Everything about the experience was great and we’d highly recommend Hamza as a guide!
Hamza and dancing simbas were a great company to deal with. They provided first class service and even brought out a full table and chairs for our lunches. We never would have expected that! The food was delicious as well. Hamza told us about many types of animals and kept an eye out for ones we never would have seen. Great overall guide and company. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous
It was my first safari experience. We were 4 adults , and booked Luxury Safari for 6 days - 5 nights. The Safari trip went as we expected, the accommodations, the safari and the safari guide, from the moment we arrived in Arusha , until they dropped us off at the airport.
Our Safari guide “Bulldozer” was nice and very knowledgeable about the animals and nature in general. His driving skills were really good and positive mindset. All in all , he made our trip special, he was a friend more than a safari guide.
Big Thanks to you, Bulldozer!!
Regarding the vehicle, I’m not sure if all Safari vehicles have air conditioners, but ours didn’t have one. In addition, we had two vehicles issues but they were solved in a few hours. I trust this is comments on the Safari vehicle, but the “Dancing Simba” need to pay attention to this matter. We were fine with spending a few hours fixing the car , but others would not accept this. I would like t highlight that the vehicle issues are not our Safari guide issue. I claimed this issue to David “ Dancing Simba’ manager” so he apologized to all of us at the end of the Safari and he offered a free ride from Zanzibar airport to our accommodation in Nungwi. He saved us 65$
All in all , the Safari experience was great , and I highly recommend “Dancing Simba”
Once again, thanks a lot to you , David and Bulldozer!!

Very nice!
The communication with the operator went very well. They came to our hotel the night before to provide us with some more information about our hike on Mount Meru.
They went through a list with everything we needed and it seemed we weren't prepared as good as we thought. Maybe a little tip for the operator: sent a list upfront with everything you need for the hike.
It wasn't a problem for them to stop at the rental/supermarket to provide us with some more stuff.
Kadjia (think it's written like this) was a very nice guide and talked us through everything. Once on the mountain he helped us a lot (like carrying my water bottle because according to him, it was too heavy for me). Normally, you're supposed to hike to Saddle hut on day 2, do an acclimatisation to Little Meru, come down and wake up the next day at around 1pm to start the hike to the summit. As it would be raining the day after, they suggested us to do the hike to the summit the same day and watch the sunset, which was good for us as it was sunny. My boyfriend and I were very sick from the acclimatisation so Kadjia carried my backpack for me to the summit. The paths were very rough but they always made sure I could follow and felt safe.
The sunset was beautiful and I was so happy that we still did it the same day!!
The day after, we had to descend and I felt a bit rushed but that was not from dancing simba safaries, but someone from another operator. Our guide always said "pole pole" as I twisted my ankle a couple of times.
Would definitely recommend

Good value for money
Communication with the management has been great throughout the entire process. Communication between the guide and management seemed a bit iffy sometimes. We had to make the guide aware of exactly where we were staying overnight, but this is not a major issue; everything went smoothly in the end.
The safari guide was nice and very knowledgeable about the animals and nature in general, though we felt like general communication about the plan of the day and tomorrow could have been clearer. We were very happy with his driving skills and positive mindset.
We booked a budget tour and got exactly that. The lodges were pretty clean, but many were lacking basic amenities like shampoo, hand soap, and towels. We were not made aware of this by the tour company before the trip. This would have been nice, so that we could have prepared for it.
Lucy from the management deserves extra credit for securing us an upgrade on the night, when camping was scheduled. We greatly appreciate her going the extra mile for us and making our overall safari experience extra good!
In general, we were very happy with Dancing Simba Safaris, and we would not hesitate to book a safari with them again.
If you book a budget tour here, just remember to take things as they come and pack shampoo, hand soap, a towel, and warm clothes (extra warm clothes - like thermal underwear - if you do camping). You will have an amazing safari experience with memories for life.

Great experience of safari
It was my first safari, the guide Hamza was very professional and he showed us many many animals and explained everything about animals. It was a budjet group 4 days safari so some other people joined us, but it was fine, every one had enough space. If you go for 4 days safari you should be ready for a long ways from park to park, it takes few hours sometimes, but you steal can doing game drive and whatch some animals. Thank you , will come another time.

Awesome Experience with Dancing Simba
We did the 7-Day Safari. We had very special Days & whereever we stayed, it felt very welcoming. The Wildlife encounters were amazing, especially in the Serengeti. Exceptional Service, beautiful Country and many many memories. Will definetly come back.
