Excellent, knowledgeable driver/guide.
We were accompanied by our driver/guide, Laurence, from Arusha to Manyara, Tarangire and the Crator and were looked after throughout and given good explanation of the places and wildlife we saw. The manor in which our tour was conducted by Simba Safaris was everything we had hoped it would be.

There is just one word to describe Simba Safaris: Excellent!!!
Simba Safaris have been most competent and professional in all regards. We have had a perfectly planned safari trip and have been taken perfectly care of by our guide, Peter, and chef, Richard. They have been very competent, considerate and service-minded and Peter has given us a wonderful tour of the magnificent nature and wildlife of Tanzania through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Lake Manyara.
We will definitely choose Simba Safari again anytime. Thank you so much for a great safari experience.

Beyond Expectation
All arrangements came to fruition without any problems. Everyone was there to meet us at each destination with a very friendly welcome. Hotels very good and in great locations. Great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable and was able to find many animals (including the big 5) for us to see at close quarters. Driving safe and secure. Hotels very good. Vehicle was very competent for the job but an upgrade may be needed shortly and that is the only reason this doesn't get an 'excellent' marking. Would pick this company and country (Tanzania) again.

wonderful experience
My first time with Simba Safaris. I had booked my tour through Safari Hub who finally put me through Simba Safaris.
The driver cum guide - Mathew was an excellent guy. He knew the way around and drove really well. Not sure if there is an improvement needed around his wildlife knowledge.. i guess yes. But his overall attitude and behaviour kind of made up for any lack of knowledge that he had on wildlfe.
Vehicle was good and in good condition. Interios were maintained well.
Choice of lodges/tents were really nice. enjoyed every place and food in all locations.
Simba represetative - Mark was there at Arusha to see us off on the first day of the safari and was available to take feedback on the last day was aswell. Which was a good gestrure and felt that there are people available to take care of us incase of any emergency.
The only negative about the whole trip was the delay in pick up from my arusha hotel on the first day... i still dont have an explanation to it .but overall i had a good trip

A once in a lifetime experience with a trusted operator!!
I just finished the 8 northern safari circut, which covered Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorogoro Crater National Parks. I had a wonderful stay at all 3 Simba lodges, and was more then happy with the outstanding accommodation and food provided.
I must say my driver/guide Spunk (also with Simba Safari) made my trip! He was professional, fun, knowledgeable, and always willing to go an extra step for me. Which is how I saw so much big game and wildlife only a few feet from our car. I would 100 percent recommend him to my family, friends, and those booking with Simba Safari.
I can only say good things about my experience with Simba Safari and I hope this review helps with your booking.

Phenomenal guide,
Our guide, Joachim Andrew, was nothing short of amazing. We was our guide for 12 days (9/1/22-9/12/22), as we traveled to 4 different camps, starting in Northern Serengeti then going to Central Serengeti and ending up in the Ngorongoro Crater. He is so knowledgeable, made us feel like family, and could spot animals so easily. For example, one day he spotted four separate leopards! We saw 4 wildebeest river crossings due to his ability to predict their movement. Every day we were amazed at what he showed us and we are not new to safaris. We will unconditionally recommend him to anyone we know going to Tanzania for safari. He exceeded all of our very high expectations.
