Perfect
We booked our honeymoon trip through Simba Tour (locally operated as Furaha Tour) and had an amazing experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro followed by a Serengeti Safari. After that, we spent a few relaxing days in Zanzibar on our own — and honestly, everything exceeded our expectations!

🏔 Kilimanjaro (6 days / Machame Route)
We booked the climb with Simba Tour and chose the Machame Route.
Our team consisted of two climbers (us), two guides, one chef, and nine porters — a total of 12 people. Everyone took such great care of us, and thanks to their support, we completed the trek safely and happily.
Most Korean climbers tend to choose the Marangu Route, where you can stay in huts, but if you don’t mind camping, I highly recommend the Machame Route — the views are absolutely stunning. (We didn’t meet any other Korean climbers during the whole trek!)
It was such a beautiful experience — breathtaking scenery, successful summit, and above all, we finished healthy and full of wonderful memories.
If you and your partner enjoy hiking, this is an incredible honeymoon idea!

🐘 Safari (4 days / Serengeti North - Kogatende)
We also booked our safari through Simba Tour — and while we already loved our Kilimanjaro experience, the safari was even better!
To catch the Great Migration, we took a Flightlink small aircraft from Arusha to Kogatende Airstrip in northern Serengeti. The weather was perfect, and the flight itself felt like a mini air safari — we could see the Serengeti plains, Ngorongoro Crater, and even volcanic formations from the air. There were only four passengers on board (us and a Canadian couple we met on the mountain), so it was a very comfortable flight. Highly recommend this option if you want to save time and enjoy a unique experience.
When we landed, our guide Laizer was waiting for us — fully dressed in traditional Maasai attire!
At first, we thought he was a local taking pictures with tourists for tips 😅 but then he came up to us saying “Simba?” and we realized he was our guide!
Laizer was absolutely amazing — super friendly and fun, but also very professional and knowledgeable.
He spotted animals incredibly well, shared lots of interesting facts, and clearly had a great network with other guides, which helped us find so many animals quickly.
We saw the Big Five and even the wildebeest migration, all thanks to him.
Other tourists kept asking to take photos with him because of his full Maasai outfit, but he politely declined, saying he only takes pictures for his own guests — which we really appreciated.
Overall, our safari with Simba Tour and guide Laizer was perfect.
If our friends or family ever visit Tanzania, we’ll definitely recommend them to book with Simba and ask for Laizer!

It was a best celebration of our married life, love, and the beauty of the wild.
Our 1st anniversary celebration in Tanzania was a memorable journey and all arrangements were perfect and well planned by FURAHA TOURS AND SAFARIS LTD. FURAHA team assured us that we were going to have a very safe and beautiful experience.
Our 1st anniversary in Tanzania 💝 We did a 5-day safari and fantastic, no words. Serengeti, Ngorongoro & Lake Manyara - each one felt like a different world.
Our safari started at Serengeti National Park. Our guide Lameck, he was very knowledgeable about wildlife, he explained to us very beautifully. He made our safari enjoyable. Serengeti was just wild. Endless plains, animals everywhere - lions chilling in the shade, elephants walking past us like we didn’t exist, giraffes moving slowly against the sunset. At some point I just put my camera down and tried to take it all in.
Our next destination at Ngorongoro Crater, honestly one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Driving down inside felt like stepping into a hidden world. So many animals everywhere-zebras, rhinos, flamingos - all in one place.
Our last stop at Lake Mayrana, was smaller but so beautiful. Green & peaceful. We were very excited when, we actually saw the famous tree-climbing lions - plus a lake full of flamingos.
We felt different from our 1st anniversary, just as special.

My best experience that I've ever met
Driving across the Serengeti plains with Furaha Tours was the best experience of my life.
Our amazing guide, Laizer, was not only experienced at spotting animals but also had a great sense of humor that taught us how to always find a reason to smile. No matter what challenges we faced, it never felt difficult knowing that Laizer was by our side.
I believe this is a choice you absolutely won't regret. I would definitely want to go with Furaha again on my next trip.
5-Days 5-Nights Predators Safari
We had an exceptional experience during our safari. Our itinerary included visits to several famous parks, each offering unique wildlife encounters. Our guide, (Rajab Omer), was incredibly knowledgeable about the parks, the animals, and all game drives. He took great care in ensuring we had ample opportunities to explore and successfully helped us spot all members of the “Big Five.” One of the highlights was witnessing the amazing migration and river crossing of the wildebeest across the Mara River. Our accommodations throughout the trip—ranging from hotels and lodges to tented camps—were consistently comfortable and well-appointed. The food options were great, and the service at every location was warm and attentive. I would highly recommend this company and especially Mr. Omer to anyone considering an African safari. It was a truly memorable journey from start to finish.
Great Safari Experience
My wife and I used Furaha Tours & Safaris, based in Arusha, as a tour operator for our Tanzanian safari in Aug. 2024, our first trip ever to Tanzania and Africa actually. We had lots of questions and weren’t sure what to expect. Phil, the owner of Furaha, was always available to answer them for us. He was patient, prompt, customer focused and precise in his responses. He was very flexible in customizing our itinerary based on our needs. He ensured that we had the most pleasant experience from the moment we landed in Arusha to the time of our departure. We highly recommend Furaha Tours & Safaris as a tour company for a safari expedition in Tanzania.
Our guide during the safari was Rajab. Getting a great tour guide is a vital component of the safari experience as you would be spending the next 5-7 days or more depending on your itinerary with your guide. Rajab is a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge in wildlife, a safe driver and has a great eye for spotting wildlife in the bushes of Serengeti or the grasses of the Ngorongoro crater. He is passionate about his job, has an immense sense of pride to be a Tanzanian, and a great off-road driver on the challenging terrain you will encounter. On our trip, we visited Northen Serengeti with the hope to witness the Mara River crossing of the wildebeest during their Great Migration. Watching a river crossing requires luck, great driving skill and an intuition to predict where a migration is likely to occur. Rajab brought the latter two to the table and with an element of luck, gave us a once in a lifetime experience of witnessing 3 crossings in a matter of a couple of hours, not to mention, with the best spot in the house. On our trip back to the airport, we came across a roadblock to the airport due to the passing of the Tanzanian President’s motorcade who was visiting Arusha for a conference. We were not sure if we would make it to the airport in time and were quite nervous. Rajab worked with a couple of other safari drivers and coordinated a plan to do some off-road driving in the city to get us close enough to the airport to be able to make it on time when the motorcade eventually passed. Due to his actions, we not only made it on time to the airport, but instead, we had some time to freshen up for our long journey back home. We very highly recommend Rajab as he is an exceptional individual and tour guide.
