Fantastic experience !
I have no hesitation in recommending Lion King adventures. Our communications with the company from start to finish were excellent. Our guide, Gama, was brilliant. His knowledge of fauna and Flora was exceptional! Every question we asked he knew the answer. Gama went out of his way to make sure that we had an incredible experience and saw all of the animals we wanted to see. He was very patient and kind throughout. Our cook, Karim, was also wonderful. He cooked up delicious meals day after day with great variety. Thoroughly enjoyed eating Karin’s food. The only negative I have to say about the whole experience was the campsite in Serengeti. Unfortunately, the washroom facilities at this campsite for the women were woeful. Blocked toilets, doors to the shower and toilets which did not close, and a flooded drain in one of the two available showers. Facilities in high season are alcompletely inadequate For the numbers of campers. I realise that this campsite is not run by Lion King adventures however I feel it prudent to let people booking a future Camping Safari know about the facilities in the Serengeti. Other than this though, just want to reiterate that our six days spent with Gama and Karin on this Safari adventure of a lifetime were incredible!!

Good experience overall
We had a nice safari and were lucky to spot a lot of wild animals, especially in Ngorongoro crater. The jeeps are very well equipped and comfortable.
We've been quite disappointed by our guide, expecting at the end a higher tip than what we planned and "ruining" the friendly atmosphere... Lunch boxes in the safari are also a bit repetitive - plain rice, chicken and a sauce.

Lion King made my family feel safe, welcomed, and pampered during a wonderful safari in Tanzania.
Initially I booked directly with Lion King for my family's first safari because it was substantially cheaper than booking through a U.S. travel agent. Ultimately, I am delighted that I booked directly with Lion King because once we arrived in Tanzania every detail of our trip was taken care of. Our guides treated us like long lost family, our tours were well-planned and executed, and our accommodations were excellent. Our travel vans were very comfortable and reliable (we did witness break-downs of several Safari vehicles from other companies). From my first contact with Lion King to our return to the U.S. communication was prompt, responsive and clear. My family - aged 17 to 75 - all loved our guides Mwita and Joseph, and were amazed by the animals we saw. We appreciated our visits to the Masai and Mataruni villages, and believe we got great value and service for our investment. Many thanks to all the staff at Lion King, and especially Mwita and Joseph.

The adventure of a lifetime
Lion King Adventures are truly professional in everything they do. Pendo presented very good quotes out of the requests me and my wife had and was very quick at replying my emails and getting the booking forward. Pendo was very accommodating at all times and made us feel comfortable and safe with choosing Lion King Adventures for our first African safari.
The safari car vas big and really comfortable to spend the safari days in. We had unlimited water, lots of soda and even wine, even though me and my wife don’t drink alcohol. It was there just in case we changed our minds.
Both me and my wife recommend our driver and guide 100%. We can say we were super lucky to get to spend 6 days with Manu. Great sense of humor, witty, very knowledgeable as regards the flora, the fauna, the animals habitat, the life of the animals and much more. Manu really knows how to make you feel good. Manu has many talents, singing being one of them, but most importantly he caters for your needs and makes sure you get a really great safari experience. If possible, ask for Manu as your driver and guide. He will definitely not disappoint you.

Incredible Memories of whole life！
Tanzania's savannah wildlife and the professionalism of its guides are integral to the safari experience. Expert guides not only provide valuable insights but also ensure the safety and enjoyment of the visitors. My journey through Tanzania was a testament to the beauty of the African wilderness and the dedication of those who guide us through it.

Perfect Travel，thankful oz and Richie
This perfect trip allowed me to get to know Tanzania again. Our guides were replaced by two, but both of them were perfect. They made us feel sincere and valued! This travel agency is very mature, and the guide not only took us to see animals but also taught us a lot of knowledge along the way. I have recommended other Chinese friends to come here. Olina expresses her gratitude to the two guides, oz and Richie

An incredible experience! Thank you Mwita for being our amazing guide!
With so many tour companies to choose from, we initially picked Lion King because of their excellent communication and clear presentation of our itinerary and options. Our guide, Mwita, grew up in Serengeti National Park, so has outstanding knowledge of the animals and the area. He is friendly, accommodating, and was a pleasure to spend our 6 day adventure with. We started off in Arusha, and from there went to Tarangire, memorable especially due to our amazing encounters with elephants, then we visited a Masaai Village and got to learn about their tribe and community, and traveled onto Ndutu while seeing lots of zebras, wildebeests, and giraffes along the way. While in Ndutu, we saw incredible animals, including many lions, their cubs, a leopard, cheetah, ostriches, and many others. The following day, we went for an amazing hot air balloon ride with Serengeti Balloon Safari which ended with a wonderful outdoor breakfast. The whole family loved it. Then onto Serengeti National Park where we saw more elephants, hippos, and a croc. We spent the night at the beautiful Nyota Luxury Camp, where the food was fantastic and accommodations breathtaking. We then traveled to Ngorongoro Crater, where the animals are everywhere, from flamingos to Cape buffalos and black rhinos. On our last day back to Arusha, we stopped at Mto wa Mbu to stretch our legs for a quick tour of the village known for its bananas and rice fields, and visited wood carvers and the local market. Overall, it was an incredible time and we are thankful to our guide Mwita for showing us his beautiful country!

The tour was very well organized and communication was excellent. Good attention was paid to dietary requirements at all accommodations. Our guide Gama was excellent, knowledgeable about the animals and different national parks and happy to cater to specific areas of interest and requests.

An Unforgettable Adventure with Shafino! - A Tanzania Safari Journey
**An Unforgettable Adventure with Shafino: A Tanzanian Safari Dream**
Embarking on a 7-day safari through Tanzania with the remarkable guide, Shafino, was nothing short of life-changing. From the moment we set foot in the Serengeti to our final farewell at Ngorongoro Crater, every moment was a symphony of sights, sounds, and discoveries.
Shafino's expertise is unmatched. His keen eye effortlessly spotted the most elusive creatures, from majestic lions lounging beneath acacia trees to graceful giraffes grazing on the horizon. With his wealth of knowledge, each animal became a story, each landscape a masterpiece.
Beyond his expertise, Shafino's passion for Tanzania's wildlife and conservation is palpable. Every story he shared was not just a fact, but a testament to his dedication to preserving this natural wonder. Whether tracking a leopard through the dense undergrowth or witnessing the thunderous wildebeest migration, Shafino's love for the land was infectious.
The accommodations were a perfect blend of luxury and immersion in nature. Waking up to the sounds of the Serengeti, with giraffes passing by our tent, was a surreal experience. Each lodge and campsite was carefully chosen, offering not only comfort but also a genuine connection to the environment.
What truly sets Shafino apart is his warmth and genuine care for his guests. His enthusiasm for sharing Tanzania's treasures made every day a new adventure. Whether we were savoring a bush breakfast overlooking the plains or sharing stories around the campfire under the star-studded sky, Shafino made us feel like family.
The highlight of our journey was undoubtedly witnessing the Great Migration. Words cannot capture the sheer magnitude of thousands of wildebeest and zebras moving across the Serengeti. With Shafino by our side, we felt like explorers in our own National Geographic documentary.
As our safari came to an end at the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, we couldn't help but feel a mix of awe and gratitude. A week in Tanzania with Shafino had been more than a vacation; it was a soul-stirring journey through one of the world's most extraordinary landscapes.
For anyone seeking an authentic, immersive safari experience, I cannot recommend Shafino enough. His knowledge, passion, and genuine hospitality elevate the journey from a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Thank you, Shafino, for opening our eyes to the wonders of Tanzania. We will carry these memories in our hearts forever.
