Wonderful experience - Lion King Adventures made our visit special
5/5

There aren't many vacations that end up being even better than we imagined. Lion King Adventures made our first African safari a special experience. From the time our guide Haruni picked us up at the airport until we were dropped off 12 days later, we felt we were in excellent hands. While thrilling at times, we never felt in danger and we learned much more about Tanzania and wildlife than we expected. We have an interest in birds and Haruni went out of his way to point out new and interesting birds and knew an amazing amount about them. He also had excellent books that went into greater detail if we were interested. He was excellent at spotting wildlife throughout the tour and explaining animal behavior. I was often amazed at how he spotted animals hidden in trees hundreds of feet away. He also gave us insight into what life is like for ordinary Tanzanians and even took us to a local flea market. As the only tourists there, it felt special to experience this local event. The lodging choices were all very comfortable and the staff at each were very friendly and customer focused. They made us feel welcome when we arrived and sent us off with joy. We received quotes from a couple other tour operators and found Lion King to be very well priced, and we also liked the fact that they are locally owned so our fees remained in the local economy. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures and if we ever return to Tanzania will choose them as our guide.

Very professional safari tour company and guide - would 100 perecent recommend
5/5

A very big thank you to Naurey and the Lion King team for arranging our safari tour in Tanzania and our 4 days of relaxation on Zanzibar.
We had a fantastic holiday and appreciate all your efforts in making our trip so memorable.
Our safari guide Goody was such a lovely man and a super guide, he had fantastic knowledge of all the wildlife and was extremely respectful of the animals' welfare. Six days in the jeep were six incredibly special days, we saw all the animals we could hope to see, and Goody went above and beyond to ensure we had a super memorable holiday.
Naurey took care of all the bookings behind the scenes, every hotel we wanted and the room type we requested was delivered, all transfers were arranged and on time.
We were initially unsure about booking a tour directly with a company in Tanzania, rather than booking through a UK operator, but it was definitely the right choice and we would have no hesitation in recommending Lion King Adventures for a perfect safari - thank you very much.

Very good but commnication with the pick up driver at Kilimanjaro airport needs improvement.
4/5

Back and forth communication with Lion King before arrival was good. However once our safari started our assigned tour Safari guide, Immanuel, was amazing. He made our safari memorable.

The Trip of a Lifetime — Thanks to Lion King Adventures
5/5

I’d always heard that a safari is one of those “must-do” experiences — and now I completely understand why. It’s truly incredible. But what takes a great safari from amazing to unforgettable are the people, the small details, and the personal touches along the way.

We did a ton of research before booking and almost went with another company that was nearly double the cost. I’ll admit I was a little nervous that choosing a more affordable option might mean compromising on quality. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The entire experience exceeded every expectation.

Our coordinator, Naurey, was wonderful — friendly, responsive, and endlessly patient with all our questions and itinerary tweaks. Thank you, Naurey!

We arrived in Arusha a day early to recover from jet lag (highly recommend doing this). It really helped us start the trip rested and ready.

Then came our guide — Mwita. And wow. I know there are a lot of great guides out there, but Mwita is in a class of his own.

He’s from the Serengeti and used to be an auto mechanic (which is pretty comforting when you’re hours from anywhere — though we never needed that skill!).

While some safari trucks zoomed past, Mwita was calm, confident, and incredibly professional — exactly what you want on those bumpy, narrow roads. His eyesight is unreal. He’d spot animals hundreds of yards away that we couldn’t even find with binoculars. (Pro tip: invest in a good pair — it’s worth it.)

Here’s how our itinerary looked:

Tarangire National Park – Elephant Springs: 5 star experience

Ngorongoro Highlands – Gibb’s Farm: 4 star experience

Serengeti – Nyota Luxury Lodge: 6 star experience (yes, six stars… it’s that good!)

Ngorongoro Crater – Lion’s Paw Camp: 6 stars!!!

Lake Manyara – Escarpment Luxury Lodge: 3 stars.

We spent one night at each, except Nyota, where we stayed 2 nights.

The lunches were great — warm, filling meals (usually chicken and rice) that easily beat the cold sandwiches I expected.

Lion King’s Land Cruisers are excellent — clean, comfortable, with plenty of room and charging ports for cameras and phones. You also get the sense that the Lion King team really looks out for each other on the road, which says a lot about the company.

Having a safe, professional driver was important to me, and Mwita was all that and more. He shared stories about his family and Tanzanian life that added so much heart to the trip.

This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and I’ll happily recommend Lion King Adventures — and especially Mwita — to anyone who asks.

Thank you for making our dream safari something we’ll never forget.

Five Perfect Days on a Private Safari with Guide Salehe
5/5

We chose Lion King Adventures for a Private 5-day Safari: 1 day in Tarangire National Park, 2 days in Serengeti National Park, 1 day in the Ngorongoro Crater, and 1 day in Lake Manyara National Park (including a Walking Safari).

From the very first contact, Lion King Adventures offered us an excellent proposal and answered all our questions promptly. They made us feel comfortable and confident about booking with them. We made the payment via Wise, and everything went perfectly.

We arranged our own accommodation in Arusha (one night before and one night after the safari), and Lion King had no issue adapting the proposal and the pick-up/drop-off accordingly.

Now, about our guide, Salehe Lionging — we highly recommend him. He has been a guide for over 10 years, and that experience truly shows in his knowledge and confidence throughout the safari.

He clearly knew the terrain very well, drove safely, and always knew where to take us within the parks. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals — many of which we would never have seen without him.

It was also very important to us that Salehe showed great respect for nature and the animals, as well as genuine care for his fellow guides on the road during the entire trip. Thank you, Salehe, for the amazing experience!

Our vehicle (number 1 – Mufasa) was always spotless, with unlimited fresh water and several other drinks available throughout the safari.

The lunches during the safari were excellent and served in generous portions. Salehe always found great spots for us to enjoy peaceful meals surrounded by nature.

The selected accommodations (Olea Farm Lodge and Embalakai Serengeti Camp) also exceeded our expectations. A special mention to the friendliness and atmosphere at Embalakai — truly memorable.

We will never forget this trip. Asante sana, or in Portuguese: muito obrigado!
