20th wedding anniversary trip! - My husband Danny and I went on the safari for our 20th wedding anniversary. Naury was great arranging the trip and answering any questions I had ahead of getting there. Once there all the lodges were fab especially the 2 nights in the Serengeti, the food was far far better than I ever imagined and all the people working in these places worked incredibly hard and couldn’t do enough for us. Our tour guide swahibu was absolutely amazing, his knowledge of all the animals and national parks was incredible. We saw 4 of the big 5 but saw more animals than we expected to see and that was down to Swahibu knowing where to go and knowing the animals behaviour. We couldn’t have picked a better guide to be with for the 5 days and can’t recommend him highly enough. Trip of a lifetime made real by amazing people .. thank you all!! Lynn x

An insane trip with the best guide! - Freddie made this experience incredible. He told jokes, taught us some Swahili, and was knowledgeable and friendly. We couldn't have gotten a better guide. He made sure we had all we needed, from water, to food, to charging stations. He knew what all the animals we were looking at were, and lots of facts about each one. He would keep us informed on what the plan was, and made sure we got to everything we wanted. He was happy to talk with us and can make sure you see all the animals. He gives time for pictures and would make sure everyone in his car was happy and well taken care of! Maisha marefu to Freddie!!

Unforgettable trip with Salehe & Lion King - We had an amazing time with our guide, Salehe. He is very professional, humorous, and easy-going. He is full of knowledge about animals and provided us with expert explanations. His driving was safe and smooth, making the ride very comfortable. His great sense of humor made our trip incredibly fun! Our overall experience during the journey was excellent. The Lion King team was highly responsive, answering our questions quickly and making well-thought-out arrangements. One moment that really impressed me was when I accidentally left an item at the hotel. After informing Lion King, they promptly confirmed the situation and informed our guide, arranging for us to retrieve it the next day during our return trip. As for the equipment, the vehicle was comfortable and well-equipped with plenty of charging ports, so we never had to worry about our phones running out of battery. Lunch was plentiful and delicious, accompanied by an ample supply of soft drinks. What touched me the most was that they even prepared red and white wine personalized with my name!

Great intro safari experience - Gilbert was an exceptional safari guide — knowledgeable, attentive, and truly passionate about wildlife. He made every game drive exciting and informative, sharing fascinating details about animal behavior, ecosystems, and conservation efforts. His sharp eyes spotted animals we never would have seen on our own, and his calm, respectful approach ensured a peaceful experience for both us and the wildlife. Gilbert was also incredibly friendly and professional, making us feel safe and welcomed throughout the trip. Thanks to him, we had unforgettable encounters with lions, elephants, and more. Highly recommended — Gilbert made our safari experience outstanding in every way!

Wonderful first safari experience with a terrific guide - Our guide Gilbert was kind, super knowledgeable about animals, a skilled driver, and very experienced. The hotels that were picked for us were all great — comfortable, unique, served good food and had excellent service. We LOVED seeing all the animals and visiting the different parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro). The game drives were always interesting and well planned. Warm lunches were packed and served every day. The vehicle was very comfortable and cleaned after each day. Overall a really terrific experience — we would love to do this again.

Amazing Tour with Shafino ! - We‘ve had the best Experience with Lion King Adventure and our amazing guide Shafino who went beyond making our safari tour a memory for life. Thanks to him, we’ve had an incredible time seeing lions, leopards, hyenas, cheetas, and tons of elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests and many more. Shafino is a very professionell guide who has astonishing knowledge about nature and animals and never got tired by the amount of endless questions we’ve asked him. And his humour is great! The tour was easily and well-planned, foods and accomodations absolutely amazing. Definitely can recommend 10/10!

Unforgettable Safari with Lion King Adventures - We had the most incredible safari experience with Lion King Adventures! From the very beginning, the team was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to creating a personalized and memorable trip for us. Our journey began with Elia, who designed the perfect itinerary tailored to our preferences. We then communicated primarily with Rose, who was always quick to respond, helpful, and accommodating—even organizing a last-minute hot air balloon ride that became one of the highlights of our adventure! Simon picked us up from the airport and gave us a warm and friendly welcome. At the end of our safari, Tumain drove us to our hotel—another kind and helpful member of the team who made a great impression. The star of our trip, however, was our safari guide, Mwita. He truly made this experience extraordinary. Friendly, enthusiastic, and deeply passionate about wildlife, Mwita's knowledge of animal behavior was unmatched. He was respectful not only to us, but also to the animals and other guides—a true professional in every sense. One unforgettable moment was when he predicted the movements of a leopard and positioned us perfectly for a front-row, solo view an absolutely magical experience. He put in 12+ hour days to ensure we got the best out of every moment and tailored the experience to match our interests. Mwita also added personal touches that made the long drives even more enjoyable. He had music available in the vehicle and, every day, he downloaded songs we liked to create a custom soundtrack for our safari something we truly appreciated and will never forget. The safari vehicle itself was excellent; comfortable, equipped with power sockets, and stocked with cold water, soft drinks, beer, and even wine. I wholeheartedly recommend Lion King Adventures and if you have the chance, request Mwita as your guide. His passion, knowledge, and dedication will turn your trip into the adventure of a lifetime.

Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Lion King Adventures - This trip was absolutely incredible! Lion King Adventures was extremely communicative and accommodating, helping to make this once-in-a-lifetime experience possible despite limited availability and constraints. The accommodations, meals, and activities exceeded all expectations. A special shout-out to our tour guide, Pius, for providing a professional, knowledgeable, and truly unforgettable journey through the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
