Amazing experience with an excellent operator
5/5

We had an amazing experience with Lion King Adventures and our guide Joseph.

All communication before the tour was excellent, very clear and helpful in planning our trip.

The tour itself was an amazing experience, amazing guide and accommodations. We always felt safe and Joseph made sure we have a good time and was very knowledgeable about the country, parks and wildlife.

We recommended our family and friends if the consider to do a safari to make sure to book it with Lion king adventures.

Thanks for an amazing experience

Excellent Company - Excellent Safari
5/5

I cannot praise Lion King enough. From dealing with Edward and Rose in the office and Ozzie our guide/driver on the safari, the service was brilliant.

Booking was simple and efficient and everything went smoothly, even when we missed our connecting flight due to delays, a quick whatsapp message to Rose in the early hours of the morning was answered promptly with confirmation that our transfer would be there when we eventually arrived.

The tour itself was brilliant, Ozzie was a great guide, listening to what we hoped to see and reacting to any radio sightings. The days were long and full, the vehicle clean and tidy and the lunchtime meals were lovely and there was plenty of food. Drinks were set out in the morning for us to help ourselves with others in the cooler.

Our mid range accommodation was clean and tidy and as expected. To be honest by the time we got back from safari it was dinner, shower and do it all again the next day!

We were very lucky to see the big 5 and quite a lot of lions on our trip. I know this is not always the case. We visited all the parks but the Serengeti is definitely something special.

8 Day Camping Spectacular Serengeti Migration
5/5

We had an amazing safari with our guide Steven (Mayawalla) and chef Kareem. The office staff in Lion King Adventures, especially Pendo were excellent in communication and arranging every detail. First stop was Tarangire National Park - saw so many elephants and beautiful landscape of baobabs and rolling hills. Steve was a very skilled driver and has many years of experience working as a safari guide. He shared his local knowledge and explained about every animal, plant and interesting location we saw. Our first campsite was Panorama Safari Camp - stayed in comfortable concrete igloos. Our chef Kareem prepared delicious, local food with a new dish every day. He even baked his own bread that was delicious with soup. Everyday for lunch we had a full lunchbox freshly prepared that morning.

We stayed in tent campsites in Serengeti National Park. The night sounds of the Serengeti were unforgettable - we heard hyenas, leopard, jackals. We spotted buffaloes, giraffes, elephants, dikdiks, marabou storks, jackals, and hyenas from our campsite. Facilities at the campsite were clean and well maintained - a cold shower was appreciated at the end of the day. Serengeti is beyond words - vast plains with millions of animals grazing. Saw so many lions - witnessed a buffalo charge a family of lions and watched dozens of lions spring out of hiding in the tall grass to run away. Early morning game drive, two lionesses resting in the swaying, golden grass gazing silently at the horizon - reminiscing a primal memory in the human consciousness. Leopard resting on a tree branch - the only movement a flick of a hanging tail. Evening lioness hunt. Silent predator patiently stalking prey.

Our guide found every hiding feline. We watched two cheetahs eating a fresh kill in the distance. With the advice of our guide, we waited and the two cheetahs crossed the road next to our vehicle to rest in the shade of a tree. We also saw a mama cheetah with 2 babies. Everyday was something new and incredible. Beautiful sunrise and sunset everyday and feeling the primal energy of the Serengeti. Serengeti national park and Ngorongoro conservation area form a huge expanse of wilderness. Much appreciate Tanzania and its people for taking care of this treasure for the world.

Next, we camped in Ngorongoro highlands - enjoyed the cool nighttime temperatures. Buffaloes and zebras wandering through the campsite. The descent down the lush green crater wall into the crater was otherworldly. Down in the crater - grasslands, wetlands full of birds and hippos. Every scene ringed by the green hills of the crater walls.

We ended our trip at Lake Manyara park - watched a family of playful elephants feed and then disappear into the thick jungle. Thank you Lion King Adventures for an unforgettable trip! We are already planning to come back with our 2 kids.

The best experience - thank you Shafino!
5/5

We did the 5 Day Mid Range Safari with Shafino and couldnt be happier!
The entire planning, the transport and the accomodations were just perfect!
Shafino was our driver and guide and we never experienced somebody who has more passion in his job, experience, knowledge about the region and the animals and a great sense of humor. It didnt matter what wishes we had, how much time we wanted to spend at some places, Shafino was patient and always helpful for us and all the people around us. He did everything in his power that we could see every animal on our bucket list. He helped us with every question, with the best food for lunch and with finding the best foto spots in the safari.

For me Lion King was just the perfect choice for our honeymoon safari. Thank you for the great planning, the best lodge experiences, the comfortable car and the best driver! We couldnt be happier!

A wish that has come true
5/5

I did the safari with my wife and a couple friends. From the first contact to the end everything was super organized and you felt safe in every situation. Every staff member on this tour was very accommodating and not only took care of everything for us, but also put a smile on our faces. It has always been a dream of mine to get to know the heart of Africa and my dream was fulfilled by our tour guide Shafino. His 25 years of experience was felt in every moment. Chasing the Bug Five, he told us everything about the nature, the animals and the land. We could not have had a better man at our side. In addition, the luxury camp in the Serengeti Park is absolute madness. The quality is outstanding and unforgettable. The private dinner is incredibly romantic. I can only recommend to everyone to do this tour.

We had a wonderful and unique safari Lion King Adventure was. The guide, Shafino, is the definitely the best! We enjoyed every minute and learned so much with him. Our highlight was definitely the Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti Park and Nyota Lodge. We are grateful to have met Shafino and learned so much about Tanzania with him.
100% recommendation :)

Stunning, amazing and a special experiences!
5/5

We are still impressed by the 5 day safari with Lion Kings. Starting with a great organization, lixurious vehicles and beautiful accommodations. I would especially like to single out our guide Sharino who made our stay on safari special. With his extensive experience and exceptional knowledge of wildlife, he impressed us time and time again! Furthermore, I can also recommend the Nyota Luxury Camp, newly opened in 2023. The stay there in a unique environment with special people is a dream. We were certainly not the last time on site and are already looking forward to our next visit.

Simply the best!
5/5

Just came back from an amazing safari with Lion King Adventures.
Not our first safari, but the best by far!
The company – Lion King: great itinerary, the extra touches: hot picnic lunches (while others carried brown bags), diligence in catering to individual customer’s needs, extra cushions to make the driving over bumpy roads a lot less painful and the list goes on…
The guide – Richard: passionate about his job, highly knowledgeable and competent, pleasant to be around (which is very important when you spend many days together), always goes the extra mile for his customers.
We experienced so many fascinating encounters with animals, stayed in great hotels, it was the trip of our lives!
Will always recommend Lion King Adventures and Richard to anyone interested in an African safari.
