Amazing! We thought we would maybe see one lion and it would be difficult to find. It was beyond our wildest dreams. Bucket list item!

Very beautiful

4 / 5 4 /5

No doubt Tanzania is a beautiful country. We visited 8 national parks. Tanzania has most animal, bird viewing compared to other countries in Africa. Go to any national park here we can see all animals easily. Ngorogoro crater is absolutely a blissful place. Serengeti had all the animals including big 5 easily seen. But accommodations around parks like mikumi , Ruaha are terrible. The roads are absolutely a nightmare. The road from Ruaha to Mikumi parks took 10 hours long drive. These conditions of the roads discourage tourists. The tour operators are not customer friendly. While the country has abundant animal life in the parks, tourists have very limited decent accommodation around small national parks. Also tourists are not treated the way they are treated in Kenya. Animal viewing is much much better than South Africa, Kenya, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Rwanda. Given opportunity, will definitely choose Ngorogoro and Serengeti over any place in the whole continent.

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.

The most amazing combination of wildlife and scenery.

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.
