Best possible way to start our honeymoon!
My wife and I had the best possible safari with Dancing Simba. Their attention and services have been way over our expectations. They truly made sure we had a wonderful honeymoon safari, and they succeded in it! Lucy has always been available for anything from the moment of the booking to after the end of our trip. We recommend Dancing Simba 100% as we already did with our friends ans family.

The Dancing Simba team is friendly and well organised. The experience is good value for money.
This was our first safari experience and my first time in Africa, and I can safely say that it is one of the best weeks we have ever had. We spent one day in Lake Manyara, two days in Serengeti, one day in Tarangire, and one day exploring the Materuni waterfalls and doing a coffee tour. Every day was completely different and we got to see a unique environment with beautiful animals. Dancing Simba Safaris was always committed to making sure our needs were met. David was always accessible and helpful. He gave us an upgrade on a few of the accommodation days because he wanted to make sure we had the most comfortable stay. We mostly stayed in lodges and some "glamping" sites, and all of them were very comfortable.
One of the best parts about this week was the guides!!! They were so welcoming, approachable, and incredibly hard-working. We ended up becoming really comfortable with them at the end of our trip. Special mentions:
Julius: super friendly guide, always smiling and positive. He always went out of his way to make sure we were making the most of our time there. Great music playlist!
Owen: Very friendly and absolutely lovely guy
Fausten: Very knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had about the animals.
Endu: we only got to spend a short time with him, but he was full of energy and made us laugh so much. Great Bollywood knowledge!
We also had a lovely chef with us for the week called Joseph, who catered to my dietary preferences (pescatarian).
Thank you so much to Dancing Simba for this wonderful experience that we will be talking about forever. I would highly recommend this company for anyone considering doing a safari experience in Tanzania.

Experienced and customized Safari
We reached out to many different companies and we are so happy that Dancing Simba was the one we ended up choosing- the experience with them was incredible!
To start, the customer service was remarkable, they answered all of our questions and were patient with our requests, allowing us to make a Safari tailored exactly to us. They also kept in contact throughout the Safari and were flexible with our itinerary when we wanted it.
We loved our driver and guide “Bulldozer”, who was very knowledgeable and charismatic. Not only was he amazing at spotting animals and explaining everything we saw, he was also good fun for our 5 day trip.
The cook Yusuf alias ” Mshikadau” also did an excellent job. He worked hard to prepare all our meals, sometimes getting up very early to do so, and his food was creative and delicious.
All in all we would definitely recommend this company and we are extremely happy with the experience!

Unforgettable experience
We just completed an unforgettable safari with Dancing Simba Safaris and couldn't be more satisfied. The experience far exceeded our expectations, both for the variety of landscapes and animals we saw, and—most importantly—thanks to our guide, Bulldozer, a true champion.
From day one, Bulldozer proved to be incredibly knowledgeable, always attentive, and with an incredible eye for spotting animals even where it seemed impossible. He explained everything to us with passion: not just the "big five," but also details about plants, birds, and animal behavior… all with an overwhelming warmth that made every day enjoyable and engaging.
The organization was always precise and punctual. Every transfer, accommodation, and meal was well coordinated. A special thanks also to the chef at the rest house who cooked delicious dishes every day.
The tour took us to magnificent places: two days in the Serengeti and one in Ngorongoro. We saw elephants up close, a pride of lions, zebras, giraffes, hippos… a dream come true every day. If you're looking for an authentic, exciting, and well-guided safari, Dancing Simba Safaris is highly recommended. And if you can ask for Bulldozer as your guide... even better!
Rating: 10/10. We'd do it again tomorrow!!!

Expert, helpful and fun!
The Safari experience with Dancing Simbas was something phenomenal. We saw many different animals, including cheetahs and leopards that are shy and difficult to spot, elephants so close you could almost touch them, giraffes, zebras, gazelles and so on. All of this was possible thanks to our guide Ali, who stood out for his professionalism, kindness, helpfulness, friendliness and ability to spot animals at considerable distances. There will never be enough words to thank him properly. A thank you also goes to Bulldozer, the guide of the other jeep, who contributed with his experience and vivacity to make everything even more fun and magical!

Expert tour operator for amazing safaris
I have been on the tour with Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Kilimanjaro. All the safaris were amazing and every day gave me great surprises and emotions: elephants in Tarangire, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos and much more in Serengeti, all the animals within a few kilometers in Ngorongoro.
The last day was amazing too on the Kilimangiaro's slopes: banana and coffee plantations, an amazing waterfall and natural pools.
A special thanks to our really experienced and helpful guide Alì and to all the Dancing Simba staff: David, Bulldozer, Joseph and all the others.

Amazing safari experience!
We had an awesome time on our safari! We saw more animals than I could have even imagined! Our guide, Hamza, was incredible and made sure we got a chance to see all we wanted. He took his time with us and had an amazing eye at spotting animals. Would recommend! We did the trip to Ngorongoro rarer which was excellent - so many animals there! Then went onto the Serengeti! Again a great time and lots of animal sightings! Meals and lodging were also excellent!

Everything about the experience was great and we’d highly recommend Hamza as a guide!
Hamza and dancing simbas were a great company to deal with. They provided first class service and even brought out a full table and chairs for our lunches. We never would have expected that! The food was delicious as well. Hamza told us about many types of animals and kept an eye out for ones we never would have seen. Great overall guide and company. Would highly recommend.
