A truly perfect safari adventure!
5/5

From the minute James arrived to collect our group, we felt safe and well looked after. He was courteous, kind, funny and able to answer our millions of questions during our safari. He kept us well informed about everything and we were able to relax and fully enjoy this incredible country, it's wildlife and its people. James was very respectful of the wildlife and the surrounding countryside, which was very important for me. He used his extensive knowledge of the National Parks, animal behaviour and links with the other safari guides to ensure we had the best experience possible.
I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone interested in booking a personalised, perfect Safari.

5/5

I really would recommend Lion King Adventures to everyone is looking for a great safari!
I had the honour to have Mr. James Mlanga our guide! This guy is great, kind, funny and always happy to reply the million questions we asked him during our time around Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro crater!!
He kept us informed about the wildlife and the surrounding areas, which was my Trip target .
His knowledges of the National Parks, animal behavior and cultures living there are great and high professional as well; he made our experience special and unforgettable! A

Amazing experience
5/5

I booked my trip online off course I was little scared how it's going to be but everything turned out amazing!
James is very professional and the same time so friendly. He treated us like we've been friends forever...
He is able to answer every questions even more than we have known to ask, he informed us briefly.
He was very careful about what we told him, what we are expecting to see, he gave us our dream come true. I fell in love with Tanzania in 4 days and now dreaming going back for more days.

My Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Maynara Safari
5/5

I was fortunate enough to have James as our guide for our trip, James was very knowledgeable of the Animals and provided us with a great experience! During our Safari he did not rest until we got the experience we wanted. Several times he stopped and pointed out animals that we haven't even seen at first glance it was hard to see them but he patiently explained to us the precise location. James also served as a Swahili tutor, and learned many things from him. Will definitely use them again. I am planning another safari and will be using them for sure. Asante Sana Bwana James!, Nimefurahi kukutana nawe, Tuttaonana baadaye! Kwa heri!

James Is The Best!
5/5

James is a fantastic guide, he could spot leopards no one could see and we were almost always the first car to arrive! James really knows his stuff, he can tell you the names and habits of every bird, insect and mammal we spotted. When you are competing with every other car to get great pictures and clear views of animals, James is the man! He is not afraid to get up close or jocky for good positions. He knows the secret spots and where to find rare critters! His English is great and he is a fun and friendly guy to spend time with. There are a lot of Safari operators, so it's important to make sure you are dealing with professionals! We saw countless safari vehicles broken down on the side of the road, Jame's Land Cruiser passed them all! In fact we even stopped to help a few tourists who's safari guide's just weren't up to par. He is a safe driver, listens to direction and takes requests. Your trip is entirely up to you and you have total control. You won't get this type of personal attention from the large "corporate" operators and they cost much more. You can't go wrong with James! I felt completely safe and in good hands, this was the trip of a lifetime!

First trip to Africa. Lion King Adventures made it simply superb.
5/5

We had a wonderful safari with Lion King Adventures in Tanzania (5days including Arusha NP, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Tarangire). It started with an easy booking process and flexibility regarding all the wishes we had. This helped create our dream safari. The team at Lion King organised an airport pick up and accommodation for the first night. As this was our first time in Africa, it was helpful to us to know that everything had been organised. During the safari, James was our driver for the whole of the trip. He was great! Friendly, enthusiastic, and clearly has a passion for what he does. . He always managed to get us in the right spot to see the animals and to take beautiful pics and made this experience very special. We had such a great time with him. We would recommend Lion King Adventures to everyone. You are dealing with people who are very helpfu, reliable, and honest. No hidden costs or promises they did not keep.

I couldn't have asked for a better, more informed and well organised company for this style of trip.
5/5

We received excellent service throughout the whole trip: warm contact, a very pleasant and interesting guide who was very experienced & knowledgable. We were lucky to be able to see the big 5 & a lot more animals & birds in the three parks : Lake Manyara, Serengeti & Ngorongora crater. What an incredible country ! Our guide was happy to help in any way, & helped us plan parts of our onwards trip in Tanzania. I can highly recommend Lion King Adventures. Thank you for everything !

Best guide!
5/5

James is an amazing guide. He knows so much about the animals, their habits and migrations patterns. He is more of a naturalist than your average guide. He knows the names of every bird in the park and could
Point them out to us from a great distance. We came with a large group of students and he answered every one of their questions. He is funny, courteous and so knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him for your Tanzanian Safari experience. I would book him again!

Simply the best holiday I have ever experienced
5/5



We had a four day safari that took us to Lake Manyara, Tarangire and Ngorongoro. The safari was amazing and there were so many unforgettable moments. Our safari guide picked us up from the airport in Kilimanjaro and dropped us off when we departed. From the moment we landed, we felt very well looked after and experienced the wonderful Tanzanian hospitality. Our guide was very knowledgeable, courteous, funny and made us feel really comfortable. He seemed to have a sixth sense when in the National Parks and clearly knew a great deal about animal behaviour.
Everything ran smoothly and the accommodation lived up to our expectations.
If you are thinking of booking a safari, I have no hesitation in recommending Lion King Adventures. Ours was definitely a once in a lifetime experience.
