Amazing
Did a 6 day Ndutu calving safari ! Our arrangements were made through Lion King Adventures. Staff of Elia Maira & Nickson Obedi Rafael helped with the reservations… very professional and helpful. There were 6 of us traveling in 2 vans. Our guides Yusuph & Gilbert was just so amazing !! I’ve been to 3-4 safaris before but this was by far the best regards game sightings … saw an abundance of all the big 5,& luckily leopard too. Had opted for luxury accommodations & modest of them were excellent.
Would definitely recommend this company for Serena safaris

It was absolutely worth the trip
Safari Without the “Hardship”
Before coming to Africa, I had mentally prepared myself for what people often say: “If you go to Africa, you should be ready to endure some hardship.”
As it turns out, my expectation of “roughing it” never really materialized.
Following tips from Xiaohongshu, we packed quite a lot before the trip. But looking back now, aside from my Crocs and a pair of binoculars—which turned out to be absolute essentials—almost everything else we brought was largely unnecessary.
Over the course of the trip, we stayed at four different camps. The rooms ranged from tents with soft ground floors, to ones with solid flooring, and eventually to elevated platforms with wooden decks. Shower facilities also evolved along the way—from 20-minute hot showers, to 24-hour hot water, and finally to the luxury of both indoor and outdoor showers available whenever we liked.
In just a few days, we experienced the unique styles and personalities of different camps. Each tented camp had its own special way of welcoming guests and sending them off. The locations of the camps might change, but two things remained constant everywhere: their beautiful singing and their genuinely warm smiles.
Life on safari felt almost like being on a cruise ship on land. In the safari vehicle, water, soft drinks, and beer were always available. Back at camp, we were greeted by buffet spreads that seemed to change every day. One meal would barely end before the next one was already on the horizon.
Every afternoon we had the option: return to camp for lunch or have a picnic out in the wild. Without hesitation, we chose the picnic every single time. Not only did it save the time of driving back and forth, but it also gave us the rare opportunity to enjoy a meal under the same vast sky as the wildlife around us.
Of course, spotting animals during a safari is partly about luck—but a great guide makes all the difference.
Our guide, Mr. Hamad, has been doing this for eight years. Not only is he incredibly experienced, he also seems to possess the eyes of an eagle. Time and again, he would spot animals hidden deep in the grass long before any of us noticed them.
To us, it might have looked like we were simply wandering across the savanna every day, driving without a clear destination. But in reality, Hamad was patiently trying to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. We’re deeply grateful for the way he took us out early every morning and brought us back safely each evening.
Even after a day of heavy rain—when the vehicle was covered in mud—he would still carefully clean both the inside and outside of the car at the end of the day. By the next morning, everything would be spotless again, ready for another safari.
The onboard fridge always held two bottles of the local Serengeti beer, though somehow we never managed to finish them. The red wine, white wine, and champagne that had been prepared in advance also remained quietly untouched in the car.
During the trip, Hamad taught us a couple of local phrases: “Jambo” (hello) and “Hakuna Matata” (no problem). Even now, whenever I meet a stranger, I feel the urge to greet them with a cheerful “Jambo!”
On the flight home, during a transfer, I even greeted an Emirates flight attendant with it. She was probably a little confused inside, but she maintained a perfectly professional smile.
In return, we introduced Hamad to the Chengdu dialect. By the last couple of days, he had already picked it up surprisingly well and could use it with impressive accuracy. Whenever we encountered something new, he would be the first to exclaim:
“Oyo~!”
And the funniest part was that his tone and delivery were absolutely perfect.

Excellent
The safari was very well organised from the start to the end. The guide (Jackson) was extremely knowledgeable about all the flora and founa in each park, he was friendly and professional, and we always felt safe with him around (I travelled solo with my young daughter). We were able to see all animals multiple times. The lodges were very nice, from luxurious tents to more wild , providing a real sense of "living in full nature". I would highly suggest anybody to do a safari with Lion King.

5 star experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our family of five adults recently returned from an unforgettable eight-day safari with Lion King Adventures. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish. Every interaction—from the highly responsive office team to Simon, who handled our airport transfers—was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. We felt completely cared for at every stage.
The true standout was our guide, Leonard. I hadn’t realized how much a guide defines the safari experience until we met him. His deep knowledge of wildlife, paired with his patience and infectious enthusiasm, made each day memorable. Thanks to Leonard’s sharp eye and persistence, we even managed to spot the entire Big Five in a single day to cap off our trip. We recommend Lion King Adventures, and specifically Leonard, without hesitation.
Excellent and unforgettable!
Everything was perfect from the welcome to the organization. We loved the attention and service, and truly enjoyed every moment. Our guide, Murshid, made the trip unforgettable with his knowledge and support. We would definitely do it again with Lion King Adventures.
