Very good price for quality
We spent 6 nights and 7 days in safari. It was a budget safari but they made all changings we request. The accommodations were fine and clean. We had our private cook for 4 days, the food was tasty. David and Lucy were very kind and checked every day if all was good. I warmly recommend this company/ firm.

Truly unique and unforgettable safari experience
A friend recommended Dancing Simba Safaris and we couldn’t be happier for choosing them for our first safari! Everything was beyond our expectations!
David, you were fantastic from the beginning accommodating all of our requests and organising the best safari experience we could ask for!
Everything was so smooth and so well organised that we didn’t have to worry about anything!
And to our amazing guide Ali- thank you!! You made our safari even more unforgettable with your patience and knowledge of the areas, local culture and wildlife!
We are so happy that we had the chance to see your beautiful country- it truly is a magical place!
Asante Sana!

Amazing experience!
We booked a 3 day safari and we absolutely loved the experience. Ali, our driver, was extremely knowledgeable, giving us the background history of the area and the parks. He was also excellent at spotting animals that to our untrained eyes aldeares camouflaged and hidden.
We stayed in 2 different accommodations, 1 budget lodge and the other more upmarket. Both locations were great.
Pleople in general are extremely friendly and nice with you. We would definitely recommend Dancing Simba and we would love to return to do other national parks.

Best trip ever!
We loved our trip with Dancing Simba Safaris. The communication was very good from the start - they always replied within minutes to our queries and made everything possible.
Just before our trip started, one of our accommodations wasn’t accessible anymore due to an elephant destroying the water tank. David made sure that we had a good alternative and even came to our hostel to discuss the other options with us.
During the safari, our guide (Ali) explained a lot and he took good care of the nature and the animals. We had the best time exploring the national parks and watching the animals in their natural habitat.
Thanks!

Exceptional customer service from start to finish.
We have just finished a 3 day safari in the Serengeti, as part of our honeymoon, organised by Dancing Simba Safari. All I can say is that it was exceptional and far exceeded our expectations.
I was nervous about booking through a company I had found on a comparison website, however our contact from Day 1 (Brenda) was on hand to support with our booking and answer all of our queries, round the clock. She tailored a package to meet our budget, expectations and requirements. Brenda organised everything from our transfer to leaving our hotel in Zanzibar to our transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport for our international flight.
We flew from Zanzibar to Serona (via Arusha) seamlessly (the second flight had great views in a 15 seater plane), where we met our guide (Bulldozer). With over a decade of experience, he stayed with us and expertly guided us through out our 3 day private safari experience. He tailored our safari to what we wanted to do. We seen every key animal there was to see (apart from one), which on a really short safari is testament to the skill of the guide. We have thousands of photos that will last a life time.
Due to our short trip, we spent most of the time on the game drives. That said, the accommodation that you choose is important. Where possible, I would recommend a camp inside the national park, they range in price and quality drastically. Our favourite was The Escarpment Luxury Camp - it was exceptional. It can feel scary at night (the camps are in the midst of the park where the animals roam, so important to have somewhere you feel comfortable).
On our return to Arusha, we swung by the Dancing Simba office to meet the owner (that we had heard so much about).
An exceptional experience that is highly recommended.

Best vacation of my life
Dancing with simba safari crew were professional, dependable, friendly, knowledgeable.
My plain was running late, I was very concerned about missing the safari and they wouldn’t be there when I arrived with my son. However they help me to find why my plain was delayed and reassured they will wait for me. Once I arrive to the Serengeti my new friend Grayson was waiting for us with a smile. That made all the difference! My tour guide Grayson was the best! Genuine great person, knowledgeable about the Serengeti and made us feel safe. Along the way we became friends and now he is our brother from another mother! The resorts were excellent, the game drive superb!
At the end the owner came to greet us! Gave us a souvenir, and made us feel like family!
Let me not forget Seleka who I initially interacted to build my package and helped me all the to the end of my trip to ensure everything went well.
Thank you guys

Very Glad!
We had the best time on our 3 days safari to Serengeti. First of all our guide Ali 's knowladge about animals and environment was very useful. All Dancing Simba team is working only for your good. The only suggestion might be about their cars, due to environment, cars wear down quickly and may need to re-new them.
We stayed in Matawi Tent and Serengeti Lodge, also these facilities are very clean with the best crew.
Very happy to joined this adventure with Dancing Simba.

Unforgettable experience that will stay with forever! Thanks Simba Safaris ☺️
From the very beginning we felt very comfortable on the safari. This is especially thanks to our guide Mali. With a lot of specialist knowledge about the flora and fauna, care for the group and a good sense of where to go, he gave us a unique time all round.
Our food during the safari was also excellent. We have our chef Richard to thank for this, who prepared super delicious, freshly cooked food. Our expectations were absolutely exceeded by the large number of animals we saw👍🏼. On the second day we saw all of the Big 5. Since we also paid attention to the small animals and plants and received a lot of information from Mali about them, the safari was always exciting and never boring.
The group feeling was super familiar. The evenings ended in a convivial atmosphere with a glass of wine, good conversations and playing cards. Here too we would like to highlight the positive fact that our guide also enriched the group in the evening with further interesting information about the country and its people.
