Steve & driver Solomon masterfully planned & executing extraordinary/affordable safaris‼️
To the incredible team at Steven & Richard Safaris,
I am writing to express our profound gratitude for orchestrating what can only be described as the journey of a lifetime. Our initial contact with Steven & Richard Safaris began last June, after discovering your outstanding reputation on Tripadvisor. From that moment, the WhatsApp conversations with Steve commenced, meticulously building our itinerary for a late January start.
The planning phase itself was a testament to Steve's exceptional dedication and expertise. Coordinating three travelers arriving from diverse international locations and departing at different times presented a complex logistical puzzle. Yet, Steve navigated every request and desire with remarkable agility, ensuring every detail was perfectly aligned. Despite the significant time difference between Seattle and Mombasa, Steve graciously accommodated numerous late-night calls, tirelessly addressing our questions and fine-tuning our preferences. His commitment laid the groundwork for an absolutely seamless experience.
Upon arrival, every aspect of our safari exceeded our wildest expectations. The anticipation of encountering Africa's iconic wildlife was immense, but the reality was far more breathtaking. We were thrilled not only to witness the majestic Big Five but also an incredible array of other species, including several magnificent felines like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and even the elusive civet cat, a true rarity! Each sighting was a profound moment of connection with nature.
One of the most unforgettable moments occurred on our final safari, where we were privileged to observe a family of four white rhinos – a formidable papa, a gentle mama, a tiny, months-old baby, and a curious juvenile. We were positioned so intimately close to them that our zoom lenses were rendered unnecessary, allowing for an incredibly personal and humbling encounter. This experience was made even more astounding by the fact that just the night before, we had a similarly close and powerful encounter with a pair of black rhinos right next to our vehicle. These moments of being so profoundly immersed in their world will forever be etched in our minds.
Our driver and guide, Solomon, was nothing short of extraordinary. His unwavering passion, encyclopedic knowledge, and relentless dedication to ensuring we experienced the very best of the wilderness shone through every single day. Solomon worked tirelessly, tracking subtle signs, interpreting animal behaviors, and masterfully maneuvering our vehicle to grant us unparalleled photographic opportunities and breathtaking views of the vast array of wildlife. He truly possessed a sixth sense for locating the animals, transforming each drive into a magical adventure. There were countless times we found ourselves pinching ourselves, utterly mesmerized, convinced we were dreaming, such was the closeness and intimacy of our encounters. He didn't just drive us; he guided us into the very heart of the wild.
The memories forged on this incredible journey will undeniably stay with us for a lifetime. We are eternally grateful to Steve for his meticulous orchestration of our dream itinerary and to Solomon for his exceptional skill and passion in "making it all happen" so magnificently. Thank you, from the deepest corners of our hearts, for an unparalleled adventure.

Unforgettable memories about savanna
Just got back from the most amazing 5-days safari with you guys in Serengeti, Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater, and I wanted to share my heartfelt feedback.
Our guide John was a total legend. His expert driving skills on the rugged terrains ensured safe, smooth navigation even during unexpected road challenges. He knows these parks inside out from nailing leopard sightings in Serengeti to describing Ngorongoro’s volcanic ecosystem in vivid detail. He made every moment educational and thrilling. And of course, kudos to lions, which John spotted the last day in Serengeti, it was actually a movie to watch them. Thanks for care and wonderful memories about this amazing country!
What impressed me most was the seamless organization despite some troubleshooting issues like vehicle maintenance and weather delays. Your team’s proactive management kept everything on track, turning every second into memorable adventures.
The hotels in this safari tour also worth mentioning. Eileen’s Trees was comfy and perfect but Tukaone Serengeti Lodge stole the show – right in the heart of the savanna, provided the perfect blend of luxury and wildlife right outside (one night we heard and saw the hyena just on the way back to our room, and saw impalas from our terrace). It’s unforgettable experience which you cannot imagine in other parts of the world!
Can’t recommend you enough – already plotting my next trip with Top Selected and John. Cheers and Asante sana!

Unforgettable Experience! Amazing wildlife and excellent drivers
We recently returned from a safari in Kenya and I cannot recommend it enough.
The game drives were incredible—we saw so much more than we expected. The landscape is breathtaking, but what really made the trip special was the service.
A special shout-out to our drivers. They were incredibly attentive, safe, and knowledgeable. They had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife that we would have missed on our own and were always patient, ensuring we had the best angles for photos and plenty of time to enjoy the moment.

Unforgettable Safari Experience — Saw the Big Five!
I had an amazing experience with Serengeti Luxury Safari! Our driver, Nestory, was fantastic at spotting animals and made every game drive exciting and memorable — thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all of the Big Five during our safari.
The lodges they booked were beautiful, with hot meals at every dining and comfortable accommodations throughout the trip. Coming back to a hot shower and great food after each safari drive was the perfect ending to every day. Highly recommend!

From start to finish, the trip was excellently planned. Our guide Samuel was a wonderful and warm companion. He was able to explain and show us everything. The vacation was truly a fantastic trip. The SUV was very comfortable to drive and the accommodations were simply great. I can recommend this company 100 percent. Thank you very much for everything!

A professional tourism brand that leads travelers to deeply experience the beauty of African culture and nature.
The grasslands were quieter than I had imagined.
In the Tanzanian mornings, the wind carried a dry, wild scent. As the first rays of sunlight slowly climbed the horizon, I suddenly understood—some places aren't seen with the eyes, but remembered with the heart.
A safari is more than just seeing animals.
It's seeing an elephant slowly trudging through the dust that makes you understand the meaning of composure; it's seeing a lion lying quietly in the distance that makes you feel true regal presence for the first time; it's also when the vehicle stops in the middle of the boundless grassland that you suddenly realize—you are so small, yet so free.
For a moment, I even turned off my camera.
Because I knew some scenes couldn't be captured: the sunset burning the entire sky a golden-red,
and the guide's soft whisper—
Hakuna Matata.
In that instant, I truly understood.
It's not that the world has no troubles,
but rather—right now, live well.
If you ask me, is a Tanzanian safari worth it?
I would say:
This is not a trip.
It's a mirror.
It lets you see the real world for the first time,
and also see your true self.

Great safari experienxe
We are a family of seven (all adults) who went on a one-week safari trip with Simbaland Magic Tours in Tanzania in January 2026. We had a wonderful and memorable experience.
The organizer showed great flexibility in designing a tour that matched our needs and wishes, which made the trip both convenient and very enjoyable for us. Throughout the booking process, communication was good - the organizer almost always replied quickly, regardless of the day or time.
During the trip itself, everything practical and logistical was handled smoothly by both the tour operator and our guide, which made the entire experience very relaxing for us.
The itinerary was great, as we visited several different national parks: Tarangire with its big Baobab trees, Ndutu where we saw many calves, Serengeti where we saw many predators, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. Each national park therefore offered something unique, which made the tour varied and thus even more interesting. We had many fantastic game drives with remarkable wildlife encounters. We were fortunate to see the Big 5 and many more animals in various settings. We also had an authentic visit to two local tribes. We had feared this would be a tourist trap, but this was in no way the case and we instead had a very interesting cultural experience.
The lodges we stayed at were excellent — clean, comfortable, and very well located. Two of them were inside the parks, with wildlife roaming nearby, which made the stay even more special. The food was good, with a wide variety of dishes and several vegetarian options.
Our guide, Ali, was outstanding and was a big part of making the trip special. He was very knowledgeable and explained the animals’ behavior in different situations. This made every sighting special and unique.
The only things which could be improved are the vehicle and communication upon arrival. The vehicle was somewhat old and outdated and experienced a few mechanical issues during the trip. For example, the cooler did not cool properly, and some of the doors had minor problems. The communication upon arrival was slightly unclear, which led to a few misunderstandings — these were, however, resolved quickly.
Despite these minor shortcomings, we are very happy with our experience with Simbaland Magic Tours. The service was consistently good, and we came home with many unique and memorable experiences at a very reasonable price. I can definitely recommend them to others considering a safari in Tanzania.
