Unforgettable Experience!
From the moment I arrived at the airport and saw Justin from Lion King Adventures waiting for me I knew I was in good hands. He took me to the first accommodation in Arusha, his car was clean and he gave me a lot of interesting info about Tanzania.
For the safari week we started with a flight to Seronera, flying low over the Serengeti which was incredible and then we we greeted by our four tour guides: Saleh, Ozzie, Yuzuph and Emmanuel. The game vehicles were clean, comfortable and in very good condition. Each one had charging ports and a fridge full of cold drinks, a really nice touch!
These guides were absolute legends. Their knowledge and friendliness made every moment enjoyable as they shared countless facts about the wildlife and nature. We explored Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and were incredibly lucky to spot many animals, including the Big Five. A highlight was when they took us to a part of the migration, what an unforgettable experience!
I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures!

Excellent
Our family had been dreaming of going on a safari in Tanzania this June, and once we decided to make it happen, the next big question was: which tour company do we choose? With no clear starting point, I reached out to five different companies for quotes. Right from the beginning, Lion King Adventures stood out. Their itinerary was detailed, they offered a great selection of accommodations—especially Nyota Luxury Camp, which was a real highlight—and they were able to provide two private, air-conditioned jeeps for our group of seven. They also made sure our dietary needs were fully met, which was a huge relief.
I worked closely with Caroline and Rose on all the planning and booking, and honestly, the entire process was incredibly smooth. Most of our communication happened through WhatsApp and a few phone calls, and they were always warm, responsive, and flexible with our schedule.
Once on the ground, our guides Freddie and Joseph made the experience truly unforgettable. Their knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and even the history of the areas we visited was amazing. They drove with such care and patience, which made a big difference given how bumpy the safari roads can be (we jokingly called it our daily "African massage"). What made the trip even more special were the personal stories they shared—about their lives, their families, and the passion they have for what they do. We even taught each other a few words in our respective languages, which was a fun bonus.
Every hotel we stayed at was wonderful, with friendly staff and great vegetarian options—something we really appreciated. From the concierge to the housekeeping teams, everyone made us feel welcome and well taken care of.
A special thanks to Tuma, who greeted us at the Kilimanjaro airport with a smile after a long journey, and to Jafery, who drove us safely to Moshi at the beginning of our trip.
This was an unforgettable adventure, and our experience with Lion King Adventures was nothing short of fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to explore Tanzania. They helped turn a long-held dream into a beautiful reality.
A professional, personal and stress-free experience throughout.
I was part of a 21-person group tour with Lion King Adventures for 12 days.
My first contact with the company was with the friendly Simon, who warmly welcomed us with a signboard at Kilimanjaro airport and took us to our accommodation in Arusha. His vehicle was very clean and comfortable.
Safari Week
We had a special welcome in the form of the owner of Lion King himself, James, who received us at the Seronera Airstrip in the Serengeti. This is where we also met our safari guides – for our northern circuit (part thereof) tour – Emmanuel, Ozzie, Saleh and Yusuph and enjoyed welcoming drinks. We saw a lot of animals during the trip, with our first leopard sighting only a few minutes into the first game drive. Amazing! My personal highlights were the endless plains of migrating Wildebeest & Zebra in the Serengeti and the splendor of Ngorongoro Crater. Warm lunches every day at very scenic spots were delicious and always more than enough – even catering for the various dietary requirements of the group. I favored Emmanuel's style of guiding and made sure I was always the first to jump in his 4x4. The guides shared valuable insights of the animals, people and environments throughout the tour, all the way from the Serengeti, through Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and back to Arusha. The vehicles were like new and very comfortable to travel in the parks, as well as on the longer travels between them.
Mt Meru Hike
Four of us remained behind to go on a 4day/3night hike of Mt Meru. We were joined on the hike by Godwin, the IT guy from Lion King, which was really pleasant. Our guides Saladin and Emmanuel were great and came to our hotel the night before, to meet and brief us on the hike. We were picked up at our hotel by bus the following morning, where we met the rest of the team of kitchen staff, waiters and porters – all absolutely great people – real professionals who made our entire hiking experience super enjoyable and memorable.
A special mention and huge thanks goes to Rose in the Lion King office – she is someone I have never met of spoken to, yet her name always seemed to come up when things needed to be arranged. The entire trip ran like clockwork – everyone knew where they needed to be and at the right time – this is something that really stood out to me during the trip and ensured a stress-free experience throughout.
On the last day, we were picked up on-time by Charles and taken to Kilimanjaro airport, again in a spotless and very comfortable vehicle. Charles was very friendly and polite. He was quiet, the perfect driver for the end of a tiring but very exciting trip. :)
Asante sana Lion King, for the great memories! I would certainly recommend you to others wanting to experience the best that Tanzania has to offer.

What a brilliant experience!
From the first second until the very last moment: Lion King Adventures made sure we had the best possible experience. When we arrived at the airport there was a driver, George, waiting for us to bring us to the hotel. Our safari started with a domestic flight to Seronera, which was a really nice experience. Flying that low over the Tanzanian reserves is a mindblowing experience. Then we were awaited by our guides: Saleh, Ozzie, Yuzuph and Emmanuel. They were all very passionate about guiding us through Tanzania and tell us everything about the African wildlife, nature, and culture. We learned a lot from them and they brought us to beautiful places. We saw a lot of leopard and lions, but we also did a special drive to get to the migration. After a thorough search we found thousands of Wildebeast, as far the eye could see. But they also appreciated the safari etiquette, no offroad driving even seeing other operators and guides doing this. I really appreciated that they care about the wildlife and nature, and still gave us an amazing experience.
From the Serengeti, to the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, we had an amazing trip. We even did a walking safari through Lake Manyara, also a really amazing experience. We didn't see a lot of animals, but learned a lot about nature and animal behavior from our armed guide.
Saleh, Ozzie, Yuzuph and Emmanuel, and obviously the entire team of Lion King Adventures: Thanks for your great hospitality and experience during our safari! I will never forget this.

Excellent and professional tour operator
I've been fortunate to have been on quite a few safaris with different safari companies and my experience with Lion King Adventures was among the best of them.
The safari vehicles were in great condition with several extras to ensure for a comfortable trip, such as electronic sockets for charging, a fridge with cold drinks and extra pillows to ensure a more comfortable journey over the gravel roads in and to the parks.
We were with a bigger group of four vehicles and that gave me the opportunity to spend time with three of the four tour guides (Ozzie, Jusuph and Emanuel). All three were knowledgeable about the wildlife and eco systems and were also very service minded towards us, clients. The tour guides really made the trip special.
I haven't been on a game drive with the fourth guide (Saleh), but the other members of our travel party who did were also very positive about Saleh (and some of them are also more experienced safari-goers).
We visited Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara and we saw tons of wildlife (all big cats and all Big Five species). We hardly had any rain and the scenery was a beautifully of yellow and green vegetation.
I would recommend Lion King Adventures to friend at family without any doubt.
Keep up the great work team!
