from beginning (booking) to end (after the safari) I have nothing but positive reviews about LKA.
Communication: I have been most impressed by Anna, the person in charge of bookings, she was most efficient and helpful, very patient when I needed to change many things on our itinerary as we were 4 people traveling from different locations. She was prompt in replying to my emails and cannot commend her highly enough. She came to greet us the day of our arrival in Arusha and again on our last day, she was most gracious.
Lastly I have to add that everything went according to schedule without hiccups, not that we would have objected to some things going wrong, but they didn't and we were left with a wonderful memory of Tanzania.
Expectations: the trip far exceeded our expectations, I went with my family and we found the experience magical and memorable. My kids said it's the most memorable holiday ever!!
Safari tour: First I would like to thank our tour guide and Driver Swalehe, a very exceptional driver, very unassuming and pleasant. Extremely competent and knowledgeable. Very attentive without being overbearing, my family appreciated him a great deal and have wonderful memories of our safari, we did actually see all the animals described in the books plus more events on the way. He was always very patient and willing to do whatever it takes to give us a wonderful experience.

trip of a lifetime, amazing team from organisation to the guide and adventure
I did a lot of looking around into which safari company to chose in Tanzania as there are so many options. Lion King Adventures stood out from the crowd and provided my husband and I a truly unforgettable experience. The team before the trip was very efficient with emails and organization to make sure we got the exact experience that we wanted. Everything ran smoothly from the airport pick up in Arusha to the airport drop of in Kilimanjaro. Our guide Ozzie was easy going and friendly, he was also very knowledgeable and made sure we had an amazing experience. Ozzie even took us on the long mission up to nearly the boarder of Kenya to chase the migration - it was indeed a loooong day but so happy we got to see it. Yousif our cook was awesome too, he made beautiful food and was always happy and smiling. When we stopped in the town at the end of the trip, on the way to the airport, Anne the owner greeted us to introduce herself and ask how our trip was - she was really lovely. All in all we had an such an awesome trip, thanks Lion King Adventures for making unforgettable memories for my husband and I :)

Absolutely amazing experience!!
I did a 6 day mid-range safari with Lion King Adventures and our driver Saleh through Tarangiri, northern/central Serengeti, and ngorongoro crater. It was absolutely a trip of a lifetime. Saleh was our wonderful and extremely kind knowledgeable driver and he in an absolute pleasure!! He knew all about the animals and the region and was happy to answer as many questions as you had. He knew where all the animals were and we were able to see the big five, including a rare sighting of a pair of rhinos! He took care of all the paperwork with regards to entry/exit permits etc, he is an excellent driver and the car was well equipped with blankets, snacks, water, sodas, and even beer, as well as cleaned and tidied up on a daily basis. Tanzania is an amazingly beautiful country and it is so great to have a native Tanazanian to show you around. We even learned all the animal names in Swahili! Anna who works in the office and organized the trip was also excellent, and she even came to the hotel to welcome us before our safari and at the end to make sure we had a good trip. Everything was extremely well organized and we didn’t have any issues the entire trip. The accommodations were perfect, the food was excellent, and our transfers to/from airports/hotels were on time and professional. Lion King even organized our trip to Zanzibar after the safari and organied all the accommodation and transfers. The trip exceeded my expectations and I would highly highly recommend Lion king adventures to anyone who wants to go on safari, and request Saleh as your driver!!
Fantastic experience
Saleh is an amazing tour guide. We saw all the animal we wanted to see. The accommodation was fantastic. Anna met us and welcomed us on the first day. Highly recommended. Dont forget a jacket, it can get cold at times!

Excellent experience
A really excellent experience. We arranged this tour very easily, our personal assistant Anna was extremely kind, available, useful, she has always quickly answered to all our questions and requests and she also was very kind and wanted to personally meet us in Arusha.
During the safari we had a wonderful experience. Our driver and guide Salehe was very nice, ready to satisfy all our requests, funny, kind and polite. The same was our cook Karim, always ready to cook different dishes and very kind in preparing something different when I had some stomach problems.
Super positive experience, very reliable tour agency, kind and highly recommended.

Great safari! Every wish was granted!
I travelled with my sister and both our boyfriend/husband. We were a bit complicated case as me and my boyfriend wanted to do budget safari and my sister and her husband - mid-range. Lion King Adventures was the only agency that was able to organize this for us, so that we can be close to each other and make it work! Anna did a great job tailoring our 6 days 5 nights safari to our wishes. We visited all parks we wanted - Serengeti, Ngorogoro crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. Tarangire is definitely a must! We saw there the most concentration of animals.
Our guide Saleh was exquisite - he knew where all the animals are and we were able to see the Big 5! Highly recommended - he is a very good driver and excellent guide.
We had a really great time, lots of memories and great pictures. We also enjoyed very much all our meals, thanks to Yusuph.
Thank you all for all the effort you put in our adventure!

Unforgettable
We did a 5 day safari with Lion King, lodges and tented camp, to 4 people (2 adults and 2 teenagers) in Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
The organization was perfect : the accommodations were of good quality, as were the meals. Everything was very well planned without any bad surprises. Even a last-minute lodge change was handled perfectly by Anna.
All our requests during the preparation of the safari have been satisfied. Anna, has perfectly met our expectations. She even welcomed us on our first evening in Arusha, to introduce our program.
So we went on a 5 day safari with our French speaking guide Salim. We could see a wide variety of animals, scenes of animal life, landscapes and lights. The 4 * 4 was comfortable, big, clean and well driven by Salim. We always had fresh drinks available.
Salim accompanied us perfectly during this stay. He allowed us to see as many animals as he could immediately recognize. He was very friendly, smiling, available and had answers to our questions about animals and about his country. It has adapted to our demands, especially to achieve morning game-drives or at sunset, and to allow us to take pictures in the best possible conditions.
We are fully satisfied with the services. We therefore strongly recommend Lion King Adventures and our guide Salim for all French speakers who are uncomfortable in English (like us!)
Thank you all for this unforgettable trip

Incredible 5 Day Safari, could not fault it
We have just finished a 5 day 'budget safari' with Lion King Adventures and loved every minute of it! The staff were welcoming, friendly and very accommodating. Even though we had difficult dietary requirements, we always had plenty of incredible food and didn't need to worry about going hungry! Our guide, Salim, was very nice and knowledgeable, he was able to answer any questions we had and tell us exactly what the animals we were looking at were. We were lucky enough to see so many amazing animals and Salim always ensured that we had the best view of them. We saw all big 5 as well as a very close view of cheetahs. Our guides always seemed the best prepared out of all the tour groups around us. Lion King Adventures arranged pick up and drop off from the airport, which was very helpful. They also helped us to arrange a day tour to a waterfall and markets with Amani cultural tours, this was a great way to experience the local people and environment. We are so happy with our experience and can't wait to recommend Lion King Adventures to our family and friends.

Amazing guides for the Safari you expect
Our guide Sudi ans driver David were wonderful! Always smiling and happy. Sudi was explaining many things about the animals and the places visited. They were both very patient when we asked them to stop to take pictures (even if we already saw 260 zebras haha). They really let us enjoy the parks and we felt it was definitely our own safari. They never rushed us and that was so pleasant. On the camp, during the diner, they always were nice and teaching us some swahili and song. Wonderful atmosphere! And what to say about the cook, Yussuf. Amazing food very well prepared, even the lunch boxes were delicious !
Anna was always available in case of any trouble.
To finish, i highly recommend Lion King Adventures and would organise my next tour with them if i had to!
