What an incredible experience!! - Lion King Adventures gave been amazing and our guide Haruni was excellent. I couldn’t recommend them enough! I spent a while getting quotes from at least 7 different companies and Lion King Adventures were by far the most responsive and best value.
The booking process was easy and the team were very communicative over WhatsApp - thanks to Florida and Elia.
The safari itself was incredible. We saw a huge variety of animals in 4 days (over 20 lions, a cheetah with three baby cubs, lots of elephants, giraffes, zebras and a rhino in the distance). Haruni gave us lots of time with the animals to take photos, moving the car to different angles, and also letting us look through his binoculars.
Haruni’s ability to spot animals and birds whilst also driving a 4x4 was unbelievable (have a look at my photos and see if you can spot the bird called a spotted thick knee - he saw that whilst driving and stopped to show us!). He spoke excellent English, was welcoming, fun but still professional. Even small things like offering toilet breaks at every opportunity made such a difference. And I cannot believe how well he could navigate the parks! He knew exactly where to go and didn’t use a map once!
The accommodation was really nice (especially Nyota Luxury Camping) and all the hotels we stayed in were clean and welcoming. They were all able to accommodate to my vegan dietary requirements for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The car was clean with a fridge stocked up with water, soft drinks, wine and beer. There are electricity points and drinks holders. The guide had a pair of Nikon binoculars which allowed us to see every detail of the animals and birds.
We did the 4 day mid range tour which was great but I do wish I booked an extra day in the Serengeti. With the driving between parks you do feel like you want more time in each one and the park permit only lasts 24 hours. I would definitely recommend staying in the Serengeti for more than one night if you can. We went in mid May and were worried we wouldn’t see many animals, but we did and I loved that the park wasn’t super busy. And Ngorongoro was so beautiful in May with fields of yellow flowers.
Honestly I couldn’t fault this tour and company and I am so glad we booked with them. Thank you Lion King adventures and Haruni for an excellent safari!

It was an unforgettable experience. - This trip was an unforgettable experience for me. The experience in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti was the best, and I would have regretted not going to Chemka Hot Springs and Serval Wild Life. And thanks to the staff who helped me plan the schedule, Peter, Nixon, and my best veteran guide Enock, it was an even more enjoyable trip. I am grateful to them and wish them good luck. Although it was a short 6-day trip, it was perfect for enjoying everything about the safari. However, I will definitely visit again when I have children. Thank you Lion King for giving me good memories :)

A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience - Our 5-day safari through Tanzania was an absolute dream come true – a once-in-a-lifetime adventure made truly exceptional by our outstanding guide, Enouk. From the moment we were picked up in Arusha until our return, everything was perfectly organized, safe, and deeply enriching.
We arrived in Arusha and stayed at the charming Arusha Planet Lodge – a peaceful and welcoming place to rest before the real adventure began.
Tarangire took our breath away with its ancient baobabs and massive herds of elephants. Enouk’s deep knowledge of wildlife behavior helped us spot plenty of wildlife. He knew exactly where to go and when, ensuring unforgettable sightings. The Serengeti was the heart of our safari. Staying at the Nyota Luxury Camp was a magical experience – sleeping under canvas, yet surrounded by luxury. We witnessed a lion pride at on the other side of the river. Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater felt like entering another world.
We have already been on several safaris, but what truly elevated this safari beyond our expectations was our guide, Enouk. His passion for wildlife, professionalism, warm personality, and unmatched ability to spot animals in the distance made every moment special.
Thanks to him, we left not only with amazing photographs but with a deep emotional connection to Tanzania’s incredible nature.
If you're planning a safari and have the chance to travel with Enouk – take it. You won’t regret it. This was not just a vacation – it was an unforgettable journey.

The best experience ever - I don't know where to start, but let me say we have had the most wonderful trip of our entire lives, the trip exceeded all the expectations we had, the jeep is brand new, clean and well maintained, our tour guide Imma is one of the best in the Industry, he is charming resourceful and has that never give up attitude which enabled us to see the wonders of Serengeti and every other place we visited, we really enjoyed every bit of our trip.
I would sincerely like to congratulate the management and staff of Lion King for assembling such a wonderful team but for providing such a wonderful experience for myself and my family, l can't thank you enough and l argue everyone to taste this life time experience with Lion King, you guys are truly the King's of the Jungle.
Asante sana.

My kids too requested me to mention their names and are extending their appreciation and gratitude for the experience.

Best of the Best! - Amazing! This was an incredible, once in a life opportunity. Shafino, our guide, picked us up from the airport, assisted us with our bags, and we were off. Little did we know we were in for the experience of a lifetime!
Shafino was professional, safe, and incredibly knowledgeable. He was on time each day and ready to roll! He knew all the best locations for spotting rare animals, positioned the jeep in amazing viewing locations (whilst still respecting the wildlife), and made sure we were happy and comfortable along the way. His passion for his work really shined through as he told us facts about animal biology, physiology, and fun stories from his extensive experience working as a guide. He communication was also super effective and he made sure we knew what we could expect each day, such as meal times, locations, meeting times, and the goals for the day based on what we told him we’d like to see and experience.
Because of Shafino’s experience and a little bit of luck, we not only saw the Big 5, but the new Big 9! Seriously! On the short of a trip that is unheard of! To top it off we also saw a cheetah successfully hunt a gazelle for its cubs! We are still reeling from the entire experience and absorbing it all. It has been so great I had to get the review done now, and we still have another day to go!
Another thing I’d like to mention is that all the accommodations we stayed at were top notch! They had friendly, accommodating I staff and amazing scenery and entertainment.
My husband and I took this trip for our anniversary and Lion King accommodated special requests made by my husband, as a surprise to me, as well. They arranged a lovely private dinner and also a sunrise balloon safari complete with a bush breakfast! Insanely cool!
If I ever get the opportunity to come back to Tanzania and take another safari, I will be happily going with Lion King and will be specifically requesting Shafino as my guide!

Top level safari Experience in Tanzania - This trip was a memorable experience for us. The arrangements were smoothly organized, the accomodations were great (special mention to Nyota Luxury Camp in Serengeti).
Our guide Shaban went above and beyond to ensure we have a wonderful experience. He balanced really well information giving, and privacy time for us. The private driving experience with him was fun and comfortable.
Animal wise, we could see all the big 5 multiple times.
Till next time Tanzania..!

Exemplary safari experience - Incredible experience with Lion King and our specific guide, Haroni. He had an absolute commitment to ensuring we got the most sightings possible, with several sightings of even cheetah and leopard! Appreciated the personal touches he put on the trip, including meeting his family and being welcomed into his home.
