Deeply experienced with a great sense of humour, he delivered the safari of a lifetime.
Our guide Heaven, of Lion King Adventures delivered the safari of a lifetime. Heaven helped me spot the big 5, showing his deep experience and knowledge of the animals, along with a great sense of humour and top efficiency. The trip greatly exceeded all my expectations, and I felt extremely privileged to have seen so much under the direction of such a wonderful and knowledgeable guide.
I would thoroughly recommend my experience with Lion King and have done so to my family and friends. I loved seeing the rhinos, leopards, lions (and their cubs), the water buffalo and the elephants along with many more animals such as giraffe and zebra. I greatly enjoyed experiencing the vast expanses of the Serengeti and the beaty of the Ngorongoro Crater.
The delicious food also deserves a special mention and the hospitality of all the kind staff of the places we stayed at including Nyota Rift Valley, Embalaki Authentic Camp and Arusha Planet Lodge. For example, being greeted with music and dance and invited to learn about cultural practices and traditional ways of life and being able to ask questions was a highlight. The accommodation was very clean and very comfortable. I felt very safe and well looked after throughout the trip.
I have truly made memories on this holiday that I will treasure indefinitely thanks to Lion King and our guide Heaven.
Highly professional and relaxed tour guide who ensured we had an unforgettable trip!
We booked a 7-day safari with Lion King Adventures, with Heaven Tembe as our guide, and visited Tarangire NP, Serengeti NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara.
The booking process was very easy, and the team were attentive and responsive throughout. All the accommodation arranged through Lion King Adventures was excellent, with very clean rooms, high-quality food and beautiful surroundings. A particular favourite was Nyota Rift Valley Lodge, which had a spectacular view across Lake Manyara.
Our guide, Heaven, was very welcoming and professional. From the start of the trip, he asked which animals we most wished to see and worked incredibly hard to find us unique viewing opportunities, drawing on his many years of experience. In addition, he was extremely knowledgeable about each of the animals we saw and gave us a much deeper understanding of their individual behaviours and the challenges they face.
Most importantly, Heaven was extremely patient, relaxed and good-humoured, tailoring each day to the pace at which we wished to travel. At no point did we feel rushed or that we had not spent enough time observing a particular scene. We felt incredibly fortunate to have had such an experienced guide, who helped ensure our trip was truly unforgettable. We could not recommend him to others highly enough.

The best safari company
We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Lion King Adventures. A huge part of what made this trip so special was our guide, John. He made us feel so comfortable and cared for throughout the entire safari, and by the end of the trip, he truly felt like a friend and brother. Saying goodbye to him was honestly one of the hardest parts of leaving Tanzania.
Thank you to the entire Lion King Adventures team for organizing everything so smoothly and making the whole experience so special. We also absolutely loved our stay at Nyota Luxury Camp in the Serengeti — it was such a beautiful and memorable part of our trip.
We are so grateful for the memories we made in Tanzania and would absolutely recommend Lion King Adventures!
Amazing Safari Experience
This truly was a trip of a lifetime with Lion King Adventures. One of the most important things for your trip will be your Safari Guide and we could not have asked for anyone better than John. With him we were able to see the Big 5, the Ugly 5, the Great Migration, Migration Crossing at the Mara River, and so much more. We visited Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and lastly Lake Manyara. John was always willing to take pictures with us and really worked hard to make sure we were always safe and happy. One very important thing was seeing how friendly John was with the other Safari drivers - he always greeted others kindly and it was great to see him very willing to help another guide/group in need and it just as great to receive help and friendliness from other guides/groups as well. It really enhanced our experience having a guide with such a good heart. (Special shout out to Paul with Matoke Tours and Benjamin with Lion King Adventures for their kindness)
Lion King Adventures has it's own accommodations in Central Serengeti called "Nyota Serengeti" (which means Serengeti Star, btw) and one of our very few regrets was not staying here longer. Nyota truly felt like a luxury in the middle of the Serengeti - we had running hot water, amazing meals, wifi (about as good as you can expect being so remote), a pool, a spacious room, indoor/outdoor shower, a deck and also you can (sometimes) very clearly hear lions and hyenas very nearby. The staff there were the nicest of all of our accommodations the whole trip. Our friend Isaya escorted us to and from our tent each morning and night, armed with the necessary equipment to keep predators away.
I was very interested in learning as much Swahili as I could while I was there and John very kindly helped me with this goal - he always would find interesting words or phrases that I could learn that were related to Safari and he was such a friendly teacher to also encourage me to use the new words. It was such a short time there but it felt so much longer and we didn't want it to end; we are legitimately so sad for the trip to be over. This will certainly not be the last time we visit Tanzania. We love this country and will miss Tanzania, the Senrengeti, and our brother and friend, John.

Emmanuel was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile
Very easy to deal with from the beginning. We were able to create our own safari package and have full control of the itinerary and start/end dates. Lion king safari was very easy to contact and had very quick replies yo any questions we had. The accommodations were beautiful. The travel vehicles were comfortable with good A/C. We had a great guide and were lucky to see the big 5 and lots more. Overall great value for money and great service. Would recommend.
