was very good. The accomodation
choice was excellent to maximise our experience in Tanzania and our first time experiencing safari trip. Our guide/driver Gilbert was excellent. I was very happy with him looking after my family. It was a very exciting trip for us. And we would recommend a trip to Tanzania... and i would definitely recommend Lion King Adventures to help you get the best of tanzania...

Amazing trip of a lifetime
In October 2018 we went on a trip of our lifetime. We had decided on an 8 day Safari with Shemeji. It turned out even better than we could have ever dreamed. Our guide and driver Adam picked us up in Arusha and off we went on an unforgettable journey. Lake Manyara, Tarangire Nat'Pk, Ngorongoro Crater, Empakaai Crater, Central Serengeti and Lake Natron. Every bit unforgettable, we saw the Big 5, and Leopards in the trees and Cheetahs on the prowl only a few meters from our 4x4 and lots more and all due to Adam's excellent scouting, patience and never tiring enthusiasm. His knowledge and passion made every second special. We also like to mention that in the evenings when we retired to our cool drinks Adam went off to clean and maintain the car for the next day's adventure. We could not have asked for a better guide, driver and companion.
Shemeji is a great tour operator and we only have positive things to say. They are always quick in response and happy to help. A left behind jumper turns up magically on the last day. And the fact that part of their profit goes toward supporting Masai girls' education is a wonderful gesture. Thank you Adam, thank you Anna and thanks to you all at Shemeji

Review about Tsavo West National Park by Ray
Because of its terrain makes it difficult to find that many animals, unlike some other parks. They are there and you will see them but not in the quantity like The Mara. Mzima springs worth a visit

Very nice scenery, and if you drive around can normally find plenty of animals.

Review about Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary by Ray
Some nice lodges, including Salt Lick, but better go to Tsavo.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by Ray
Good to see the different species compared to the south of the country, but would not make this a priority.

If you are in Nairobi and do not have a chance to go on a safari this is a must.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Ray
If there is one place to visit in Kenya, this is it. Never disappoints with its large variety of wildlife. Everybody should try to experience the migration at least once. Even if not migration season still very much worth visiting.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Ray
I used to go regularly when the flamingos were there. To see over one million flamingoes on the lake was an incredible site. Unfortunately the flamingos are no longer there and probably better to go to Naivasha and take a boat out to Crescent Island.
