We had a good experience with him
5/5

We had an excellent experience with Simbaland Magic Tour during our Serengeti Safari.
Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.

A special thanks to Maria, who prepared our entire program with great attention to detail. She was always supportive, responsive, and made sure every part of our trip was well arranged.

We also want to appreciate our guide, who was an outstanding driver and a very knowledgeable guide. He made our safari safe, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

Awesome safari guide
5/5

We are writing to wholeheartedly recommend John Menri, a safari driver and guide with Simbaland Magic Tours. John was an exceptional part of our safari experience, and his professionalism, knowledge, and calm demeanor made our time in the bush truly unforgettable and ‘the trip of a lifetime.’

From the moment we set out each day, John demonstrated remarkable wildlife knowledge and tracking skills. He consistently anticipated animal movements, read tracks with precision, and knew exactly where to position the vehicle to give us the best—and safest—viewing and photo taking opportunities. Thanks to his expertise, we saw wildlife encounters we would have otherwise missed, including several animals that are notoriously difficult to find. Example: one time we pulled over slowly while other safari vehicles whizzed by, and John pointed out quietly - "There's a leopard in that tree. See? There."

John was also incredibly adaptable. He listened closely to our interests and priorities for each outing and tailored our drives accordingly. Whether we wanted to focus on predators, birdlife, or simply enjoy a slower, more scenic route, he made sure the experience matched our expectations while still maximizing our chances for memorable sightings.

Perhaps most importantly, John maintained a calm, attentive, and friendly presence throughout our journey. He's an interesting, intelligent person. When you spend several days in a bouncy, dusty vehicle with someone it helps that they are someone you can have an interesting conversation with.
