Amazing tour with everything taken care of
Lion King provided us with a fantastic tour from start to finish, taking care of everything from picking us up the airport to dropping us back at another, and everything in between.
Our guide Leonard was amazing - so thoughtful and patient and caring, and used his knowledge and passion to learn what was important to us and ensure we had a special experience.
We would 100% recommend Leonard and lion king to anybody wanting to safari in Tanzania and the Serengeti.

Lion King was very attentive to every detail of the Safari and made our trip easy to plan!
The Lion King Safaris offered a good value for the Luxury tour that we chose. They were quick to respond to all questions and concerns as we were planning the trip. The trip itself was fabulous from pick up at the airport in Arusha to drop off in Zanzibar! Our guide, Gilbert, was very knowledgeable and ensured that we had a wonderful time and were able to see as much wildlife as possible. His driving was excellent: he was safe and knew how to navigate the muddy roads of the Serengeti so that we did not miss out on seeing wildlife. We had a minor issue with transport in Zanzibar, but it was quickly resolved by Lion King. We were very impressed with each hotel/lodge/luxury tented camp that we stayed in. If I could, I would take this trip with Lion King Safari every year!

Lion King made planning the trip of a lifetime easy!
My husband and I did the 12-day mid-luxury northern circuit safari and beach tour and had an amazing time. Lion King took care of all the logistics from start to finish which saved us so much time and stress. Communication was easy from the planning stage throughout the trip. Our safari guide, Huruma, was fantastic and so knowledgeable. We saw the big 5 and so much more. We enjoyed all of the accommodations, especially Nyota Luxury camp in the Serengeti which is owned and operated by Lion King. Prior to this trip, I had been on a safari before and my husband had not and it was an equally enjoyable experience for both of us so this is great both for seasoned safari goers and first timers. We would confidently recommend Lion King to anyone looking to do a safari in Tanzania!

An amazing Safari we couldn't ask for more!
I booked a trip with Lion King Adventure, and it was absolutely incredible!
Our guide, Mwita, was outstanding — truly top-notch!
We got to see all of the Big Five, which was such a thrill.
The places we stayed at were nothing short of amazing.
It was a perfect experience — I couldn’t have asked for anything more!

Incredible!
We absolutely loved every single minute of our experience with Lion King!! They’re the best, from the minute you’re picked up to the minute they bid you farewell at the airport, they’re truly professional & exceptional. We got their luxury package for Tanzania safari & Zanzibar; included our pick up, & drop off each day, accommodations, safaris, lunches & final drop-off at the Zanzibar airport.
Tanzania safari — We chose a private safari so our vehicle only had us & our guide Ozzie (Oswald). He was super fun & knowledgeable, made us feel extremely safe and helped us have a lifetime experience at the Safari. Our 4WD Land Cruiser with pop-up roof was super clean & loaded with drinks. We started our safari at Tarangire, then Lake Manyara, Seregenti & ended at Ngorongoro. We saw the Big five & thousands of animals & hundreds of birds. He packed our lunch everyday, Lion King takes their lunch seriously. It was different scrumptious everyday, having lunch in the national parks was a great fun experience. We also did a hot air balloon ride in the Serengeti which was also booked by Lion King.
After our safari, we took a flight from Arusha airport to Zanzibar (only thing that wasn’t included in the package). A Lion King representative picked us up from the airport & brought us to our resort. The same representative dropped us off at the Zanzibar airport on the last day of our trip.
Lion King was totally worth the money, I highly recommend booking with them!

A+ service from the company
I was part of a group travel and this team did a stellar job managing such a huge team. It being my first safari, they have definitely set a standard!
We did Serengeti, Ngorongoro and a village tour to Mto wa mbu. Ngorongoro definitely won my heart. So beautiful, when they say it's like Garden of Eden of Africa it really is.
From the time we landed, transfers to/from the airport were done well,the drivers interacted really well with us. On safari, the guides were just amazing from Saleh,Ozzie,Yusuph and Emmanuel. Their patience and dedication to their work was evident. At no point did they seem tired or bothered even after long drives or numerous questions and requests from us.
As somebody who loves food, I must say the lunches we had on safari were really impressive. So delicious, warm and more than enough considering our numbers. The guides set the table and served us really well. The hospitality was just impressive.
We slept at Nyota Luxury camp which was also amazing with amazing staff. The only downside I'll mention here is that the water was pretty cold in the morning because they use solar,.maybe something to look into.
All in all, highly highly recommend Lion King!

Quality
I worked with Lion King Adventures to bring a group of 12 people to Tanzania. As a frequent traveler and someone who has been to Tanzania before, I had a high standard for what I expected for my group. Lion King did not disappoint. The trucks were the nicest we saw on the whole trip - squeaky clean, well-maintained, and ran well. Our driver/guides - Salhe and Gilbert - were phenomenal. Both are so knowledgeable, kind, funny, and fit right into our group like we were old friends. The office staff was great at providing on the ground service for my group whenever I had questions or needed to make on the go changes. If you're looking for a company that will deliver the Tanzania experience of your dreams, don't even hesitate. 5 stars, would totally recommend.

A seamless, once-in-a-lifetime safari experience with Lion King
We communicated with Jovitha during the quote and Naurey handled all the organization, and from start to finish everything was seamless and easy. Our guide, Salehe Mkwanda, was fantastic—knowledgeable, fun, and full of stories that went beyond the usual animal facts. The team was extremely flexible, accommodating our requests to add an extra day or change accommodations, and they also arranged smooth airport transfers. Even though we did everything by email, it all felt effortless.
Over 8 days, we visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, and every day was packed with unforgettable wildlife encounters. We saw the Big Five, baby cheetahs with their mama, lions almost every day, and even got very close to the river crossing. Staying at the different camps added to the adventure: at one tented camp we could hear hippos grunting at night, watched dik-diks chasing each other by our tent, and saw monkeys filling the trees.
The scenery, wildlife, and atmosphere at each stop were simply spectacular, from sunrises and sunsets right at the camps to the wide-open plains of the Serengeti. A safari like this isn’t cheap, but with Lion King, we felt we got excellent value for money. The organization, the guides, and the unforgettable experiences made every penny worth it. From start to finish, it was all about relaxing, enjoying the adventure, and making memories—truly a once-in-a-lifetime safari.
