Top Notch Experience All Around
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.
Highly responsive, incredibly professional, deeply knowledgeable
We booked our safari with Lion King at very short notice. Within a day, the Lion King team came back to us with a tailored itinerary based on our needs and timeline.
We were picked up at the airport in Kilimanjaro by Justin, who was very friendly and gave us our first introduction to Tanzania and our itinerary and took us to our first lodge.
The following day we were greeted by Haruni, who was our tour guide for the duration of our stay in Tanzania. Haruni is not only a great guide and tracker, he is also extremely professional and friendly. He understood that as we were on honeymoon we did not necessarily want to have a very demanding schedule, and he showed a lot of flexibility with our schedule and tardiness! We managed to see all Big Five and so much more.
Haruni also helped us deal with issues that came up during the trip (unrelated to Tanzania or Lion King), for example finding a hospital to have stitches removed that I had from an operation just prior to arriving in Tanzania.
I could not recommend Lion King more if you are looking for a professional, friendly, and locally knowledgeable operator!

Amazing Lion King Adventures & MURSHID !‼︎‼︎!
This was our first trip to Tanzania, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Thanks to Lion King Adventures, everything—from planning to the safari itself—was perfectly organized.
We traveled for 4 nights and 5 days, starting with a night in Arusha, followed by 3.5 days of game drives in Ngorongoro, Serengeti (Seronera), Ndutu, and Lake Manyara. Despite our limited time, the itinerary was well designed and allowed us to see an incredible variety of wildlife and landscapes.
During the planning stage, Riziki and Naurey were extremely helpful. Their replies were fast, detailed, and very thoughtful. They carefully adjusted the plan to match our wishes and suggested great ideas so we could make the most of our limited schedule. From the beginning, we felt very reassured and well supported.
Our safari guide, MURSHID, was absolutely outstanding. He was friendly, humorous, and very considerate. Even though our English is not perfect, he explained everything clearly and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves.
Thanks to his excellent knowledge, sharp eyesight, and constant communication with other guides, we were able to see all of the Big Five, Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras, and many touching parent-and-child moments—an unforgettable highlight.
One moment that left a particularly strong impression on us was spotting a leopard. MURSHID knew exactly where leopards tend to hide and patiently searched the area, carefully scanning the surroundings. Leopards are masters of camouflage, but thanks to his experience and persistence, we finally found one. It was an unforgettable and emotional moment for us.
We traveled during the rainy season, but MURSHID’s driving skills, time management, and flexibility were impressive. What surprised us especially was that even though the vehicle became completely covered in mud during the day, it was always perfectly clean and spotless the next morning. This level of professionalism and care truly impressed us.
We honestly cannot thank MURSHID enough—he is the best guide we could have ever asked for.
If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend Lion King Adventures and especially MURSHID without hesitation.
This safari exceeded all our expectations, and we will treasure these memories forever.
Wonderful trip with great guide and service!
What an amazing trip! The staff at Lion King (especially Maria and Nickson) were great at planning out trip and tailoring it to our needs. Every part of the trip was well scheduled, including our airport pick up / drop off and extra activities. Lion King was very quick in responding to emails and kept us abreast of progress as the trip was being planned. I was traveling with my 70+ year old mom, and the staff was great at noting the accommodation needs for her. But the biggest applause goes to our tour guide Haruni -- an amazing individual who was kind, attentive and very good at showing us beautiful Tanzania and its wildlife -- we couldn't believe all that we saw! Haruni has great knowledge about the animals and landscape, able to answer questions and was patient when we wanted to stay some place longer. He was a great pleasure on our eight day journey. Cannot recommend Lion King, and especially Haruni more. We loved our trip and overall, I would say that the service, hotels, food, etc. very worth the cost of the trip. Thank you Lion King for the trip of a life time! (though I want to come back again!).

Care and knowledge
We had a fantastic safari with Benjamin from Lion King Adventures. We visited Tarangire, Ndutu, Ngorongoro and Manyara over a 5-day drive. We saw the big five and it seems like all the other major animals during the safari - a lot of giraffes and also cheetahs, hippos, hyenas, zebras, ostriches and an endless stream of wildebeest.
Benjamin is an amazing guide, he was always giving us information about the flora and fauna around us, but also about Tanzania in general, the local customs and day-to-day life. He also had an answer ready for any of our questions. A large portion of the safari is off-road driving which is challenging, but Benjamin is an excellent driver and passed parts of the road where other cars had difficulties without us really noticing.
The accommodations were all very cozy and extremely welcoming, especially the tent camp in Ndutu where there was a New Years cake on Jan 1 which was a small celebration in itself with a song. And an elephant walked (safely) through the camp at night which was an unforgettable experience.
Overall we’re extremely happy with our first safari and we hope this is the first of many!
