Amazing honeymoon experience!
We had an incredible experience with Lion King Adventures! We booked with them for our honeymoon and are very happy with our choice. They were incredibly informative and responsive with any request regarding packing, expectations, etc. Our guide, Shafino, was the best of the best. His knowledge of the animals, the ecosystem, and the culture can’t be beat. We got the full safari experience and couldn’t be more grateful for this once in a lifetime experience!

Great Safari Experience
We had an incredible safari experience with Lion King Adventures. Their office staff was very helpful, informative, and they communicate very well. They give you a pdf with all the information of your trip with pictures included which was very nice. Our pick ups to and from the airport were on time and hassle free. They also helped us arrange our stay and transportation in Zanzibar where we stayed after our Safari. Our guide on Safari, Shafino, is extremely smart and has many years of experience as a guide. We learned so much from him and he worked extremely hard! We were lucky enough to see all of the big 9 thanks to his knowledge of the parks and his relationships with the other guides. Tanzania is so special and extremely beautiful and you will not regret your decision to visit and see the beauty this country has to offer. Thank you Lion King Adventures!

A seamless, once-in-a-lifetime safari experience with Lion King
We communicated with Jovitha during the quote and Naurey handled all the organization, and from start to finish everything was seamless and easy. Our guide, Salehe Mkwanda, was fantastic—knowledgeable, fun, and full of stories that went beyond the usual animal facts. The team was extremely flexible, accommodating our requests to add an extra day or change accommodations, and they also arranged smooth airport transfers. Even though we did everything by email, it all felt effortless.
Over 8 days, we visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and every day was packed with unforgettable wildlife encounters. We saw the Big Five, baby cheetahs with their mama, lions almost every day, and even got very close to the river crossing. Staying at the different camps added to the adventure: at one tented camp we could hear hippos grunting at night, watched dik-diks chasing each other by our tent, and saw monkeys filling the trees.
The scenery, wildlife, and atmosphere at each stop were simply spectacular, from sunrises and sunsets right at the camps to the wide-open plains of the Serengeti. A safari like this isn’t cheap, but with Lion King, we felt we got excellent value for money. The organization, the guides, and the unforgettable experiences made every penny worth it. From start to finish, it was all about relaxing, enjoying the adventure, and making memories—truly a once-in-a-lifetime safari.

Quality
I worked with Lion King Adventures to bring a group of 12 people to Tanzania. As a frequent traveler and someone who has been to Tanzania before, I had a high standard for what I expected for my group. Lion King did not disappoint. The trucks were the nicest we saw on the whole trip - squeaky clean, well-maintained, and ran well. Our driver/guides - Salhe and Gilbert - were phenomenal. Both are so knowledgeable, kind, funny, and fit right into our group like we were old friends. The office staff was great at providing on the ground service for my group whenever I had questions or needed to make on the go changes. If you're looking for a company that will deliver the Tanzania experience of your dreams, don't even hesitate. 5 stars, would totally recommend.

An Amazing Safari Experience in Tanzania
Our trip to Tanzania was an experience we will never forget. We were very lucky to see all of the Big Five, and every moment with the animals felt really special.
A huge thank you to our guide Salehe Mkwanda. He knows so much about the animals and nature, always showed us the best spots, and shared so much interesting information. He also made sure our lunch stops were at nice places and that the toilet breaks were clean and comfortable – very important during a safari.
We were also happy with the food: the hotels always offered a good selection, and the lunch boxes during the safari were surprisingly good.
The whole trip was perfectly organized. From the accommodations to the daily schedule, everything ran smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Even the Organisation and communication with the office was perfect. Reminder an information in time was very helful.
We can highly recommend this safari – amazing experiences, great organization, and with Salehe as our guide it was a truly special adventure! 🌍🦁🐘

THE BEST TOUR OPERATOR IN TANZANIA
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WORDS in my vocabulary to explain how cool was our experience with Lion King Adventure. Our guide HASSAN is simply the best, SO smart, he speaks English and German and knows perfectly the wild, he took us right in front of the LEOPARD, prepared the best lunches in the world, so fun to be around and he has incredible stories about the animals/ history/ culture etc. Also a big round of applause for the office Godwin & team, incredibly professional at organizing the whole trip. This paragraph is not sufficient to cover how amazing this trip was. Truly once in a lifetime adventure. This was the first time we truly felt what AFRICA is and having a good guide is essential, you stay all day in the safari car together and Hassan made all these days a magical adventure.
Thank you Hassan, Godwin and LION KING ADVENTURES.

Unforgettable Safari in Tanzania with the best guide
Our safari in Tanzania was simply unforgettable! We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and every single moment with the animals was really special. That’s something we will always remember.
A big thank you to our guide Salehe Mkwanda. He knows so much about the animals and nature, and always managed to find the best spots. He also made sure we had nice places for lunch and that toilet stops were clean, which is really important during a safari.
The food was also good: in the hotels there was always some choice, and the lunch boxes on the tour were actually much better than we expected.
The whole organization was great too. The accommodations, the schedule – everything worked perfectly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
We are so happy we did this safari – perfectly organized, amazing experiences, and with Salehe Mkwanda as our guide it was something really special. Highly recommended! 🌍🦁🐘

Great Safari experience
We did a 5 day mid range private safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. It was a great experience, very well organised, nice accomodations, and we had the best guide Saleh Mkwanda. He's a safe driver and a very communicative guide. Will definitely book with them again in the future.

Absolutely fantastic company
We did extensive research before we finally booked with Lion King Adventures, and we were not disappointed. Their price was very competitive. There were less expensive options but Lion King's communication was great! Lion King was quick to answer all of our questions in a timely manner. This is a trip of a lifetime and we were very specific with what we wanted to do and see. We had many questions and requests that were not only handled with care but expeditiously, as well. We were very keen to be able to see as much as possible in our 7 days and the itinerary was perfect. We also wanted to give back to the community and Lion King Adventures were able to help arrange a visit to a local market to buy fresh produce and goods to deliver to a local orphanage...perfect.
Now about the safari...we visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, & Lake Manyara. We were able to see every animal we wanted and spent as long as we needed watching them and taking thousands of photos. Our Safari guide was Gilbert. He was very knowledgeable and was just as happy and excited with every animal we saw, to watch the wildlife and answer all of our questions. We never felt rushed or disappointed when we moved on as there was still a lodge to get to at the end of each day. We got to see Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Hyenas, Elephants, Rhinos, Giraffes, Warthog, Hippos, Jackals, many different Antelopes and monkeys, Secretary Birds, Ostrich, Cape buffalo, Kori Bustards, Zebra and Wildebeest (migrating) and so much more. We even witnessed a live kill.
Accommodations were amazing, we had a mix of lodges and tented units. All were full service and the food was excellent. There was great choice and it was very fresh. Bottled water was provided everyday in the vehicle and also at the overnight lodges. While we were staying in the Serengeti (tented) we had to be escorted by Masaai before dawn and after dusk to protect us from the wildlife. We were woken one night to the sound of chomping and just outside the tent was a hippo.....just wow.
We finished our last day visiting the Materuni waterfall at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro and a coffee plantation. It was really interesting and the best cup of coffee ever. We made it ourselves from bean all the way to cup.
Lion King Adventures were exceptional from my first communication with them until we left.
A huge thank you to Rose, Gilbert, Jabari and the rest of the team. They made this the perfect trip. We will be back.
