Incredible honeymoon safari
Thank you to Lion King Adventures for arranging and providing us with the most incredible honeymoon safari!
It was such an easy experience booking our honeymoon with Lion King from our first enquiry with Maria and Floria, which transpired into an unbelievable safari adventure.
All of the hotel recommendations were superb; none more so than our two night stay in the Serengeti at the Nyota Luxury Camp — in the bush, the most amazing sunrise and sunset backdrops, surrounded by wild animals…what more could you ask for.
It’s only right that we give a huge shout out and special mention to our amazing guide, Khalifa.
The effort he put into our entire six day safari from start to finish was incredible. From answering all of our questions along the way, tirelessly driving around and using his expert knowledge to find all of the animals we wanted to see and take pictures of, and accommodating our endless toilet breaks — it wouldn’t have been the same without him.
It’s pretty intense when you think about it that you spend your entire day in a safari jeep with a stranger you’ve never met before — but he made us smile, laugh and feel right at home with his facts, jokes and stories along the way. So thank you again!

Vacation of a Lifetime
It has been almost 2 weeks since we returned from our safari, and my husband and I talk and reminisce everyday about our journey. Day 1 began with Simon meeting us at the airport and driving us to our first hotel. Out in all her glory was Mount Kilimanjaro. We came to find out the next day, from our guide Khalifa, that Mt. Kilimanjaro is known as the "shy lady" because she is usually hiding behind clouds and not visible. But on our first day we got to see this wonder and that set the tone for the rest of our safari. The next day we met our guide, Khalifa Shabani. We spent the next 5 days with Khalifa. Khalifa was just one of a kind! He was incredibly knowledgeable of all the animals, wildlife and vegetation we saw and that we asked about. Khalifa prepped the Land Cruiser for each day of our journey; it was clean and fully stocked with beverages. Khalifa was super patient with all my questions and was very helpful in helping me when I mentioned that I wanted to take a carving of and elephant (my favorite animal) home. He knew exactly where to take us and helped us out with pricing. We could not have asked for a better guide! Now Lion King Adventures makes this journey a total "no brainer." That is, once you receive your schedule everything runs smoothly and like clockwork. Everything from airport/lodging transfers, meals, excursions and additional activities (we opted for a hot air balloon experience over the Serengeti) that interest you. The hotels, lodges and tented camps arranged through Lion King Adventures were beautiful and luxurious. The food at each of these locations was outstanding and all the staff was accommodating and helpful. And lunch during our safari outings, was of restaurant quality! Our accommodations at Zanzibar were just as beautiful and was the perfect place for R&R after our safari. We cannot say enough about our experience with Lion King Adventures and about our guide Khalifa. Everything about our 11-day safari and beach (Zanzibar) vacation was memorable, unique, perfect and an experience that will live with us forever. Thank you, Lion King, thank you Khalifa, we hope to one day be back!

Amazing honeymoon experience!
We had an incredible experience with Lion King Adventures! We booked with them for our honeymoon and are very happy with our choice. They were incredibly informative and responsive with any request regarding packing, expectations, etc. Our guide, Shafino, was the best of the best. His knowledge of the animals, the ecosystem, and the culture can’t be beat. We got the full safari experience and couldn’t be more grateful for this once in a lifetime experience!

Great Safari Experience
We had an incredible safari experience with Lion King Adventures. Their office staff was very helpful, informative, and they communicate very well. They give you a pdf with all the information of your trip with pictures included which was very nice. Our pick ups to and from the airport were on time and hassle free. They also helped us arrange our stay and transportation in Zanzibar where we stayed after our Safari. Our guide on Safari, Shafino, is extremely smart and has many years of experience as a guide. We learned so much from him and he worked extremely hard! We were lucky enough to see all of the big 9 thanks to his knowledge of the parks and his relationships with the other guides. Tanzania is so special and extremely beautiful and you will not regret your decision to visit and see the beauty this country has to offer. Thank you Lion King Adventures!

A seamless, once-in-a-lifetime safari experience with Lion King
We communicated with Jovitha during the quote and Naurey handled all the organization, and from start to finish everything was seamless and easy. Our guide, Salehe Mkwanda, was fantastic—knowledgeable, fun, and full of stories that went beyond the usual animal facts. The team was extremely flexible, accommodating our requests to add an extra day or change accommodations, and they also arranged smooth airport transfers. Even though we did everything by email, it all felt effortless.
Over 8 days, we visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and every day was packed with unforgettable wildlife encounters. We saw the Big Five, baby cheetahs with their mama, lions almost every day, and even got very close to the river crossing. Staying at the different camps added to the adventure: at one tented camp we could hear hippos grunting at night, watched dik-diks chasing each other by our tent, and saw monkeys filling the trees.
The scenery, wildlife, and atmosphere at each stop were simply spectacular, from sunrises and sunsets right at the camps to the wide-open plains of the Serengeti. A safari like this isn’t cheap, but with Lion King, we felt we got excellent value for money. The organization, the guides, and the unforgettable experiences made every penny worth it. From start to finish, it was all about relaxing, enjoying the adventure, and making memories—truly a once-in-a-lifetime safari.

Quality
I worked with Lion King Adventures to bring a group of 12 people to Tanzania. As a frequent traveler and someone who has been to Tanzania before, I had a high standard for what I expected for my group. Lion King did not disappoint. The trucks were the nicest we saw on the whole trip - squeaky clean, well-maintained, and ran well. Our driver/guides - Salhe and Gilbert - were phenomenal. Both are so knowledgeable, kind, funny, and fit right into our group like we were old friends. The office staff was great at providing on the ground service for my group whenever I had questions or needed to make on the go changes. If you're looking for a company that will deliver the Tanzania experience of your dreams, don't even hesitate. 5 stars, would totally recommend.

An Amazing Safari Experience in Tanzania
Our trip to Tanzania was an experience we will never forget. We were very lucky to see all of the Big Five, and every moment with the animals felt really special.
A huge thank you to our guide Salehe Mkwanda. He knows so much about the animals and nature, always showed us the best spots, and shared so much interesting information. He also made sure our lunch stops were at nice places and that the toilet breaks were clean and comfortable – very important during a safari.
We were also happy with the food: the hotels always offered a good selection, and the lunch boxes during the safari were surprisingly good.
The whole trip was perfectly organized. From the accommodations to the daily schedule, everything ran smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
Even the Organisation and communication with the office was perfect. Reminder an information in time was very helful.
We can highly recommend this safari – amazing experiences, great organization, and with Salehe as our guide it was a truly special adventure! 🌍🦁🐘

THE BEST TOUR OPERATOR IN TANZANIA
I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH WORDS in my vocabulary to explain how cool was our experience with Lion King Adventure. Our guide HASSAN is simply the best, SO smart, he speaks English and German and knows perfectly the wild, he took us right in front of the LEOPARD, prepared the best lunches in the world, so fun to be around and he has incredible stories about the animals/ history/ culture etc. Also a big round of applause for the office Godwin & team, incredibly professional at organizing the whole trip. This paragraph is not sufficient to cover how amazing this trip was. Truly once in a lifetime adventure. This was the first time we truly felt what AFRICA is and having a good guide is essential, you stay all day in the safari car together and Hassan made all these days a magical adventure.
Thank you Hassan, Godwin and LION KING ADVENTURES.

Unforgettable Safari in Tanzania with the best guide
Our safari in Tanzania was simply unforgettable! We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and every single moment with the animals was really special. That’s something we will always remember.
A big thank you to our guide Salehe Mkwanda. He knows so much about the animals and nature, and always managed to find the best spots. He also made sure we had nice places for lunch and that toilet stops were clean, which is really important during a safari.
The food was also good: in the hotels there was always some choice, and the lunch boxes on the tour were actually much better than we expected.
The whole organization was great too. The accommodations, the schedule – everything worked perfectly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
We are so happy we did this safari – perfectly organized, amazing experiences, and with Salehe Mkwanda as our guide it was something really special. Highly recommended! 🌍🦁🐘
