The Most Amazing Safari Experience! - My husband and I recently completed a private safari tour in Tanzania via Lion King Adventures and it was absolutely the most amazing experience! From start to finish, Lion King was reasonably priced, communicative, professional, and organized. They organized picking us up from the airport the day before our tour even started and getting us back to the airport after it finished. They also made sure each lodge knew about my dietary restrictions and all were very accommodating! Our tour guide, Jabir, was absolutely phenomenal! He was professional, punctual, passionate, warm, kind, and patient. He was incredibly intelligent and very knowledgeable about Tanzania: the parks and conservation areas, all of the animals and birds, plants, local culture, and so much more. Jabir worked very hard to make sure we had the most wonderful safari experience. We would highly recommend Lion King Adventures and specifically, Jabir, as a tour guide!

5 Day Safari - We did a 5 day tour through Taranguire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. After our experience can highly recommend Lion King Safari. Good equipment and service without an issue in sight. Make sure to ask for Mwita as they will accept requests and was very knowledgeable and experienced.

​Great Trip with Mwita! - We recently completed a safari through Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and Mwita made the experience truly exceptional. From the start, he tailored the entire itinerary to suit our specific interests, and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. ​Mwita’s knowledge is vast — not just regarding the Big Five, but also intricate details about birds and plant life. His spotting skills are legendary; he was able to find large cats at incredible distances that we would have completely missed. The absolute highlight was watching an eagle catch and eat a small antelope — a breathtaking moment we’ll never forget. ​Beyond the wildlife, Mwita’s logistics were seamless. He coordinated perfectly with our accommodations to ensure our meals were ready when we were, which allowed us to maximize every possible minute out on safari. If you want a knowledgeable, attentive, and highly professional guide, look no further than Mwita.

Amazing Safari Experience! - First time in Africa and on a wild life Safari. The experience was absolutely Amazing! We chose Lion King Adventures as they were very professional throughout the planning stage, with the standard kept extremely high throughout the actual 5 day trip. Special Thanks to our Guide/Driver Gilbert! Amazing guy that made our experience so much better! Very knowledgeable and happy to educate us on the wildlife and the terrain, and always showed up with a clean car every morning (inside and out), despite the mud we were going through almost on a daily basis. We were very lucky to have him! Highly recommend Lion King Adventures!

Trip of a Lifetime! - This was the trip of a lifetime! I am SO grateful that we booked with Lion King Adventures. I had heard great things about the company on Reddit and they did not disappoint. The entire process from the initial inquiry through the end was seamless and so professional. The team was very accommodating to changes we made to our private tour and responded quickly despite the time difference. When we landed in Arusha, our bags did not make the connecting flight and Naury was very helpful in helping to communicate with the airlines to help coordinate the delivery of our bags to our hotel. Luckily we scheduled in an extra day in Arusha before our tour began and our bags were able to arrive just in time before our safari began. George picked us up at the airport and he was so friendly and provided a warm welcome to our journey. Our guide, Suleiman, was TOP NOTCH. He was so knowledgeable about all the animals, plants and birds - it was amazing. He also had a great guidebook with close up images of the animals and birds he would reference and show us. Suleiman's knowledge of the animals and ability to see them from a distance is legendary - even though the grasses were tall during our visit in February, he was able to spot lions from far away. We feel so grateful that he was our guide. Suleiman also kept the car in tip top shape. Despite the muddy conditions, each morning the car would look good as new! He also was a very safe driver and it was clear that he knew how to best utilize the gears to safely and efficiently drive us from place to place. This was the trip of a lifetime thanks to Suleiman and the rest of the Lion King Adventures team - thank you!

Experienced top safari. Just super! - Our guide Hamadi Swai is a super competent guide, a very adept driver, who is also very helpful. Thanks to his enthusiasm, the big 5 were able to find on the safari. He makes the safaris very adventurous, taking into account the wishes of his customers. In the event of unexpected problems, it appears to act in a solution-oriented manner. Organization Lion King is very customer-oriented with clear communication and taking into account the wishes of the customer.

Best safari experience ever! - We had an amazing safari experience, and a huge part of that was our guide, Gilbert. He was truly the best! He was incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable, and he explained everything in such detail that we learned so much every day. We saw all the Big 5, and so many more different animals (more than we ever expected!). What really stood out was how much he cared about our safety and comfort throughout the trip. We always felt looked after, and everything was well organized and smooth. Highly recommended, we would 100% book again!

Excellent Guide, Disappointing Operations - Murshid, who guided our five-day tour, was extremely friendly and demonstrated deep knowledge of the safari. We could truly feel his respect for the animals. His driving skills were excellent, always positioning us in the best spots for wildlife viewing. He also respected the private nature of our tour, maintaining a thoughtful distance so that our experience remained relaxed and stress-free. His English was clear and easy to understand, and I can confidently recommend him. On the other hand, the operations team at Lion King Adventures was disappointing. Their responses were consistently slow, and even after 16 days — despite several follow-ups — we still have not received a valid reply regarding payment matters. In addition, their communication was inconsistent: details changed repeatedly, last-minute modifications were announced without sufficient notice, and some important information was never properly communicated. Overall, the level of service was difficult to describe as “luxury.”
