Experience of a lifetime
My husband and I had a marvelous experience with Lion King team. Very professional, we learnt a lot of things thanks to Khalifa, saw all the animals we wanted to discover. Everything was perfect. When we arrived in Kili airport I had a bad surprise because my luggage was missing and Anna took care of everything! Thanks again

It was everything we hoped for. Our guide was so helpfull ,positive, full of good energy , most experienced and patient . We believe that made a huge difference. The hotel we stayed was cozy and unique. All in all this tour was a lifetime experience for us. Recommend it to everyone.

Excellent service, fast response, outstanding guide, totally recommended
From the moment I asked for a quote for a safari in Tanzania, the team of Lion King were very kind and responsive, explaining everything with details. They helped me before and during our trip, always with the best disposition. Once in the safari everything went perfect. Our guide Saleh was very kind, always asking if we needed anything, explaining us everything we asked, he really knows a lot regarding history in Tanzania, animals and has an incredible sight. We always managed to take us to the best spots to watch animals.
The hotels and lodges booked by the company are among the best and are totally worth it. I really recommend booking your safari experience in Tanzania with Lion King, you will no regret it.

Amazing experience with an incredible, flexible guide!
Everything about our safari experience with Lion King Adventures was amazing. From our first inquiry email (we had a response within 8 hours) to being dropped off at the airport, Lion King Safari made every aspect of our safari amazing. Our safari (6 day/5 night) was tailor made for us. They kept in contact with us via email up until the day before we arrived. We were picked up on time at the airport (they never kept us waiting!). Everyone we communicated with was super nice and friendly! Khalifa, our safari guide, was incredible, always professional and able to answer every single one of our questions. James, the owner of Lion King Adventures, knows what he’s doing. His experience in the industry shows as he chooses his guides carefully and keeps itineraries manageable and flexible. Every park we visited was beautiful and offered something unique. We were lucky enough to see the Big 5, but also enjoyed learning about each park and the different parts of Tanzania. We would hands down recommend booking a safari with them and we hope to book another one with them in the future! Thanks James for giving us an experience we will NEVER forget!

5 days safari- a lifetime experience
Although I initially contacted many tour operators I very soon concluded that lion king was the best.
The communication with them was excellent. Easy and into the point trying to answer the many questions I had. Although we were talking for some time and the days were pretty close to the safari date lion king never tried to push or claim the payment instead they were trying their best to facilitate the requests that me and my friend had. They were flexible and helpful with questions and needs we had and not only in regards to the safari.I also appreciated the fact that they indicated their opinion. We were told that Tarangire was not very attractive in February and many other tour operators agreed with our initial proposal of skipping tarangire whereas -thankfully-lion king insisted that we should visit it. Is very important to feel that you can trust somebody you have only talked to through emails/phone and that you are supposed to transfer such a considerable amount of money.
And Lion King excelled in that.
During the arrangement phase I talked with Wilberd through emails and James on the phone. Both very kind and with the type of attitude that ensures that everything will be fine.
And the day of the safari arrived. And Salehe -our guide- came to pick us from our hotel.
Salehe turned out to be the superstar of the trip. Kind, respectful and trying his best to meet all our needs and make us feel comfortable. The car was always clean even after a very busy game drive day ! Salehe would answer all our questions and he was like a live Wikipedia for anything in regards to plants, animals etc.
The fact that it was a private tour made it very easy for us to adjust our game drive plans on the way based on what we liked the most.
We visited all big national parks (tarangire, Serengeti central, ngorongoro/ndotu, the crater and lake manyara). They were all AMAZING in a different way. Different landscape and animals. We also got to see the migration of the wildbeast in ndotu.
As a personal opinion if you only have 4 days and need to skip 1 of the above I would say lake manyara, but that is only a personal preference and maybe is dependable on the time of the year.
Salehe was very good in spotting the animals from very far away and would bring us so close to the them that we couldn't wish for more.
We had middle range accommodation. We stayed at elleins tree lodge for 2 nights and in self contained tents for the other 2. All accommodation types were excellent in their own way for what they were supposed to offer.Food was also very nice.
Salehe was also a very good driver which is very important considering how much time is spent inside the car.
I highly recommend Lion King adventures and Salehe for the safari trip in northern Tanzania.
