Amazing safaris!! Our tour guide couldn’t have been any better!!
Silas, our tour guide, was outstanding! Not only was he knowledgeable about all the animals but he spotted animals that others drove right past. Highly recommend!! It was amazing how close you can be to the animals.

Thank you Stanley and Edward
A great experience to do gamings in the national parks. We are able to see the lion families for several times! Thanks Stanley helping us all the way along and gave us a wonderful memory.
We got into trouble due to lost luggage etc but Edward helped us to figure out.
Thank you!

Best in the business!
Wow, we just came back from a 3 week trip organised by Vanessa at greatest Africa and couldn’t be happier. The best trip of our lives! Vanessa made it so easy for us, she was a wealth of knowledge. I was a bit nervous using an overseas travel agent at first, but my nerves were quelled once we had a video call to meet. Vanessa answered our every question, concern, actioned changes, made suggestions, all in a very timely manner. I couldn’t recommend her or this company enough for your safari planning. She was easily accessible via WhatsApp and email and kept in touch throughout the trip to make sure everything ran smoothly (which is did). I have already recommended Vanessa and greatest Africa to all my friends, colleagues and family and hope to convince my parents to do a similar trip next year.

“Exceptional team made our 19 days in Madagascar smooth, safe, and unforgettable.”
We had an amazing 19-day journey through Madagascar with our guide Joshuiá and driver Manoa. The itinerary was extensive—over 1,000 miles on rough roads and 650 miles by plane—covering seven national parks, nature reserves, charming towns, and two west coast beaches.
Joshuiá coordinated everything seamlessly. His enthusiasm, deep knowledge, and pride in his country made every experience special. He was also very attentive and flexible, adjusting activities to match our pace and interests.
Manoa was an exceptional driver who navigated Madagascar’s challenging roads with patience, skill, and good humor. Despite long travel days, his cheerful attitude and smile never wavered.
Together, they ensured our trip was smooth, safe, and truly unforgettable. We highly recommend them to anyone planning to explore Madagascar!

Christine, our tour operator was excellent in arranging an exciting and comfortable tour. Our group included our parents with age between 70 to 78 years. They were also comfortable throughout the tour. Resorts selected were excellent with great food quality. The guide cum driver Jeremiah was also very helpful. We had a great tour and some life time memories. Thanks to Christine once again

Our trip with Shipungo exceeded our expectations in all respects.
We did a 10 day camping safari in Chobe River, Savuti, Moremi National parks and Kwai concession. The four of us had a tremendous trip with Shipungo.
The office was responsive and able to accommodate our starting point in Victoria Falls. The logistics of crossing the border were perfect.
Once on safari, our guide Kem was really great at finding animals then getting us in the best position to view them, especially the cats, hyenas and wild dogs. He also has extensive knowledge of the fabulous Botswanan birds. We were thrilled by the variety and number of animals that we saw.
The campsites were always neat and in beautiful places. Chef Shine made incredible meals over a wood fire. Other camp team members OT and KG were always friendly and helpful.
We also really enjoyed 2 boat trips (on the Chobe and Kwai rivers) organized with Shipungo's partners.

An Unforgettable Safari with Petter!
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with Petter! He’s incredibly professional and knows the park like the back of his hand — no maps or GPS needed. Whatever animals we wanted to see, he could spot them in no time.
The itinerary was well planned — full but never tiring — and the lodges he chose were perfect. We could see Mount Kilimanjaro and elephants right outside our door, and the food was delicious.
Thank you, Petter, for making this trip truly unforgettable!

Perfect
We booked our honeymoon trip through Simba Tour (locally operated as Furaha Tour) and had an amazing experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro followed by a Serengeti Safari. After that, we spent a few relaxing days in Zanzibar on our own — and honestly, everything exceeded our expectations!

🏔 Kilimanjaro (6 days / Machame Route)
We booked the climb with Simba Tour and chose the Machame Route.
Our team consisted of two climbers (us), two guides, one chef, and nine porters — a total of 12 people. Everyone took such great care of us, and thanks to their support, we completed the trek safely and happily.
Most Korean climbers tend to choose the Marangu Route, where you can stay in huts, but if you don’t mind camping, I highly recommend the Machame Route — the views are absolutely stunning. (We didn’t meet any other Korean climbers during the whole trek!)
It was such a beautiful experience — breathtaking scenery, successful summit, and above all, we finished healthy and full of wonderful memories.
If you and your partner enjoy hiking, this is an incredible honeymoon idea!

🐘 Safari (4 days / Serengeti North - Kogatende)
We also booked our safari through Simba Tour — and while we already loved our Kilimanjaro experience, the safari was even better!
To catch the Great Migration, we took a Flightlink small aircraft from Arusha to Kogatende Airstrip in northern Serengeti. The weather was perfect, and the flight itself felt like a mini air safari — we could see the Serengeti plains, Ngorongoro Crater, and even volcanic formations from the air. There were only four passengers on board (us and a Canadian couple we met on the mountain), so it was a very comfortable flight. Highly recommend this option if you want to save time and enjoy a unique experience.
When we landed, our guide Laizer was waiting for us — fully dressed in traditional Maasai attire!
At first, we thought he was a local taking pictures with tourists for tips 😅 but then he came up to us saying “Simba?” and we realized he was our guide!
Laizer was absolutely amazing — super friendly and fun, but also very professional and knowledgeable.
He spotted animals incredibly well, shared lots of interesting facts, and clearly had a great network with other guides, which helped us find so many animals quickly.
We saw the Big Five and even the wildebeest migration, all thanks to him.
Other tourists kept asking to take photos with him because of his full Maasai outfit, but he politely declined, saying he only takes pictures for his own guests — which we really appreciated.
Overall, our safari with Simba Tour and guide Laizer was perfect.
If our friends or family ever visit Tanzania, we’ll definitely recommend them to book with Simba and ask for Laizer!
