Professional, responsive, reliable and friendly - Lion King Adventures has made me a safari convert!
I travelled with a friend and as two female travellers, we spent a lot of time researching safari operators before choosing
Lion King Adventures for a 4-day, 3-night safari covering Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro
Crater, Central Serengeti and Lake Manyara in September 2026. Looking back, choosing Lion
King was one of the best decisions we made for our trip to Tanzania.
I'll admit that before arriving, I wasn't just hesitant about going on safari; I was genuinely
terrified!! However, Lion King Adventures' professionalism, organisation and customer service
quickly put me at ease and completely transformed the experience. By the end of the trip, I was
wondering why I hadn't done a safari sooner.
From the planning stage the team was responsive, accommodating and genuinely interested in
ensuring the itinerary met our needs. A special thank you to Riziki, who was incredibly helpful
during the proposal and booking process and to Rose, whose attentive aftercare and follow-up
were equally impressive.
What really stood out were the thoughtful touches that elevated the entire experience. On Day
1, we were surprised with a bottle of wine accompanied by a personalised message during
lunch, which was such a lovely and unexpected gesture. We also appreciated that our picnic
lunches weren't just packed boxes. We were treated to freshly cooked food served with proper
plates, cutlery and even a picnic tablecloth. It may seem like a small detail, but it made every
lunch stop feel special.
The accommodations selected by Lion King, Nyota Rift Valley and Land of Nature Camp;
were excellent and went beyond what we expected to experience on a safari (They will get their
own reviews).
The true highlight of our trip, however; was our guide and driver, Godbless. From the moment
he picked us up he was warm, engaging, patient and endlessly knowledgeable. He shared
fascinating information not only about the wildlife and ecosystems but also about Tanzania, its
culture, history, and everyday life. No question was too small and he always took the time to
provide thoughtful answers.
As a safari guide, his skills were simply remarkable. My friend and I became convinced that his
sunglasses had magical powers. Time after time, he would stop the vehicle, gaze towards what
looked like an empty patch of bush or distant horizon, and ask, "Do you see it?" We would scan
the area with binoculars, follow his directions and eventually spot the animal he had somehow
identified immediately. His ability to locate wildlife was extraordinary.
Of course, he ensured that we saw the Big Five, but what impressed us most was that he
understood a safari is about more than a checklist of animals. There were moments when he
would park the vehicle, switch off the engine and simply allow us to experience the beauty of the
wilderness. Sitting quietly, feeling the breeze, listening to nature and appreciating the stillness of
the landscape became some of the most memorable moments of the entire trip.
Lion King Adventures delivered an experience that was professional, personal and exceptionally
well organised from beginning to end. I would recommend them without hesitation, especially to
first-time safari travellers and women travelling together. If possible, ask for Godbless to be your
driver/guide. You won’t regret it! Lion King Adventures didn't just show us Tanzania's wildlife;
they helped 2 Trinis fall in love with the safari experience itself.
Amazing experience and highly recommend to anyone!
We opted for a private tour and our guide and driver both called ernest were fantastic!

Unforgettable 6-day private safari with an amazing guide, Godana
Our group of six booked a private 6-day safari with Global Threads Safaris in late September 2026 (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli), and our driver-guide Godana made the whole trip.
We saw just about every animal we hoped for, including countless elephants, giraffes and cheetahs. The landscapes were just as memorable. Seeing Mount Kilimanjaro rise over Amboseli and the beauty of Lake Nakuru were moments we'll never forget.
Godana wasn't just driving us from park to park. He genuinely cared about how we were experiencing the journey, and he shared stories about Kenyan culture along with his own philosophy and perspective on life. Those conversations gave the trip real depth.
The distances between parks are long and the roads are very bumpy, so the jeep did break down a few times. What impressed us was how everyone, Godana and the other drivers alike, jumped in to help each other and get us moving again, always putting the travelers' experience first.
If you're planning a safari in Kenya, ask for Godana. Asante sana for an amazing week!

Eric was born to be a guide!
Eric was one of the best parts of our trip to Rwanda. He knew so much about the country and its history, and we learned a ton from him along the way. After visiting the memorial, he shared some of his own family’s story with us, which gave us a really personal perspective and made the experience that much more meaningful.
He also got us a fantastic gorilla group and made sure we saw all the important sites. And he was just a ton of fun to spend time with—his passion for Rwanda and for what he does really came through.
We had the absolute best time with Eric. Some people are just born to be guides, and he’s definitely one of them.

Cool
I had an amazing experience with this team. The hotels they arranged were comfortable, and the whole service was thoughtful. We met a few small issues along the trip, but the company responded quickly and solved everything actively.
Special thanks to our driver George! He is careful, skilled at spotting wild animals, and drove safely the whole time. He kindly helped us exchange money, and when we lost our belongings, he acted fast and successfully helped us get them back. It really saved our trip.
All game drives were wonderful, we saw plenty of wildlife. The itinerary was well organized. I felt safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. This safari became such an unforgettable memory for me. If you plan an African safari, don’t hesitate to choose them. Many thanks to George and the whole team!

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Alex and Chef Moses from Wakanda Tours & Safari!
We had the absolute best safari experience thanks to our incredible guide, Alex! He made our entire trip so special and took it to a whole new level.
Alex has an amazing knowledge of wildlife and answered every single question we asked. Thanks to his incredible spotting skills and deep understanding of animal behavior, we were able to see animals we definitely would have missed on our own.
He took care of us 100% and made sure all our needs were met every single day. He was super flexible and adapted the daily schedule to match exactly what we wanted to see and do. We felt so well cared for the entire time. If you are looking for a safari guide, we cannot recommend Alex enough!
A special shout-out goes to our chef, Moses, who cooked phenomenal meals for us! The food was honestly better than in hotels or restaurants. Every single dish was perfectly seasoned, and there was always so much delicious food that we never stayed hungry.
Thank you, Alex and Moses, for making our trip so unforgettable!
In case of travel agency, The wakanda tour & safari was a really great value for money + communication with them was super smooth. I highly recommend

Awesome 4-Day Safari with Serengeti Wakanda!
We just wrapped up an awesome 4-day safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris, and it was such a great experience.
Our guide, Alex, was top-notch. He was super friendly, extremely helpful, and insanely good at spotting wildlife. Thanks to his knowledge of the parks and animal behavior, we got to see way more than we expected and had the best possible views.
A shoutout to Moses as well for making sure we were always well-fed with delicious, hearty meals after long days on drive.
If you're planning a safari in Tanzania, I definitely recommend booking with these guys!
