Very professional and very patient and perfect!
After comparing several tour companies, we finally chose Lionking and realized it was the right choice! From the initial route suggestions and hotel selections, they provided very professional advice and very reasonable prices. They even gave us reasonable suggestions for our first day in Arusha and booked our flights from Serengeti to Zanzibar. The entire process was very smooth, making us feel their enthusiasm and professional service.
Our guide Gilbert was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was excellent at spotting various animals and provided us with expert information throughout the trip. He took great care of us, and his driving skills were superb. We took many photos and even witnessed a cheetah hunting, which was truly amazing!
I sincerely recommend this company to Chinese friends. Along the way, we encountered many other tour companies, but their services were not as good. Chinese people won't deceive other Chinese people! I genuinely suggest choosing this company because they are truly professional and very friendly!

Incredible Memories of whole lifeļ¼
Tanzania's savannah wildlife and the professionalism of its guides are integral to the safari experience. Expert guides not only provide valuable insights but also ensure the safety and enjoyment of the visitors. My journey through Tanzania was a testament to the beauty of the African wilderness and the dedication of those who guide us through it.

The excellent experience & The best guide
This was my dream trip and the kids' most unforgettable destination so far. We met the best guide, Shafino, who showed us many rare animals and sights. The kids absolutely loved him! This trip was to celebrate their elementary school graduation. My son hopes to come back when he turns eighteen and find Shafino as his friend and guide again!

Amazing experience! We will choose you again!
Lion King, thanks ! We had a wonderful trip and unforgettable memories with my bother and sister's families. I and my husband came from Toronto and they came from China. We meet once a year through a trip at different country. This trip is the most incredible and amazing experience than before. Our tour guide Immanuel was excellent. He answered all our questions and provided lots of information on the animals, landscape and culture around us. He was very friendly, funny and informative and we always felt in safe hands. He consistently managed to find us the best spots to see the animals. On our private safari experience, we were very lucky to see all of the big 5 and a lot more - thank you Immanuel!
Our accommodation was great in beautiful and unique settings.
Rose and Gordon in the Lion King Adventures office were very helpful and flexible when organizing this trip and provided lots of information. I contacted Rose at 9:30pm after office hour but she responded me very quickly!

Trip of a lifetime
We booked with Lion King for our Tanzania safari experience as they were the most responsive and understanding operator. Once we reached Tanzania, the service has been impeccable. We were so lucky to have been allocated Shafino as our guide for the private tour. Having been in the game for over 25 years, Shafino took us to see all the big 9 and some more! Every day is an adventure and we saw all the animals in different forms and habitats. The experience was truly amazing and I would recommend it to everyone. Please ask for Shafino as your guide!

Trip of a Lifetime
First of all, I have to say that my guide, Peter, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly and funny. He gets a 10/10, a 5-star rating!! He is now my brother for life. I would also say that Lion King Adventures was a top-notch operator. The lodges and accommodations were unbelievable. Each lodge was great. The rooms and beds were great, the staff at each location were welcoming and helped with all of our needs. If I had to recommend a tour guide operator to my friends and family, I would definitely recommend Lion King Adventures.
Now for the safari. We started at Tarangire National Park. What a great place to start. We saw incredible wildlife and scenery. The highlight of that park was when a bull elephant walked directly up to our vehicle, within 5 feet. I have a picture that will go up in my house and it will always bring me back to that experience. From there, we went to Serengeti National Park. It's massive. I was shocked how big it was. So much game and wildlife. The highlight for me was when a female lion walked right past us, with her 4 newborn cubs. I feel honored to have met the cubs before the pride was introduced to them :) Then onto Ngorongoro Crater. It's a paradise of wildlife. Within 10 minutes of being in the park, we saw two male lions. Then the highlight was when we saw hyenas take down a wildebeest. Seeing it on TV doesn't compare. You have to see it in person and the operator you should use for you trip should absolutely be Lion King Adventures. I cannot wait to come back!

Perfect tour ever
I do believe Lion King Adventures is a professional agent who deserves every bit of recognition for their hard work and enthusiasm. During the negotiation process, Rose has play an important role as my āguideā to give directions of my safari and accommodations. When our flight arrived in Tanzania, we instantly felt the hospitality and enthusiasm of local people. As for our guide, I have to say Benjamin is AN AMAZING GUIDE. He is a refreshingly down-to-earth guide who tries to care every part for his tourists. We are not just a group, but more like a family. Not only is he a professional guide in this regard, but also a fun person to be around. Plus, he talks in a way that benefits everyone involved, being absolutely delighted when I asked for questions involving almost everything. He impresses me a lot in terms of his profession and enthusiasm. Also, he is extremely hospitable, who tells me lots of tips and advice on wildlife and local peopleās life, food, tourism attractions and other things that made me have a deeper and better understanding of this stunning country. His being super friendly, professional and hospitable impressed me a lot the first time I saw here. Certainly, we saw the big five and also leopard as well, which fulfilled my expectations of Africa safari. If you come to Tanzania, choose Lion King and if you decide to travel with Lion King, stay with Benjamin Thomas, I am sure you wonāt regret!
The Best Safari Operator
Lion King Adventures has been the best tour company my wife and I have ever dealt with. And we travel quite a lot.
They are very responsive on any messages you have if you contact them during local business hours. Even if you contact them after hours they will reply as soon as they open the next day at the absolute latest. This is not very common these days, but they are wonderful to work with.
The entire experience was seamless. They arranged airport drivers for both directions and our guide was with us for the entire trip otherwise.
Our guide, Enock, has also been fantastic. There are no better guides. He is punctual, friendly, and helpful. He is also very knowledgeable about all the local wildlife. He constantly helped out everyone around him without asking for anything in return, from guides to moving debris off the road for other drivers.
If you are looking for a Safari Operator in Tanzania, look no further. Book with them immediately.
