Expert knowledge en very flexible. Feels very confident doing the trip with Grassrootz.
We have made a 3 week tour. What a fantastic beautiful country, so many beautiful animals and many more sweet and nice people.
Sander van Zanten, the Uganda expert from Grassroots has put together a nice trip where everything was in. It was perfectly put together. Nice that Sander adjusted the trip because the flights were changed (corona), which was no problem. He kept thinking along, great!
Our guide David Otto has been the linchpin in this amazing trip. He is very nice, man to eat with and talk to, a great guide, a very good game spotter and a fantastic driver. David knows every road in Uganda according to us. We have always felt very safe. It all felt very good.

Solotraveler friendly!
I am a solo traveler and decided to book with Mufasa last minute for two private safaris. Everything was great from the planning to the end. My guide Nelson was awesome and we got along great. Great game drives and felt very well taken care of. Rates were reasonable and worth the private route. They really value customer feedback and I would highly recommend Mufasa!

Good Services and Hospitality
Me, my beloved wife Jessica and our son James decide climb Mt Kilimanjaro via Lemosho route and 4 days safari with Boker Adventures Company this month August and manage to make it to the Uhuru Summit.
This has been possible without the best time organized by Boker Adventures Company. The guides were very friendly and cooperative all time since we started climbing. They checked our health every morning and evening before we slept to make sure me and my families are healthy well. They pushed us to the limit and courage us especially on the night before summit. We were almost about to given up at Stella point but Juma, Rashid and Mudi (Guides) inspired us to kept trying. Uhuru peak it’s was the best and beautiful place to be as the zone was covered with ice with amazing view, so we took photos with my family for best memories.
The cook was so nice and knows to cook varieties of healthy food and on time, we never climbed empty stomach, he make sure we get warm and fresh food everyday though I was so surprised how faster he is to make food at every point. Thank you for the Abbas the cook. Also porters were really strong and powerful, they were walking very fast as all the time we reached at the camp we found them already there waiting for us with all big duffle bags. They were doing a great job.
After descending back we overnight in moshi and next day travel to tarangire national park, Ngorongoro and Serengeti National park. We were so happy to see animals close on their natural nature. We managed to see all big fives and birds. The guide English was brilliant and had a big knowledge about animals and birds. After safari we went straight to the airport with our guide. Thanks you so much Erasto ( tour Guide)
On behalf of my family I wish to acknowledge the effort and hospitality Peter the director and your team for endless updates you shared with us from booking our flight, hotels and all tour until the last day. Your hard working team is the result of your success.
I will always recommend you as a trusted company for tourism in Tanzania.
Thanks

Perfectly organized Safari with Hosea
Joseph organized this trip from the beginning to the end and everything was above our expectations. He even helped us with rebooking the flights after Kenya Airways cancelled our flight from ZNZ to Nairobi.
The lodges he booked for us were fantastic, perfectly clean, great locations, and the food was good. We had a private Safari tour of Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara with Hosea, who is the most amazing guide-driver. He found all the animals on our check-list, including the Big Five. Advice – pay an additional fee for the open roof Land Cruiser as we did. Totally worth it and it is better for crazy Safari roads

Absolutely amazing, highly recommend
We just finished a 9 day, 8 night luxury safari and 2 night, single day Mt. Kilimanjaro trek with Lion King Adventures (11 days, 10 nights total), and it is difficult to put into words how incredible our trip was and how fantastic Lion King Adventures is.
I’ll start with our safari: for many months, we worked with the Lion King Adventures main office team, including Nick and Pendo, to plan the safari of our dreams. The office team was very helpful and patient as we asked numerous questions and waited to assess the travel landscape amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. We explained exactly the type of safari, lodges/camps, and overall experience we were looking for and the team crafted the perfect itinerary for us - taking into consideration that my husband doesn’t like flying, while I don’t like long car rides! After many months of fine-tuning our itinerary, we finalized what ultimately became the best trip for us. In advance of our travel, Pendo also provided all of the useful information we needed, including a packing list, safari guide, information on visas, COVID testing requirements, and more.
We began our trip in North Serengeti, and upon arrival at the airstrip there, we were greeted by our amazing guide/driver, Mwita. It became clear instantly that Mwita was a true expert in all things safari, from the animals to the driving. During our time on safari, we were able to see THREE river crossings of the Great Migration in North Serengeti, all of the animals you could possibly see in the Central Serengeti, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, gazelles, hippos, buffalos and more, the endangered and rare black rhino in Ngorongoro Crater, hundreds of elephants in Tarangire and more. In addition to his expertise around the major animals spotted on safari, our guide Mwita was also extremely knowledgeable about birds, and we spotted dozens of ibis, storks, lilac breasted rollers, pelicans, egrets, herons and rare eagles. We were often among the first, if not the first, to arrive to see key animal sightings.
Mwita was also an excellent driver, and navigated the dirt roads of the national parks and the highways outside the parks with great skill. We always felt very safe in Mwita’s car, and it turns out he actually has taught many safari guides how to drive!
Our trip was also enhanced by the strong relationships that Lion King Adventures has with the beautiful lodges and camps throughout Tanzania, and the respect that all other companies and accommodations clearly show for Lion King. Mwita knew many of the other drivers and guides throughout our trip, and received very valuable information via the radio in our safari vehicle that helped us to see some of the best animals. Over the course of our 11 days, Mwita became like family and in addition to his expertise, he is also a wonderful person, passionate about Tanzania, animals, nature, family and more.
What made our trip so great was that Mwita was an expert in both the big things, like where and when to spot the best animals and how to navigate the parks, to the small things like shortcut roads and where we could find good bathrooms all throughout our journey! Overall, our safari far exceeded even our greatest expectations thanks to Mwita’s expertise and the Lion King team selecting such stunning and luxurious accommodations for us at each destination.
After our safari, we also arranged a single-day partial hike of Mt. Kilimanjaro with Lion King Adventures. Upon arrival in Moshi, Mwita introduced us to our trekking guide, Imran. Before we even set out for the day, we realized that Imran was a true Kilimanjaro pro - he has been climbing there for over 12 years, and has summitted over 200 times!
We had a very memorable day hike, getting to see the first base camp Mandara Hut and the Maundi Crater. Imran always put safety first, while also gauging our preferred pace and pointing out notable things along the way, such as mountain flowers, waterfalls, birds and rare black & white Colobus monkeys! Imran was also very thoughtful and stopped us for numerous photo opportunities to help us memorialize our hike! It was a great end to our time in Tanzania - being able to say you’ve climbed part of Kili is something you’ll never forget - and I’d also strongly recommend it as part of any Tanzania travel itinerary.
All in all, our safari and hiking experiences were truly “once in a lifetime”. We left Tanzania very happy with how our vacation went, extra grateful that we chose Lion King Adventures for our journey, and quite sad to have to leave. It’s also worth noting that my husband and I have been very careful with COVID-19 and we were quite worried about traveling so far from home ahead of our trip, but the entire 11-day adventure was very COVID-safe, we never felt concerned at any point, and all of the accommodations that Lion King selected had strict pandemic protocols in place to ensure guests’ safety.
I’d highly recommend Mwita, Imran, and the entire Lion King Adventures team to anyone and everyone looking to travel to Tanzania for safari, trekking and more and we hope to come back again ourselves one day!

AMAZING!!
This was an amazing experience that I will never forget... Throughout the whole trip de staff provided us with assistance and guidance which made the experience a lot better than expected. We also got the chance to meet people and made friends from other countries and different cultures. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to live something special.
