Itinerary
- 1Meet up from your hotel in Arusha around 0900hrs and take you to the Arusha National Park. The park has an incredible variety of fauna and flora, which cannot fail to impress. Hollywood also chose this region to film the movie “Hatari” in which Hardy Kruger starred alongside the legendary John Wayne. Your day trip will include a visit to the Ngurdo Crater. Buffaloes, waterbucks, giraffes, warthogs, zebras and baboons can be seen all year round as well as many different bird species. Lunch will be taken at a picnic place and in the afternoon, you will continue your tour. After plenty of time allocated for you to observe the wildlife, we will take you back to Arusha with a drop off service at your hotel.

- 156zafp0 contributionsSimba adventures is the bestIt was an amazing experience.Everything we scheduled was 100% accurate.Our driver and escort Sandi was always one step ahead and made sure we will have all we need.Thank you Simba adventures for making our trip to Tanzania special.Written 21 October 2024
- 691_ivil_v0 contributionsAmazing experience! loads to see both wildlife and nature with the most amazing guide Sadi!We wanted to see Kilimanjaro Mountain then go for 2 night 3 day safari tour. The Simba Adventures were really flexible in accommodating our wishes and needs. We went to see Mount Kilimanjaro, had a trek to waterfals, had a coffee making tour experience and had some local food! Then we went to Tarengiri park, Ngorongoron coservation area and Lake Manyara park. We spend 2 night in a lodge near Manyara park. Everything was planned to perfection. Our guide Sadi was the best. With over 7 years of experience he always made us feel safe and taken care of. He would always stop for photos, toilet breaks, atms, and whatever we needed - super helpful, accomodating and friendly. We had the best time with him as our guide. We were happy with what we saw, but its never up to the agent or the guide to guarantee that. Everyone’s exeprience in this types tour will be different as animals move freely and fast in a wast lands. Our guide had good eye in spotting animals and showing them to us and on top was always listening to the other guides via radio and taking us to see animals if we were nearby. Overall we were super happy with our exeperience and would recommend it to everyone. Our most favourate place was Ngorongoron conservation area! Thats really worth the visit.Written 8 April 2024
- PerthDiver720 contributionsFantastic company, ethical and honest.These are good honest people and I can't recommend this company highly enough!!! They held our deposit (which we paid weeks before covid hit) for 4 years! Many other companies would have run away with our money, but Ally the owner honoured our payment for all that time. We had the fantastic team of Saadi our guide/driver and Moodi our camp manager/cook and they took the BEST care of us. Always very conscious of keeping us safe while giving us an amazing experience, getting us to some incredible sightings. The food was amazing and we felt very spoilt. But the company of Saadi and Moodi was even better. They are lovely people. We booked a budget camping safari but Ally the owner upgraded us a few times to bandas. Thank you Ally. If you are looking for a small locally owned company so your money stays in Tanzania with locals Simba Adventures is the way to go. 100% happy with our entire safari.Written 6 January 2024
- Margarida19620 contributionsExcelent experienceSadi was an excelent driver and guide who has explain us everything there was to know. The day in the Ngorongoro reserve was exceptional. Very good experience. The hotel was basic but still ok (except when they have cut the water to the rooms).Written 1 November 2023
- 7continentexplorer0 contributionsSimba Adventures is Fantastic!Ally, the owner, is the best. One of the easiest to arrange tours and frequent communications were much appreciated. We chose Simba Adventures among so many other tours due to the specific desires of my family and opportunity to do glamping during this 2 day safari. Ally arranged everything and made sure we had a first class experience. From the excellent vehicle, accommodation, ensuring we had the best guide (Sadi) as well as a safe tour over all. Sadi drove very safely on the busy roads and in the parks. He had excellent insight into where to go. He was also able to arrange an unforgettable Masi one hour village visit where we danced, engaged village elders, went in the huts, and bought some souvenirs with a donation to the village to get much needed clean water. We saw the big 5 thanks to Sadi spotting the elusive Leopard which seems to be the last in the big 5 to see each time. You will be very happy if you experience what my family were able to see and do with Simba Adventures!Written 29 October 2023
- laurenwW4372OJ0 contributionsI highly recommend this safari company!We would definitely recommend Simba Adventures for arranging your safari! Our tour guide was Sadi, he was very funny and knowledgeable. We toured Ngorongoro Crater and saw so many amazing animals and plants. I work in wildlife conservation and am very picky about which company I use because not all guides follow the rules in the parks. Sadi was very respectful of the wildlife and rules. Also, Sadi took us to the Tanzanite Experience and treated us to red bananas to try. Arranging things with Ally was very smooth - he answered all my questions and helped us arrange something that worked with our schedule.Written 23 September 2023
- N9802RNchrish0 contributionsIncredible and perfectly organised SafariWe booked the 6 days safari with simba adventures as the start of our honeymoon in Tansania. The booking process was excellent and could be handled over WhatsApp. All of our questions were answers and we were given several options regarding accommodations and routes to choose from. We picked a mix out of lodge and tented accommodations over the six days to visit tarangire, lake manyara, serengeti and ngorongoro national park. Apart from the safari itself Simba Adventures organised the transfer from and to the airport as well as a hotel to stay one night in Arusha before our flight to Sansibar. We were able to contact the mainoffice the whole time and always got a quick answer. As for the safari itself: The experience was simply mindblowing. No picture or documentary comes close to the landscapes, animals and different vegetations we saw along the way. Our Guide Charles was amazing. He has plenty of experience, knows were the animals are and told us a lot about the Parks, Animals and Tanzanian culture. The Accommodations were great and always very well handled with good food and friendly, helpful staff. All in all we were very happy to book with Simba Adventures and will come back to Tanzania some day.Written 20 September 2023
- I1511YWrobertm0 contributionsUnbelievably cool 3-day Safari experience with Simba AdventuresWe had an unbelievable 3 day experience with Simba Adventures. We visited Ngorongo Crater, which is the outing I preferred, where we saw lions, Elephants, Rhinos, Hippos, and many more... The landscape was picturesque and beautifull. Our driver had extensive knowledge on animals, birds and plants and knew where to go to get the best chance to see all these. He was always on time waiting for us in the morning and ready to go and give us the best experience. The lodge we stayed at (Escarpment Luxury Lodge) was also fantastic, with excellent food, very professional and friendly staff and the lodge itself was beautiful and extremely clean.Written 1 June 2023
- tashiklose0 contributionsIncredible six day safariWe had the most incredible six day safari with Saadi and Modi, you were such lovely company for our camping safari! Saadi also knows where to find all the animals and Modi makes the most delicious food for every meal. I couldn’t rate Simba Adventures any higher. We will definitely safari with you again if we’re lucky enough to come back to Tanzania. Thank you Saadi, Modi and Simba Adventures!Written 26 January 2023

- luc_atY3833GS0 contributionsIncredible Safari experienceI am more than satisfied with our 5 day safari tour in Tarangire, Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro with Simba Adventures. Everything was perfectly organised, the lodges very confortable and the staff very kind. We could enjoy incredible landscapes and could see so many animals from a very short distance. Everything was even better than expected. The best part of our experience was undoubtfully meeting our master driver guide ISAYA. He was really experienced and decisive, a person you can trust. Always smiling and willing to make us feel comfortable. He spoke good Spanish and English to solve all our doubts about wildlife and his culture. Asante ISAYA for this experience.Written 6 November 2022
