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!

Exceptional safari guide and reliable tour operator
My partner and I visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro national park between Dec 27 and Jan 2 and had the most wonderful experience we could ask for. The team at Lion King was communicative and prompt from the planning stages and throughout the entire trip.
We were picked up from the airport with no issues despite our flight being delayed and were dropped off at a hotel to have breakfast which was where we met up with our safari guide, Charles. I cannot say enough great things about our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and went above and beyond by constantly communicating with other drivers on the radio to locate animals we wanted to see. We saw EVERYTHING including rare sightings such as a leopard grabbing catfish for a snack from a body of water, a pride of 20 or so lion eating at the carcasses of 3 buffalos, and even had a cheetah hop onto the spare tire at the back of our vehicle! He was always aware of where to position the vehicle so you could get great photos, would always be flexible with us whenever we needed a break, and would do his best to time our lunches before the crowds to ensure we had a place to sit and eat. He also knows the roads very well so if there is a sighting he WILL get you there. This is my second safari and I can't emphasize enough how big a difference a great safari guide can have on your experience. I highly recommend him to anyone going on safari.
On the last day when we were dropped off at our hotel, there was a huge backlog of people trying to check into the hotel with several people waiting hours to get checked-in but after contacting Maria/Naurey, they promptly called the hotel and ensured us the hotel staff would look after us. Soon after, we received our room keys.
Overall, I had a great experience with Lion King and would safari with them again in the future.
The most reliable and professional company!
Our experience with Lion King Adventures was nothing short of incredible. They were highly communicative and reliable from the first exchange until our final day. Rose and Maria were so helpful for planning and support. Our guide Suleman was AMAZING - professional, fun and so knowledgeable. We would recommend Lion King to anyone and hope to use them again in the future.
