5 stars for Lemomo Lesaito
Lemomo was great from the start until the end of our trip. His patience and effort were flawless, we got to see some great wildlife thanks to his great driving, we also felt safe on the roads as he took his time. We would recommend Lemomo and to go on this trip.

Great Planning
We loved Lion King Adventures. We told them exactly what we wanted to do and see and they really delivered. Initial communication was great and timely. One feedback I would give is that better response would be encouraged while patrons are on the trip. We never received a response for an emailed request. Overall our trip was absolutely amazing!!! Our tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. Transportation was timely and safe. The selection of lodges and hotels were top tier. We were extremely satisfied. Thanks for making our trip one to remember!

Competent and trustful operator for a dreamcast safari
We contacted Lion King Adventure for a quote to have a 7-day safari in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro areas. We worked alongside Elia and Florida to prepare our trip. We selected Lion King upon recommandation and have not regretted it: they were in the same price range as the other we had contacted, but proposed accommodation that seems to be a bit higher in standard. Communication with Elia and Florida was usually flawless with the team through WhatsApp, which is convenient.
We had a last-minute problem with a person of our team having her flight delayed by 24h so Lion King had to re-arrange a chauffeur and a hotel night for her, which was done properly.
The accommodation were really nice, all lodges and hotels were really comfortable. Lion King has its own brand of lodges "Nyota" and even if we could not attend the Nyota Serengeti for renovation reasons, we got moved to another high-quality accommodation, with outstanding views. We were among the first guests of Nyota Rift valley, which is absolutely stunning with, here again, extremely warm and welcoming staff.
Speaking of people, our guide Djabiri was absolutely amazing too, he highly contributed in the success of our safari: he gave us advice regarding the timetable, gave us some time when we needed, was really knowledgable regarding wildlife and local customs. We got lucky enough to see the Big Five thanks to him, as well as a few other hard-to-spot animals. We just regretted not to be able to see the Great Migration, but we were a bit too late for that and the gnous were a bit too far away in Northern Serengeti for the round-trip to be worth it! We'll have to come back and will definitely contact Lion King Adventures to do so!

Knowledgeable guides and good communication led to an incredible experience
My fiancé and I just finished an incredible 5-day safari with our guide Geofrey and Lion King Adventures. We unfortunately arrived a full day late due to a missed connection and Lion King and Geofrey made it seamless and easy to re-structure our itinerary. Geofrey knew all the places to go, was prompt and attentive, and made sure we saw the best spots for our interests. I would recommend Lion King Adventures, and especially our guide Geofrey, for your trip to Tanzania and for a safari. An experience that can’t be beat!

Friendly super organized with highly qualified and thoughtful staff.
We booked a once in a lifetime trip. Firstly a safari in Tanzania encompassing the Serengeti., Ngorongo crater and Lake Tarangire. The followed by a trip to Zanzibar
The support provided by Lion King Adventuees was unbelievably good. Our head office contact Nickson was wonderfully responsive despite the 8 hour time difference. He worked with us to ensure our complicated agenda and logistics were handled seamlessly and efficiently before and during the vacation. He is a fist rate representative of Lion King providing unparalleled service
Our tour guide was Jackson. Similarly Jackson was a perfect guide. He is thoughtful highly knowledgeable about the birds, animals and geology of the area. He was always on point to answer any of our queries no matter how trivial. Furthermore I still can’t believe how he would drive so safely through difficult roads while simultaneously being able to spot birds and animals hundreds of yards away. Jackson was a great guide for us, super reliable from start to finish. I cannot recommend him highly enough
Lion King were great to work with. Phenomenally high standards of service from back office through to guides. I’m limited to a 5 star review but would have gone higher if allowed

A magical safari
Impeccable organization with our guide Amani who accompanied us throughout this safari in excellent conditions. His availability, his kindness and his professionalism allowed us this exploration in the best conditions. The hotels and camp chosen by Lion King were perfect. We are already nostalgic for this fabulous trip...

An operator that delivers on its promises
I can say that I contacted at least 15 tour operators. I spoke with all of them, asked for quotes, requested changes, compared quotes, and checked what was included.
Lion King ended up offering quality at an acceptable price. And they were always available to change the tour and hotels according to all my requests.
In our case, we did a 5-day safari, and we always had the same driver (Murshid). We were a group of 4 people, and the price was €1334 per person. It ends up being a high price, but it could cost more; we always stayed in good accommodations, and the car is good (everyone uses the same model).
I don't think I would change anything about our safari. We managed to see the Big Five. We didn't have any incidents. Everything went smoothly!
In the end, thank you, Lion King and Murshid, for this adventure!

Go with Lion King
Communication from the beginning was excellent, they updated us about changes and were even checking in to be sure we had Visas. They gave us a final itinerary and the travel in country matched this exactly. Everything was also on time! I thought the value of the food (there was SO much) and lodging was excellent. We always had water without having to worry, they even brought wine and beer for us on safari!
The safari itself was beyond amazing. We did 4 days and thought that was perfect. We did a lot of driving but were in excellent hands with our safari guide, Tembe. Would rebook with him or recommend to anyone going on safari! He always kept us updated on the plan and where the next washroom stop would be. The roads are rough but his driving skills were excellent and safe for these conditions.
We saw so many animals and our guide Tembe was able to find animals I didn’t even know were there until he pointed them out. He was able to take a side road and track down a cheetah for us to see, that hopped on the back of the car! He was knowledgeable about the roads of the parks, shared incredible knowledge of the wildlife as well as ecosystem and country culture. We were so appreciative for this and learned a lot. Also for the safety, attention, patience, and kindness showed by all the lion king staff!
Also, the driver who picked us from the airport, Justin was very kind and also shared knowledge about the country culture and personal details. Would highly recommend. He was the first person we met in country and offered a warm kind welcome!
Thank you lion king, Justin and Tembe

Breathtaking must see adventure
Wow, just wow! Our experience with Lion King was amazing from beginning to end. The staff was patient and responsive from the beginning, even with flight delays and unexpected world events. They were able to accommodate the dates and logistics with our Kili climb. When Justin picked us up late at night from the airport, his warmth and welcome helped me know we were in the right place.
Our guide Temba was the star of the safari. He was expedient and very knowledgeable. He helped us find all the game we hoped to see, leopards, cheetahs, lions. He was very helpful with my photography goals. Temba also share a lot about the local and Masai cultures that we loved learning about. Truly appreciated what he brought to the trip.
The accommodations were stunning. We camped in luxurious tents in the Serengeti and got to hear the hippos singing at night. We visited a Masai village and ended with a stay at the Escarpment lodge with a breathtaking view of sunset over Lake Manayara. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate, this is the company to book with.
