Amazing!
What an amazing trip to Kilimanjaro! The whole experience of Kilimanjaro was absolutely wonderful. Luki, Alex, Justin, Eric, and the whole team were amazing with us, helping and supporting us on and off the mountain, answering our questions, lifting our spirits whenever we needed it (especially on summit day), and always with a smile on their faces. The only mountain out of all that I have climbed, that I would gladly climb again in order to do it with these guys one more time!! Thank you for everything!!

Professional, reliable and caring guides who turn dreams into unforgettable adventures.
A huge thank you to the entire L & D Lion Guides Safaris team for the excellent organization of my Kilimanjaro expedition. From the very beginning, communication was smooth, everything was perfectly organized, and I always felt safe and well taken care of.
The whole team deserves enormous applause for their professionalism, experience, kindness and dedication. Without them, I could not have fulfilled my dream of reaching Kilimanjaro and discovering Tanzania.
Every detail of the expedition was handled with care, and the guides were supportive and motivating every step of the way. This was much more than a tour - it was a truly unforgettable life experience.
I wholeheartedly recommend L & D Lion Guides Safaris to anyone dreaming of an adventure in Tanzania. Live your myth in Tanzania with Lion Guides! 🦁🏔️🇹🇿
Thank you for helping me turn a dream into a memory that will stay with me forever!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Guide Luckyano – Lyons King
We recently completed an incredible safari across Tanzania with Lyons King, and none of it would have been possible without our exceptional guide, Luckyano (Lucky). From the moment we set off through Tarangire, the Serengeti (both central and northern areas), Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, Lucky's expertise was evident at every turn.
His knowledge of the parks, wildlife behavior, and terrain was outstanding. He always seemed to know exactly where to go and when, which is why we were fortunate enough to spot all of the Big Five during our trip. Beyond that, he made sure we witnessed truly unforgettable moments, including the wildebeest crossing the Mara River — a scene we'll never forget.
What made the experience even more special was Lucky's warmth and genuine enthusiasm. He was patient, friendly, and always went the extra mile to make sure we felt comfortable and had the best possible sightings, never rushing us and always sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem and animals we encountered.
Thanks to his dedication and effort, this safari became one of the best experiences of our lives. We cannot recommend Lucky highly enough, and we'll be telling all our friends and family to request him by name if they ever plan a safari in Tanzania. Thank you, Lucky, for such an incredible journey!
Excellent Kilimanjaro Climb and Safari Experience
Our experience with L & D Lion Guides Safaris was excellent from beginning to end. I was the main leader of a Greek group, and the team was extremely professional, reliable, helpful and supportive throughout our entire trip.
With their experience and excellent organization, we successfully reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, and afterwards enjoyed a beautiful and unforgettable safari. Communication was easy, the service was very good, and we always felt that we were in safe and capable hands.
The guides and staff were friendly, attentive and willing to help with anything we needed. Their professionalism and local knowledge made a big difference to the success and enjoyment of our trip.
I would highly recommend L & D Lion Guides Safaris to anyone looking for a reliable and professional company for Kilimanjaro and safari experiences in Tanzania. They truly helped make our adventure a memorable one.

A Dream Come True in Tanzania
We had an amazing safari experience with Luki, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He was always punctual, polite, attentive, and genuinely willing to answer all of our questions throughout the trip. His knowledge of the wildlife, the environment, and animal behavior made every day of the safari even more interesting and memorable.
Every morning, Luki was there at the agreed time, with the vehicle spotless and perfectly prepared for another full day of adventure. His professionalism and attention to detail were remarkable, but what we appreciated most was his friendly and easygoing personality, which made us feel completely comfortable from the very beginning.
We already miss the great moments our group shared with him during those days. Luki was a very special part of our experience in Tanzania, and we truly hope to come back soon and have the chance to go on safari with him again.
Thank you for everything, Luki! Asante sana!

Professional organization and unforgettable experiences
Reliable guides who take care of every detail.
I have been on two trips with L & D Lion Guides Safaris as an escort for Czech tourists. The organization was always professional – from the communication before the trip, through reliable transfers, to the safari itself. The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and willing to adapt the program to the needs of the group. Guests appreciated not only the beauty of nature, but also the feeling of safety and care. A safari with them is a truly unforgettable experience, worth recommending.

I can’t wait to repeat this experience
I can’t wait to come back! This was truly one of the best experiences of my life.
Lukiano’s kindness, professionalism, and outstanding service made our safari an unforgettable part of our honeymoon. Thank you, Lukiano, for answering every question I had, for sharing your incredible knowledge, and for making every single day so special.
We spent our days searching for wildlife, laughing, learning about nature, and listening to the fascinating stories you shared with us. By the end of the trip, you were more than just our guide you had become a friend, and we will always remember you that way.
I recommend this experience with Lukiano not 100%, not 200%, but 300%! We are already counting the days until we can come back.
Thank you for everything. We will never forget this adventure!

Lukiano was the best guide - thoughtful, friendly, warm-hearted and so knowledgable!
We truly can't recommend Lukiano enough! Before we even arrived, he was so responsive and helpful in answering our questions about our safari and our travels to Tanzania generally. Throughout the safari, he put so much thought into the experience and shared so much knowledge and many stories with us. He was a greater driver and the vehicle was very comfortable, he was a delight to share meals with, and truly remarkable as a guide (it's clear he has so much experience!). We saw so, so many animals - way more than we expected to see! It was a phenomenal experience all around and we hope to one day travel with Lion Guides again!

Perfect organized, very warm-hearted
No matter which agency you book, the jeep, the landscape, the environment are identical. What makes your trip special and outstanding is the quality and communication with your guide. And this is where Lion Guides Safaris is outstanding. Lukiano organized our trip perfectly and fulfilled all our wishes. Our tour guide Melk was amazing, very warm-hearted and simply the perfect match for us. We would always recommend Lukiano and Melk and if we come to Tansania again, we will definitely do it with Lion Guides Safaris. Asante Sana ubarikiwe!
