Most caring and organized tour operator!
A truly great safari experience goes beyond just spotting wildlife; it’s a holistic and transformative journey that engages all the senses and leaves a lasting impact.
A great safari will maximize opportunities for close-up, respectful wildlife viewing in their natural habitats. This includes encounters with the “big five “ (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo), as well as other diverse species, such as zebras, hippos, alligators, and a vast array of bird life . A knowledgeable and passionate guide is crucial. They are not just drivers. They are interpreters of the wilderness. Sharing their expertise on animal behavior, ecosystems and conservation efforts. A great guide will enhance your understanding and appreciation of the environment, making the experience, educational and insightful.they also play a vital role in ensuring safety during wildlife encounters. A truly great safari extends beyond the wildlife, allowing for meaningful interactions with local communities and a glimpse into their way of life. This can include visiting local villages, markets, engaging in cultural activities, fostering a deeper understanding of the regions, people and traditions. Our accommodations were luxurious and rustic at the same time. I would highly recommend this tour guide and I hope to repeat the trip in a year or two.
Jumbo!

The epitome of hospitality
When we arrived in Tanzania at 5 am Simon aka MJ greeted the three of us; my Daughter Jen , my wife Donna and Myself . Simon was the epitome of hospitality. He invited me to sit in the front of the Safari vehicle . From there our relationship grew with every slow mile he drove , road conditions are not a strength in Tanzania .
MJ now , became our most accessible source of insight .
We were never intimidated nor concerned about our questions directed to him . His responses were comprehensive, but not overly so . We learned an endless amount about the African wildlife and people from MJ .
Sadly the adventure required we part company as Kenya was our next stop . MJ left all of us with priceless memories . Our lives were enhanced thru our relationship .
MJ thank you very much!

MJ: The Beauty of Africa shines through his expressions, his expertise, and his knowledge!
Simon Mwakajumba radiates the joy of Tanzania! You can’t help but smile when you are around him and embrace the love for his beautiful country! His skill and ability to expose you to vast landscapes, experiences, and culture makes for a truly wonderful vacation.
Our time together consisted of a personalized experience hiking on Mount Kilimanjaro, learning about Maasai tribes, and embracing the wonders of seeing animals in their natural environment in Tarangiri National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti National Park. MJ handled all the details of my journey helping to create an amazingly stress-free experience from start to finish!
MJ’s knowledge about all aspects of the African bush is mind-blowing! He willingly shares amazing facts along the way, allows plenty of time for observation of the animals (whether it be with binoculars or photos), navigates the maze of bumpy roads with care and concern of his passengers, and always fills each day with so much happiness!
No matter how many times MJ has spotted the animals, he always exudes pure amazement for his guest; making our experience truly magical! Not only can you call MJ an amazing guide, but also a true friend!
Thank you Herbivore African Expeditions for your professionalism and such amazing memories that will last a lifetime!

Unforgettable safari adventures with expert guides, wildlife encounters, and authentic culture!
Our safari with Herbivore Expeditions was absolutely unforgettable! From the very beginning, everything was so well organized. Our guide Simon was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the land, which made the entire experience even more special.
We were amazed by how close we were able to get to the animals while still respecting their natural space. Each game drive was unique and exciting, and we learned so much along the way. The accommodations and meals exceeded our expectations, and I always felt safe and cared for.
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience, we couldn’t recommend Herbivore Expeditions more highly. They truly went above and beyond to make our trip magical, & we'll treasure these memories forever!

Simon was knowledgeable, professional and very kind. I learned so much!
Everyday was a planned excursion, but there was nothing that felt planned at all! It was an adventure! I truly believe I experienced Tanzania greater than anything I could have imagined.
