A Five Star Safari That Exceeded Every Expectations
Our group of five had an absolutely exceptional 8-day experience with Lion King Safari in Tanzania, truly a trip we will never forget.
From the very beginning, the team was incredibly accommodating and worked closely with us to craft the perfect itinerary. We never felt like just another booking; our preferences genuinely mattered, and that made a huge difference in the overall experience.
Our guide, Enock, was outstanding, easily one of the best guides we could have hoped for. His knowledge was incredibly deep and well rounded. Whether it was wildlife behavior, local culture, or the surrounding landscapes, he had thoughtful, detailed answers to every question we threw his way. You could tell he is not only experienced, but truly passionate and well researched in what he does.
What made the experience even more special is that Enock was not just our guide, he truly became part of our group. By the end of the trip, it felt like we were traveling with a friend. We were genuinely sad to say goodbye, which says everything about the kind of person and professional he is.
Thanks to Enock, we were always in the right place at the right time. He consistently positioned us perfectly for wildlife sightings, allowing us to see everything we hoped for and more, including the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and even what felt like the Big Nine. Every game drive felt intentional and expertly executed. At one point, we even had lunch near a leopard that Enock knew well. He shared the history of her and her family over the past five years, which made the experience even more meaningful. We also witnessed a live kill by a lion pride, an unforgettable, once in a lifetime moment.
Beyond the wildlife, the entire experience was rich and immersive. The landscapes were breathtaking, the food was consistently delicious, and the cultural experiences added another meaningful layer to the trip. The coffee tour, in particular, was one of our favorite highlights, authentic, engaging, and memorable.
This was more than just a safari, it was a thoughtfully curated, seamless, and deeply rewarding experience from start to finish.
We highly recommend Lion King Safari to anyone considering a trip to Tanzania, and if you have the opportunity, request Enock as your guide. He will elevate your experience in every way possible.

Excellent value, budget safari that felt more mid range.
Very impressed with the communication and the timeliness of pick up. Everything was as stated in the itinerary. Our, guide Steven, did an excellent job finding the animals for us. The accommodations were all excellent. Tented camps were great especially Manjaro camp in Amboseli. The hotels were excellent as well and very comfortable.
Amazing tour operator
This tour was very nice. My guide Reta was very professional and very young and full of energy !! He showed me one week in Ethiopia and I visit Lalibela churches all 11 were incredible and it was spiritual with great hikes. I learned so much culture, enjoyed local cuisine and saw beautiful landscapes - and there is so much more to see ! I will be back for sure. Thank you !

Warm, Kind Guides and Perfect Organization – Truly Unforgettable Memories!
Our safari with Wajefya Expeditions was truly unforgettable. We visited Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater, and every moment was amazing. Our guide, Dickson, was the best—he made sure we had an incredible experience and helped us see lions up close, which was a dream come true.
We also went for a hike to Materuni Waterfalls, where we enjoyed beautiful scenery, tasted delicious local food, and experienced one of the best moments of our lives. Visiting Chemka Hot Springs was also fantastic—such a peaceful and refreshing place.
Dickson will always stay in our hearts for his kindness and dedication. We had a wonderful trip with Wajefya Expeditions. Fredy was also amazing—very attentive, kind, and always ready to help. I especially appreciated how he checked on us throughout the planning process and made sure all our needs were met—that was truly special.
Everything about our safari was perfectly organized and truly enjoyable. We highly recommend Wajefya Expeditions to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.
Thank you for giving us such a beautiful and unforgettable experience!
