Perfect experience
This is a very nice company that take all what you want in consideration to propose a trip that fit what you are searching for. The safari itself was incredible thanks to our guide Shabani who was a very good driver and animals searching. He told us also a lot about the animals.the accommodation were also perfect !

Best Holiday Ever!
We had a fantastic 10-day Tanzania Safari tour with our guide, Musa. We're a family travelling with two teenagers, and the teens have rated it the "best holiday ever"! Musa was friendly, knowledgeable and patiently answered all the questions our wildlife fanatics threw at him. He worked hard to ensure we saw all our favourites. The food and accommodation were also outstanding. Highly recommend!

Ozzy & Gilbert, knowledgeable, fun, easy to get along with, the perfect guides!
Planning a trip for 9, with a wide variety of interests is never easy. From working with Marie to plan the adventure, Nickson for all the arrangements, meeting Justin & Charles for transfers, and Ozzy & Gilbert as our guides, it was the perfect trip. There was never a glitch in the whole process. Our accommodations were top notch, food amazing, we saw all the big 5, they made accommodations for us to visit an area normally not on tours, absolutely all was perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Lion King Adventures to any who ask. Thank you all!

Everything was perfect
The guide, Khalifa, was friendly and competent. He also acted as an intermediary between the company and the hotels.
Rose was very helpful in preparing for our trip. She gave us excellent recommendations and patiently answered all our questions.
A flawless performance that resulted in a wonderful trip

Venance Made Our Tanzanian Safari Unforgettable
I’m glad you liked it! Here’s the updated version with that experience woven in naturally:
Our experience with Lion King Adventures Safari was excellent. We felt the price was very reasonable for everything that was included, and the accommodations were comfortable throughout the trip. We were fortunate enough to see all of the Big Five and so much more, making it an unforgettable experience.
The true highlight of our safari, however, was our guide, Venance. With 15 years of experience as a safari guide, his expertise was obvious from day one. Everywhere we went, other guides seemed to know and respect him, which spoke volumes about his reputation.
His knowledge extended far beyond the animals. He taught us about the national parks, trees and plants, local culture, and the surrounding environment, making every game drive educational as well as exciting. We chose not to hire a tracker, and we never felt like we needed one because Venance’s eyes were incredible. Even while navigating rough terrain, he was able to spot animals—like lions resting in distant trees—that many other guides drove right past. Thanks to him, we saw animals that other safari vehicles completely missed.
He was also an exceptional driver. He confidently handled the safari cruiser through challenging terrain, got us to sightings quickly, and our vehicle never experienced the breakdowns that we saw happen to several others. Beyond his professional skills, Venance was simply a wonderful person. We enjoyed talking with him about life, Tanzania, and so many other topics throughout the trip.
One thing we especially appreciated was how accommodating he was. After a few days, we realized the food at some of the lodges just wasn’t for us. We mentioned that we’d love to try authentic Tanzanian cuisine instead, and Venance took us to a beautiful outdoor restaurant where we were able to sample a variety of traditional dishes. It ended up being one of our favorite meals of the entire trip and gave us an even greater appreciation for the local culture. He truly went above and beyond to make our experience memorable.
The only aspect of the experience that left me feeling disappointed had nothing to do with Lion King Adventures themselves, but with the accommodations for safari guides. At some of the hotels, there wasn’t space for Venance and the other guides to stay overnight. Knowing that the people who work so hard to create unforgettable experiences for tourists sometimes don’t have comfortable accommodations was genuinely upsetting. I hope safari companies and lodging partners continue working together to ensure guides have safe, comfortable places to stay. They dedicate so much to making these trips special, and they deserve the same care and respect in return.
Overall, this was truly the trip of a lifetime, and Venance played an enormous role in making it so. If you’re fortunate enough to have him as your guide, you’re in excellent hands.

He was the best and honestly I could not have asked for anyone better,
It was truly an experience of a life time and Lion King Adventures made it magical. I don’t think we could have had better guides. Gilbert and Ozzy were truly the best. If you’re on the edge about booking it just do it. You will never forget it.
Gilbert is everything you would want for a safari guide, and more.
Gilbert & Ozzy were the dynamic duo we needed for this trip. Not only were they both extremely knowledgeable, their sense of humor and enthusiasm about their work made us all the more interested and excited to explore more everyday. Gilbert was very personable and very keen on giving us the best experience possible. Both Ozzy & Gilbert told us about their home lives and showed us how hard working all Tanzanian people are.
They’re goated and if you want the best safari guides and people, go with Lion King’s Gilbert and Ozzy.

Safari – It couldn't have been better!
We changed our plans at the last minute and decided to book a **5-day private safari in Tanzania**. Through SafariBookings, we quickly received a very competitive offer directly from Lion King Adventures.
Rebecca did an excellent job designing our itinerary. She understood all our wishes, incorporated every detail, and put together exactly the safari we had hoped for.
Once the payment was completed through a secure process, Rose took over the operational planning. She kept us well informed and gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly—and it did.
Our safari exceeded all expectations. Benny, our driver and guide, was highly professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive to our needs.
Without going into every detail, from the first enquiry to the last day of our trip, everything was perfectly organised. From A to Z, it was a truly memorable holiday, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures.

Camillus was Incredible!
Our safari with Lion King Adventures was outstanding from start to finish. Communication throughout the planning process was prompt and clear, making everything easy and stress-free. Once we arrived, every detail was handled professionally, and the team proved to be reliable and organized throughout the trip.
Our guide, Camillus, was fantastic. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and ability to spot wildlife made every game drive exciting and unforgettable. We saw an incredible variety of animals and learned so much along the way.
The entire experience exceeded our expectations, and the quality of the service made it an excellent value for the money. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Five stars!
