⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable safari with Little Lion Tours & Safaris! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Juma and Little Lion Tours & Safaris. From the very first contact, Juma was incredibly helpful, friendly and personally involved. He really took the time to listen to what we wanted and made sure everything was arranged perfectly for us as a family with our six-year-old son. Our safari to Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire National Park was truly unforgettable. Everything was well organized: the flights from Zanzibar, transfers, our guide, the game drives and our beautiful stay at Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge. We saw so many animals and experienced moments we will never forget. Travelling with a six-year-old, it was also very important to us that everything felt safe, comfortable and well arranged — and it absolutely did. What we especially appreciated was Juma himself. He is not just arranging tours; he genuinely cares about the experience of his guests. We had some great conversations with him and learned that he has been building his company for six years now. He has a beautiful vision for the future and wants to grow his company by giving people a personal, reliable and memorable experience. You can really feel his passion and ambition. He deserves to welcome many more guests in the coming years. If you are travelling to Zanzibar or Tanzania and are looking for someone you can trust to arrange a safari or excursion, we can wholeheartedly recommend Juma and Little Lion Tours & Safaris. Thank you Juma for everything. We came for a safari, but went home with memories for life. ❤️🦁🌍

I had an incredible experience using Little Lion Tours & Safaris for my transport needs during my 3-day stay in Zanzibar. Their service was absolutely impeccable! A huge thank you to our drivers, Abdul and Hamza, who were truly outstanding. They were incredibly diligent, always punctual, and greeted us with a smile every single time, which made our daily travels so much more pleasant. It’s also worth mentioning that the vehicles were spotlessly clean and very comfortable, making every journey across the island a breeze. Everything was organized perfectly by Juma—the communication was seamless, and everything ran like clockwork from start to finish. It was such a complete and attentive service; it really took the stress out of getting around the island. I am already planning my next trip to Zanzibar and will definitely be using them again. Highly recommended!
