Thank you for this unforgettable trip
We had Lion King plan an 8-day private safari (mid-luxury) according to our wishes. Very friendly and short response times as well as personal tips and suggestions made the offer complete in a short time. The payment processes ran smoothly.
Our tour guide/driver was Hamadi, who did an excellent job the entire time. We felt that we were in good hands at all times and always knew that we could rely on him. His driving style was safe and experienced. We were simply delighted with his reliable, courteous and competent manner.
We not only learned a lot about the flora and fauna, but also about typical local topics. It was a carefree time in which Hamadi took care of everything and organized everything perfectly. Individual and breathtaking game viewing made our first trip to Tanzania an unforgettable experience. The recommended lodges on the tour were excellent.
After the safari, we spontaneously planned a follow-up day in Arusha with the Lion King office (city trip and coffee tour with Clemency Nanyaro). Simon from Lion King accompanied us and also made this day a very special experience. Including background music during the trip. :-)
Florida not only showed great customer and service orientation here again, but also helped us with our follow-up stay in Zanzibar.
Many thanks to Lion King for the great planning, organization and handling of the trip, which we can recommend unreservedly and 100%.
We miss our lunch times with Hamadi and the flamingos at Ndutu Lake
Thank you - Nadja & Christian

Trip of a Lifetime!
My friends and I had an amazing time in Tanzania with Lion King Adventures. The office staff who planned our trip were super helpful and accommodating, and our two guides (Yusuf and Leonard) went above and beyond to make our trip comfortable and memorable. They were incredibly knowledgeable, answering any and all questions we had, and had a 6th sense for pointing out animals that other safari cars seemed to pass right by (we managed to see the Big Five, and so much more!). Our meals each day were delicious, and our accommodations at night were excellent. I'd recommend this tour company and Yusuf & Leonard a thousand times over - they truly made this the trip of a lifetime for our group, and we will never forget the wonderful experience they gave us.

An AMAZING experience!
We have just finished our 5 days circuit with Lion Kings Adventures where my husband and I were able to visit Tarangire national park, Ngorongoro Crater conservation area, Serengeti national park and Lake Manyara.
WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE and I can tell that our outstanding guide Ozzie (Oswald Shawo) has highly contributed to our unforgettable days. He was really nice and kind, super professional and a great expert of the safari topic, always caring a lot about our safety, confort and enjoyment. Everyday cleaned the car, refilled the fridge with our favorite drinks, kindly answered our million questions and showed up every morning really fresh and with a big smile bringing an amazing energy to the adventure.
Our car (Toyota Land Cruiser) was very confortable and really cared and prepared for the heavy “African massage” ☺️. We didn’t encounter any technical issue during our days.
So I can only thanks Lion King Adventure for such a great dream trip!
If we have the chance to come back to Tanzania, you can be sure we will book this with Lion Kings Adventures again!
Asante sana Ozzie, Rose and Caroline and hamna shida!

Lion King is an exceptionally caring safari operator
We booked a 9-day safari directly through Lion King. All of our wishes were implemented during the planning. The lodges and camps met all of our expectations and we were treated warmly and caringly everywhere. Especially because we both became very ill on our trip... Shaby, our incredible guide, was there for us the whole time and helped us to make sure that this trip ended up being a good one! The agency was also incredibly flexible when we had to book an additional flight. Our lodges and camps were: Gran Melia Hotel (Arusha), Lemala Mpingo Ridge Lodge (Tarangire National Park), Nyota Luxury Camp (Serengeti National Park), Lake Masek Tented Lodge
(Ndutu Area), Gibb's Farm (Ngorongoro Crater).
Tanzania with its incredibly friendly and warm-hearted people and the inexhaustible diversity of its animals and cultures will always remain in our memories!
Thank you Lion King and Shaby for the great time

A safari experience of lifetime with Lion King Adventures
Our recent 5-day safari with Lion King Adventure was nothing short of extraordinary—an unforgettable journey that exceeded all our expectations in every way. From start to finish, their communication was prompt and clear, their reliability unmatched, and their pricing v reasonable, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable.
We want to give a special mention to George, who welcomed us at the airport with warmth and professionalism. Not only did he ensure a smooth transfer, but he also went above and beyond by offering a guided tour of Arusha, giving us a wonderful glimpse of the city and its vibrant culture.
The accommodations arranged by Lion King Adventure were nothing short of exceptional. Every lodge was carefully selected to provide both comfort and a sense of being immersed in nature. A particular highlight was Nyota Luxury Camp, located inside the Serengeti. Staying in this luxurious camp allowed us to feel so close to nature and wildlife—it was an experience unlike any other. Falling asleep to the sounds of the Serengeti and waking up to breathtaking views made our stay unforgettable. We even had buffalo visitors, a thrilling reminder of how deeply we were connected to the wild!
The true star of our adventure, however, was Ezekiel, our safari guide. His unparalleled knowledge of Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti brought every location to life. He seemed to know every hidden trail and every corner of the parks, ensuring we never missed a moment of the incredible wildlife. From spotting elusive animals to sharing fascinating insights about the ecosystem, Ezekiel’s expertise and passion turned an amazing trip into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This wasn’t just a trip; it was a dream come true. If you’re looking for a safari company that delivers beyond expectations, look no further than Lion King Adventure!

A Perfect Safari Experience with Lion King Adventures
Our safari with Lion King Adventures was beyond incredible! From start to finish, the team ensured everything was perfectly organized. Pendo tailored an itinerary to suit our budget and schedule, and the lodges and tented camps she selected were outstanding—every stay was a highlight of our trip.
Before departure, Naurey from the same team provided detailed pre-trip information and meticulously checked everything to ensure our trip was flawless. Her care and attention to detail gave us great confidence before setting out.
One of the most special moments was celebrating my husband’s birthday. Thanks to Pendo, the lodge arranged a birthday cake with an unforgettable African style acelebration. It was a truly memorable evening.
Our guide, Benjamin, was phenomenal. He was kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing Tanzania’s wildlife and culture. His incredible spotting skills allowed us to see not only the Big Five (with numerous lion sightings!) but also a wide variety of other animals.
On our last day, Benjamin’s advice to reach Kilimanjaro Airport 3 hours early was spot-on. Because the airport process was super slow.
I cannot recommend Lion King Adventures highly enough. Their professionalism, warmth, and expertise made our safari a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re planning a trip to Tanzania, they are the team to trust!

Amazing and brilliant
One of the best holiday experiences we have ever had! The trip was so immaculately planned - right from us browsing their website (btw whoever has done the website copy deserves a raise :)) to talking over emails with Elia and Rose, who were so prompt to replying to all our queries right down to our amazing guide Joseph who was just so skilled, polite, patient and made sure we did not miss absolutely anything. We saw the BIG 5 and captured 4 with our lens for posterity! All the different hotels we stayed at were such a cherry on top, with amazing views, spectacular rooms and impeccable service. But the best part of the trip was the ride in Serengeti! Only regret we may possibly have is not spending more days in Serengeti , we will definitely be back!

Excellent Experience
Trip of a lifetime! End-to-end excellence in service: From the booking process to the lodgings to the Safari itself. Lion King Adventures took our breaths away. Our guide “Mwita” is truly a man of the Serengeti, born and bred here. He had extraordinary knowledge of the wildlife and was always positive, helpful and wonderful. Rosemary in the office also kept tabs on us throughout and made us feel special. Highly recommend!

Excellent
We had an amazing experience with Lion King Adventures! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, making the whole trip completely stress-free. The lodges we stayed in were not only incredibly comfortable but also super cute—each one felt like its own little retreat.
A special shoutout to our driver, Enouk, who truly went above and beyond. Even though it was the rainy season, he made sure we saw everything we hoped for and more! He was kind, funny, and so knowledgeable—he really made the whole trip unforgettable. Highly recommend!
