The big 5 in the Serengeti!
We had an amazing experience with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris. Our guides Benjamin Joel were experienced, helpful and went out of their way to make our safari amazing. Benjamin ensured we got to see the big 5 and we were thrilled! Joel was very attentive and answered any questions we had. Accomodation and food was excellent throughout! Thanks for an adventure of a lifetime!

Our Safari Dream came through
My 3 friends and I had the most incredible experience with Tanzania Pilgrimage Safari during the 4 day Serengeti, Tarangerie and Ngorogoro tour. Our guide Benjamin and the tour operator Joel ensured that it was the most amazing trip. The van was stocked with snacks, we had WiFi, lunch was delicious every day! The wine with lunch was a lovely touch. Benjamins knowledge of the areas and the animals was incredible - he answered all of our questions and gave us so much information. Due to his dedication we got to see the Big 5 and lots more animals in the 4 days. Joel ensured that the trip was comfortable for us at all times and he was quick in replying to any messages prior to getting to Tanzania. Everything ran very smoothly.
The accommodation completely exceeded my expectations for being in such remote areas. The rooms were comfortable, spacious and had WiFi. There was hot water in the showers. The staff were always exceptionally polite and helpful. We enjoyed every dinner.
Thanks for an unforgettable trip!

Joel was an amazing tour operator. He organised an amazing safari for my 3 friends and I.
Joel the tour organiser organised an amazing safari trip for my 3 friends and I. We were lucky enough to see 5 out of the big 5 during the 4 day safari. I loved learning about the Masai tribe and of course getting so close to the animals in the serengeti. It was the stuff of dreams. Benjamin, the driver, did his absolute best to ensure we got to see all the animals and that we enjoyed our trip to the fullest. Thanks for making our dreams come true guys!

A professional, personal and stress-free experience throughout.
I was part of a 21-person group tour with Lion King Adventures for 12 days.
My first contact with the company was with the friendly Simon, who warmly welcomed us with a signboard at Kilimanjaro airport and took us to our accommodation in Arusha. His vehicle was very clean and comfortable.
Safari Week
We had a special welcome in the form of the owner of Lion King himself, James, who received us at the Seronera Airstrip in the Serengeti. This is where we also met our safari guides – for our northern circuit (part thereof) tour – Emmanuel, Ozzie, Saleh and Yusuph and enjoyed welcoming drinks. We saw a lot of animals during the trip, with our first leopard sighting only a few minutes into the first game drive. Amazing! My personal highlights were the endless plains of migrating Wildebeest & Zebra in the Serengeti and the splendor of Ngorongoro Crater. Warm lunches every day at very scenic spots were delicious and always more than enough – even catering for the various dietary requirements of the group. I favored Emmanuel's style of guiding and made sure I was always the first to jump in his 4x4. The guides shared valuable insights of the animals, people and environments throughout the tour, all the way from the Serengeti, through Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and back to Arusha. The vehicles were like new and very comfortable to travel in the parks, as well as on the longer travels between them.
Mt Meru Hike
Four of us remained behind to go on a 4day/3night hike of Mt Meru. We were joined on the hike by Godwin, the IT guy from Lion King, which was really pleasant. Our guides Saladin and Emmanuel were great and came to our hotel the night before, to meet and brief us on the hike. We were picked up at our hotel by bus the following morning, where we met the rest of the team of kitchen staff, waiters and porters – all absolutely great people – real professionals who made our entire hiking experience super enjoyable and memorable.
A special mention and huge thanks goes to Rose in the Lion King office – she is someone I have never met of spoken to, yet her name always seemed to come up when things needed to be arranged. The entire trip ran like clockwork – everyone knew where they needed to be and at the right time – this is something that really stood out to me during the trip and ensured a stress-free experience throughout.
On the last day, we were picked up on-time by Charles and taken to Kilimanjaro airport, again in a spotless and very comfortable vehicle. Charles was very friendly and polite. He was quiet, the perfect driver for the end of a tiring but very exciting trip. :)
Asante sana Lion King, for the great memories! I would certainly recommend you to others wanting to experience the best that Tanzania has to offer.

We felt comfort in whole safari
We combined a safari and a trip to the beach during our trip, which was a wonderful experience. During the five-day safari, we visited the Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire, where we saw numerous wildlife, including the Big Five. Our guide Jackson was an expert, and he was able to find the animals incredibly quickly." After the safari, we spent four days in Zanzibar, relaxing on the white sand beaches and exploring the history of Stone Town. This trip was a great combination of excitement and relaxation-in a word, awesome!

Knowledgeable and very responsive
Janet, our agent, was the consummate professional throughout our experience. She was attentive and accommodating during the planning process and made any requested changes in a timely manner. She was in constant contact with us throughout our trip and made sure to keep us informed of our itinerary and any changes that might have occurred. Our accommodations were first class. If you’re headed to Masai Mara request the Sarova Lodge and thank me later. The value for the money was superb. All of our guides and drivers were knowledgeable, professional and just good people all around. Our transfers were seamless. The safaris, mountain hikes, visits to local villages and beach experiences and everything in between were simply amazing. We highly recommend Janet and Jaavia Adventures when planning your trip to Kenya and Tanzania.
