Amazing Safari
We just returned home from a wonderful vacation in Tanzania that included a four-day safari with Lion King Adventures.
From the minute James (our driver) picked us up at the Kilimanjaro airport we felt very welcomed and felt he was going to make our experience an unforgettable one, as it was! We spent the first night in Arusha before starting day one for our safari. We recommend that instead of arriving early and starting the safari right away.
Day one we went to Tarangire National Park where we saw many animals right away. James was very good about asking if we wanted to stop for pictures and he waited patiently until we were ready to move on. He knows a lot about all animals and always told us interesting facts about the parks and the animals. My husband loves birds and he knew the name of every bird my husband pointed to. He has a book about wildlife in Africa and showed us the pictures of what we saw.
Day 2 we drove to Serengeti National park. Amazing! James spotted animals way before we could see them because many are camouflaged.
Day 3 a few game drives in Central Serengeti then drove to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to spend the night at the hotel and be ready for the last day.
Day 4 visit the crater (caldera as James explained) until lunch time and then drive back to Kilimanjaro airport.
We highly recommend booking your safari with Lion King Adventures. You will love it!

Unforgettable getaway with nature and a great time the with family!
Everything was perfectly planned and our guide James was fabulous. The service was excellent and we always felt very well taken care of. Everyone was very nice. James knew all the great places to take us to and we felt like we had the best guide when we were amongst all the other tours. He always found a way to get our car to the best spot so we had the best view of the animals. The resorts we stayed in were truly remarkable.

Safari in Tanzania
In late July 2017, my family of four went on Safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti parks with Lion King Adventures in Northern Tanzania. We were very satisfied with our experience. We stayed in the parks for 4 days, which was the perfect duration for what we wanted to do. We saw all sorts of animals including lions, buffalos, a leopard, cheetahs, giraffes and much more. We were even lucky enough to experience a lion hunt, albeit unsuccessful, lions mating and feeding on a buffalo carcass. The guide was knowledgeable of the fauna, flora and ecology of the parks. He was fun, courteous, willing to stop at our request and find the best places to look at the animals. The lodging places suggested by lion king adventures were great and allowed us to experience a variety of accommodations from tent camps to high-end hotel lodges.

Once in a lifetime adventure
Our experience with Lion King was perfect. Anna was great and helped us to organize a trip specified to our wants. We enjoyed every aspect of the safari and felt taken care of every step of the way. The lodges and tented camps (more like glamping than actually camping!) that Anna picked for us were everything she promised.
Our guide and driver, James, went above and beyond for us, truly making the trip.
Our only regret is that we did not stay longer!

African safari experience at its best
We booked very last minute and Anna Elle's is all the way. Communication was easy amd fast. Our guide Kidaisho showed all the best sights of Tarangiri Serengeti and Ngorogoro. They picked beautiful hotels for us as well as a very authentic tented camp where we went "glamping" (glamorous camping)

Amazing safari adventure!
From very beginning of the tour to the end everything was very smooth. Our guide Saleh, was a really friendly guy and has perfect vision to detect animals in the field from long long distance! We visited tarengiri, Serengeti and ngorongoro. We have seen much more animals than we had anticipated! This include lions feeding, hunting and mating , which are not very easy to see in a short safari tour. In addition, the lodges that we have stayed were excellent! Inside the nature with great service. Also another guide (James) was with us on the last day of safari! Very knowledgeable and cheerful guy! Long story short, lion king adventures made our safari experience great. I totally recommend them !

A Wonderful Experience
My fiancee and I had a wonderful time with Lion King Adventures. Everything was handled seamlessly, and it was clearly a very well organized operation. Our driver James was outstanding, extremely personable and knowledgeable regarding the wildlife and plant life. He was also, importantly, an excellent driver! :)
I would definitely re-book with Lion King Adventures in the future if I find myself back in the area.

Excellent experience and great value
We thoroughly enjoyed our safari with Lion King. They were quite accommodating throughout the booking process and during the safari itself. We stayed in lovely lodges with good food, and our vehicle was perfect for animal viewing. Our guide (James) spoke English well and was very knowledgeable about the animals, where to find them, and how to interpret their behavior. His style was relaxed yet efficient. We saw every animal we had hoped to see (and many more!) and simply had an excellent time. We recommend them very highly!

Wonderful Safari Experience!
This was our second time to Africa and our second time on Safari -- they did not disappoint! We only had 2 days to spend on this trip for Safari, and they were able to meet our short time needs with still a very worthwhile experience. Jeff (the Director) picked us up at our hotel in Arusha in the morning -- he already had our Safari-mates in the truck -- two British brothers who were great to get to know -- we then picked up two other great Safari-mates along the way for the second day! Our Driver / Guide, James, was amazing! Even though he must do this trip day in and day out, he was exuberant to see the animals and so knowledgeable about any animal or plant or bird around. He spotted most animals way before we would have (if we would have seen them to begin with!) and had a wonderful sense of humor. Most of all -- for myself--- I am not a big fan of driving up (or down) mountainous curvy roads and James made me feel so safe due to his obvious experience (15 years) and not going crazy fast on the sketchy roads. He was a professional through and through. Between the Lake Manyere Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, we saw Elephants, Wildebeests, Gifraffes (from afar), Hippos, Zebras, Hyenas, Gazelle and most importantly -- 6 Lions!! Overall, for a 2 day Safari, it was well worth the money and I would recommend for sure!!

Greatest adventure and outstanding service!
Our guide, James, did everything in his power to guarantee that we would see the big 5, and so we did!
The pick up time was perfectly on time, the car we used was safe as a rock, the food provided was delicious and our guide, one of the most experienced in the field, with 20 years of safaris on his back, knew how to answer all our questions and give us extra insight on the wildlife we were observing.
Also the price-quality ratio was exceptional compared to other saafris we heard of. Will definitely recommend it!!
