Fantastic value for money
We did a lot of research before choosing Dancing Simba for their competitive price and they exceeded our expectations! We went to Tarangire, Ngorongoro and two nights in Serengeti. First and foremost our guide Msemo was wonderful and worked tirelessly to get us the best viewing opportunities and ensure it was the experience of a lifetime for us. We saw so many animals so close! We customized our own private tour , including one change mid-trip and the office was always flexible and communicative before and during our safari. Also for the price we paid the accommodations were absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend.

Brilliant
Where to start? Dancing Simbas give amazing service for a fantastic price. They care about your experience and every member of staff does their best to make sure you have a great time. The mountain team we had were absolutely wonderful, worked hard to make sure we were as fed and as comfortable as possible. They pushed us to get to the summit and without the help of Kajia my wife wouldn’t have made it. We missed the mountain team when we left but Penda our safari guide was brilliant. Every lodge they booked on safari was amazing, clean, friendly and had brilliant food. Cannot find any faults anywhere. Dancing Simbas even made sure we got safely back to the airport despite election related disruption in the area. Really would recommend them, and already have to our friends

They realise your dreams
3-day, 2-night Serengeti/Ngorongoro safari with my wife and daughter with one goal: to make our dreams come true. Thanks to Dancing Simba and Jordan, our guide, we did it!!!
We were able to see all the animals we dreamed of seeing, and up close!
Lionesses with cubs were 5 meters away from us; we could hear them meowing...
All this was made possible thanks to Jordan, who knew how to find the animals and gave us every possible explanation about the fauna and flora of Tanzania, as well as the lifestyles of the Tanzanians and the Maasai. We learned and enjoyed so much...
A big thank you to the entire Dancing Simba team, who were there before, during, and after our safari to help us realize our dream.
If you want an unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania, don't hesitate: Dancing Simba and ask for Jordan as your guide!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly Incredible Safari Experience!
Our 4-day safari in Tanzania was absolutely amazing thanks to Pendi, our guide, and Lucy, the safari manager.
Pendi’s 15+ years of experience truly showed — his knowledge of the land, animals, and culture made every moment fascinating. His driving skills through the Serengeti and steep Ngorongoro terrain were phenomenal, and he made the trip so fun. It seemed like he knew someone at every stop!
Lucy was outstanding — she customized our itinerary to fit everything we wanted, stayed in constant communication, and even met us at the end of the trip to make sure everything was perfect.
Our schedule included two unforgettable days in the Serengeti (Four Seasons Serengeti), one day in the Ngorongoro Crater (Manyara Escarpment Luxury Lodge), and a culture tour in Mto wa Mbu with Barracka.
Barracka led an incredible local experience — cycling through rice and banana farms, visiting a Maasai tribe, and exploring local art galleries.
If you book this safari, ask for Pendi and Barracka — they’ll make your experience truly unforgettable!

A journey of a lifetime with Dancing Simba Safaris
Communication with David and Lucy was excellent, they always responded very fast to every question I had. We took the private 5 day safari to Lake Natron, North and Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Tarangire NP. This trip is not only excellent value for money, but also 5 days which showcases all the different beauty of the Tanzanian landcapes. And yes, you will see a lot of animals! We saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, elephants, hyenas, mongoose, ostriches, secretary birds, girafs, crocodiles, zebras, etc. Eric, our fantastic driver/ guide, is an excellent wildlife spotter and a nice and funny guy. He made this great trip into an excellent trip. Also a special thank you to Papa Natron, the Masai who walked with us to magical Lake Natron. Thank you very much Dancing Simba team for making this a journey of a lifetime for us.

Best holiday ever!!!
We made 4 days 3 nights safari as two person with Dancing Simba company and it was literally GREATT!! We made reservation one month before the trip with Lucy. She was very sweet, helpful, professional and reliable. She guided us correctly in every matter. I feel very lucky to meet with her. Our safari with our driver Penda was truly unforgettable. He is an excellent driver with incredible eyes — thanks to him we were able to spot all of the Big Five. It’s clear that he knows his job very well and loves what he does. We also have good cook with delicious foods. On top of that, the whole team we shared this experience with was amazing and so much fun. We enjoyed every moment, both on the road and while watching the animals in their natural habitat. It was an absolutely fantastic experience — full of joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Thank you for everything, we are really appreciate 🙏🏼

wholeheartedly recommend!!!
I had an amazing experience doing the safari with Dancing Simba. Everything was perfect from the beginning, when David carefully helped me choose the best package suited to my preferences and budget. My girlfriend and I decided to go for the 4-night / 5-day option, spending four days in the most famous Tanzanian parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro), and the last day on an excursion to Kilimanjaro.
During the safari, our guide Yasin was the best we could have hoped for. He was excellent at spotting animals, but above all, he was a truly kind and caring person. He always looked after us and took care of every single request or need. We shared lovely moments with him, even during the long drives between parks — his presence made the journey truly enjoyable.
Asante sana, hujambo jomba — we will never forget you!
On the last day, during our Kilimanjaro excursion, we had the pleasure of being guided by Elisha, who was also a very friendly and kind person. With him, we visited the Materuni Waterfalls and had an amazing cultural experience with a local tribe during the coffee tour — something I strongly recommend to everyone. The local people were incredibly warm and welcoming, and we danced and sang together while going through the entire coffee-making process. Later, Elisha brought us to some natural swimming pools where we could relax at the end of the day. He was always polite and attentive.
Maisha marefu, my friend!
My final comment: everyone should go on a safari at least once in their life — and I can wholeheartedly recommend doing it with the Dancing Simba team. We had such a lovely and unforgettable experience with them.
Thanks and best regards,
Michele & Michela

We would do it again a hundred times over
We booked a 6-days safari with Dancing Simba and everything was perfect! We went to Tarangire, 2 days in Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Eyasi to visit the local tribes. We saw every animal imaginable: we couldn't have asked for anything better.
Alì was an excellent guide and driver, we couldn't ask for more! He was very good at spotting animals so far away and told us many curiosity about them and about Tanzania, he was willing to accommodate all our requests.
We selected standard accomodations and eveything was up to our expectation.
A big thank you also to Lucy for the support before and during our tour, she was super kind to answer all our questions and requests.
We would do it again a hundred times over!

Excellent tour with Dancing Simba!
We just came back from our amazing tour with Dancing Simba and we cannot thank them enough.
It started with the preparations. They responded really quickly and they prepared a custome made program for 13 days meeting up all our wishes. Once we arrived on the airport everything went so smooth. We got a pick-up perfect on time and that went on for all days.
Our guides Owen, Joshua and Bulldozer were amazing. They were professional, enthusiastic and they had so much knowledge they shared with us. And they were so much fun. Not only we, but also our children loved to be them. We also felt very safe and taken care of in the parks, during excursions and in traffic.
We will recommend Dancing Simba to everyone, who is dreaming to travel to Tanzania one day.
Thank you Josh, Bulldozer, Owen, Lucy and David!
