Top class company to experience the beauty of Rwanda with well spoken & informed drivers / guides
Frank and his team serves a high quality experience end-to-end, that easily outperforms 5 star experiences around the world. His team is flexible, egaging, well educated, well informed, enthusiastic, and with access to high quality resources across Rwanda. We had top vehicles, amazing drivers / guides, and were able to discover the beauties of Rwanda as well as get to know its history & past challenges in an unforgettable manner.

Unbeatable safari experience
We had a great safari expereince in Kenya. We loved thew hotel option suggested to us, the service was great also as our driver guide treated us like his family friend. We enjoyed Masai and community visit. The itineraty was well planned and special thanks to our safari specilist Vincent.

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.

5 Day Kilimanjaro Climb: Nov 2021
Pro-cheapest price, plentiful food, terrific guide
Con-employee who arranged booking insisted I give him the tip money for guide and porters up front rather than allowing me to distribute the money directly to them myself during or after the climb. Upon return from the climb, the employee gave my tip money to the guide. However, the money was not the same as that which I had given to the employee. The denominations of bills were smaller and it appeared some money had been removed. Would not recommend this company as it seems the office-based employee who handles bookings is stealing some of the tip money from the guides and porters who do all the actual hard work on the mountain

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.
