Honest and professional with a commitment for customer service.
I just completed an 8 day Safari with Lion King Adventures with my family. Our guide was Immanuel who was fantastic . He is a very knowledgeable and incredibly hardworking person. The Land Cruiser well maintained and always the cleanest vehicle each day. Immanuel has an extremely strong knowledge on the animals, flora and local culture. He is well connected with the other Safari guides, which helps spotting the animals each day. We were able to see the Big 5 and many other beautiful animals, most very close up!
The accommodations at each place were unique and great. We were served a plate lunch each day and were the envy of those with box lunches.
I can highly recommend Lion King for your Safari as well as Immanuel as your guide. Try to get him especially when you plan to visit the Serengeti, he loves this place and his enthusiasm will rub off on you too!

Incredible tour, wonderful company to work with, outstanding guide!
Africa is amazing and we loved our trip with Lion King. Lion King was great to work with and our trip exceeded our expectations. We started in Tarangire National Park, traveled throughout most of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro crater and spent two nights in a Maasai village. The arrangements for accommodations Lion King made were very nice. We had an EXCELLENT guide who was knowledgeable, fun, energetic and made every effort to make our trip the best. We had our 12 year old grandson with us and, Abu, our guide made sure to engage and involve our grandson everyday. Whether it was pointing out the stars, having a jumping contest, a riddle to solve or throwing a spear - Abu made everyday fun for all of us! Highly recommend!

Exceptional experience and service, from beginning to end
I traveled with my adult extended family, and each one enjoyed the 5 days on the road seeing the big five, and many other animals. We did Tarengire NP, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti NP. Mwita, our guide, was excellent, and I would highly recommend specifically requesting him for your experience. His extensive knowledge, he was born in the Serengeti NP where his father worked as ranger, and his keen instinct for spotting animals made our 5 days on the road very successful. His people skills are excellent! The accommodations were great, in beautiful surroundings especially in the park. Would highly recommend working with Lion King and Mwita!

Fantastic trip through Tanzania (with our guide Mwita)!
Absolutely incredible adventure in Tanzania across Tarangire, Serengeti, lake Manyara, ngorongoro crater. Our guide, Mwita, was fantastic! Beyond all the animals we wanted to see, we asked him to show us a few special rare items (black baby rhinos, hippos out of water, and a hunting chase) and he showed us all of them and more including lion cubs feeding and a pack of 15 cubs. His father was also a ranger in Serengeti and his knowledge of the park and animals was unlimited. Lion King made the whole experience stress free and enjoyable. We celebrated our sister’s wedding anniversary and lion king helped us organize a surprise champagne and cake celebration at one of the lodges. Highly recommend Lion King with Mwita as your guide!

Fantastic Safari with Mwita and Lion King Adventures
We had amazing 5 day safari in Tanzania, visiting Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Our guide Mwita was fantastic - he was very knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife. In fact, he was born within Serengeti park since his dad used to be the head park ranger there. With his guidance, we were often the first to spot the animals. Highlights of the trip included seeing the big cats (lions, cheetah, leopards) hunting and feeding.
Booking our safari adventure with Lion King was such an easy, stress-free process. They worked with us to create the perfect itinerary, and we’re responsive and in communication with us throughout. If you are traveling with Lion King Adventures, we highly recommend requesting Mwita!!

We were lucky to find Lion King
The whole experience was fantastic! Nickson from the office provided great and fast service and was very informative and provided all the needed guidance regarding the upcoming Safari trip. Together with Ms. Pendo we got the most recommended and luxury accommodations which provided us 3 meals a day Inc. lunch boxes and snacks during the activities.
Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge and
Escarpment Luxury Lodge are highly recommended.
Our dear guide Mr. Petro (the "professor" ) made our trip even better than we imagined. He was so professional, kind and friendly and took care about all of our needs. We learned about each and single animal and saw such an amazing scenes during our Safari trip. Mr. Petro is very talented and guided us through the whole journey. Every day was better than the day before. The big migration was amazing and we were lucky to have such experience to see so many animals from different angles.
The service was excellent - starting from the pick up at the airport and drop off, taking care about all of our needs Inc. miniral water and spirits in the car refrigerator. All was arranged properly and the car was cleaned every single day.
I've founded Lion King due to its high rating score and pleased to recommend on their great service!
Thank you for making our honeymoon 10 day trip unforgettable!

Excellent Safari Experience
I booked the 7 days (6 nights) luxury Safari with Lion King back in 2020. Unfortunately just before departure the sanitary crisis forced me to postpone this vacation. Lion King was very understanding extending the validity of the deposit payment by 2 years.
Pendo, the travel agent, was extremely helpful, precise and timely in her communication, patiently answering any potential question or concern within a day and with great accuracy, and I felt in good and safe hands at any time.
The entire Safari was extremely professional and smoothly organised.
Our guide was Richard who is a fantastic guide. He is a very careful and good driver with mechanics knowledge and a well maintained and always clean Safari vehicle. Out of the approx 15 broken Safari jeeps we saw on the road, he was able to fix 2 of them :). Richard has an extremely thorough knowledge on animals, flora and local culture. He knows when and where each single animal prefers to eat or rest and is well connected with the other Safari guides, which helps spotting them in the wild. We where able to see the Big 5 and many other beautiful animals and he was at least as enthusiastic as us when spotting them. Richard was very attentive to any of our potential needs or preferences.
My advise would be to spent at least 2 full days in the Serengeti and to visit one Maasai village, which has been a fantastic experience as well.
I can highly recommend Lion King for your Safari as well as Richard as your guide. Try to get him especially when you plan to visit the Serengeti, he loves this place at least as much as you will love it.

Great Safari with one of the best guides in Tanzania.
We had a wonderful time in Tanzania and even saw the Big Five as well as the migration on our Safari. We spent the whole time with our Guide Ozzie who led us to all the important spots on the right time and did everything so that we could enjoy our journey. We felt very safe and welcomed all the way up to the North of Serengeti. Special thanks to Ozzie for his excellent guidance.

Unforgettable experience
Lion King Adventures created an exceptional 7-day safari for us. James, Rose, and the entire team were very professional and responsive at all stages of the organization. Our trip took us from Lake Manyara to the great migration at the Mara River, through Ngorogoro, and on to Tarangire. Our young guide, Enock, was unfailingly energetic and professional, always alert, smiling and enthusiastic. The welcome in the lodges was particularly warm. A very nice trip. We recommend them.

Very professional tour operator with top trained guide(s)
Lion King Adventures always responded to us very quickly by e-mail when planning the trip (enquiry, offer, checking availability, confirmation of accommodation), often the same day or otherwise the next day.
We asked for a German speaking guide and they were able to confirm this with the booking. We spent 9 days with Emmanuel Mashoke, its currently only guide who speaks German quite well. His knowledge of flora and fauna was very good and he was able to answer all of our many questions. He was very kind, courteous and committed to ensure that we could observe and photograph the animals from the best possible perspective.
The safari was fantastic for us and we were very happy to have been with Lion King Adventures.
