Super organising team from office till driver where flexibility is king
From the start Lion King Adventures was very cooperative and reactive to present us the 6 day private safari.
The choice of the hotels was just fine; Meru hotel in Arusha was our favourite to start with as a great personal service from the 2 sisters in a beautiful heritage house with pool. From there on our driver Freddy Elias was driving us around for the next 5 days. He was just fantastic and we noticed that he had a lot of experience besides that he was a responsable driver.
Twice we stayed at The Retreat and there Judith and her team took great care of us by serving us drinks and great food around the beautiful swimming pool surrounded by a beautiful garden. In the evening the fireplace in the room was on and a hot water bottle was in our bed…what a service.
The Ngorongoro Crater Lodge was the summum for the unforgettable view and the Nyota campsite who belongs to Lion King was the most natural experience with great food in a beautiful setting for 2 nights. Laurence, Duma and the whole team were serving us like kings and queens. Although the new campsite wasn’t fully finished around the pool it will remain in our memories as a very beautiful place in the wilderness.
We saw the big 5 where the rhino was way to far but lots of animals that where so close to the great Toyota Landcruiser without any danger. The leopard was the biggest surprise as only at 3 m from us eye to eye while entering the road to Ngorongoro Crater Lodge.
We let friendly Freddy go back to his family en we went on kiting in Zanzibar in a lovely boutiue hotel Dhow Inn in Paje.
Excellent staff and service unbeatable location
We booked a 5 day mid-range safari with Lion King Adventures having heard about them on Jack’s Flight Club forum. We were booking from the UK and wanted to use a local Tanzanian company - I would definitely use them again.
All the staff we had contact with were efficient, friendly and 100% trustworthy and they made the whole process reassuring and enjoyable.
From Florida at head office to Chris the chef who delivered our lunch on day 1 to Huruma, our lovely guide for 5 days - he really became one of the family for the trip and we all enjoyed his company as well as his great driving, knowledge and the kindness he showed to us as well as other guides and local Masai people we met along the way.
We saw many beautiful animals but also felt truly immersed in the culture and landscape too.
The staff at all the lodges were all lovely and very welcoming. Nyota is a very special place.
We have spent time previously in Namibia, Botswana, SA, Zimbabwe and Kenya, all of which have incredible wildlife and landscapes but it is the people of Tanzania that will make us want to return again.
Many thanks for an unforgettable trip
Kate and family
Very Impressed and beyond expectation
We booked a family of 6 trip from England direct with Lion King - Florida was great with all the booking details and messages and a mid level 5 day Safari package was put together - we had a fantastic guide Huruma for the trip who was knowledgeable, charming and did everything he could to make it a great, memorable trip - all the accommodation was wonderful particularly lovely was Nyota camp in the Serengeti - all staff were friendly and excellent service with great rooms - a special trip and I would highly recommend Lion King

Excellent operator, made our trip beyond our expectation.
- Booking: Communication before booking was smooth. We had 3 operators as our selections as our starting point of preparation - I think it is a good way to start. Anyone who plans the safari, DO NOT stick to one operator. And Lion King was the best of them. The reply was really on time, and the content they made with the simple information we provided(something like our budgets, what kind of animal we want to see, and which parts we want to go) was so professional and the first reply was already practical enough to go. So after 2,3 rounds of email communication, we dumped the other operators. They were able to change the plans following our tiny requests and adjust them like accommodation etc.
- The payment: the payment process was explained clearly with the list of accepted methods of payments and FRAUD cautions. We were concerned a little as you know, traveler usually needs to transfer money directly, but their email made us comfortable. As we planned this trip early, after the payment, they kept in touch with us letting us let them know if we had any questions.
- Pickup and trip: We had Gilbert with us. Good at finding animals, and all of the operators helped each other they would broadcast the location of the animals, and they would make sure everyone in the park could see the animals. Gilbert was nice, helped us to see the animals and he would also make sure other people could see them too - he would leave after making sure we had gotten enough and made space for others. And if we took so long, he would remind us. The park is not a private place, after all, it should have everyone get what they want. So - actually with the way the operators/guides work, almost everyone can see almost all the animals - but our guide made us comfortable with how we were traveling without impacting other people. It aligns with our values.
- Accommodations: the places we stayed were great - the infra and services. Maybe because of the certain environment, every place was so quiet. We all know the parks are full of bugs, people will help with bedding and spray bug repellers every night.
We visited a lot of places and this experience was one of our bests. We didn't even want to leave at the moment. We will visit again, and most likely we will travel with Lion King Adventures again.

Accomodating, knowledgeable, professional.
Lion King Adventures did an amazing job with planning our tour. We went for our honeymoon and they were essential to making it an unforgettable experience. The safari was unforgettable. Our guide, Yusuph, was very knowledgeable, easy going, accommodating, and kind. He knew an immense amount of information about the animals and made it his priority to locate all of them, even if it meant spending extra time. Our happiness was his goal. He was also amazing with teaching us common Swahili phrases and details about their amazing culture. Lion King Adventures made everything easy and seamless, planning all our meals and accommodations. The lodges they booked were incredible and each one provided a different type of experience. The pictures you see when you are researching/booking don’t do it justice. All the meals during our trip were delicious. You had the opportunity to try local cuisine and other options as well. We would use Lion King Adventures again in a heartbeat.
