        Professional, organized high quality
        We did a 6 day, 5 night safari in Tanzania (Tarangie, Serengeti (2 nights) Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara). All were beautiful and unique and highlighted different species of animals. I was most surprised by the amount and how close we were too so many. Our lodgings, all were first class (Hotel Gran Melia, Accacia Farm Lodge and Nyota Luxury Camp). Food was really good and our guide, Sulieman was exceptional. Would highly recommend.

        Choose Lion King!
        My husband and I did the 12-Day Mid- Luxury Northern Circuit Safari & Beach tour and had an amazing time. Lion King took care of all the logistics from start to finish and it was seamless. Our safari guide, Huruma, was fantastic and so knowledgeable. We saw the big 5 and so much more. Also highly recommend staying in Nyota Luxury camp which is also owned by Lion King. We would confidently recommend Lion King to anyone looking to do a safari in Tanzania!

        Our Amazing Safari
        We are so happy we went with Lion King Adventures for our safari - it was truly an amazing and unforgettable trip. The communication from the beginning as we were reserving the trip was easy and quick, with all our questions answered in a timely manner which helped make this process seamless and put us at ease heading into the trip. We went on a 6-day trip with Lion King Adventures and went to all the places we were hoping to see: Tarangire, Serengeti, Ndutu, and Ngorongoro Crater. Our safari guide, Geofrey Wanka, was fantastic and was truly a large reason why our trip was particularly so special and memorable. Geofrey greeted us every morning with a big smile. He was very informative and knowledgeable, teaching us so much about not only the animals we encountered but also about the beautiful country of Tanzania. He always made sure we were comfortable and prioritized what we wanted to see during the trip. We never felt rushed, and we easily saw the big 5 plus so many more animals on our trip (and he always got us the best views). His kindness and expertise throughout our safari made a lasting impression on us as we experienced an adventure of a lifetime. We highly recommend others book with Lion King Adventures and to also ask for Geofrey as their guide!

        The trip of a lifetime!!
        Lion King Adventures helped my dad and I take the trip of a lifetime and we could not recommend them highly enough for your Tanzanian safari. We were apprehensive about visiting in the low/rainy season and had heard that we may not see as many animals, but thanks to our wonderful guide Suleiman’s expertise, we were able to see the Big 5 and much more over our perfectly executed 7 day safari. Suleiman was kind, professional, and by the end of the trip felt like family that we were sad to leave behind. Each lodge chosen by Lion King was luxurious, clean, and had wonderful staff and delicious food. They accommodated all of our special requests and treated us with such wonderful hospitality. We were able to see all of the major parks, and Suleiman always positioned our safari vehicle in perfect spots to take photos. He was excellent at spotting animals and helped us see ultra rare sights like leopard and lion cubs. He offered information about the animals and environment, answered all of our questions, and overall made sure that we were comfortable and satisfied every step of the way. From the seamless booking process, personalization of our trip, to the thoughtful touches on the safari, to the easy coordination of transfers, we loved working with Lion King and would recommend them to anyone looking to have an unforgettable safari adventure.

        Best African Safari Experience
        For my wife’s 60th birthday we decided to check one of her bucket list items off and went on an African safari. We used Lion King as our safari company. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience. We were helped by Rose and Jovitha to make the arrangements. We arrived in Tanzania and spent our first night in Arusha and were met in the morning by our guide Shebi. We then spent the rest of the week traveling across the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, staying at 4 different luxury camps. During the day, Shebi would drive us in our comfortable 4x4 Land Rover with pop up top on game trails where we saw many animals including the big 5. We got so close to lions, elephants, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, baboons, pumas, hyenas, giraffes, leopards, rhinos, and many other creatures that we hadn’t expected to see. Shebi shared all kinds of info and had a keen sense of where to go to find them. The highlight of the trip was a sunrise balloon ride over the Serengeti. The lodges we stayed at were wonderful with great food and amenities. For the second week we went to Zanzibar to rest up at a beach resort. Ultimately this was a trip of a lifetime where we learned and experienced so much about Africa, the history and people, and the amazing animals that still roam wild in nature. I highly recommend Lion King for this trip and to ask for Shebi to be your guide.

        An unforgettable experience with the best guide
        We had an incredible experience with Lyon King. Before the trip, they responded promptly and adapted to our needs. We took a 4-day, 3-night safari, visiting the Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Conservation Areas. The accommodations were perfect, especially the Serena in Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The food was delicious, and the lunches were well-equipped so we could eat in the parks without any problems. They even included wine! The car seemed to be similar to all the others, very comfortable for seeing the animals and traveling, with a refrigerator stocked with drinks and air conditioning. But without a doubt, the best of all was Enock, our incredible guide. Thanks to him, we had an amazing experience, and with a bit of luck, we managed to see the Big 5 and many other animals. He answered all our questions and always had the best disposition and good vibes. A awesome guy! We had a unforgettable trip. I recommend Enock and Lion King 100%.

        Amazing safari experience
        Our trip was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. With so many tour operators in Tanzania it was overwhelming to choose the right one and wow was this the right one! Our guide Saleh was incredible with laser sharp eyes - I don’t know how he spotted so many animals from so far away or hiding in the brush. We saw everything we wanted to see and more and it truly was the trip of a lifetime. 100% recommend using lion king adventures!!

        Dream Safari Trip
        I’ve dreamed of doing an African safari for many years and trusted this company with our experience. I’m very happy to report they delivered on their promises and we had a lovely experience. My husband coordinated with their booking team which accommodated changes to the reservation and a last minute change to our dates. Jackson, our tour guide, was critical to making our experience a positive one. He was the face of our trip and kept us informed throughout the safari of the animals as well as history of the locations. I would recommend and would be happy to use him as a guide in the future. Thank you to him for all he did to make our experience memorable.

        10yr anniversary safari
        We had a great experience throughout our safari. Florida was exceptionally accommodating in tailoring our accommodations and agenda to our desires. We were reluctant at first to send money to Africa up front but given they responsiveness and reputation on TripAdvisor we went forward and had no issues. Our guide Jackson did an excellent job explaining the different animals and locations throughout the parks. He was responsible, knowledgeable and friendly with us, constantly making sure we were taken care of and happy with our experience. We would recommend him to others. Our accommodations were beautiful. We wanted physical lodges and the tour company delivered on our desires.

        Premium Safari in every respect
        Very professional. Very well planned. Exellent respect for the animals. Ambitious and very knowledgeable guides. If there were a sixth star to give, our guides Leonard and Joseph would be the first to qualify.

        Wonderful experience!! I would do it again in a heartbeat 💗
        It was the trip of a lifetime!! Gilbert, our guide, was amazing. My friends and I gave home the nickname of “perfect timing”. Over and over Gilbert got us the perfect spot to see all the animals. To be so close to all the different animals was a dream come true. We saw so many it is hard to list them all!! Birds, zebras, giraffes, lots of lions 🦁, cheetahs, leopards, wildebeests, elephants, hippos and black rhinos. I am probably forgetting a few. Gilbert was very knowledgeable about the all the animals. He routinely surprised us with information on our surroundings. We had delicious hot meals everyday for lunch. Prepared by the various hotels/camps we stayed in. Gilbert set up a table cloth and set the table with silverware and plates, no plastic! Our hotels/camps were wonderful. We felt welcomed in each one. The beds were comfortable and the shower’s hot. I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures and our guide, Gilbert!! Thanks for a dream come true safari!

        Luther the GOAT
        In August 2024 my wife and I went on our honeymoon where we enjoyed a private safari lead by our guide, Luther. He lead us to Tarangire National Park, two days in the Serengeti (my personal favorite), Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. I really can't give enough praise to Luther for leading us through this exceptional safari. Over and over again, it felt like he was leading us through the road less traveled, and it continued to pay off with an unbelievable amount of wildlife that we got to see up close. There were several moments where we were the only safari vehicle there (or one of very few) to see some incredible animals. In addition to the "standard" elephants, giraffes, baboons, antelope, hyenas, warthogs, and many others, we also saw a leopard eating an antelope in a tree, hyenas waiting for the scraps to fall from the tree, a lioness waiting in the grass next to some zebras, two cheetah families, rhinos, around 30 lions (we counted...), and many more. This was a once in a lifetime experience, and we have Luther and Lion King Adventures to thank for it. The private safari was customizable to what we wanted to see, and the accommodations (for the mid-range) FAR exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed private rooms and showers every night, wonderful food, and the best gosh darn safari guide south of the equator. Lastly, I'd recommend anyone considering a safari in Africa to find a company that is locally owned, like Lion King Adventures. I was astounded in doing my research by how many safari companies are owned by people outside of Africa. Do your research, and support Tanzanian owned with your choice! Trust me, you won't regret it if you go with Lion King :)

        Most amazing Africa experience we could have asked for!
        Went with my parents for my mom’s 60th birthday and our 6-day safari trip to Tanzania with Lion King Adventures was extraordinary. Our tour guide, Shabani, was incredibly passionate and dedicated to ensuring we had the best experience possible. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he made it his mission to help us see a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, hippos, zebras, antelopes, gazelles, and even a black rhinoceros. The accommodations provided by Lion King Adventures were top-notch, with beautiful camps that offered comfort and luxury amidst the wild. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better safari experience. Lion King Adventures exceeded our expectations, and Shabani's dedication and knowledge made the trip unforgettable. We highly recommend this company for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Tanzania!

      We had an incredible honeymoon safari with our guide Mwita!
      Lion King adventures were fantastic from my initial inquiry to Jovitha and Nickson, who were very helpful and happy to change itinerary based on our flights, price preferences and number of days we wanted to be in certain places. We had a set budget that we wanted to work within and the team did a great job of modifying the itinerary to fit this.
      From our arrival at Kilimanjaro airport where someone was waiting to pick us up, we felt safe and reassured the whole time.
      We stayed two nights at Forest Hill hotel in Arusha and did a trip to waterfalls. We were then pick up by Mwita and driven to Tarangire National Park which was an amazing place to start safari as there were so many animals in such a concentrated place and we were super excited to see a leopard, so many elephants, impala, monkeys, and giraffes. We stayed at Lake Buurunge Tented Camp which had amazing views over the lake and a nice pool. We went on a night drive that evening with a ranger and guide and saw lions, hyena, chameleons, and owls. Having breakfast on the terrace with sunrise over the lake was beautiful!
      The next two days were spent in Ndutu (southern Serengeti) and central Serengeti. Mwita made a special effort to drive us a really long way to Ndutu so we could see the big cats, as these are harder to see in the long grasses in central Serengeti at this time of year. We saw a mother and two baby cheetahs, a massive pride of lions with a male, 3 mothers and all the babies! We also saw all the wildebeest and zebras who were doing the migration which was incredible. We stayed two nights at Nyota luxury camp which is owned by Lion King, and we really loved it there and didn’t want to leave!!
      We did a sunrise balloon safari with Serengeti Balloon Safaris which was unbelievable amazing.
      Our final day was in Ngorongoro Crater to see the black rhinos which was very cool and ticked off our final of the Big 5.
      We stayed in Karatu Simba Lodge for our final night which wasn’t as good as our other accommodation but was in a stunning location next to the Ngorongoro forest.
      Mwita ensured we were able to see everything we wanted to which was amazing. His expertise about the bush was incredible as he had grown up in Seronera and his dad was head ranger of the Serengeti! He is so passionate about his job and the nature and is very respectful of the animals, not getting the car too close and not wanting to give the animals a bad experience, whilst balancing giving us a great experience. He knew everything about all of the animals which was so helpful and gave us great insight into the local culture and Maasai.
      We are now heading for a week in Zanzibar, which lion king booked our flights and accommodation for.
      The car we were travelling in (called Rafiki) was very comfortable and was great for the very bumpy roads, called an African massage 😂
      Overall Lion King were amazing and we would recommend them and Mwita to everybody! We loved Tanzania and can’t wait to come back!!

      From the very beginning working the Lion King Safari company has been great! We wanted a memorable honeymoon and we were able to customize what we wanted to do and where we wanted to stay. They were communicative and professional at every step of the process, even when mid trip when we were informed we would need to switch accommodations at our next stop. Our main contact Nickson was always available to answer our questions and take care of our booking/travel needs before and during the trip! When traveling to another country you need someone like Nickson who will answer any question (no matter how big or how small like is this okay to pack?). We felt so comfortable when leaving because of his constant communication and had no worries our entire trip as we knew we could check in with him.

      The actual trip was beyond what we hoped for and it was all thanks to Juma!

      I knew I was going to love Juma when we met him and he eagerly said “Let’s go get lost!”
      Juma is incredibly kind, attentive, and always thoughtful in his actions. He was excited and communicative each day, keeping us informed and collaborating with us on our wants, needs, interests in what to see, and schedule. His cheerful demeanor and laughter is infectious, he's always singing, smiling and checking in to make sure you have an enjoyable day. Juma’s mom was a teacher and he could have been one too! He has a wealth of knowledge about plants, animals, and history of the area making the experience even more enriching. His instincts and navigational sense were always spot on, he consistently had us in the right place at the right time (something you find out is of the upmost importance when trying to see animals constantly on the move). He’ll even help you take the best photos!!! Juma always gave ample time for us to see the animals but was kind and considerate of other jeeps and people wanting to see too. Juma is an amazing driver using road knowledge and the capabilities of his Land Cruiser to give you an exhilarating ride, just hold on and enjoy the views!

      Every company can offer you a similar itinerary, but those with the best drivers are the ones that make your experience magical and memorable. And Juma is one of those drivers he is truly a happy soul that was the heart of our trip! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, he made the trip everything we dreamed it would be.

      Where to start with this review! THE BEST TRIP EVER!!

      This trip was for our honeymoon and we were a little apprehensive when booking because Lion King Adventures are not a UK based company. We sent our payments by wise money and were in frequent contact with Rose (superstar!!) to confirm when they received our money.

      Rose who works in the office was absolutely excellent with almost instant communication by emails sorting out all of our transfers and extra requests with no hassle at all - we asked for an extra night in Arusha to recover from the flights and this was added without any issues, and then we asked to be upgraded to full board from the bed and breakfast on the original itinerary which was also added with no issues. She kept in frequent contact with us and sent an extremely helpful email the week before we set off with final confirmations regarding pick up and drop offs from airports and hotels / lodges.

      When we arrived we were welcomed and collected from the airport by Tuimina who was extremely friendly and helpful explaining more about Tanzania as we were taken to our first hotel.

      We had two nights in the Gran Melia Arusha which is probably the nicest hotel I’ve ever stayed in before starting our safari.

      Then the Safari, wow!! We had the best guide we could have asked for (Lucky) and we saw everything we wanted, including the big 5, and so much more! When we were out on the game drives Lucky was like an encyclopaedia of knowledge about the animals and land, and if there was a very, very rare question he didn’t know the answer to, his trusty top trumps cards had it! Lucky was so flexible and basically worked completely around us and even managed to sort out a visit to a traditional Masai Boma (I’d definitely recommend this too) with less than 24 hours notice. He sorted pick ups and drop offs around our schedule and even took us on an early morning game drive where we were pretty much the only vehicle in the Serengeti! Lucky knew all of the different territories for the animals so was able to drive us to the positions where we were most likely to see the animals and pretty much did every time. Then when we got there, he always managed to get the Jeep in the position for the best photos and sightings. The Jeep was great, very spacious (and air conditioned) and Lucky’s driving was excellent on extremely bumpy and rough terrain. There were lots of vehicles getting stuck or breaking down but Lucky stopped for 15 minutes before our third day to ‘check the vehicle’ and we had absolutely no issues at all.

      Lucky then drove us to the airport for the flight to Zanzibar.

      We were made to feel so safe, welcome and valued on our safari adventure. I couldn’t recommend Lion King Adventures highly enough.

      Lion King is a great company and working with Pendo to coordinate our trip was seamless. Pendo and the Lion King team were easy to contact, accommodated our changing needs during planning, and checked in with our safari tour guide, Haruni, throughout the entirety of the safari tour. Our guide, Haruni, made the safari experience unforgettable. He was always punctual, ensuring our schedule ran smoothly and that we maximized our safari days. Haruni's extensive knowledge of animals, state parks, and local culture kept us engaged and informed throughout the trip, especially on long drives between parks. His driving skills were impeccable navigating very tough terrain comfortably and allowing us to get close to wildlife safely. Haruni’s sense of humor, professionalism, and attention to detail, including managing our food allergies, and making sure the safari keep were clean each day were outstanding. If you're booking with Lion King, I highly recommend requesting Haruni as your guide for an exceptional safari experience.

      Our 12-day luxury honeymoon safari with Lion King Adventures was an experience we will cherish forever. Everything was flawlessly organized, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of Tanzania without a single worry.

      The real highlight of our journey was our exceptional guide, Benjamin. He was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. Thanks to his expertise, we had front-row seats to two of the most breathtaking moments in nature—witnessing an elephant give birth and seeing a lion hunt unfold right before our eyes. These once-in-a-lifetime encounters left us completely in awe and made our honeymoon truly unforgettable.

      From stunning luxury lodges to the most picturesque sundowners in the heart of the Serengeti, every aspect of the trip was perfect. The wildlife sightings were spectacular, the service was impeccable, and the memories we made will last a lifetime.

      If you’re looking for an extraordinary safari experience, especially for a honeymoon, Lion King Adventures is the way to go. A huge thank you to Benjamin and the entire team for making our trip so special—we can’t wait to return!

      Booking with Lion King Adventures was the best decision we could have made for our honeymoon in Tanzania. From the moment we reached out (by recommendation and other similar reviews to this one) to our final day in Tanzania, they were incredible. While they were so flexible and accommodating to what we wanted to do, they also came up with great itineraries and accommodations. Our guide, Wilson, was truly the best. We feel so lucky to have been paired with him as he was so knowledgeable about all the national parks we visited and always had our best interest in mind. He was an extremely skilled driver on the sometimes very uneven (and wet for us in the low season) roads. He helped us achieve our goal of seeing the big 5 which we will forever be grateful for. We truly enjoyed our time together so much!

      P.S. We did this trip in April which is typically considered low season, however we were blessed with such great weather, tons of animal sightings and no crowds that we would definitely recommend booking this time of year!

      Our 14-day Lion King Adventure was nothing short of extraordinary! The journey took us through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti, and finally to the Northern Serengeti, where we witnessed the most spectacular highlight of the trip – the Great Migration. Seeing the wildebeest cross the Mara River was an experience we will never forget. The sheer volume of animals, the intensity of the crossing, and the raw beauty of nature left us speechless.Our guide and driver, Ozzy, was incredible. His deep knowledge of the wildlife and the landscape made every moment educational and thrilling. He ensured we got the best views of the animals, including the Big Five, as well as some truly remarkable sightings of leopards and cheetahs. Ozzy answered every question with expertise and enthusiasm, which made the entire trip even more enjoyable. The Land Cruiser was comfortable and reliable, even as we covered over 2,000 kilometers of rugged terrain.Lion King Adventures provided impeccable door-to-door service, from picking us up at Kilimanjaro Airport to dropping us off at the end of our trip in Zanzibar. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and organization were flawless. If you're looking for a safari adventure, I highly recommend Lion King Adventures – this was the experience of a lifetime!

      We are sitting at the airport after our safari tour waiting to go to Zanzibar to see the beautiful beaches and, even though we are excited, all we can think about is how sad we are to leave the Serengeti and our wonderful safari guide, Goodluck. Everything about the first half of our honeymoon was incredible. From the first moment we met Goodluck at our hotel in Arusha, until the end of the trip he made us feel completely at home. He explained everything to us clearly and shared so much of his valuable knowledge and wisdom with us. Not only did he know all about every animal we saw, but he also taught us so much about the culture of Tanzania. We had so much fun getting to know and learn from him during our six-day safari tour. You can tell that he is a very kind and funny person because everyone you meet is happy and smiling to see him on the road. He even laughed at my husband’s bad jokes and told some better ones of his own. Even when we had a little bit of car trouble on the treacherous roads of the Serengeti - which can be a common occurrence - he found another great guide to make sure we did not miss any part of our tour and still got our bags to the lodge got the jeep fixed on time to take us to the airport the next day. You will hear everyone at the safari lodges saying they have the best safari guide - but we know that Goodluck is truly the best one out there.

      We also have to shout out Naurey and Rose from Lion King Adventures who made the whole booking and planning process easy and seamless. They answered all our questions clearly and promptly and were very kind and welcoming throughout both the trip and planning process. We cannot wait to see what the second half of our trip will hold thanks to all these amazing people.

      We had an amazing experience on our honeymoon safari and are so happy we booked with Lion King Adventures! From the initial quote and booking process with Caroline to working with Rose on the reservation/logistics team, the staff has been extremely professional, friendly, and with excellent communication, and they made the whole trip very easy and stress-free from start to finish. Rose even helped coordinate with our airline in getting our lost luggage back to us very early on in the trip.

      Our safari guide Aman was AMAZING! He was extremely experienced and knowledgeable about everything we saw and knew exactly where to go and position the jeep for the best views of all the animals up close. We saw the Big 5 and were amazed at how close we got to see all the animals. He was also very skilled at driving through a rainstorm, and we felt very safe the entire time. Aman made sure we had the best experience and we are so grateful he was our guide.

      Highly recommend booking with Lion King Adventures!

      We had a SPECTACULAR time with Lion King Adventures. Before our trip I wondered how a company could have consistent 5 star reviews… but now I know why! Lion King is a top notch local tour company (it was important to us that our money went to a local company in Tanzania). They absolutely deserve those 5 stars :)

      From the trip organization prior to our departure, to the thoughtful and hospitable service throughout our trip, Lion King impressed us every step of the way. Their recommendations for places to stay, activities, and how best to maximize our time in Tanzania made our trip truly memorable.

      Our guide, Aziz, was incredibly knowledgeable about all the wildlife, friendly, and remarkably good at finding the best views of animals. I highly recommend you request Aziz if you’re wanting an excellent guide— it makes all the difference!

      This was a trip of a lifetime! Thank you Lion King, we will be recommending you to all our friends!
