Our safari guide will collect you from the lodge in Arusha for the drive to Tarangire National Park (approximately 2 hours). Tarangire, best known for its elephant families, savannah, iconic baobab trees, and seasonal swamps, is home to the life-giving Tarangire River. Animals gather at the river and giraffe, bushbuck, and hartebeest are often seen. The park is also home to buffalo, zebra and wildebeest. These animals are closely attended by a range of predators, our Panthera friends, lion and leopard. From the open roof of the truck, we will have the opportunity to absorb the landscapes and view the wildlife. After a full day in the park, we will drive to the excellently appointed lodge (Karatu). Here we will enjoy dinner in the aesthetically delightful restaurant, relax, and spend the night in her capacious rooms.

Rise and shine! It’s an early departure for us today to the lush highlands of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the seven wonders of Africa. Once we have reached the crater rim, we rumble down a steep track into the 600 m deep caldera, noting our passage through several climatic zones, to see a range of animals and birds. The caldera (collapsed volcano) is home to over 25,000 mammals ranging from the “Big Five”, lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard, to hippo, wildebeest, zebra, hyena, and more than 500 species of birds. After an extensive game drive and a picnic lunch in the crater, we will return to Arusha arriving early in the evening. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Non-alcoholic drinks

Our basic accomodation tour with Lion King adventures was absolutely great. Very helpful and informative guide showing and telling us about everything we would ask about and more. The 5 big was captured, and a lot more. We got what we expected and a lot more. We recommend Lion King adventures

Exceptional Safari Experience Thanks to an Expert Guide
I had a wonderful experience with Lion King Adventures, and a huge part of that was due to my guide, Mwita. From the beginning, Mwita took excellent care of me and made my safety a clear priority, which meant a lot as a solo traveler. He is extremely professional, calm, and reassuring. Mwita is originally from the Serengeti and knows the parks and surrounding areas incredibly well, which really showed throughout the trip. His wildlife spotting skills are outstanding — he consistently spotted animals that I was missing. With nearly 20 years of guiding experience, it was obvious that he truly knows what he is doing and understands animal behavior, terrain, and timing extremely well. Overall, I felt safe, well taken care of, and confident in his abilities the entire time. I would highly recommend Lion King Adventures, and especially Mwita, to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, experienced, and professional safari guide.

Incredible experience!
We just finished a 6 day safari with Lion King adventures, and we couldn’t have had a better experience! We went in February for the calving season and great migration - the weather was perfect and we saw so many animals (all of the big 5 and so much more!). Our guide, Murshid, really made the whole experience amazing. He was the best at preempting the animals movements and positioning the safari truck for optional viewing. He also had so much knowledge of the local area and the animals - he was a very impressive guide. One of the highlights was that we were heading home for the night when he got news of some lion cubs, and he didn’t hesitate to turn around and head straight to the lion cubs for us to see - he really went above and beyond to make our whole experience excellent. All in all we had a great trip - we saw over 20 lions, leopard, cheetahs, hyenas etc. and the weather was amazing!

Professional, exceptionally organized and a friendly tour operator. Highly recommended!
From the very beginning, we had a wonderful experience with Lion King Adventures. Peter and Florida were amazing. The communication was very smooth and friendly. They always answered very quickly to all our questions, requests, etc. They planned the perfect trip for us according to our budget and wishes. The whole trip was very well organized, from the pick up from the airport (thanks Charly), the lodges and excursions to the drop off at the airport. You don’t need to worry about anything, just enjoy the trip. We had our private car with our private driver/tour guide Goodluck who was amazing. He has such a great knowledge, (about wildlife, Flora and fauna, Tanzania, Africa), happy and positive personality, is an excellent safe driver and always went the extra mile to make sure our special requests we had during the trip were taken care of. He made everything possible for us which we appreciated a lot. We couldn’t wish for a better guide and travel companion. He made our Safari very special. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable trip for us. We will come back for sure and of course will book our next trip with Lion King Adventures again.
