Five Perfect Days on a Private Safari with Guide Salehe
We chose Lion King Adventures for a Private 5-day Safari: 1 day in Tarangire National Park, 2 days in Serengeti National Park, 1 day in the Ngorongoro Crater, and 1 day in Lake Manyara National Park (including a Walking Safari).
From the very first contact, Lion King Adventures offered us an excellent proposal and answered all our questions promptly. They made us feel comfortable and confident about booking with them. We made the payment via Wise, and everything went perfectly.
We arranged our own accommodation in Arusha (one night before and one night after the safari), and Lion King had no issue adapting the proposal and the pick-up/drop-off accordingly.
Now, about our guide, Salehe Lionging — we highly recommend him. He has been a guide for over 10 years, and that experience truly shows in his knowledge and confidence throughout the safari.
He clearly knew the terrain very well, drove safely, and always knew where to take us within the parks. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals — many of which we would never have seen without him.
It was also very important to us that Salehe showed great respect for nature and the animals, as well as genuine care for his fellow guides on the road during the entire trip. Thank you, Salehe, for the amazing experience!
Our vehicle (number 1 – Mufasa) was always spotless, with unlimited fresh water and several other drinks available throughout the safari.
The lunches during the safari were excellent and served in generous portions. Salehe always found great spots for us to enjoy peaceful meals surrounded by nature.
The selected accommodations (Olea Farm Lodge and Embalakai Serengeti Camp) also exceeded our expectations. A special mention to the friendliness and atmosphere at Embalakai — truly memorable.
We will never forget this trip. Asante sana, or in Portuguese: muito obrigado!

Best Safari tour operator in Tanzania
We surely recommend safari guide Leonard. His patience, experience and professional knowledge about animals were incredible. We have spent 4 day safari suited for our needs. Leonard was always open for every change in the plan. Our game drives last whole day from early morning till the last moment when we can stay in National Parks. We decided to take a flight from Zanzibar directly to Serengeti which was incredible experience from start to end. We spent 2 days in Serengeti looking for Great Migration. Then we drove to Ngorongoro for one day trip and end in Tarangire. We have seen whole Big Five. Everyday we have delicious meals and two surprises through the trip when we eat a lunch surrounded by wildest nature in the world.
We will always remember best moments like watching lions walking through Serengeti in the sunrise lights, sleeping in the luxury camp surrounded by sounds of nature and wild animals, staying inside the big heard of tousands of Wildbeest and Zebras.
From the beginning we plan everything directly with Lion King Adventures by ourselves.

Wonderful experience once’s in a lifetime
From day one we were treated like Kings! Our guide Enock was exceptionally interesting because of his knowledge of the fauna and flora of the wild. All accommodations were exactly as described and much more. Our trip was a real unique experience thanks to the Lion King team that organized it perfectly like we asked.

An Experience We’ll Be Talking About Forever!
Our safari with Lion King Adventures through Northern Tanzania was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we were greeted on arrival to the final farewell, every detail was thoughtfully planned and expertly executed.
Each destination—Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Crater—was breathtaking. The Serengeti in particular was jaw-dropping: endless golden grasslands and wildlife at every turn.
Our accommodations were equally unforgettable. The tented camps were exceptionally stunning. Falling asleep to the distant roar of lions and waking up to zebra grazing near our tent felt surreal in the best way.
Lion King Adventures delivered an experience that was far more than a safari. It was immersive, inspiring, deeply moving—and incredibly fun. If you’re considering a safari in Northern Tanzania, this is the company you want. We can’t recommend them highly enough.
See you next time, Lion King Adventures — we can’t wait to come back!

Honeymoon Dream Safari
We chose Lion King Safari for our two-week honeymoon in Tanzania.
From the very beginning, we felt completely taken care of. The team at Lion King gave us excellent advice, listened carefully to our personal wishes, and designed an itinerary that fit us perfectly. Throughout the entire trip, their communication was fast, warm, and reliable — we always felt supported and well looked after.
The lodges and hotels they selected were absolutely beautiful, each with its own charm and wonderful service. Our safari guide, Suleiman, was fantastic: incredibly kind, a truly skilled driver, and extremely knowledgeable. He showed us so many animals and taught us a lot about wildlife and nature in Tanzania. Thanks to him, every game drive felt special and memorable.
The food throughout the two weeks was also consistently very good — another highlight of the experience.
We are super happy and will remember our amazing honeymoon for a long, long time. Thank you so much, Lion King Safari, for making our trip unforgettable!

What an amazing Experience to last in my memory for the rest of my life
From start to end our tour was organised really well. We were collected on arrival in Arusha by Charles and taken to our first hotel. From then on in Tanzania we were looked after by Haruni. Our safari experience was just magical, Haruni made sure we were comfortable and saw everything on our bucket list including the big 5. One thing which was lovely was the warm lunches everyday as opposed to the lunch boxes other tours seemed to have, it was great having a hot lunch with pasta or rice everyday after being out all morning. The communication while arranging the trip was spot on and even when we got to Zanzibar the office made sure our transfers were all arranged. There were lots of tour companies to choose from so we were really pleased we had chosen Lion King as they were ethical and the guide was really knowledgeable.

I highly recommend
I recently returned from an unforgettable safari in Tanzania, and the entire experience was absolutely excellent. From start to finish, the team was caring, attentive, and truly committed to making sure every moment was memorable. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five—each sighting more incredible than the last.
The accommodations throughout the trip were comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully prepared, offering a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Every detail, from the game drives to the lodging, exceeded my expectations.
I highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an extraordinary and well-organized experience in Tanzania. It was truly the trip of a lifetime and worth every penny!

Extremely professional, the safety & satisfaction of the guest being their priority
We had a fantastic experience on our private safari with Lion King. The planning to execution was handled professionally by the team as given in the itinerary. No room for surprise or panic. Nickson Anderson was the first point of contact from the team's side & I was really impressed by his approach & answering all my queries patiently. Our guide Leonardo was also a fantastic & knowledgeable young guide. We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 days safari with no glitches whatsoever. I approached Lion King based on online reviews & they truly are a very reliable company for best service & value for money. We are glad we chose them as our tour Operator for our first safari to Africa. We came back with a lot of happy memories on our amazing 6 day trip
