Professional and Expert Guides!
Lion King was absolutely fantastic! From day 1 they were extremely communicative and flexible when developing our itinerary. Our guide was Shafino, who was an absolute professional and expert guide. He took us to 3 different national parks over 6 days and was great company the entire time. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals, birds, and plants. He knew exactly where animals would be and could predict how they would act, which always put us in the best position for photos. On several occasions Shafino moved ahead of other guides because he knew what the animal was likely to do, demonstrating his knowledge. If you are into birding, Shafino is your guide! He has experience working with birders and could spot even the smallest bird while driving down a dusty road, amazing!
If you are looking for a safari company, Lion King Adventures is it! They prioritize quality professional and expert guides over quantity. Shafino was our guide, but throughout the trip we talked with other Lion King clients and employees and found that everyone had enjoyed their experience and all the guides were professionals.

Tanzania experts
Lion King adventures is a very good company who has taken good care of us whilst in Tanzania. This is being reflected from the professionalism of staff, from the ladies in the office to our drivers. Fred and Mwita were very experienced and safe drivers, which is a must. They knew better than yourself, what's needed during the adventure. Knowledgeable about nature and culture, passionate, helpful and polite. The Jeep becomes home and it's suitable for all weather conditions, charging station and drinks are there for you, robust and good vehicles. Our first part of the trip involved a lot of moving and we covered quite a lot of ground, safari and cultural trips. We did a coffee and waterfall tour with Adam, which was excellent, fun and very informative. Lion King ad provided a specialised guide for each trip.
The choice of accomodation was very good, in particular we enjoyed our stay in Serengeti in a tented camp (The sound of silence) as we didn't move for 3 nights and the tent was superb. You can hear wild animals at night, when they get close, and you could also see them in the distance at other times.
Ngorongoro, Tarangire, Serengeti, hard to pick a favourite, each park is very special in its own right and the company's experience and attention to detail ensures you make the most of it. The same for Zanzibar. Travelling around Tanzania has been a dream and a good bonding exercise with our older teen daughters. Hospitality is great, people are happy, friendly and genuine inspite of the tipping culture, I'd like to think. A very memorable trip, thank you!

Safari goes the extra mile…life long memories
Overall the safari was incredible! As a combination, the four parks we visited allowed us to see so many of the amazing animals and bird life found in Tanzania. Animals were plentiful and the vehicle and accommodation fitted us perfectly as a family. Our guide, Shafino, was a true legend of the parks. Not only did he know where to go to find all the animals on our wish list, but his detailed knowledge of all things that run and fly was next level. I highly recommend Lion Safari and Shafino as a guide. Thanks for the great memories.

Memorable safari with an expert guide
We had a fabulous and memorable time, thank you Lion King Adventures! We saw the Big 5 and the ‘Big 9’. Our guide Shafino was incredibly experienced and shared much knowledge about the animals which made all the difference. His 20 plus years of experience definitely showed. Seeing a mother cheetah and her cubs was even more special hearing of the cubs’ vulnerability especially in their first few months of life. Shafino patiently answered all our questions including our children’s questions. His effort and expertise finding lions and cheetahs and rhinos were invaluable. We were very fortunate to see 8 rhinos in the Ngorongoro crater. We loved the beautiful tented accomodation arranged by Lion King. Staying in the parks in tents added a wonderful element to the whole experience.

Amazing experience with a fantastic guide and great safari company.
Our experience with Lion King Adventures couldn't have been easier and we felt very lucky to have our guide, Gilbert. Gilbert is very knowledgeable, experienced, and an excellent spotter of wildlife. Because of Gilbert and his spirited drive, we were able to see all of the big 5 and many other wonderful animals.
The itinerary itself was packed (but not too busy) and gave us an opportunity to enjoy all of the different excursions in Tanzania without having to worry about the logistics. All of the places we stayed at that were selected by Lion King Adventures were wonderful with great staff themselves. In the lead up to the trip, Godwin, Rose, and Naurey were extremely responsive and made sure all the arrangements were correct in planning the right vacation for us.
If we ever go back to Tanzania, we would 100% go back with Lion King Adventures. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Unforgettable Honeymoon in Tanzania
My wife and I had an amazing 6 day safari for our honeymoon! Everything was well organized by Lion King Adventures from start to finish; the booking, the communication, the pick-up and delivery to the airport, the lodges, the food and above all our guide Mwita.
It was a carefree holiday and an unprecedented experience. We enjoyed the nature, the animals, the service and the adventure.
Our guide Mwita was the best guide we could wish for. He has a vast knowledge of nature and animals, years of experience and he was continuously cheerful, helpful and flexible. The jeep was also fully equipped, including a refrigerator and electricity. It was perfect!
We stayed in beautiful lodges that Lion King recommended. The Nyata Lodge in the middle of the Serengeti Park in particular was beautiful, luxurious and a special experience.
Furthermore, as an adjustment, we had also opted for one night in the Foresight Eco-Lodge (instead of the first night in the Karatu Simba Lodge). We were very happy with that. A beautiful and new sustainable lodge in the hinterland of Karatu. Recommended!
The reviews are true. Lion King Adventures does what it promises. We are grateful to them for this unforgettable honeymoon in Tanzania.

Amazing 7-Day-Safari in Tansania with the best tour operator
We had an unforgetable and perfect organised safari tour with our great tour guide 'Goodluck'. He was very experienced, highly professionel and had a profound knowledge of the environment and the animals. He was always one step ahead of the other tour operators and took us to unique places to spot animals incl. the Big Five. Also the first contact and correspondence before our journey with the office team was very professional. They created a tailormade tour for us and fullfiled all our wishes while being very helpful and friendly. We can highly recommend Lion King Adventures.
