Excelent
A fabulous experience from the Lion King Adventures team.
One of the most important things that you have to know about them is that they offer an excellent service, you will not be disappointed.
Nick and Pendo helped a lot in building the itinerary at the beginning and arranged everything before the start of the Safari. They helped us in making the right choices for the lodges and adapted the schedule to our needs. Most of the companies are not so flexbile and they work on the "take it or leave it principle" whereas Lion King really wanted to listen and fulfill our needs. Great job!
Once we had that sorted out and we started the Safari, Abu (our guide) took the lead and he was as fantastic as Nick and Pendo. Again, very flexible, knowledgeable, he told us tons of stories about animals, safari or the history of Tanzania, really a joy to talk to him. He helped us with spotting the animals or the birds as well which made our life way easier. This guy was awesome!
As we took also a 1 day hike on Kilimanjaro we had the opportunity to meet with Saladin (our mountain guide and for sure our lead for the Kili trip) and again, a great person. Very knowledgeable, he shared tons of info about the mountain, how to climb Kili and about flora and fauna, we learned so much from him as well.
Overall these people are incredible! They try to satisfy all your requirements while keeping a good margin for them as well, the guides are giving 200% in sharing the knowledge and making sure you feel great during the journey from every aspect from driving, guiding to adapting the schedule when it's needed and always being flexible.
I have rarely had such a good and pro service from a company and I have rarely seen so many dedicated people in one place. Congrats to James, the owner of the company, to whom we gave one advice:Keep these people together!
Lastly:
- the car is well-equipped for the Safari and comfortable
- the food offered by Lion King during the safari is more than sandwiches, you get real hot meals, coffee, tea, water, beer
- the lodges have a good to excellent standard of service and certainly above what I did see in other places in Tanzania
- Abu washed the car almost every day, it was so spotless. We did not ask for it, but we were impressed by the fact that he did this.
- The only suggestion that I would make is to offer the possibility to have also 1 meal with local Tanzanian food (the food we got during the trip was very good and tasty but mostly European/US food and I was very curious to eat some Tanzanian food as well)
- there is little that I can say more, just use this company to have a wonderful time while in Tanzania, I for sure will come back to do a Kilimanjaro trek with them.

Massive knowledge of East Africa and it attractions, Best tour guides as well.
Took us around almost all of East Africa in two weeks. Beach, Coastline, Kidepo, Maasai Mara and Serengeti, we did it all and more. Their charges are pocket friendly as well. The adventure of the seven islands in watamu blew our minds away. Will definitely bring my family along next time.

Great potential lies in this park.
Entry through Nyatoto Gate was different compared to the other side. As a bird enthusiast, more facilities considering the density of the species in the park should be put in place to enhance this experience. The drive was amazing, we spotted some Roans and I wonder what it would have been like viewing the plains and nearby escapement from above. It was a great experience overall.

Trip of a lifetime!
I did an 11-day safari with Mufasa Tours and Travel in October 2021. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend this tour operator. Joe put together an itinerary for me at the last minute and it could not have been more perfect. The lodges and tented camps were incredible and the people are some of the friendliest you will ever meet. I saw so much wildlife! My guide James was very knowledgeable about the animals and birds and even taught me Swahili at night. If you have the time, go to Amboseli (for the elephants) and Tsavo West (to stay at the lodge they use with a very active waterhole). I also spent a day with Mufasa in Nairobi before the safari, visiting Nairobi National Park, the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Centre, and the Karen Blixen House – highly recommend this day trip with them before you start your safari adventure. I plan to go back to Kenya with my daughter and will definitely use Mufasa again. For this trip, I was a solo female and I had zero issues or concerns.
