10/10 Experience
5/5

Lion king adventures lived up to all expectations and more. Everything from accommodations, meals, and trips is very detailed making it easy to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience. The safari was absolutely incredible, but the best part was our tour guide Shabani! He made the excursions 10x better, the wonderful man knows all parks like the back of his hand! Shabi is so considerate of his clients but also very respectful of the parks and the animals. As for the rare species of safari animals we saw over 15 lions, a handful of cheetahs, a very rare active leopard with two baby cubs, AND 3 rhinos! Not only did Shabi put us in the best positions to see all the animals but he is just a very genuine friendly man. He answered all our thousands of questions and taught us some Swahili also. Shabani is that guy and I could not recommend lion king adventures more!

LIONKING ADVENTURES (AND MISADVENTURES)
2/5



To evaluate the service fairly, I believe it is important to divide the experience into different stages:

Purchasing process – María

Excellent service. Very efficient, responsive, and professional. We exchanged many emails reviewing options and changes, and she always replied quickly and clearly. This part of the experience was very positive.

After-sales service – Rose

Unfortunately, this is where the problems started. I detected an invoicing error of over USD 9,000. After several days, I was told it was an “administrative error” and that I still had to pay it. We were 15 people with flights already issued and only two months away from departure, so I had no real alternative. I paid to avoid disappointing my grandchildren and because it was impossible to restart the process with another provider so close to the trip.

I requested a phone number for emergencies, which was provided. I had to call it three times due to critical situations:

On arrival to Kilimanjaro, no one was waiting for us at the airport.

On departure from Kilimanjaro to Zanzibar, we did not have our flight tickets and were not allowed to enter the airport. The tickets had been emailed late the night before, without any call or message to alert me. We almost missed the flight and were saved only by our guide.

On arrival in Zanzibar, once again, no one was waiting for us.

Only the first call was answered. In the other two critical situations, there was no response and no return calls.

Additionally, I suffered an accident on the second day of the trip and had to be treated at Karatu Hospital. Our guide handled everything excellently, but no one from the agency ever contacted me to check on my condition.

Guides and vehicles

Outstanding. David, Yusuf, and Muita, together with their assistants Jacob and Kelvin, were highly professional, kind, and attentive. They were the highlight of the trip.

Conclusion

Once the contract was signed, customer service declined dramatically. This was very disappointing, especially when traveling with children and after paying more than USD 80,000. Surprisingly, no one from the agency contacted us afterward to ask about our experience. Overall, the lack of concern for the client was far from the image that led me to choose this company.

Trip of a lifetime!!!
5/5

This was by far the most amazing trip we have been on!! From the first communication with this company and throughout the process they were prompt, friendly and so helpful. The tour exceeded our expectations and our guide Hamade was the absolute best!! He paid attention to every detail, made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the safari and was an expert at finding all the animals! The lodging at all locations were incredible and the staff were all so welcoming and friendly. They also put on a dreamy Vow Renewal Ceremony for us in the Serengeti that was more than we could have asked for. We will definitely be using this company again for our next safari.

Safari 2026
5/5

We chose Lion King Adventures because they were very attentive and thoughtful about replying to initial emails and were very happy with our tour,. Our guide, Oswald , was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, well organised, we always had a clear idea of what we were doing. The lodges we stayed in were great, very welcoming, good food and rooms. We saw so many animals, including the big five and Oswald rearranged our balloon trip for us to a different area when he realised that many wildebeest had already migrated.

Top Notch Experience All Around
5/5

From the very beginning, we had a wonderful experience with Lion King Adventures. From the booking process (Jovitha was incredibly responsive) to the safari itself, everything was handled to the highest standard. A special shoutout to the drivers, who are clearly the best of the best—Lion King Adventures sets a very high bar.

Mecky guided us through the first part of our safari in Tarangire and Lake Manyara, and he was an absolute pleasure to be around. He’s conversational, worldly, deeply knowledgeable, speaks multiple languages, and is even a master mechanic. We felt incredibly lucky to have him as our guide—he’s truly a renaissance man and the perfect person to introduce us to Tanzania during our first few days.

Leonard accompanied us on the second leg of the safari through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Leonard is a true professional and equally wonderful company. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about both flora and fauna and has an incredibly keen eye for spotting wildlife. Thanks to him, we were able to see all of the Big Five—many of them up close. This didn’t feel like luck at all; Leonard has a real instinct for being in the right place at the right time. We even spotted leopards, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive rhino. A special shoutout as well for introducing me to a unique ginger tea, which I now drink on a daily basis!

Overall, Lion King Adventures ensured we had an unforgettable honeymoon, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.
