Lion King - King of Safari Tours!
5/5

When I researched about safaris last year, I was baffled by the price. Since I wasn't sure, I shopped around but to my disappointment, all the quotes I received was in a similar price range. Since Serengeti safari was in our bucket list, we saved fervently for the next few months to afford it. This was going to be the most expensive holiday of our lives. But after having just completed the safari, I can confidently say that it is worth every penny we paid!
Lion King Adventures took good care of us right through the booking process and customized a plan that worked well for our requirements. We were two families with 8 people and were given two safari jeeps when we arrived in Serengeti. Good Luck and Ramadin were our trusted driver-guides. They took great care of us during our trip. Both had good knowledge about the wild life and thanks to them we have a number of animal sightings. We also had a couple of memorable encounters with a pride of lions. However, the great migration of wildebeests was probably the highlight of our trip. Nothing comes close to experiencing this first hand!
The luxury camps arranged by Lion King for overnight stays were very comfortable and the food served at these camps were quite delicious. Being vegetarians, we had no problem what-so-ever with the food. The local people are very friendly and go a long way to serve their guests well.
In short, Lion King did a fantastic job and made our dreams come true! We strongly recommend them and we hope to come back to re-live the experience again!

Lion King gave us the perfect Honeymoon, only wondering how the next day would top the last!
5/5

We spent the first half of our honeymoon with Lion King Adventures and highly recommend it! Lion King staff were very knowledgeable throughout the booking process and provided us with a detailed itinerary and additional helpful resources. All of our drivers and accommodations were amazing! An especially cool experience was staying at the Embelakai camp in Serengeti Park. This camp had incredible luxury tents while staying in the middle of the park surrounded by wildlife. A very special shoutout to our safari guide Goodluck Laizer. He was incredibly knowledgeable of all the wildlife and the parks and went out of his way to ensure we had the best time. Thank you Lion King for such a memorable trip!

Professionals and easy communication, recommend them for sure!
5/5

Jambo! Thank you Lion King Adventures for this fantastic trip! Great experience for sure! We were 5 people and we are happy with the tour for two days - in Ngorongoro and Tarangire. Special thanks to Eugen. Very good in all the tours, great drive in the hard road of Ngorongoro, after the second day we have some free time so he went us to shopping center and to two small museums, it was interesting. We visited also Maasai village , but it looks like tourist trap and it could be skiped. Just one little remark, there could be some more info for the animals and the parks during the drive. But overall the experience was great and we are really happy with all. Eugen helped us to saw 4 of the big 5 :), and it was great. We catched great moments and saw really specail animals. We don't have a base to compare, this was our first safari from this kind, but I think all was good. Lion King are professionals and we recommend on 100% theis service - from the guide to all organisations. Also the lodge was perfect, 10/10. If we come back for longer safari in Serengeti, we will call them again :). Hakuna Matata!

You will not regret choosing Lion King for your safrari. We were very pleased with their operation.
5/5

I contacted Safari Bookings to find a tour operator for our safari experience. They forwarded a list of operators to contact, and our group looked them over and decided to use Lion King because it looked like the accommodations they provided were better than some of the others. Not only were we not disappointed, we were extremely impressed with the quality of the lodgings. The hotels and resorts were outstanding, and we had an all inclusive package with Lion King. The staff of all of the lodgings were very responsive, and the resorts all had excellent food! The accommodations were worth the price of admission by themselves!

The Lion King staff was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We had a group of 9 people with different travel plans, and Lion King was flexible and accommodating for all of us. They provided amenities in the vehicles for our enjoyment as we drove in search of game, including plenty of water, beer and picnic lunches. The guides were very personable and knowledgeable, and we loved being with them for the length of our safari.

I of course can’t compare Lion King to other operators, but we were all very pleased with their operation and were happy to have spent a little more to use Lion King. We all felt that the value of what we received for the price we paid was excellent! Highly recommend Lion King!

5/5

We did a 8 day safari with Lion King and we can highly recommend them. From the unset the communication and exchange was very professional and quick. Our safari was a once in a life time experience and our guide Mkwanda is truly great, he has great instincts to find the animals and thanks to him we were even able to see the big 5. We truly recommend Lion King.

Super!
5/5

We had a very positive experience with the entire Lion King organization. Florida listened to our requests and was able to design a wonderful safari that allowed us to visit all of the areas we wanted. Our guide was Yuseph, and he was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and he was a pleasure to spend the 6 days. He was able to help us find all of the animals we were interested in seeing and he demonstrated ethical respect for the animals and for their habitats. We would strongly recommend choosing Lion King!

Awesome experience!
5/5


The trip was absolutely wonderful. Caroline and Florida set up an amazing set of lodgings and experiences for our trip. They went out of their way to accommodate our special requests. At short notice we could not have planned the trip without them. Highly recommend Lion King Adventures. We would do it all over again. Enoch our guide was the best! He was friendly, knowledgeable and ensured we travelled comfortably while witnessing all the beauty and wildlife of Tanzania.

5/5

Fantastic experience with this tour operator. Very quick to respond to inquiries; great advice planning the trip; everything went very smoothly. Good value for money compared to other companies we looked at. A real highlight was our wonderful tour guide and skilled driver, Geoffrey. We all felt safe and well looked after with him. He was from the Serengeti and his stories, knowledge and local insight really added to the trip. I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures.

Lion King offered confidence and quality for our tour experience!
5/5

Finding the right tour operator took some work. This site made it easy to search and after contacting a few, I selected Lion King. I had lots of questions before booking - it's not our normal vacation - and Lion King (Elia) responded promptly and never made it seem like a bother. Once I booked another specialist took over the details. Once we arrived everything was so well done and managed. We had the VERY BEST guide - Immanuel for our 6 day private safari (We also did a one day at Kilimanjaro). We decided a time to start each day, he gave us a plan for the day so we knew what to expect. Immanuel is smart, kind and enthusiastic about his work. He explained more about the landscape and the wildlife and birds than we expected. Lunch was always restaurant food with real plates, silverware, the works - it was so good! The places we stayed were beautiful - I almost wish I had more time to relax a few of them! I do recommend to book as far in advance as you can as accomodations fill fast. Overall we had such an amazing time and I'd highly recommend Lion King Adventures for your safari - especially if you get Immanuel as a guide :)
