We just returned from a 3 night stay at the Serengeti Simba Lodge, my husband and I were traveling with our 14yr. old twins. We each had our own "rondavel" right next to each other. As other reviews noted the rooms are well appointed and the outdoor shower is a nice addition after a dusty day on safari. Zahra, the... More

This is a wonderful, very comfortable lodge in the heart of the Serengeti. The views from the rooms are fabulous, as good or better as any lodge or camp that I have visited in Tanzania. The staff is very friendly and very accomodating, and the food is excellent. There are not very many lodges or camps in Africa that are... More

The views from our room were spectacular. Every room is on a bluff and overlooks the immense space of Serengeti. You couldn't ask for a more therapeutic setting in the bush. An outdoor shower and a bathtub! An early riser, delicious coffee was delivered to our room, making my favorite time of the day even better. A "sister" trip, this... More

We had booked our safari as part of the Thomson/First Choice package hence had no choice of lodges. (Plus we had changes to elements of the itinerary at the last minute). Our third stay was two nights at the Serengeti Simba. I would really love to agree with previous reviews but I can’t. Probably our reaction on arrival was coloured... More

In January 2012, I experienced the amazing beauty of the Serengeti for the first time with my sister. We stayed at the wonderful Serengeti Simba Lodge for 1 night. I would recommend staying at least 2 nights at this wonderful lodge. The view of the Serengeti from any of the individual luxury tent cottages is amazing. Our cottage was beautifully... More

This lodge on the Serengeti had only been open a few months when we went there-but it is a wonderful place. We had the pleasure of staying there for two nights. The drive into the lodge is very interesting through a small and colorful village. The lodge itself is up high with beautiful views of the Serengeti. The rooms were... More

I visited the Simba lodge this August, and after a long, hot, and dusty drive through the Serengeti, it was perfect. The view, the rooms, the food... it all made the ride well worth it. It truly is a luxury tented camp on the edge of Serengeti.The tents are outstanding--large poster beds, smooth and simplistic designs, and best of all--... More

I think we were one of the first guests in the Lodge when it opened earlier this year. The tented rooms were amazing. Like a 4-star hotel room in tent! The staff couldn't do enough for us and provided us with our special dietary requirements morning, afternoon and night. Service with a smile in the middle of Serengeti. Definitely and... More

Spent 2 nights here the first week of August. Although is is somewhat off the beaten track and a distance to Serengeti Park, this place has everything you could want after a long day on the road. Spacious tented room with an outdoor rain shower to wash of the dust and dirt, and believe it or not a bathtub! A... More

The lodge is brand new (in fact they're still putting the finishing touches to it) but it's already the finest place we stayed during our two week trip to Tanzania! We stayed there for three nights and wished it could have been longer! Rooms - in one word - perfect! Spacious, comfortable, well laid out and with a breathtaking view... More
