Lion King Adventures goes above and beyond to make your dream safari the trip of a lifetime.
Having dreamt of going on a safari for oh-so-many years, it is an understatement to say that my expectations were exceptionally high.
After an 11 Day Safari & Beach excursion with Lion King Adventures, I’m delighted to say that our expectations were blown out of the water. My wife and I truly had the trip of a lifetime filled with unforgettable memories, spectacular sightings, and authentic Tanzanian experiences.
From beginning to end, the entire Lion King team was kind, considerate, and professional. Their expertise is indisputable, and we consider ourselves very fortunate for having booked with them instead of any other safari company.
Our itinerary took us from Arusha to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Zanzibar. This route provided us with a wide-ranging experience of the landscapes – and most importantly, the wildlife. Frankly, we were able to see just about every animal big and small on our bucket list – including a rare and intimate encounter with a leopard that courted its mate right next to our vehicle for several minutes.
To my surprise, the accommodations were extraordinary by any standard. Elegant, lavish, and luxurious, many of the places we stayed at could easily fit in as a swanky all-inclusive in Dubai or New York. But I doubt those locations have wildebeest greeting you for breakfast and hyena’s serenading you at night!
Tanzania is a stunning country with incredible eco-diversity, lush landscapes, and friendly people. I’m thrilled that we chose not only Lion King Adventures, but the country as our destination.
Finally, I’d be remiss not to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation to the Lion King Adventures' team who helped make our dream safari vacation a reality.
The booking process was greatly facilitated by Pendo, who promptly and smartly answered what must have been a thousand questions – and she was awesome and attentive throughout it all. From itineraries to hotels, to transportation, or covid protocols, she was always on it. Thank you, Pendo!
Lastly, a special thank you to our guide, Goodluck, who is easily one of the most knowledgeable, charming, and charismatic individuals we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Every day, Goodluck went above and beyond to not only be a great host but to ensure that we had the most rewarding experience possible. Thanks to him, we had so many rare moments and up-close sightings that only a few lucky souls get to witness. We’ll cherish these memories for a lifetime. Asante sana, Goodluck!
For anybody who has any doubts – don’t. This is a beautiful and eye-opening experience that has left us with long-lasting perspective. And Lion King Adventures is who we wholeheartedly recommend taking you there.
Amazing , wonderful, perfect , emotional
The safari of 3 days in Ngorongoro, Tarangire and Lake Manyara was excellent .We booked this safari just 4 days days before we arrived in Arusha , hamis replied to all of my questions in WhatsApp and organized everything.
We were welcomed at the airport by Andrew and Hamis , they briefed us about the safari and explained everything in details .
The safari was very well organized, the lodge, the food, the guide, the driver (Joseph and Lukas ), everything !
Thank’s to you guys, we made our dream come true and have seen 4 of the big 5 , it was perfect .

A lifetime experience made special
I strongly believe that this trip was made special because of Philo’s dedication and patience to tailor the plan to suit exactly what we were looking for. She was connected after we started our safari and provided support when needed until we made it back to Arusha. We forgot our charger in the AirBnb we stayed in when we first arrived in Arusha and she said not worry, she will handle it and she sure did. The best way to sum up our experience with Philo is you will be in safe hands with her and she will have your best interest as a priority.
Also, our guide Elie was equally as important as he made sure we had an outstanding experience when making the plan a reality. He always went the extra mile to make sure we get to experience and see the wildlife in the different parks. He is very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on all the different aspects of the trip (wildlife, parks, villages and random information about the country). I would not say that only luck played a role when seeing rare moments during our safari, but largely due to Elie’s dedication to go the extra mile to make it happen by seeking out information from other guides and following through with driving longer distances to reach these areas. Another important point, he is a very responsible and safe driver.
Thank you African Savanah Trekkers for this great experience, we are really thankful for everything.

Kasaka Tour is a great safari organizer who keeps all promises
I visited Mikumi NP together with two my kids in June thanks to Kasaka Tours :-). All promises were kept and we enjoyed our safari very much, especially my boys. Apart from safari, John (the owner) organised us also transport from the airport to the hotel, tickets to AZAM ferry as well as SIM card, so we are very grateful for him. I felt really taken care of John.
I have to mention also about Emanuel who was our safari guide and driver. He was always on time and drove us to safari very safely with smile on his mouth and Hakuna Matata sentence - no stress :-) Additionally thanks to his great eyes we had occasion to see even leopard in Mikumi, what is very rare, so we were very lucky :-)
Summing up, we can highly recommend Kasaka Tour because you won't be disappointed and you will survive great adventure for reasonable price :-).
John and Eman thank you very much ❤ Dorota, Janek and Adam

Amazing experience!!
I recently went on my first ever safari and I’m so happy that the crew at Samora explorers made this experience a memorable one. They made sure that we saw 4 of the big 5 and went out of their way to be very personable and funny! I will definitely book with them again when I go back to Tanzania in the future. If you’re unsure about which safari company to book, please go with this one as they will make you feel like family and will take care of you from beginning to end.

If we return (hopefully) it will be with a lifetime
Uganda with lifetime Safari and Sula
We had planned the trip for 2020, but with the catastrophic pandemic we had to postpone it to 2021 so we could continue saving to extend from 3 days, which was the initial plan, to 7 days. I have to say that 7 days are still few for this spectacular country. It should also be noted that we had read that the roads were very bad, but the main roads have been improved for a year and a half, so they are very bearable.
First of all, comment that with lifetime Safari the organization was all very simple and fast. Unbeatable value for money. Thank you very much Jesse! If Jesse is the engine that runs lifetime, the heart is Sula, our friend and guide. You just have to see how they receive you when you arrive at the destinations and recognize you, the workers in the accommodation light up their faces when they see you. Sula strives at all times for you to enjoy 120% of the trip, he does not stop until he finds the animals for you to see, with those binoculars that he has for eyes. He is a great driver, he makes you feel at home, safe at all times, it's like traveling with a friend. As everyone who knows him has told us he is a goodman. Part of our heart stays in Uganda and with Sula. We hope to be able to return and without a doubt make the trip again with Sula by our side. An experience that you cannot stop doing at least once in your life.

Amazing memories!
Me and my partner did the 8-day tour in Rwanda and cannot recommend it more!! They were accommodating to all our requests and the value for money we got for the trip was incredible. Baptiste, our guide, was just incredible!! He always got out of his way and helped us with everything along the way. We didn’t have to worry about anything. Really highly recommend to everyone!

30-Day safari...we couldn't have asked - wow, what a fabulous tour we had!
My husband and I are retired living in the U.S.A but we try to travel the world and decided to visit Namibia. I researched several tour sites and Blue Crane Safaris showed up more than several times. I contacted them and wow, what a schedule we worked out together. Our tour started with a standard 15 day trip and expanded to 30 days by the time we added all the sites my husband and I wanted to visit. Derek at Blue Crane Safaris was professional, prompt, informative, and was totally interactive to all our requests - and there were many. We planned a trip that covered the depth and breath of Namibia. During the process, Covid hit - travel was at a stand-still, reservations were hard to come by, but with Derek, we were able to continue the planning process and although we delayed our trip by 1 month, we experienced no issues....Derek was spot-on with all our trip arrangements. Our guide (Me-Gusto) was fabulous. He was prompt, professional, experienced, and so much fun to be with. When you are with a guide for 30 days, you better like each other. Me-Gusto loves geology, animals, history, plants, trees, and the environment. He was able to provide more information that we could have ever imagined. When we had to alter the schedule slightly because of the closure of locations, Me-Gusto ensured we were informed promptly and had back up plans ready. Without a doubt, Blue Crane Safaris, Derek Jacobs, and Me-Gusto made our trip to Namibia absolutely special. In fact, we were so pleased with their services, we decided to stay an extra month and utilize their self-drive rental vehicles and take a personal trip to a few areas we still wanted to see that were not on the schedule. Again and again, they proved their services were exceptional and we would recommend them should you wish to travel to Namibia with a company that is reliable, reasonably priced, professional, and the nicest people we have met!
