Incredible safari with Lion King Adventures
Our experience with Lion King Adventures in Kenya was truly unforgettable! The team was professional, friendly, and attentive, making every part of the safari smooth and enjoyable.
Our guides were knowledgeable and passionate, giving us up-close encounters with Kenya’s stunning wildlife. The accommodations were also comfortable and perfectly placed in nature, adding to the magic of the trip.
From start to finish, their service was impeccable. My friends and I really loved it. I highly recommend Lion King Adventures for anyone looking for a remarkable Kenyan safari!

AN OUTSTANDING TEAM OF GUIDES
To evaluate the service fairly, I believe it’s important to divide the experience into different stages:
Guides and vehicles
Outstanding. David, Yusuf, and Muita, together with their assistants Jacob and Kelvin, were very professional, kind, and attentive.
Always willing to help, with knowledge and experience that turned the safari days into something truly unforgettable.
They were the best part of the trip and more than enough reason to choose the services of Lion King Adventures.
Purchase process – María
Excellent service. Very efficient, smooth, and professional. We exchanged many emails reviewing options and changes, and she always responded quickly and clearly. This part of the experience was very positive.
After-sales service – Rose
Unfortunately, problems arose. I detected a billing error of more than USD 9,000. After several days, I was told it was an “administrative error” and that I still had to pay it. We were 15 people, with flights already issued and only two months before departure, so I had no real alternative. I paid so as not to disappoint my grandchildren and because it was impossible to restart the process with another provider so close to the trip.
I requested a phone number for emergencies, which was provided, but I did not receive adequate responses.
THE COMPANY
After the trip, I had numerous contacts with their CEO, James Mlanga, who impressed me with his professionalism and sincere desire to resolve the issues.
After his intervention, my conclusion is that Lion King is a fully recommendable company.

My safari adventure far exceeded my high expections. Would recommend this company!
Lion King is about the traveler. Answered all our questions and was there for us.
Our Guide (Suleiman) was the best. He provided us with security, respect and his knowledge was awe inspiring.
My friend and I are not tall ladies and sometimes had difficulties stepping into the vehicle.
He stopped at a market and had the owners build a small stool to help us enter the vehicle easily.
What more could you ask for? I loved my 9 day safari adventure!

Good company, friendly and trustworthy
We had a seven day and six night safari in January 2026.
Our driver and guide Khalifa pickt us up from the hotel and explain everything.
Our guide was amazing, he knew a lot and was patience with us, and my two girls.
We did Ndutu, Ngorongoro crater, Tarangine NP and Lake manyara, the lake was a little dissapointed because we saw a lot of animals in the parks before. Our guide also told us that, he was very honest in everything so we knew what to expect.
The food during the safari was good.
Also the washroom options were available.
Sleeping in the sero tented camp was a adventure, and two nights there was more then enough haha.
We had a wonderful time and did see the big 5!
We recommend Lion King adventures and also our guide Khalifa.

Fantastic and perfect organized tour during the great migration
We booked a tour from Serengeti - Ndutu - Ngorongoro to Arusha.
It was a 4 days experience starting directly in Serengeti with a flight from Arusha to save time.
The communication was before the trip, during and after always perfect.
We knew what to expect and got a great experience of safari.

Went off without a hitch!
Our family are unanimous that this was the best. trip. ever.
Perhaps some was luck (low season, great weather), but the rest was Lion King and the perfect coordination at every step, good communication, perfect vehicle, lovely guide, incredible hotels, warm food every meal...
We had our own vehicle for 5 of us that was stocked with drinks and juices and sometimes snacks. It was cleaned every day and so homey! We spent 24 hours with just our family for over a week, unplugged, relaxed and happy.
Lion King was much (much) less expensive than using a U.S. company who then subcontracts to them and then takes the excess. Go directly to Lion King and trust that they'll get it all right, that's my advice.
We opted in for hiking Kilimanjaro for a day, which was perhaps the only thing that could have been improved by having a hotel that was closer to Moshi rather than in Arusha. And it was a longer and less interesting hike than we expected, but good exercise after the long flight.
The rest of the parks were wonderful, each different than the other. Our guide, Gilbert, was soft-spoken and very sweet, responsive, patient and thoughtful.

A Safari is a must with Lion King Adventures!
This group has been invaluable to us when planning our safari and we just wanted to highlight our amazing experience with Lion King Adventures.
We finished our safari yesterday and we wanted to write to tell you how the whole experience has been so unforgettable to us, especially as it has been for our honeymoon.
From the moment we were first in contact with Lion King Adventures, Maria was extremely helpful in organising our safari and accommodations and we thank her very much for assisting us with our questions.
Then we was in contact with Nickson, he was so helpful when answering our questions also and every email and communication was so clear for us to know exactly how the safari would work. We are very grateful to him for assisting us before we departed.
Finally we met our guide, Hamad. He has made this experience as our driver guide truly unforgettable. His expansive knowledge, careful driving and welcoming approach to us when we first met him really made our trip so amazing. He answered all our questions with so much detail and knowledge we were so impressed. He is also a very careful driver we felt so safe the whole time and he really went above and beyond to make sure we saw so many animals. Nothing was too much trouble for him and for that we are so grateful to him. He truly is a credit to the Lion King adventures team.
The bottles of wine which were personalised to us for our honeymoon trip were so special to us. It was a really thoughtful gift.
The accommodations we stayed in Kahawa House, Kitela Lodge and Nyota Luxury camp were so beautiful. We thought all the staff were so welcoming and the food was amazing at each place.
Asante Asante Asante Lion King Adventures. We hope to do another safari in the future for one of our wedding anniversary’s and will not hesitate to be in contact to book again with Lion King.
We simply cannot recommend them enough.

Adventurous experience
Our basic accomodation tour with Lion King adventures was absolutely great. Very helpful and informative guide showing and telling us about everything we would ask about and more. The 5 big was captured, and a lot more. We got what we expected and a lot more.
We recommend Lion King adventures

Exceptional Safari Experience Thanks to an Expert Guide
I had a wonderful experience with Lion King Adventures, and a huge part of that was due to my guide, Mwita.
From the beginning, Mwita took excellent care of me and made my safety a clear priority, which meant a lot as a solo traveler. He is extremely professional, calm, and reassuring. Mwita is originally from the Serengeti and knows the parks and surrounding areas incredibly well, which really showed throughout the trip.
His wildlife spotting skills are outstanding — he consistently spotted animals that I was missing. With nearly 20 years of guiding experience, it was obvious that he truly knows what he is doing and understands animal behavior, terrain, and timing extremely well.
Overall, I felt safe, well taken care of, and confident in his abilities the entire time. I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures, and especially Mwita, to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and professional safari guide.
