Amazing experience! Super accommodating, great communication, and truly the best tour ever!
5/5

Truly Exceptional Safari Experience Beyond All Expectations

From the very start, Heavenlight was incredibly communicative and accommodating. I contacted several safari companies, but none came close to her level of service and care. Even though I booked just a few days before, she customized the entire itinerary to fit my budget and still gave us the best possible experience mixing luxury and mid-range stays to make everything work perfectly.

She helped us change our route to fly into Arusha and straight to Serengeti, and when we arrived early with overweight luggage, she personally took us to the airline office and coordinated with staff she knew to change our flights and get the bags through at no extra cost.

Our driver, Isaac, was outstanding he truly has “hawk eyes” and made sure we saw every animal we hoped to see. During the trip, Heavenlight stayed in constant touch. When one of our lodges became overbooked last minute, she immediately found us an even better upgrade.

Her service went above and beyond anything we’ve experienced: she helped us recover a lost engagement ring, arranged a driver to Kilimanjaro airport an hour away, and when we realized my own mistake our flight was booked for the wrong month she had the driver wait patiently for over 3 hours until we could confirm standby seats. Later, she even helped us buy a painting we had passed on earlier and arranged for it to be shipped all the way to California.

This was the trip of a lifetime. I can’t thank Heavenlight and the Simbaland Magic Tours team enough for their kindness, patience, and professionalism. I would recommend them to my closest friends and family don’t think twice, book with them and you’ll have the best experience ever!

Amazing experience!!!
5/5

As there are many companies organising safaris in Tanzania, the first thing that caught my eye in Simbaland Magic Tours' s brochures was the different quality of the accommodations, which were all far more appealing! After I reached out to them for more information, I was amazed by the professionalism, the attention to the detail and the constant aim to satisfy us. Mariam is a miracle worker, the person behind the scenes who takes care of everything and adjusts the plan to one's needs. Our guide, Mr Msemo is so kind, respectful and has deep knowledge and experience in his domain. Although the long hours of game driving he never lost his spirit, always providing information about the animals, the people and the way of life in Tanzania. The lodges exceed our expectations and the food was excellent! Also as my luggage was lost between connecting flights, and I started the safari without it, they managed to retrieve it and send it to me during the safari, which was incredible! We had an amazing time, an experience of a lifetime and we are so grateful to have been so well looked after! We recommended Simbaland Magic Tours with all of our hearts!!!

Unforgettable Safari in Tanzania
5/5

My daughter and I chose Simbaland Tours after careful consideration and after meeting with them and other companies in person in Arusha, as we were spending some time in Tanzania and had the chance to do so, rather than booking online only. From Heavenlight, we received fantastic communication and clear answers to all my questions. After visiting their office in Arusha, my daughter didn’t want to go with anyone else. Even though we had some unexpected issues at the beginning, they were fixed promptly, thanks to their clear communication and service. I am happy we chose Simbaland Tours. We were also glad to meet the boss, David, who was very clear in communication (something that is very important to me), and we had a great time on safari with Dominicks and Owen, who were fantastic and very knowledgeable guides. Plus, everyone was wonderful with my 7-year-old daughter, who loved her time on the safari. We would like to personally thank everyone at Simbaland Tours again. Thank you very much

What a life memory...
5/5

We searched at Google on May 2025 for safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater for August 2025 and we random found Simbaland Magic tours...From the first contact through WhatsApp we impressed of the kindness and professionalism of miss Miriam. She organized everything till last detail in order everything to be perfect. We spend 2 days at Tarangire and Ngorongoro crater with our driver Samuel. He was beyond and above and due to his experience 2 times the lions passed exactly in front of our jeep when same time the other jeeps drivers were searching for them with binoculars. Needles to say that we saw all big five and more from very close distance, which made that a life memory. In addition our stay at Suricata which was arranged by miss Miriam was above of our expectations. Thank you for everything and we appreciated your best efforts for our 2 days safari...

Fantastic experience, highly recommended, unforgettable experience
5/5

We took a private 7 day tour covering four national parks, including the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti. From start to finish, the trip was absolutely incredible. Heavenlight was fantastic, she helped tailor our itinerary to match exactly what we wanted, and her communication throughout the planning process was excellent, making everything smooth and stress free.

Our guide, Meddy, was exceptional. He had a relaxed, flexible approach that allowed us to structure each day to our preferences. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, far more than I expected, and often from just a few meters away.

The accommodations exceeded all expectations, there was even a spa in the heart of the Serengeti. Truly unforgettable!

Great safari. From the start of our planning phase till the end of safari communication was on point. They went out of their way to accommodate all our needs. Ali our driver was a great guide, with an eagle eye. Always made sure about our safety and we got to witness the best nature had to offer.
Thank you Simbaland for adventure of a lifetime.

5/5

We absolutely loved our safari experience. It was truly breathtaking from start to finish. The landscapes, wildlife, and overall atmosphere were stunning and unforgettable. The accommodations were excellent, comfortable, beautiful, and well-maintained and the service throughout the trip was top-notch.

A very special thank you to our guide, Mike who was simply amazing. He was incredibly friendly and patient. We couldn't have asked for a better guide.

We'd also like to thank Mariam. She was always there for us from start to finish. We always received very quick answers to all our questions before departure. Thank you for your help.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with Simbaland Magic Tours
5/5

We had an absolutely incredible safari with Simbaland Magic Tours in July — a truly unforgettable journey through the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. From start to finish, everything was well organized. The agency was always reachable and quick to resolve any minor issues along the way, which made us feel well taken care of throughout the trip.

Our guide was not only friendly but also extremely knowledgeable about the local wildlife. Thanks to him, we learned so much and were able to spot an incredible variety of animals in their natural habitat — a dream come true!

The camps we stayed at were clean, safe, and offered delicious food after long days full of adventure. Every detail of the trip was thoughtfully planned, and we always felt comfortable and in good hands.

This safari will remain in our hearts forever, and we wholeheartedly recommend Simbaland Magic Tours to anyone looking for an authentic and well-organized safari experience.

Excellent communication and planning both before and during the tour
5/5

Simbaland was very well organized and responsive to all questions. Their communication was superb both before and during the tour. They were also very flexible when plans changed. Abdul was an excellent, experienced and knowledgeable tour guide who I could tell was passionate about leading safaris. The accommodations were also very nice and comfortable. The tour was excellent value for the money. I highly recommend Simbaland for safari tours.
