Lion King Adventures is the ONLY Safari Company you should consider as you plan your journey!
This is the second time I have used Lion King Adventures for my small-group boutique travel business and everything about the experience was as incredible as the first time - and I am already planning my next safari with Lion King! Everyone in my group - both times - had an incredible, life changing experience thanks to everyone at Lion King Adventures!
From the moment you decide you want to go on a safari Lion King Adventures has your back! The dedicated and professional office staff will help you through the planning process, help decide the best itinerary, lodging and additional activities to meet your needs and budget.
Once you begin your safari you can expect respectful, experienced, knowledgeable and extremely professional guides who will ensure your safety throughout your journey while making sure you see ALL the animals! The guides will inform you about everything - telling you where you'll be going each day, why it matters, what you can hopefully expect to see in each National Park and teach you about the wildlife, the landscape and the people of Tanzania (who, by the way, are THE kindest people you will EVER meet!)
The Philosophy of Life in Tanzania is Hakuna Matata and Pole, Pole, - No worries and slowly, slowly (just like in the movie;) and everyone at Lion King Adventures embodies this in the most genuine way!

Once in a lifetime trip!
Incredible. No other words to describe how amazing the Safari was. We saw everything from the Big 5, animals being hunted, the great migration, sunsets and sunrises.
Jabiri our guide was so knowledgeable and an inspirational guy. He was very responsible and we felt safe and welcomed.
Everything went to plan. I highly recommend this company. It was worth every penny and the best value for money I've spent on anything. Don't think twice just book.

We had great family time, wonderful experience
We had an amazing time with Lion King. Everything worked exactly as described and was fully taken care of. Our lovely and professional guide, David, met us right on time and provided a wonderful experience for the entire family, including our three kids aged 11, 8 and 5. The lodge was very good and the food was well above our expectations. We had four days of rides, visiting three parks and also spent a day with two local tribes, which was super interesting and special. We highly recommend Lion King Adventures!

Above my expectations
Lion King Adventures is superbly run. Communication was prompt and they kept us informed while we waited for our dates. Guide, Gordon, was very professional and was focused on providing a great custom experience. We saw four of the big five on the first safari day. Gordon was very knowledgeable about the birds and vegetation, which delighted us. The vehicle was cleaned every evening and fresh for the next day. Our time at the Mara River watching the Wildebeest crossing was so incredible, thanks to our guide always getting us where best to see. We had a couple other Lion King employees picking us up from the airport and getting us around to other tours and they were all so friendly and made us feel so taken care of. We chose luxury accommodations for our safari, and we were blown away by them. Such beautiful settings and highest quality lodges and food. We were highly pleased with our Lion King Adventure, and it was a great value for all it included. Highly recommend!

Superb!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Serengeti Safari with Lion King Adventures
Our recent trip to the Serengeti with Lion King Adventures was an absolutely incredible experience and one that we will remember for a lifetime. From start to finish, the entire trip was extremely well organised, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the breathtaking wildlife and stunning landscapes.
A special mention goes to our guide, who was exceptionally knowledgeable and caring towards our needs throughout the safari. His passion for wildlife, extensive knowledge of the Serengeti, and commitment to ensuring we had the best possible experience made every game drive both educational and exciting.
The quality of the safari vehicle was also outstanding. The vehicle was comfortable and of a great standard, providing excellent visibility for wildlife viewing while ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey throughout the trip.
The driving was superb, even in tough conditions. Navigating challenging terrain safely and confidently is no easy task, but our guide's skill and experience were evident throughout. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to reach some truly remarkable wildlife sightings while always feeling safe and comfortable.
Another highlight was the accommodation. The selected accommodation was perfect, with each location offering a wonderful balance of comfort, hospitality, excellent food, and beautiful surroundings. It added greatly to the overall experience and provided the ideal place to relax after each day's adventures.
Finally, we felt that the entire trip represented great value for money. The quality of the guiding, accommodation, vehicle, food, and overall service exceeded our expectations and made this a fantastic investment in a truly memorable experience.
I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures to anyone considering a safari in Tanzania. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience made this one of the best trips we have ever taken.

Incredible safari!
We had an incredible time with Lion King and our guide Emanuel. We saw multiple lions, cheetahs, rhinos, the Mara river crossing, and a leopard (and all kinds of other stuff). Emanuel is an excellent guide, a very safe driver, very knowledgeable about wildlife and culture, and did a great job spotting and finding animals. Lion King also booked us into some very nice camps, and they were able to accomadate vegetarian with no problem. Highly recommend!

Reliable and trustworthy safari tour operator
Good communication regarding planning the tour via email and WhatsApp. Daniela is relatively fast with replies. Payment was a little tricky at first since it requires you to have a wise account but once figured out it was fine and a safe payment.
Well organized. Salim was a great guide, very knowledgeable and always wanted to make sure we get the best experience, best views and best photos. He is not the best at small talk but that’s okay. Salim was eager and always open for any questions about nature and wildlife. And most importantly a safe and good driver. Lunch was great and delicious. Overall great experience where we did not have to give an thought about organization at all. Serengeti was obviously the best. Ngorongoro and Tarangire were awesome too. Lake manyara was a little disappointing with fewest wildlife. We got to see big 5 and over 100 lions. Great experience. Money well spent for the luxurious accommodations.
Nyota accommodations were new but definitely the best accommodations. In Serengeti we were supposed to get a comparable accommodation with karibu sametu camp..but that definitely didn’t feel on par and in our opinion not very luxurious at all. There was also no discount for the different accommodation but apparently it’s supposed to be in the same luxury category.

Spectacular
My best friend and I just got back from a 7 day safari that we booked through Lion King Safari, about 3 weeks before we landed in Tanzania. The entire experience from the booking to the departure at the airport at the conclusion of our safari was amazing. They were incredibly responsive during the booking process, with great recommendations and flexibility in making adjustments due to our schedule and timing of arrivals and departures. It is always scary to wire money across the globe but I felt reassured the whole time and everything was seamless. The tour itself was nothing short of spectacular and that in part was mostly due to our guide Stephen. He was FANTASTIC! He has been a guide from 26 years and it showed. I wanted to give him a special shoutout in recognition of the excellent service he provided. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, accommodating, professional and his tracking skills are unmatched. That man could spot anything. He had the eyes of a hawk and because of his experience we were able to see the big 5, some of the little 5, special birds, and so many other things. He knew I was set on finding a leopard and he asked around, listened to the radio, sent a carrier pigeon (kidding) to the animals and we spotted 3 leopards the entire trip! He obviously couldn't control our sightings but he was committed and we got very lucky. Stephen's mood never faltered. He always had a smile, joke, or nugget of information to offer us. The lodges that they booked were clean, spacious, ecofriendly, had great food, excellent service and we felt well taken care of. The truck was clean, durable and everything you would expect to off road and see the wild. I highly recommend but Stephen and Lion King Safari

Outstanding Safari Experience
The experience with Lion King Adventures was nothing short of outstanding from the initial contact inquiring about safari options through the completion of the safari and return to the airport. They were very flexible in structuring a safari that addressed all of our interests and providing it at an affordable price. The staff was very helpful throughout the process in structuring the safari as well as making adjustments driven by airline flight changes. Once on safari, our guide Goodluck (Goody) was exceptional. He went above an beyond to ensure that our safari was spectacular. He knew exactly where to look for the animals to ensure that we saw all of the animals we were hoping to see and many more. He had the eyes of an eagle and could spot animals hidden by the tall grasses where most people would have driven right by them. We were able to see the Big 5 as well as the Ugly 5 during the safari. He also maneuvered extremely well to monitor the Wildebeest movement to ensure we had a front row seat to watching the spectacular Wildebeest migration across the Mara River. Lion King Adventures and our guide Goodluck exceeded all of our expectations resulting in a safari experience that we will never forget. I highly recommend Lion King Adventures if you are looking for an outstanding safari experience.

George was knowledgeable and awesome!
From the moment George from Lion King Adventures picked us up at our hotel to the last day of safari was so much fun! Traveling around with him and seeing all the animals in their natural habitat was an experience we will never forget. George was mindful of our safety at all times and meticulously prepared for each day providing food and drinks. Excellent experience overall and we would highly recommend Lion King Adventures for your next safari holiday.
