Excellent 3 day Safari trip to Nyerere National Park
We were looking for a safari in Nyerere Park from October 21st to 23rd, and only this company was the only one that reacted quickly and offered a suitable tour. We agreed on a free transfer to and from the airport. After this we had paid for the first part online, and for the second part we paid in cash in dollars to the driver.
We were quietly taken to the airport, where we left our luggage (which we did not take on Safari) with the agent and at 6 a.m. we flew to the mainland.
Upon arrival, we were met and taken to the camp. There we were accommodated in a separate house, the room was spacious. We were well fed, there were breakfasts, lunches and dinners included in the tour. At our free time from excursions, we swam in the pool and sunbathed. But we didn't have an electricity all the time, it was served according to schedule, which means that there was no Internet at that time.
On the first day we had an excursion to the village, where we saw the lifestyle of the locals, and visited a walnut factory. It was interesting and unusual.
In the evening we had a boat Safari, where we sailed along the Rufiji River and we were told about the local nature. We saw a lot of hippos, several crocodiles and many surprising birds. We met the sunset on the one of the islands, it was very romantic!
On the second day, we woke up very early, had a breakfast and went on Safari for the whole day. This time we were lucky and my wife and I were alone in a jeep. We rode around the park all day, so we were a little tired in the evening. Also at 1p.m we had a lunch at the camp, where we ate near a huge baobab. (By the way, there were also several big baobabs on the territory of our camp).
We saw several elephants, a lot of giraffes, zebras and antelopes, several buffaloes. A lot of warts and monkeys. There were a huge number of hippos and crocodiles in the river, they were so many of them and we drove right to shore. Unfortunately, we didn't see the lions that day, they were hiding somewhere far away. And in October there is a dry season, many animals migrated to the other side of the river to less arid places.
I liked everything very much, we came back tired, but happy.
On the third day we had a very interesting walking tour with a bushman in the surrounding area. There he also let me try to smoke an elephant poop, it was unusual, but I didn't feel anything nasty.
After this tour, we had a time to rest and sunbathe and at 3 p.m. we were taken from the camp back to the runway, where we were waiting for our plane. After that, we came back to Zanzibar, where we stopped by to get our luggage and went to the hotel. Everything went pretty clear and well, I can't say anything bad.
In general, I recommend this company!

best experience ever!!
choosing lion riders was the best decision we’ve ever made! we went on a few safaris with Johnson and he was hands down the best driver. i’ve never seen so many animals in one day! Johnson was super knowledgeable about everything and i’ll definitely be choosing lion riders again next time :)

Fantastic first experience at Kruger Park
Ben is an excellent professional, friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgable and flexible.
He replied all questions on emails on time.
He arranged great accommodations at Satara Camp, which is laid back non pretentious and comfy, and to end my trip, at Kruger Shalati Train, which is Fantastic and luxury style
Ben was THE BEST TOUR GUIDE possible surpassing all my expectations. He has a wide knowledge of South Africa history, wild life and birds. He has excellent ears and eyes to spot all the animals, and I was really lucky to see many of them on my first time in Kruger thanks to him.
Also he arranged to take me to Blyde River Canyon for great views and pictures, with flexibility, which is very much appreciated.
This trip of 4 days in Kruger Park and the Canyon has been a total dream and beyond perfection thanks to Ben.

The best Safari Tour Guide
We had an amazing experience with Jackson and from the first moment we felt very safe with him and recognized that he has so much knowledge about the animals and the wildlife. All the other Guides totally respect him and I really had the feeling that he is the best Tour Guide. It was a pleasure to do the Safari with him and i would totally recommend him to everyone who wants to do a Safari in Tanzania!

This tour was perfect and exceeded all of our biggest hopes!
We had the best experience with Lion King Adventures. Our guide, Fred, truly showed us everything there was to see. We felt like we were experts by the end of our trip! We were taken care of so well. We adored every place of lodging we stayed at and the food was unmatched. Lion King Adventures took care of every ride we needed and communicated everything with us to the last detail. We honestly felt like we got a crazy deal for the adventure we had. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you to Rose, Caroline, and Fred at Lion King Adventures, and the folks at Arusha Planet Lodge, Eileen's Trees Inn, Embalakai Camp, Maru Maru Hotel, Nungwi Dreams, and the Residence for the impeccable service.
