Just returned from an amazing 4 day camping Safari in Tanzania. Our guide Mike was lovely, friendly and very professional as well as very informative about all the fabulous wildlife. His driving skills were amazing, going above and beyond to catch the wildlife up close, whilst still maintaining a respectful distance. I saw an abundance of different animals, amongst the most beautiful scenery every day. Food was great, no complaints, though perhaps as an older female will not choose camping again, due to Buffalo outside my tent, scary but its Africa so no problem, but a bit too close for comfort! But that is just my personal preference. This did not take away the wonderful fantastic good memories and lovely pictures. Tanzania take a bow. Loved it all.

I had a really great time visiting the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Everything was peaceful and beautiful. Watching animals in their natural environment was something new for me. I truly enjoyed every moment of this trip.

My trip to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania was amazing. The views were beautiful and the wildlife was incredible. Seeing a lion in real life was the best part for me. It was a special experience that I will always remember.

My wife and I chose Tanzania for our honeymoon as our first step into exploring Africa after mostly traveling throughout Asia. I’m a filmmaker and she’s a teacher, and after extensive research, we chose Lion King Adventures due to their excellent reviews and reputation.

The most important part of a safari is the guide, and ours, Haruni, made the experience exceptional. He was knowledgeable, honest, and personable, sharing both wildlife expertise and stories from growing up in Tanzania. Thanks to his effort and coordination, we were able to see the Big Five and the Great Migration, which exceeded our expectations. He even introduced us to his hometown and family, which gave us a meaningful cultural experience beyond just the parks.

The safari itself was incredible. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. There are quiet stretches, but then suddenly unforgettable wildlife moments. We drove in a Land Rover with a pop-up
Read more roof, and cruising through the savannah felt like something out of an Indiana Jones film. As a filmmaker, I highly recommend bringing a telephoto camera if you enjoy photography.

The lodging was a mix of tented camps and lodges. Friendship Camp and Moonbow Lodge were excellent and felt special for a honeymoon. One camp during rainy weather lacked hot water, which was uncomfortable, so honeymooners may want to consider luxury-level camps for more consistency.

Communication with Lion King Adventures was good overall, though response times were sometimes slow during the planning stage. They did include a thoughtful honeymoon gesture, which we appreciated.

Our only negative experience was with Olea Farm Lodge, which mishandled drink charges and lacked price transparency. This was frustrating, but it was an isolated issue and not reflective of the overall safari.

Overall, this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we felt well taken care of throughout the trip. I would absolutely recommend Lion King Adventures, and especially Haruni, to anyone planning their first safari.

We went during late February and got to see the tail end of the Great Migration in the Serengeti. There were a ton of baby animals, and huge herds of zebra, wildebeest and cape buffalo. The weather was perfect outside of a couple late evening rainstorms. We managed to see the Big 5. There weren't a ton of vehicles in the parks and there were plenty of times where we were the only car in the area. Id highly recommend Tanzania and the January to February months for the Migration.

We visited Tanzania with very high expectations which were easily surpassed. The variety and number of animals and birds that we saw and got close to made it an amazing and unforgettable trip. We saw all of the big 5 and much more. Our guide from Sense of Africa was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing that knowledge and making our experience the best that it could be. After a busy and amazing safari, we relaxed in Zanzibar where the sunrises over the ocean were breathtaking - if you get the opportunity to visit Tanzania grab it with both hands, you will not be disappointed.

Safari in Tanzania was unforgettable. We visited Serengeti Park and Nogorongoro Crater. Three days in the car, but it was not boring. A lot of animals - especially zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, lions. In Ngoringoro Crater the same only more birds. Our tour operator was at a high level, as in Europe.
