Magical, private northern Tanzania safari experience tailored to us
My husband and I went on a 9 day safari with Lion King for our honeymoon and we LOVED it. Lion King was responsive and great to communicate with from the very beginning. They answered all our questions and tailored the trip to what we were looking for, despite us changing direction ourselves a couple of times. We wanted an experienced, locally-based company (northern Tanzania) and one that is transparent about how things operate, all of which they are. Their prices were fair and in-line with the services we received, which was a spectacular 9 day safari in a private vehicle to 4 different national parks, focused on what we wanted to do and see.
Our guide, Ozzy, was phenomenal and we could tell how experienced and professional he was from the start, and quickly learned how patient he was as well, as we spent plenty of stops looking up random birds and other creatures that other tourists likely don't care as much about. We saw a truly stunning number of unique animal species throughout our trip (over 100) and many individuals of quite of few of those species. We were lucky enough to see the big 5 (most of them many times), and though a lot of that is just luck and good timing, we were grateful for Ozzy's experience and communication which allowed us to track down where some animals happened to be at that time. We were also excited to see whatever we could, even if it was the "less glamorous" safari creatures, which was a great part of our experience and one that Ozzy helped back up as well by pointing out anything and everything as he picked up on what we were intrigued by.
Our safari vehicle was wonderful, kept miraculously clean by Ozzy despite all our dusty shoes and such, and very comfortable and spacious for the two of us. It was perfect for us to move around in and get all the photos we wanted, which was also super important to us. By the time we were done with our safari, we had seen so many other companies' vehicles broken down, yet I still had no doubts whatsoever of our Lion King vehicle or Ozzy's driving. We felt safe, taken care of, and confident in all aspects of our safari, really without a doubt.
We went with what Lion King calls "mid-range" accommodations (which they arranged for us) and all of them exceeded our expectations, especially being out in the bush. Staff at all the locations were wonderful and the food was excellent, including the hot lunches we got out in the parks.
Overall, we had such a spectacular time on this trip, as our first time to Tanzania and to the continent, and it was largely due to such a great tour company, tour guide, and all the amazing things they helped us see and experience, and we would highly recommend both Ozzy and Lion King Adventures to anyone looking for a Tanzania safari!

Amazing!
Thank you for a wonderful experience. Everything went fine from the very beginning. We had the best people possible to customize our safari according to our needs. They were extremely professional and also flexible when some issues came along the way! We appreciated it very much.
Our special thanks to OSWALD (OZZY), our excellent guide. Not only was professional at all times, but also friendly and smiling, punctual, with a great sense of humour and the best eyesight ever! We were really comfortable with him at all times and was a huge parte of our amazing safari. We highly recommend him. Jambo, Ozzy!

Great tour operator for families of all ages
Lion King adventures met every expectation. We had wonderful accomodations that felt so luxury but didnt cost the price you would expect. Our guide was knoweldgable, an amazing driver and very accomodating to our families needs. We left feeling we hadent missed anything on this family trip of a lifetime.

Outstanding Tanzania Safari — Excellent Guide and Superb Agency Coordination
Our Tanzania safari organised by the agency was an excellent experience from start to finish. The agency was extremely flexible and maintained perfect communication long before our departure. We received a clear and well-structured travel plan as well as a helpful mobile app that kept everything easy to follow. Although we lost one day because of flight issues completely outside the agency’s responsibility, they reacted quickly and efficiently, finding a solution that allowed us to return to our original itinerary without missing the key experiences.
Our guide, Ezekiel, was caring, attentive, and always ready to answer any question. Thanks to his knowledge and support, we felt comfortable, safe, and well-looked after throughout the entire journey. The agency also chose very authentic and charming accommodations that made the whole trip feel even more special. The food everywhere was good, and we even received complimentary beer and wine, which was a lovely surprise.
I highly recommend to book a balloon flight. It's worth it. If you want to take photos, I recommend to bring a 400 mm lens.
Overall, we had a truly memorable and perfectly organised safari, and we can highly recommend both the agency and our guide Ezekhiel to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania.
