Amazing safari experience!!!
We enjoyed 5 days of safari with Lion King Adventures and we could discover the biggest parks in mainland Tanzania(Tarangire Serengeti Ngorogonro Manyara's lake)
We have been welcomed at the airport by our guides who have been attentionate and passionate to share their knowledge. Our guides spoke perfect French and English.
We had the chance to see all of the big 5 except rhinoceros for which we will come back again with the same company.
For accommodation we chose luxury version and the lodges exceeded our wildest expectations, with spacious rooms with stunning views over the Tanzanian landscapes.
Thank you sooo much!

They really went above and beyond my expectations.
While booking the safari, Tom was always quick to respond to the many questions that I had via whatsapp. I think I even called to ask him something when it was like 2am in Kenya (forgot about the time difference) The tour guide (Edward) was very informative about the animals we came across and just questions that I had about Kenya in general. We had a small group and he took care of our needs and helped me out a lot when he found a covid testing site for me and drove me to the location which wasn't something that he had to do (i needed the test to fly back home). Edward is a very skilled driver which was required for the traffic we sometimes encountered while en route to the parks. I highly recommend this safari company!

Dream Team
We had a magical experience in Tanzania thanks to this tour group. Abraham stayed in touch with us, Douti was a superior guide, and we had a wonderful time. Tanzania is such a beautiful country; we loved the Serengeti and all the animals, but Ngorongoro with its scenic views and friendly people was our favorite. We loved the luxurious accommodations and excellence food (fruits and vegetables actually grown on the grounds!) and felt we got great value for the money we spent on upgrades, (we are too old for sleeping on the ground!) I was especially happy with Douti for showing us the wonderful gift shop at Tanzanite Tour. I was able to shop there for the souvenirs I couldn’t find anywhere else. Also got a good price on a tanzanite ring that I love. We cannot thank Shengena Travel Team enough. We will never forget our trip with them.

Very professional and attentive to the tourists.
We booked a 4-day safari tour and everything was good: the service, the program, the food and above all our guide Benjamin was amazing: he was very well organized, he knows a lot and he is extremely friendly and caring.
You should rather book directly at the tour operator once you are in Arusha and not online, so you pay less.

Owner is awful
Sekanawo Gondwe did not spend one penny of the money we sent him on our safari. First, he tried to get us to send him the full amount for the safari 6 months in advance of the safari. Then he tried to add people to our private safari. Finally, we sent him the other half of the money 1 month before the safari. He never made reservations on our behalf. He never sent any of the accommodations our money. We even gave him extra money to book our PCR tests and he failed to make those reservations. He continued to lie to us and say he would make the reservations and they never materialized. He lied to us all the way up to the moment the Diplomatic and Tourism Police arrested him Arusha and charged him with obtaining money by false pretences. Every word that comes out of his mouth is a bold-faced lie. Steer clear of this unscrupulous operator.

Awesome Safari - Experience of a lifetime!
I really enjoyed my Safari with Hillary, Lewis, Ben and the whole team. The reservation was easy and communication very clear as well as prompt replies for whatever questions we had.
The driverguide Lewis was always patient and very good at finding the best spots for watching the animals. The food was deliciously prepared by Ben. And all of them were always in a good mood and just fun to be around. It was an awesome experience!

Wonderful Vacation in Tanzania
My husband, daughter, and I went on a 10 day safari to Tarangire NP Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro Crater. We used Lappet Faced Safaris and Safaris for the trip and they made the safari a wonderful experience for us. Francisco helped us create a wonderful itinerary by providing a lot of advice on the best time to visit the the parks and what to expect. He advised us to visit in July when the wildebeests would be crossing the Mara River to go into Kenya. He was also very helpful with the small details like the booking our accommodation, payment of park fees, transport and other logistics.
Our guide Joseph was incredibly amazing, excellent at his job, highly experienced and skilled. He was great at locating the animals and he took as close as he could so that we could get great shots. He was very patient with us, especially when my daughter insisted on taking lots of pictures of the animals. Some of his passion even rubbed off on us when he taught us a bit of Swahili. He had a talented eye for birds. He showed us a lot of them and my daughter was happy with the pictures she took of the birds.
The accommodations in the tented camps gave us a feel of Tanzania’s wildlife. We could see the animals roaming from our tents. It was amazing.
I highly recommend Lappet Faced Safaris and Safaris for your African safari.
