Fantastic guide, disappointing organisation
3/5

We had a wonderful 7-day safari from Arusha, through Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. It was intense and unforgettable, with too many amazing events and sightings to even begin to list here.

Apart from the magnificent animals and beautiful landscape, the best thing by far about the trip was Hamza, our guide. It would be difficult to imagine a better one: knowledgeable and informative, patient and helpful. He seems to know every inch of the parks, and worked hard to find us every animal we hoped to see, including crocodiles, tree-climbing lions and leopards. Moreover, he is a skilled driver, giving us the gentlest of “African massages” but able to cover long distances over dusty roads without ever making us feel unsafe. Being a guide is a tough job demanding a wide range of skills, and we had an intense schedule. Hamza made it all work beautifully, and always with a cheerful laugh or a little joke. If we return to Tanzania, we will certainly look for him again. Hamza deserves 5 stars.

Unfortunately, our experience with Dancing Simba, the booking company, was far less impressive. Poor communication and disorganised, seat-of-the-pants arrangements led to several problems – including a last-minute lodge change that added hours of driving, and a mishandled hotel booking in Stone Town – that effectively spoiled two full days of a relatively short trip. Along the way, we couldn’t help feeling that some decisions, such as the lodge change, may have reflected Dancing Lions’ own interests more than ours. Taken together with various signs of cost-cutting and disorganisation, this really let down an otherwise extraordinary trip.

In short: Hamza deserves 5 stars — but Dancing Simba only 2. Hence the 3-star rating overall.

Asante sana, Hamza!

Wonderful experience -
5/5

Kudos to Dancing simba safari for their service and reliability. You can always count on their prompt response. A very good value for money. With them it's possible to live unique and exciting experiences together with competent and very helpful staff. Our guides and drivers Buldozer and Owen were wonderful. Thank you very much.

Expert, helpful and fun!
5/5

The Safari experience with Dancing Simbas was something phenomenal. We saw many different animals, including cheetahs and leopards that are shy and difficult to spot, elephants so close you could almost touch them, giraffes, zebras, gazelles and so on. All of this was possible thanks to our guide Ali, who stood out for his professionalism, kindness, helpfulness, friendliness and ability to spot animals at considerable distances. There will never be enough words to thank him properly. A thank you also goes to Bulldozer, the guide of the other jeep, who contributed with his experience and vivacity to make everything even more fun and magical!

Expert tour operator for amazing safaris
5/5

I have been on the tour with Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Kilimanjaro. All the safaris were amazing and every day gave me great surprises and emotions: elephants in Tarangire, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos and much more in Serengeti, all the animals within a few kilometers in Ngorongoro.
The last day was amazing too on the Kilimangiaro's slopes: banana and coffee plantations, an amazing waterfall and natural pools.
A special thanks to our really experienced and helpful guide Alì and to all the Dancing Simba staff: David, Bulldozer, Joseph and all the others.

Amazing safari experience!
5/5

We had an awesome time on our safari! We saw more animals than I could have even imagined! Our guide, Hamza, was incredible and made sure we got a chance to see all we wanted. He took his time with us and had an amazing eye at spotting animals. Would recommend! We did the trip to Ngorongoro rarer which was excellent - so many animals there! Then went onto the Serengeti! Again a great time and lots of animal sightings! Meals and lodging were also excellent!
