It is very a wonderful momemt!
An unforgettable experience with Lion King Adventures! The communication before the trip was excellent, and the team proved to be highly reliable. The 4-day safari tour itself was perfect from start to finish. Great service, a knowledgeable guide, and fantastic value for money. We couldn't have asked for a better trip!

An unforgettable safari with exceptional service
We had an amazing experience with Lion King Adventures from start to finish. Communication before the trip was excellent, and everything was organized professionally and exactly as promised.
A special thank you to our guide, Goodluck, who made the safari truly unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient with our children, and worked hard to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible number of animals and learned a lot about Tanzania and its wildlife.
The accommodations, food, transportation, and overall organization were all of a very high standard. We always felt safe, well taken care of, and welcomed.
Traveling as a family with young children can sometimes be challenging, but Lion King Adventures made everything easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and memorable safari experience in Tanzania.
Thank you, Lion King Adventures, and especially Goodluck, for memories that will stay with us forever!

Excellent - Musa you’re the best!
Outstanding service and experience provided by Lion King Adventures.
Our 5-day safari surpassed all expectations for me and my husband on our honeymoon. Everything was seamless - all transfers, accommodation check ins, communication with Pendo when initially booking, were handled amazingly.
We were truly lucky to have had our guide Musa take us on the journey through Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorogoro. Musa shared all of his knowledge on the areas and wildlife and looked after us so well. He made us feel comfortable, safe and really made us laugh. Genuinely he made the trip unforgettable. Thanks to his experience as a guide, and unbelievable knowledge of the roads and routes in the Serengeti, we got to see the big 5!
I will recommend Lion King adventures to absolutely anyone that is interested in doing a safari. Plus, if we ever are lucky enough to get to do this type of trip again, we will hands down be coming back to Lion King - and we will be requesting our now good friend Musa!
Another special mention to the other gents who assisted us with travel. Robert and George were wonderful. Polite, professional and a true credit to the company.
Thank you, Lion King!

Employs the greatest guide Mkwanda
Great experienced with a guide who went above and beyond for us n finding animals. Within two days we had already spotted 4 of the big 5. Great accommodations, good food but what really made the trip special was the effort our guide Mkwannda made in finding us what to see and taking special time to meet our schedule.

Highly Recommended: Professional, Friendly, and Memorable
It was an incredible experience. The entire staff was very attentive from beginning to end, and the accommodations were excellent. Our guide, Godi, took us to the best spots in each of the parks and reserves to see the Big Five, and we did it! Lunches on safari days were homemade and freshly prepared (not box lunch). The vehicle was clean and restocked with drinks every day. Furthermore, they not only picked us up from the airport the night we arrived but also dropped us off at our accommodation after the safari (in Kilimanjaro). If you have the opportunity to book this experience, don't hesitate to do so with Lion King Adventures, especially with God Bless.

Exceptional Safari and an Outstanding Guide
Our 6-day private safari with Lion King Adventures exceeded all expectations. Everything was perfectly organized, but what truly made the experience special was our guide, Godbless. He was professional, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife and finding the best viewing opportunities. His passion and dedication made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Godbless is an exceptional guide and a great asset to Lion King Adventures. We highly recommend requesting him specifically.

Family of 16 had an amazing time! The best tour operator in Tanzania!
TLDR: You won’t regret booking with Lion King Adventures! They showed care, hospitality and attention to detail throughout our 9-day safari for my family of 16 people (8 adults, 8 kids ranging from 7-14).
Booking Experience: 5/5 - I sent an email request to create a custom safari in June for my family of 16. Nickson was responsive, detail-oriented and clear throughout our dozens of emails. He answered all of my questions regarding itinerary, had great suggestions, and provided lots of preparatory content ahead of our trip.
Safari: 5+/5 - Lion King Adventures absolutely provided the best, safest, and fun experience we could ask for. Ahead of the trip, many in my family had some anxieties being in a new country but the team of Salehe, Hamad, and Geofrey cared for us as their own. All three guides were engaging, funny, and highly knowledgeable about the country, people, national parks and animals. We peppered them with all sorts of questions and they genuinely enjoyed conversing with us.
Our trip consisted of a 9d/8nt trip through Tarangire, Central and Western Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw everything we wanted to - lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, wildebeests, giraffes, baboons, elephants and so much more. Each of the guides had their own expertise and style, which made it fun to rotate between each of their vehicles as a group. They had the uncanny ability to find the more elusive cats anywhere and our three guides worked as a seamless team to help us see as much as we could. Because Lion King is a good-sized company, they also have their own radio channel to share sightings amongst themselves in the park. In addition, our guides also had plenty of positives relationships with guides from other companies to help us find more animals.
Aside from the wildlife, the hotels that Lion King chose were all amazing, especially the Nyota Luxury Camp. It’s worth resting their for a few days and enjoying the pool and the delicious food. The safari vehicles were also newer, clean and very comfortable. I was impressed that the cars were free from safari dirt and dust at the start of each day.
I am so glad that we ultimately booked directly with Lion King to ensure that all of our money was going towards a Tanzanian-owned company without the middle man. It meant that we were getting the best price without any mark-up.
From start to end, I can only speak highly of Lion King Adventures. Nickson, Salehe, Hamad, Geofrey were all amazing.

5-day mid range tour
Our driver-guide Jackson was exceptional: he knows the parks perfectly, has an incredible eye for spotting animals, and explains everything calmly and passionately. We managed to see the Big Five and other more animales. He always drives safely and respectfully toward nature.
The operator’s organization was spot on. Punctual pick-up at the airport, comfortable 4x4 Jeep with a pop-up roof and chargers, clean lodges and tented camps in great locations. The meals were good and plentiful.
No hidden costs, everything went exactly as planned. Highly recommended!
