Super accomodating
Richard, our tour guide, was great! Easy going and knowledgeable. He really took his time to show us a wide variety of animals! The national park was great.
Maasai village visit was also totally worth out time.
The tour operator was also very accommodating!
Super happy!

Knowledgable, responsive and helpful
Wonderful!!
In a word, our recent 2-week trip to Kenya with Simba Paka Saffaris, was WONDERFUL!
Although this was our third safari trip to Africa and we had a good idea of what we wanted to include for our grandsons, (ages 13 &11), Sarah crafted a schedule that expanded on our ideas. We needed to stay in Kenya to include 4 days in Mombasa on our own to visit schools and students we sponsor. All the coordination of transportation. airport pickups, accommodations, and meals was taken care of by Sarah/Paul. They were even somehow able to get a needed prescription that was lost on our plane. Our lodges were exactly what we wanted, especially Mara Simba Lodge in Maisa Mara.
Our excellent driver/guide Frances conquered all the driving challenges of the city and the national parks and was successful in finding all the Big Five multiple times. The safari van accommodated the 6 of us and was always clean with plenty of water. Highlights on this trip were a lion kill of a baby warthog, the Sheldrick Elephant Refuge, watching a leopard in a tree with its antelope kill, and the hundreds of elephants in Amboseli National Park.

Best Services with no flaws
Simbapaka Safari offered me and my family the best safari experience and drive for 11 days in Masai Mara and really helped to find the best accommodation in Nairobi for an extended period of stay with all the supports.
Mr. Paul, the CEO of Simbapaka Safari really does his ground work and follow up beyond clients expectation.
Mr. Rahim, the Safari Pilot/Guide was an experience guide and know the terrain well in venturing the location of the animals and birds.
Simbapaka Safari offers the best unbeatable package in the safari world.
My best wishes for them and their team to venture more in this stream of business. I request all the wildlife, nature and fun lover to give them an opportunity.

Paul and his team are just perfect
In 2019 I was working in Nairobi and my family came to visit in August. Following advice from people I knew in the Spanish Embassy I hired Simba Paka for a 3-day Safari in Masai Mara. It was the experience of our lives. It was so good that we decided to have another safari with them in Amboseli the following week. It was also amazing!!
Very resonable prices, warm and close attention, really professional drivers and local guides... Everything was absolutely perfect.
If you are searching and comparing, you've reached the end of your quest: stay with Paul. I am sure you won't regret it.

Steve was very present and professional during our 3 days.
I stay 3 days in budget accommodations. The tent with bathroom include was all I needed. The bed was okay-I could sleep. The mosquito net did not have holes and the ventilation was good.
The drive was great-Steve would put out animals and give us some insights on the animals and locations. Steve was very accommodating to the groups needs.

Amazing
Mr.Paul is such a friendly , gentlemen cooperative and just a lovely person, We did a 7 day Kenya safari and we not only saw the big 5. Following advice from Paul from Simba paka Safaris we went to the following national parks; Nakuru, Masai mara, Amboseli, and lake Naivasha.
For sure this was the best choice for us as a family. We had a great time with Francis our guide he was so friendly and knowledgeable about wildlife and routes in the park. We would definitely recommend it! We always felt well taken care of by Simba paka Safaris team

Incredible experience, would recommend to anyone
Everything from start to finish was incredible, Paul’s booking communication was excellent, super helpful and catered to our needs. Joshua our guide was really friendly and his knowledge enabled us to have the best possible experience.
The accomodation (Jambo Mara) exceeded our exceptions with amazing accomodation, friendly staff, delicious food with lots of options and a huge pool.
We’d recommend choosing to safari with Paul and his team to anyone - thank you!

A Lifetime Memory
Me and my wife had a wonderful time during our 5 days / 4 nights safari in Masai Mara and lake Nakuru!
Everything started from our communication with Paul through emails and then in his office. He was very flexible and prepared for us different offers from which we can choose depending on our desires and budget. We got the offer that fits us and Paul looked as he will do his best so that we are happy after the safari. So we chose Simba Paka.
Our guide Rahim seemed a knowledgeable and positive guy from the beginning. The first impressions proved even more during the coming days. He definitely knows so much about the animals, the nature, the region and the local people with their history and traditions. He is well connected with the other guides so whenever there’s something interesting around, he hears about it. Rahim has the enthusiasm and the will to put the needed efforts so he can get the best of the situation for his customers. I really liked our long talks, not just about the safari itself but also sharing about each other's lives and stories.
In addition to their attitude, I should mention that we also felt very nice in the Land Cruiser, which is definitely an amazing machine.
I would strongly recommend Simba Paka to friends when I hear someone plans a safari in Kenya!
