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!

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.

I got in touch with Ally as a friend recommended the company as he went on Safari last year.
Planning with Ally was a very easy and seamless experience.

We had a great time on the 5 days, 4 night Camping Safari with Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire parks. Camping is basic, but it's an amazing adventure to do at least once in your lifetime, sleeping in the middle of the great African parks with wildlife around you. We could hear Hyenas and Buffalo in the distance.

We managed to see so much, and even saw Lions and Cheetah eating their prey.
We had Abdul and Modi as our cook. Both were excellent and would recommend. Abdul had a really good sense of humour and was an awesome driver. The roads were tricky due to rain in the weeks before, but he was an expert and he also got us into really good spots when coming across an animal so you are touching distance away.

Would love to come back do visit again the 'Dry-Season' and stay in the lodges for a different experience. Ally also visited us in our hotel after the safari to check in and see how it all was, which was a really nice touch. Thank you again, Simba Adventures!

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.

Sadi 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).

Booked a private 5-day safari tour to Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorogoro and Lake Manyara.

Every day was perfectly arranged and had no waiting time for entry of the parks or checking in at the hotels.

The driver was very nice and friendly. Always asked our opinions and make you feel comfortable.

Sadi was very kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. He set a good pace, and knew where to go to see everything.

Me and Rodolfo had a 5 days safari with Simba Adventures. We visit Tarangire N. P. - Serengeti and Ngorongoro. All has been great, lucky with the wheather too!
But what made this an unforgettable experience: Mr. Sadi Juma, our driver & guide. He’s very trustworthy. Always willing to help an a mine of informations regarding the wonderful wildlife of Tanzania. We strongly suggest to ask for Sadi when you book a safari with Simba Adventures. Hope to return in Tanzania soon.

This was my first safari, and going into it I had high expectations. I'm glad to say that Simba Adventures not only met those expectations, but exceeded them. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and professional, and he helped us get the most out of our sightings. The food was very good, and the campsites were scenic. This is a budget safari, so this is a more rugged experience than staying at a lodge. However, I personally would argue that it's a more authentic experience. If you choose Simba, I can't promise that you'll have the same incredible sightings that I had, but I can guarantee that you will have a great guide, a great cook, and a great experience.
