About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- SajmenB0 contributionsAmazing and friendly staffOur tour with Dancing Simba was amazing in all aspects. From the start of communication with Lucy, who was incredibly helpful in making sure our booking was perfect for us. And then Owen who picked us up at the airport + was our guide to the waterfalls and hot springs. He was so full of energy and a great guide. Then we had Michael for our day hike at Kilimanjaro who made sure we got the most out of the day even though one of us was sick and couldn’t complete the entire hike. For our 5 day safari journey we had Reuben as our guide and Michael joined as well. Reuben was extremely talented and could answer all of our questions. It felt like we got the most of the experience together with Reuben and Michael, and the hotels they had booked for us were all very good. When one of us got really sick they helped us go to the hospital and communicate with the staff, we never felt worried because of this. And during all of this Lucy kept in touch via email to make sure we were doing okay. 5 stars to Dancing Simba and everyone who works there!Written 9 January 2025
- sergiug20250 contributionsIncredible Safari Adventure - A Trip of a Lifetime!Our safari through Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Tarangire was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The landscapes were breathtaking and the wildlife was abundant. A huge part of what made this trip so special was our amazing driver and guide, Ali. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about the animals, plants, and local culture. He had an uncanny ability to spot wildlife we would have missed on our own. If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, don’t hesitate to contact Dancing Simbas. We couldn’t recommend this tour enough, and a special shoutout to our guide for making it truly exceptional!Written 3 January 2025
- rossini60 contributionsUnforgettable - not repeatable - anyway: always againThanks for this amazing experience. There are no much words to say than: I will come back for another Safari. But this need to happen again with Ruben. Ruben you found all the stuff I was wishing for. Your support, but also the support of David and Cynthia was always great.

- 822anitham0 contributionsHappy Life time adventure 😊It's actually very difficult to choose a tour company once it comes the time to go in Tanzania for a safari. I can say there are alot of tour companies but dancing Simba is the best. First all of the program is well arranged we started at tarangire park it was amaizing we sawa alot of elephants and lions, the next was the ngorongoro crater the land scape and environment was very nourishing. The last one was manyara park we saw alot I even thought that we didn't deserve it it's much worth compared to what we paid it was alot thanks to dancing Simba safaris.Written 19 November 2024

He was very knowledgeable and with his efforts, we were able to see a variety of animals and even caught the wildebeest migration. Each lodging was comfortable, scenic, and had good food as well. Truly an unforgettable experience. Would recommend Mr. Alli and dancing simba to anyone interested in visiting Tanzania, thank youWritten 27 October 2024
- Quest481163210320 contributionsUnforgettable safari!!What a great country with several jewels of national parks, thanks to mr. David. We started with half day city tour in Arusha. The accommodation inside parks was very cozy and all staff were extremely friendly. We had a very wonderful and smooth,relaxed trip with our driver and guide ally. He is very experienced and familiar with all roads inside Serengeti park where to watch big cats and iconic birds, like bateleur and secretary bird. It’s amazing ally has eagle vision for the emergence of wild animals and birds at the same time he was driving. I would definitely recommend dancing simba.Written 25 October 2024

We wanted to express our deep appreciation for the extraordinary day trip we recently enjoyed to Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot Springs with our remarkable driver and guide, Ombeni. It was a day filled with unforgettable experiences, and Ombeni's expertise and warm hospitality elevated the journey to a whole new level
Right from the moment we reached out to Dancing Simba Safaris, we were met with prompt and efficient communication. The booking process was seamless, and your team's attention to detail ensured that we were well-prepared for our adventure
Our day began with the Materuni Waterfalls Coffee Tour, where Ombeni led us through lush coffee plantations, providing fascinating insights into the coffee-making process. Tasting freshly brewed coffee amidst the scenic beauty of Materuni Waterfalls was a true delight. Afterward, we ventured to the stunning Chemka Hot Springs, where Ombeni ensured our comfort and safety throughout. The hot springs, surrounded by nature's lush greenery, were an oasis of relaxation. It was a rejuvenating experience to soak in the warm, turquoise waters and appreciate the natural wonders of Tanzania.
Ombeni was the heart and soul of our day trip. His extensive knowledge of the region, friendly demeanor, and evident passion for sharing the treasures of Tanzania with visitors made the journey truly exceptional. Ombeni's stories and insights added depth to our experience, and his unwavering attention to our comfort and enjoyment made us feel exceptionally well-cared for throughout the day.
Our Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot Springs day trip with Dancing Simba Safaris and Ombeni was a highlight of our Tanzania adventure. It left us with cherished memories and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty and culture of the region. We wholeheartedly recommend your services and look forward to future adventures with your team.

We had an amazing experience and I highly recommend Dancing Simba for the outstanding time. We were lucky to have guide with us, he is highly experienced and has a great sense of humor. He knew the expansive Serengeti very well materuu , thus the game drives with him were very productive. We found many interesting sights and enjoyed great.

Happy tour
I had the opportunity to do this with dancing simba safari The route up to Materuni was a bit muddy, but dancing simba safaris with the support of some folks from the village, were able to support us make it up to the mountain to the starting point, so I really want to give a huge shoutout to David for making the day trip possible! We had a light trek to the falls and he shared a lot about the village, history, fauna and culture on the way to the falls. Took some awesome pictures and we head back down to the village for coffee, which was another great experience. And if you like strong coffee, community and rhythm, this will make for a good afternoon. Overall would highly recommend this trip and look forward to doing more with KLM in the future was absolutely amazing asante sana

Day trip to do!!!!!!
The hike is up and down hills so not an easy stroll but very doable. The waterfall is beautiful. The highlight was making coffee with the locals. A once-in-a-lifetime experience. The hot springs were refreshing. They aren’t hot but the water temperature was very comfortable. You can grab an inner tube for a small amount of money so you can float and enjoy the water. A wonderful day with a fabulous guide!
Thank you team Dancing Simba Safari

Great little experience to slot in between safari or Kilimanjaro was a great guide, easy-going and friendly. In addition, the lunch and coffee experience was very nice appreciation of the culture. Finally, the nature aspects were the best! Waterfall was well worth the hike and the hot springs was a great place to relax

We took a trip to Materuni waterfall, coffee tour and hot springs. We were scared because the forecast showed heavy rain all day, but they assured us it won't rain, and then they even got us raincoats for free. The tour was just amazing, you can come really close to the waterfall and take amazing pics. Coffee tour was as well great, you see the production of homemade coffee from scratch and you can buy it there as well. You can take a swim in hot springs which I recommend.
But the most amazing thing of the tour was our guide, Owen. You can really see how much he loves what he does and you can feel that with his descriptions and stories about everything we pass by. We had a really great time with him, and if we ever come back and do some tours, we will certainly go with this agency and Owen! He took a lot of photos of us as well. I can't express how much of a good time we had with him. You should give this guy a raise! 😀
I recommend this tour with this guide 100/10 !

This experience is one of those that will remain with me for a very long time.
Nickson was our tour guide for the day and i could not have not asked for a better person to show us around. We were given the flexibility of which site we would like to visit first, and the experiences themselves were absolutely incredible!
Materuni waterfall was breathtaking. It towers hundreds of meters above and is truly a sight to behold. The coffee making experience was unique. The locals were so hospitable and the coffee we made was second to none, not to mention that the food they made for us was bursting with flavour. And finally, the hot springs where you can swim in the clear, warm water and relax - or choose to drop into the water from above with the swing rope.
Nickson was a fantastic guide. The combination of facts, jokes and lessons in Swahili meant this experience was truly one to remember. I highly recommend this experience - it’s one of the cheapest on the market yet it didn’t feel like any expense was spared.
