5 star experience
Overall experience was amazing and highly recommended. We were in Tanzania for 6 days and Lion King took great care of us the moment we arrived at the airport until the end.
Our 5 days private safari for 2 of us included immersive game drives around tarangire, serengeti and ngorongoro as well as a visit to a local market. We saw the big 5 and more. The selection of hotels was also to our liking. Pricing was also very reasonable compared to other quotations provided.
Our experience was enhanced with our very knowledgeable and experienced guide, Joseph, and we would like to thank him for our overall 5 star experience.
Amazing! We got to see and do everything we hoped for!
Our experience with Lion King was incredible from start to finish. We communicated via email and the operator always responded to any questions promptly and were very flexible with flight changes. However, what really made our trip so incredible was our guide, Khalifa. He was knowledgeable, attentive, funny, and an absolute joy to work with. Our tour was worth every penny and we’re already trying to find a time to return!

An Unforgettable Family Experience – Highly Recommended!
Our safari trip included Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. It was incredible, an experience that we will forever cherish. Lion King made all the arrangements throughout the trip without a single mishap; all of our expectations were greatly surpassed.
I want to make a special mention of our guide, Geofrey. Time after time, he demonstrated his deep wildlife knowledge and high level of commitment. We witnessed firsthand other guides who drove like maniacs or showed very little consideration for their guests.
When you embark on a safari for six or more days, you depend heavily on a professional and knowledgeable person who is also a good human being. You are, after all, entrusting your family to a stranger. Seeing how other guides operated made me realize how lucky we were. I will never book another safari trip without having Geofrey as our guide.

I will remember it forever
The impeccable service and our guide, Suleiman, whose deep knowledge of the local flora and fauna was truly remarkable, made our experience something magical that we will remember forever. In just five days, we had become rafiki (friends), and leaving filled us with a sense of nostalgia.

Jabir is the most amazing safari tour guide!
My husband and I recently completed a private four-day safari tour in Tanzania via Lion King Adventures and it was absolutely the most amazing experience! From start to finish, Lion King was reasonably priced, communicative, professional, and organized. Our tour guide, Jabir, was absolutely phenomenal! He was professional, punctual, passionate, warm, kind, and patient. He was incredibly intelligent and very knowledgeable about Tanzania: the parks and conservation areas, all of the animals and birds, plants, local culture, and so much more. Jabir worked very hard to make sure we had the most wonderful safari experience. We would highly recommend Lion King Adventures and specifically, Jabir, as a tour guide!!!

Extraordinary Safari Experience
We did the classic Northern Circuit (Arusha, Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro) for total of 13 Days. Our family had a truly memorable first safari trip with Lion King Adventures. Everything was seamless - thanks to Maria and Florida, who were patient, flexible, and incredibly helpful with our many accommodation requests(mostly luxury+ accom and also we were very picky). Sometimes you also have to be patient with them, as their replies can be a bit slow. Tuma, our guide in Arusha, was friendly, and welcoming, making us feel comfortable from airport transfers to showing us around the city.
The highlight of this trip was our safari guide, Frederick (“Freddy,” as my son calls him). We felt incredibly lucky to have him all throughout. A great guide is what makes a safari extra special and he exceeded all our expectations.
Freddy’s positive and cheerful attitude, punctuality, patience with our curious 6 years old, and ability to make us feel comfortable and safe made all the difference. He is deeply knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife and birdlife, never rushed us at sightings, and always explained animal behavior in an engaging way. His “wife”(as he jokingly
calls his safari jeep) was amazingly clean every day. ;-)
Thanks to Freddy, we saw many animals especially the Big Five and had unforgettable moments, including a cheetah and her 5 cubs, a big herd of elephants passing behind our jeep, a lioness resting beside us, and a rare leopard sighting on the main road of the Ngorongoro Crater. His spotting skills and instinct for animal movement were truly impressive.
He’s also a talented photographer — helped me with my photography and always positioned the jeep for the best angles.
This was absolutely our best trip and despite being the rainy season, we had the best weather! By the end of the safari, Freddy felt more like family than just a guide. He is a real gem at Lion King Adventures, and we would gladly recommend him to any friends visiting Tanzania. We hope to return one day for another safari with him—maybe during the Great Migration! Asante sana Freddy and Lion King Adventures for this adventure of a lifetime!

Fantastic safari, excellent guide, fun accommodations.
We booked a 5-6 day safari and I think that was the perfect length. Hotels were nice overall, the best being the Embalakai camps in the Serengeti just for the immersive experience. Our guide David was fantastic; he was very knowledgeable, navigated the difficult roads like it was nothing and was extremely skilled at finding even the most elusive animals. Communication from the company was great and made our experience in Tanzania smooth from arrival til departure.
