Lion King adventures met all our expectations to a very high standard.
We had an incredible safari experience with this company. They ensured prompt communication and booked a trip tailored to our needs and preferences. Staying at their resort in Serengeti (Nyota luxury camp) was the highlight of this trip, and our camp had unexpected visitors such as lions, buffalo, zebras, and wildebeest during our stay. Our guide, Salehe, was very efficient and friendly.
Overall, it was a memorable trip!!

World class safari
The most exceptional experience of my life thanks to our amazing guide Salehe (kwanza) and Lion King adventures. Living with Crohn’s disease and traveling to another country can be intimidating to say the least. All my fears were taken away from the minute we met Salehe. He took me straight to the grocery store to pick up lactose free milk and assured my mediations that had to stay refrigerated were well taken care of for the duration of our trip. He assured we found spots for my frequent bathroom trips. His wealth of knowledge about Tanzania, the culture, the Massai, and the animals were that of a world class expert. I learned more from him than years of school. I asked a thousand questions and he was able to answer every single one. His expert attention to looking for the big five turned into success and we saw everything a person could hope to see. From the many prides of lions to cheetahs, leopards, giraffes, elephants, zebra, wildebeest, hippos, rhinos, monkeys, baboons, hyenas, birds. He made us feel safe no matter where our adventure took us. Salehe is an amazing human being and a person you would call a friend by the end of the trip. In a world where our busy lives take over and don’t allow us to take a breath, sit back or relax. Salehe truly changed our lives and my perspective on so many things that life has to offer. We should appreciate the small things in life and be thankful for humans like Salahe that can show us what the true meaning of being thankful means in a place called Tanzania.

Superb from the beginning till the end!
Lion King lived up to and went beyond our expectations. The initial booking process was seamless and Lion King was always prompt and in touch with us, accommodating our requests and tailoring our trip the way we wanted it. Once we landed in Kilimanjaro, everything went according to our plans. Our guide Goodluck was friendly, punctual, patient, knowledgeable, a thorough professional and provided us with exemplary service throughout our adventures in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. With Goodluck guiding us, we were fortunate to see all the amazing wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, buffaloes, elephants, the African ‘ugly’ 5, countless other inhabitants of the plains and the highlands, innumerable species of birds…the list is endless. Thank you Lion King and special thanks to Goodluck, for helping create cherished memories for our family that will last a lifetime!

Great Experience with a Great Guide
We had a great time with our guide Suleiman. He was extremely knowledgeable about plants and animals. He knew where to go to see most animals and was quite personable. The Land Cruiser was comfortable and a great viewing & travel platform. Only downside was how much travel there was, but it is unavoidable given the vast distances to be covered and provided the opportunity to see more of Tanzania. Overall, highly recommend and would do again.

Excellent and outstanding.
Our family travelled with Lion King Adventures, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The entire trip was extremely well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish.
The planning and coordination were handled with great efficiency and promptness. Caroline and Naurey deserve special recognition for their exceptional attention to detail and clear communication. They were proactive, responsive, and ensured that every aspect of the itinerary was carefully thought through, which made travelling as a family completely stress-free.
The accommodation arranged for us was very good. We stayed in comfortable and well-maintained lodges in Tarangire National Park and Serengeti National Park. The lodges were clean, pleasant, and ideally suited for resting after full days of game drives, adding to the overall quality of the safari experience.
Our guide and driver, Fredrick, was outstanding and played a major role in making this trip so special. His knowledge of the parks, wildlife, and birds was excellent, and he shared it generously throughout the journey. He was consistently punctual, kept the vehicle clean and comfortable, and always ensured we had enough water, soft drinks, and beers available during the drives.
Fredrick’s dedication truly stood out — he went out of his way to ensure we had the best possible sightings and a memorable experience. His professionalism, work ethic, and genuine enthusiasm made this safari one we will remember for a very long time.
We highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone looking for a reliable, well-organised, and high-quality safari experience in Tanzania.

A wonderful safari with our guide Enock
Right from the start Lion King were responsive and professional. I contacted a few other safari companies but Lion King were the ones that made me feel like they would give us the best safari. They listened to what we wanted from our safari and came up with initial proposal. We wanted to make a few changes and our sales agent Nickson Anderson duly responded with suggestions for the tweaks we wanted to make.
Once the safari was decided on we liaised with Nickson Obedi, part of the logistics team, who booked the accommodation and made sure we knew all the logistical details to make our safari go smoothly. Before we travelled any questions we had were quickly responded to and they gave us all the information we needed re, visas, vaccinations, where we would be picked up and when etc, to make sure we knew what we needed to do and where we needed to be.
For our 5 night luxury safari Enock was our safari guide. Enock was an excellent guide with an engaging smile and relaxed nature. It was great to learn from him and he was always happy to knowledgably answer our questions. My husband is a keen photographer and Enock always managed to get us into a good position for photos and patiently waited for us to get the shots we wanted.
Enock went out of his way to make sure we got to see everything we wanted to. We saw Leopards, Cheetahs, lots of lions, Elephants, Black Rhinos, Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras and Wilderbeast on migration and so much more.
We visited Lake Manyara, Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengetti National Park and stayed in 3 different accommodations. The accommodation that stood out for us was Nyota luxury camp. From the warm welcome to the luxury tent with a terrace from which you could see giraffes amble past, this camp was fabulous. We would have loved to have stayed longer than 3 nights here.
Everyone in Lion King that we dealt with did an excellent job of giving us a safari to remember. I would thoroughly recommend using them.
Thank you Lion King.

Best guide ever!
Amazing time with Lion King Adventures and our guide Salehe!
We went to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and the crater, southern and northern Serengeti. From airport pickup to our last day, Lion king did an amazing job creating our itinerary and selecting our accomodation.
Salehe was so knowledgeable on the animals we saw and we got to see the Big 5 with him. He also shared information on the tribes, flowers, plants and life in Tanzania. He was a great and safe driver as well. He was always accommodating to stop anytime to see anything we wanted from the jeep even if we have seen the same animal multiple times. He was always making sure we had the opportunity to take pictures and also finding great scenes to shoot.
Our accommodations before the parks and our tented accommodations in the park were exceeding our expectations and had all amenities needed (wifi, soap, towels, water, coffee, tea and sometimes toothpaste as well!) and very comfortable beds. Breakfast and dinner were mostly buffet style with all types of local food and we also had a BBQ one night which was very tasteful.
The lunch food during the safari was amazing! It was 5 star picnic with actual silverware and plates, drinks and some sweets at the end.
The people we encountered and Salehe were very welcoming and polite, full of happiness and smiles.
I would definitely recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone!

An Exceptional Safari Experience with Outstanding Service
Our safari with Lion King Adventures exceeded every expectation. The communication was fast, clear, and professional from the very first message. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. Every detail was perfectly organized — hotels, meals, routes, game drives — everything was handled with care and precision. We saw the Big Five, stunning landscapes, and experienced Tanzania in the most authentic way. Truly great value for money and a company you can fully rely on. Highly recommended!
