Fantastic!!!
Unforgettable Safari Experience with Lion King Adventures
We just returned from a 5-day safari with Lion King Adventures in Tanzania, and it was truly an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The company was exceptionally well organized – every detail was thoughtfully planned, transfers were punctual, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations in both comfort and location.
Our itinerary included Tarangire, 2 days in the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. Each park offered something unique, and the wildlife sightings were absolutely unforgettable. We had the chance to see cheetahs, lionesses stalking zebras, and even lions feeding on a fresh kill – it felt like living inside a nature documentary.
We are especially grateful to Lion King Adventures for delivering such a professional, seamless, and enriching experience. It’s clear they have deep knowledge of the region and a genuine passion for what they do. Everything was designed... Read more to make our trip worry-free and full of wonder.
A special mention also to our guide, Isaya, for his kindness, knowledge, and flexibility throughout the journey.
We 100% recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone looking for a well-organized, safe, and truly unforgettable safari in Tanzania. A lifetime experience!

Amazing experience with Lion King Adventures
We did a multi-day safari in the Serengeti with Lion King Adventures and it was absolutely amazing. We were three friends traveling together and everything was super easy to organize and book. They adapted the trip to our pace, picked us up at the airport, and arranged our return transfer too—very convenient.
Our guide, Isaya, was fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable, and always attentive. Thanks to him, we saw all the animals we were hoping for—even the elusive leopard! He really went out of his way to make the experience unforgettable.
Highly recommended. A trip we’ll never forget!

Great from start to finish
We traveled with our company and picked Lion King Adventures as our tour operator and it did not disappoint! All four of our tour guides that were very accommodating and knew their stuff. Our itinerary was quite full but never felt overwhelming and we were always told what to expect in terms of travel times, what we were looking for when going on game drives, etcetera.
Lion King Adventures is a great safari operator.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Safari Experience with Lion King Adventures
Wow—what a trip! From the moment we touched down in Arusha, Lion King Adventures had everything sorted. From airport pickup to our stays and drives through Arusha, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara, they didn’t miss a beat.
✅ Service was A1. From airport pickup to lodge check-ins, meal stops (loved the food they packed for our picnic lunches), and game drives, everything ran like clockwork. The team went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and having the best time.
✅ Reliability – Not a single hiccup. The team was always on time, our vehicle was clean and ready (even after a small wine mishap 😅), and we felt completely safe and looked after throughout.
And the tour itself? Breathtaking. Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara—each place was a different kind of magic. And the stars? Our guides: Saleh, Ozzie, Yusuph, and Emmanuel. They were kind, insightful, funny, and knew everything about animals to the local spots to check out in the evenings.
We... Read more truly experienced the Northern Circuit in style and comfort and we’ll be talking about this trip for years to come.
Thank you Lion King Adventures, for the trip. We’ll be recommending you to everyone we know! 🐘🦓

A+ service from the company
I was part of a group travel and this team did a stellar job managing such a huge team. It being my first safari, they have definitely set a standard!
We did Serengeti, Ngorongoro and a village tour to Mto wa mbu. Ngorongoro definitely won my heart. So beautiful, when they say it's like Garden of Eden of Africa it really is.
From the time we landed, transfers to/from the airport were done well,the drivers interacted really well with us. On safari, the guides were just amazing from Saleh,Ozzie,Yusuph and Emmanuel. Their patience and dedication to their work was evident. At no point did they seem tired or bothered even after long drives or numerous questions and requests from us.
As somebody who loves food, I must say the lunches we had on safari were really impressive. So delicious, warm and more than enough considering our numbers. The guides set the table and served us really well. The hospitality was just impressive.
We slept at Nyota Luxury camp... Read more which was also amazing with amazing staff. The only downside I'll mention here is that the water was pretty cold in the morning because they use solar,.maybe something to look into.
All in all, highly highly recommend Lion King!

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.... Read more 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... Read more 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.
