Best Safari Ever (especially if you are a birder)!
WOW! An amazing experience. It was my first safari but definitely not my last. Not only did we see all the usual things you would expect to see - the Big Five plus cheetahs, hippos, giraffes etc. but we also saw almost 150 species of birds in five days. Joseph not only identified instantly them but also had an encyclopedic knowledge of range, habits, habitats, etc. The accommodations were very nice and the food was great. If you are a birder - this is a must have experience. I will be returning to Kenya and going on another safari with Joseph.

Quality Safari
We went on a 7 day say safari and followed it with 4 days on Zanzibar. Communication with Erick for planning was easy and quick. Our safari guide John was well informed in the area and wildlife, and was very helpful. He made us feel at home easily. We saw the big 5 and a good chunk of the small 5 as well as other notable wildlife pretty quickly and consistently. Wildebeest Footsteps Adventures (WFA) arranged our hot air balloon ride over the Serengeti (highly recommend), stops to visit local tribes and learn a little of their way of life.
After that we were off to Zanzibar with our new guide (also John oddly enough, who was very helpful) for the Stone Town, Prison Island & spice farm tours, and some beach relaxation. The lodges, camps, & hotels we stayed at along the way were clean and had good food and were thoughtful about mosquito treatment. Some of the beds were more firm than I’d like, but that comes with international travel in my experience, and I can’t blame WFA for that. WFA made the journey seamless, entertaining, and safe and we thank them as these will be lasting memories for our family.

Quick with responding & friendly
It can be overwhelming when first searching for a safari tour company, there are plenty to choose from. However, I would strongly recommend Simbaland tours! We booked over a year in advance and from start to finish nothing but good things. We had clear, helpful information when figuring out how long and where we wanted to go. Any questions we had was answered in a timely manner. My husband and I traveled together & we both cant get over how great it was. We had John as our guide the whole time. He was very knowledgeable, very down to earth, and always wanted to make sure everyone was happy. We had cooked meals three times a day! Even out on a game drive, our lunch was a cooked meal. while we noticed other companies had box lunches for their clients with sandwiches and fruit. A cooked meal went a long way when it would be hours before the next meal time. John was juggling 5 different itineraries from others in our group and he did it with grace. It cant be easy! John was also a great, safe driver. We noticed other guides drove recklessly on wet curvy dangerous roads. We had no issues our 7 days. Comfortable lodging, friendly staff at all locations we stayed. Incredible time out in the parks. We saw so many animals, 6 cheetahs in one day! We will always remember this trip and a big part of that is how well Simbaland treated us and planned the entire stay. Made it such an easy, enjoyable experiences
Issa did an outstanding job planning every detail of the safari.
Our 5-day luxury safari with Mellivora African Travels was an unforgettable experience from beginning to end. The entire trip was perfectly organized, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the beauty of Tanzania's wildlife and landscapes.
The accommodations were luxurious, the service was excellent, and every aspect of the safari exceeded our expectations.

Lionspaw tours was a very easy company to work with. They were responsive, easy to communicate with, flexible with the itinerary, and reliable. Maila was our guide and he was absolutely great. He was a good driver, was knowledgeable about the animals and the parks, always on time, and easy to get along with. We highly recommend him as a safari guide.

5-day mid range tour
Our driver-guide Jackson was exceptional: he knows the parks perfectly, has an incredible eye for spotting animals, and explains everything calmly and passionately. We managed to see the Big Five and other more animales. He always drives safely and respectfully toward nature.
The operator’s organization was spot on. Punctual pick-up at the airport, comfortable 4x4 Jeep with a pop-up roof and chargers, clean lodges and tented camps in great locations. The meals were good and plentiful.
No hidden costs, everything went exactly as planned. Highly recommended!

Top notch
Suileman was an amazing guide. Calm under pressure, experienced and skilled. Effortlessly found all the animals we asked for and more. He seems to know everyone in the industry and always has a hot tip for the best sightings. The company were also consistently on the ball with a lot of extra little touches that added to the experience. Highly recommend

Perfect
Our Honeymoon Safari was fantastic with the Safari Goats team. Right from the prompt communication with Amina from their office to our guide Godson taking us on the beautiful adventure around the Serengeti, ngorogoro crater and Tarangire National park. We absolutely loved the itinerary and the accommodations chosen for us. The little touches for our Honeymoon were so adorable. Most important of all, the wildlife we saw was beyond incredible!

Excellent
I am so happy to have had Deo as a Guide. Besonders the fact that he literally knew everything that we asked, he was so friendly und funny. We couldn’t have asked for a better person. Plus I don’t have proof but also no doubts that he had a bionic eye because he spotted everything!! Next time we come back we will for sure ask for him to be our guide again. Thank you so much for this experience.
