Amazing Experience
We had the best honeymoon traveling in Tanzania with Lion King adventures. From the start they handled everything for us, all the bookings and logistics, we just had to approve and book our flights. When we arrived in Tanzania we met our guide and driver for the week Goffrey, who was the best! He was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals, plants and land. We learned so much from him in the week we spent on safari. Throughout our week with Goffery we didn't have to think about anything! From his driving us all around and making sure we were comfortable and safe, to us always having water. We loved that our meals were included on the safari and didn't even have to think about lunch! Lion King did a wonderful job booking our accommodations and listening to what we wanted. Each place we stayed at was extremely clean, staff was nice and we felt safe! After a week on safari we went to Zanzibar and we continued to be taken care of. We could never have booked such a wonderful honeymoon without Lion King! We hope this is the first of many trips to Tanzania with Lion King.

The best safari operator
We had a beautiful and exiting 3 days tour. Our guide Haruni was very professional. He saw animals behind every bush. We had a lot if fun, great animal views, and good food. He drove secure through all the sometimes difficult roads. All the organisation was excellent and flexible from the very first beginning. I can recomend Lion King Adventures to everyone. Also a big hugg to Florida, who assisted us perfectly from the office.

An unforgettable safari experience with Lion King Adventure
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lion King Adventures. From the very first enquiry right through to the end of our trip, the communication was fantastic. They were more than happy to work with us to create a safari that suited exactly what we wanted. Every step was clearly explained, everything was incredibly well organised, and we always felt that we were in safe hands.
The lodges we stayed in were absolutely incredible, particularly the Nyota lodges. Staying in places like that was genuinely a dream come true and made the whole experience even more special. The safari vehicles were also brilliant, with comfortable seats, charging points and cold drinks available throughout the day. All the national park permits and passes were organised in advance, so we never had to worry about the logistics and could simply enjoy every moment.
A particularly special mention, and the biggest thank you of all, has to go to our guide, Geofrey. We really cannot thank him enough for giving us the most unbelievable week. The amount of hard work, care and effort he put into making sure we had the best possible experience was fantastic. He was an amazing driver and so knowledgeable about the wildlife, animals and national parks. He was always punctual, and we knew exactly what the plans were for the following day before heading to bed each evening.
He made sure we had the opportunity to see the Big Five, and a photographer myself, he was always so patient and happy to give me the time I needed to get the shots I wanted. He genuinely went above and beyond, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Most importantly, he made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip. By the end of the week, it honestly felt less like being driven around by a guide and more like travelling with a friend. It was a real pleasure getting to know him, and Lion King Adventures are incredibly lucky to have him as part of their team. We wish him all the very best for the future.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us, and one that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We only wish we could have stayed longer! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. Hopefully, if we’re fortunate enough, one day we’ll be back.
Thank you to everyone at Lion King Adventures, and especially to Geofrey, for memories we’ll treasure forever.

First Rate - Beyond expectations
We booked with Lion King Adventures for our 2026 safari. The trip was amazing and our trusted guide and driver, Salehe, was absolutely superb. Our trip lasted 11 days in October and covered Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Highlands and crater and Lake Manyara National Park. The accommodation was excellent and luxurious in places and all the Lion King staff were really kind and cheerful. We felt very well looked after. More to say about Salehe. He was always cheerful and patient and had a very good knowledge of the wildlife and was well equipped to answer all our questions due to his wealth of knowledge. A true professional with a great sense of humour and very positive attitude. We were very lucky to have him. He was excellent in locating all the game, for we saw all the great animals of Africa in great number and up close, including the elusive cheetahs and black and white rhinos. Salehe is your man if you want to find them. The other thing we noticed is how well Salehe handled himself with the other drivers and in all aspects of the trip. He really made this a smooth and well-run safari and everything organized to a tee.

Very organized and attentive
Perfect Safari trip in the best parks in Tanzania. Experienced guide, great driver (Fredy) and very good photographer who accompanied us throughout the trip (Baraka). We got the best sights of the wild life. Elephants, Giraffes, Lions, Leopards, Zebras, Buffalos, Cheetahs and Rhinos…. All from a very close distance. From organizing the trip to monitoring throughout the expedition, the Lion King team showed why it is one of the best in Africa for Safari. Sensational experience that my whole family (my wife and I with 2 children aged 6 and 10) will remember forever!! Karibu Sana Lion King!!!

Lion King Adventures ROCK!
We just returned from an amazing experience on a safari in Tanzania, thanks to Lion King Adventures! It was truly an unforgettable experience. Lion King Adventures were incredibly professional from the first contact to the very end when we were dropped off at the airport. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Pendo, Naurey, were our first contacts and they were professional and always quickly responded to our questions. Frederick and Jackson were incredible guides! So patient, knowledgeable, funny, and made sure we saw up close all of the animals we dreamed of seeing. Our lodging was super clean and very comfortable, with tasty meals served on terraces overlooking beautiful landscapes. If I could, I would return in a heartbeat.

Yes, we saw the animales, thanks to the guide, but...
We booked a 8 days safarie and were going to stay in lodges and one night in a tent, but ended up 3 days in tents with bad food and no electricity for a shaver og hairdryer. We paid 3500 dollar each, or more, and expected more luxery. We should get some money back. This was not nice putting us in primitive tents. I will not recomend your Company to anyone.

Posted on Nov 11, 2026Dear Kjerstin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that aspects of your safari experience left you disappointed. Following your review, we contacted you directly by email to offer an opportunity to discuss your concerns and better understand your experience. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response.
Having reviewed the booking and how the safari was delivered, we would like to clarify a few points.
The itinerary agreed by your group included three nights in lodges and four nights in tented camps, two of which were at a seasonal migration camp in Kogatende. Due to their remote wilderness location, these camps have limited electricity and cannot always accommodate high-powered appliances such as hairdryers. Looking back, we recognise that we could have communicated these limitations more clearly before your safari.
At the time of booking, some originally suggested accommodation was already fully booked. Rather than compromise on standards, we arranged alternative properties of a higher category. These changes were agreed by your group and we upgraded three of the seven nights, representing additional value of approximately USD 340 per person.
We would also like to correct the cost stated in your review. Our booking records confirm that the amount paid was USD 2,890 per person, rather than USD 3,500 quoted in your review.
Regarding the food, your guide confirmed that no concerns about meal quality were raised during the safari. Had we known, we would have been able to address them at the time.
We are genuinely sorry that you were disappointed. However, having considered the agreed itinerary, accommodation provided, additional upgrades and amount paid, we believe the safari was delivered in accordance with the booking and that additional value was provided. On this basis, we do not feel a refund would be appropriate.
Your feedback has prompted us to review how we communicate facilities at our seasonal migration camps to ensure guests have a clear understanding of what to expect.
Thank you again for sharing your perspective and we wish you all the very best.

The most amazing experience. Top tier
We were treated like royalty in every interaction. Our guide, Enok, was so amazing. He had so much knowledge about the animals and land. We learned so much. Laureen at Rift Valley was so kind and cheerful. I had high expectations for this trip, and it was soooo much better. I cannot say enough great things about this company. From our first contact to the last one was perfect, there was nothing I would change!!
