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.

An Unforgettable Safari Adventure in Tanzania

5 / 5 5 /5

Our safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti was truly one of the most amazing travel experiences we’ve ever had. Everything was very well organized, which made the whole journey stress-free.
The planning of the safari was excellent. Each day felt perfectly balanced — full of adventure but never rushed. The accommodations were also great: comfortable, and located in beautiful natural settings. My personal love is staying in tented camp-lodge Tukaone Serengeti camp surrounded by the African savannah! It made the experience absolutely special! Waking up to the sounds of nature and watching the sunrise and sunset over the plains is something I’ll remember for a long time.

A big part of why this safari was so special was our driver-guide, John. He was fantastic! Not only is he a very skilled driver (which is important on some of the park roads!) If anything unexpected came up, he handled it easily and always found a solution.

He also has
Read more an incredible eye for wildlife. Time after time he managed to spot animals that we would have completely missed on our own — lions resting in the tall grass, a leopard hidden in a tree, even rhinos far away in the distance.
Thanks to his skills — and a bit of luck — we managed to see the entire Big Five. That alone would have made the trip unforgettable. But we also had fun spotting the famous “Ugly Five”, which made the experience even more unique.

So, if you want to have the safari of your dreams, then with John as your driver you will on heaven!

Each park had its own atmosphere: the massive baobab trees and huge elephant herds in Tarangire, the breathtaking views and dense wildlife in the Ngorongoro Crater, and the endless plains of the Serengeti - my personal crash - filled with animals everywhere you look.
Overall, the safari exceeded our expectations — great organization, comfortable places to stay, incredible wildlife, and a truly excellent guide. We’re very grateful for this experience and would absolutely recommend it to anyone who dreams of seeing Tanzania’s amazing national parks. It was a trip we’ll never forget. 🐘🦁🌅

What can I say? We were well looked after from start to finish. We were treated well, and kindly. The people were open, friendly and the scenario and safari very special.
