Great experience with Lion King Adventures and Joseph
We choose Lion King adventures Safari for our wedding anniversary trip and wow what can I say from start to finish, our trip was absolutely incredible. Words can hardly describe how amazing the entire experience was.
We visited Tarangire National Park, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Serengeti, where we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five. It was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.
A special highlight was our wonderful driver and tour guide, Joseph. His knowledge of the wildlife and the parks was exceptional, and his genuine passion for sharing it made our journey even more special. This trip simply would not have been as memorable or enjoyable without him.
We highly recommend Lion King Adventures, and especially Joseph, to anyone planning a safari.
Thank you for an experience we will never forget!

This AMAZING safari way beyond our expectations
This safari experience was way beyond my expectations—and beyond what anyone in our group expected! It was so worth it! I’m so glad we chose Lion King Adventures.
Every scene felt like stepping straight into a Discovery! A huge shoutout to our incredible guide, Suleiman—he’s professional, attentive, and so hilarious. With his expertise, we checked off both the Big Five and the Ugly Five, plus an unforgettable river crossing! He really knows animal behavior inside out, which helps us achieve our list for this safari.
An unforgettable journey filled with amazing moments that words can hardly describe!
I highly recommend Lion King Adventures and Suleiman to everyone!!!!

The safari of a lifetime thanks to Geofrey and Lion King Adventures!
If you are thinking about going on a safari in Tanzania, there is only one thing I can recommend with certainty: ask for Geofrey as your guide.
In seven days he gave us an experience we will never forget. His knowledge of nature, animals, and Tanzania is simply extraordinary. Every day was a fascinating lesson; he explained everything in the smallest details and answered every one of our questions with enthusiasm.
His experience is evident at every moment. He is not just a guide; he is an exceptional professional who knows the territory, animal behavior, and every corner of the parks like the back of his hand. Thanks to his expertise, intuition, and incredible ability to read nature, we were able to see all of the Big Five and an impressive number of other animals, often even before other vehicles noticed their presence.
But what impressed us even more was his constant attention to our safety. In every situation we always felt calm and protected, because every decision he made was the result of his great experience.
The care he dedicated to the vehicle was also impeccable. The car was always perfectly prepared, clean, and checked, a detail that shows how much he cares about his work and the experience of his guests.
Geofrey always did everything possible to satisfy us. He was patient, kind, helpful, charismatic, and always smiling. Every choice he made had one goal: to give us the best safari possible.
We can honestly say that we fell in love with Tanzania, and the credit is mostly his. He was the one who transformed a simple safari into a journey full of emotions, wonder, and memories that we will carry with us forever.
When we return to Tanzania, we will without any doubt ask to have Geofrey as our guide again. For us there is no better choice, and we will recommend him to anyone who wants to experience a truly special safari.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Geofrey, for your professionalism, your immense experience, your passion, and the dedication you put into your work every day. You were the true added value of our trip, and we hope your commitment will be recognized as it deserves. People like you do not simply accompany tourists; they make people fall in love with Tanzania.
Asante sana, Geofrey! You gave us the trip of a lifetime and we hope to see you again very soon

Magical and Unforgettable
We had an incredible safari experience, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Camillus. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the wildlife and the area (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara).
He always took the time to answer our questions and shared many insights that made every game drive even more memorable.
His enthusiasm and keen eye for spotting animals made each day exciting and unforgettable. He truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure we had the best possible experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide.
Saying goodbye was much harder than we expected because he had become such an important part of our experience.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us a safari we'll never forget. We will miss you dearly, and we hope our paths cross again someday 🙏🏼 If you're lucky enough to have him as your guide, you're in for an experience that is truly once in a lifetime.
Asante sana, Camillus ! You're truly zuri sana 🥺🙏🏼

12/10 experience!
We did a 7 day mid range private tour including tarangire, 3 days Serengeti, ngorongoro crate and lake manyara. Our holiday with lion king was more amazing than we could have ever imagined!
Everything was well thought out and planned. Communicating prior was very thorough. I had 0 stress with any of it. We were picked up from the airport even though our tour didn’t start until the day after. Our driver Simon was great at explaining the process and the pick up from the airport and was also very personable.
Our actual tour guide Camillus was 12/10!! He was very kind, wise and has over 25 years of experience in the industry. He took us to all of the right places and was extremely knowledgeable about everything! He had “binocular eyes” and was able to spot so many things from so far away! We saw ALL of the big 5 and more in just 3 days. We even saw over 50 lions in total. And we saw hyenas eating ostrich eggs and challenging a lioness. None of this would have been possible without our amazing guide Camillus!! We learned so much about one another and about Tanzania. We were extremely sad to have to leave Camillus as we had all grown so close during our week holiday.
Our hotels were perfect for mid range. Our favorite was land of nature camp- glamping tents in the middle of the Serengeti. We heard and saw animals both while awake and sleeping. There was even a buffalo grazing outside our room for over an hour in the middle of the night. the staff at each hotel were extremely accommodating and friendly. I am vegetarian and had no issues with food.
Overall, we got so much more out of this trip than we ever expected. I hope to come back to Tanzania and plan to book with lion king and our driver Camillus.

Lacking
Our driver Freddy M. Was exceptional at finding wildlife. Freddy was dangerously aggressive driver as squeezing a lady on her pedal bike onto a truck(happened). Freddy did not hear or chose not to hear my request for lunch box( fruit) till I got upset. The transfer of drivers to get to the airport was surprise and not agreed on, caused us concerns and unnecessary trouble, stated in emails guide to take us to airport period. Freddy only talked to our daughter and basically ignored Donna and I.

Amazing
I haven’t even left Tanzania yet, but I had to leave this review because our 7-day mid-luxury safari with Lion King Adventures exceeded every expectation.
Like many people, I was overwhelmed by all the safari companies, and reviews helped me make my decision. I’m so glad I chose Lion King Adventures. From the moment we booked, Ellie was patient, responsive, and made the planning process seamless, even when we made changes to our itinerary.
Everything was incredibly well organized. Every transfer, hotel, park entry, and activity went exactly as planned, and we didn’t have a single issue during the entire trip.
Our guide, Khalifah, was outstanding. As two female travelers, we felt completely safe the entire time. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind, and worked tirelessly to make sure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five! If you’re booking with Lion King Adventures, request Khalifah—I would ask for him again without hesitation.
The hotels, food, service, and hospitality were all exceptional. This truly was the trip of a lifetime, and I highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Thank you for giving us memories we’ll never forget!
