Our strong buying power and close cooperation, our guests will be allocated with the best rooms possible.
Safety is our First Priority
Our new headquarter in Arusha, is one of the best equipped. The office is 2 stories high with the most modern equipment. We own the youngest fleet of SAFARI CRUISERS and maintain them to very high standards. All our safari vehicles are equipped with long range radio linked to our base of operations.
The Best Guide on Safari
Simba Safaris guides are the best in the business. Our guides are full time employees, have a minimum of ten years of safari experience and only the finest guides are employed to escort our safaris. Every Simba Safaris guide is an expert game tracker and has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history, geography, people, flora and fauna of East Africa, as well as excellent driving and mechanical skills. With a maximum of just four to six passengers in each vehicle, our guides provide a very personal service. Simba Safaris has a number of naturalist escorts who accompany special safari groups during the year and our “all inclusive” safaris.
The Best Service on Safari
The Three Brothers and The Tour Managers, who are the son of two of the Brothers, personally monitors the day to day operations on the ground in Arusha and Dar es salaam, assisted by a dedicated team of safari experts. Our staff may be contacted at any time and every hotel and safari lodge has access to Simba Safaris staff in an emergency. Designated staff meets every guest on arrival at the airport, takes care of their luggage and escorts them to their hotel and assists with registration. Every Simba Safaris guest also receives a personal safari briefing and assistance with sightseeing excursions, restaurant reservations, shopping and confirmation of return flights.
Unlimited Game Viewing
Unlike most other safari operators, Simba Safaris does not place a mileage limit on game drives, so that you can enjoy unlimited game viewing activities. Our guides maintain an acceptable distance from wildlife and avoid crowded situations with other vehicles. By exclusive arrangement we commence game viewing at Ngorongoro crater very early in the morning, with a picnic breakfast on the crater floor and up to six hours of unhurried game viewing before returning to your lodge for a late lunch, allowing you to enjoy the Ngorongoro crater without the hordes of tourists.
The Best Safari Vehicle
Simba Safaris is one of the very few safari operators in East Africa that still owns and operates our own fleet of custom built Safari Cruisers.
At Simba Safaris, your safety and comfort on safari is very important. You spend hours travelling and game viewing in one of our new Safari Cruisers. Each one is custom designed with an extra large photographic roof hatch, extra dust proofing, comfortable seats with seat belts and canvas covers, first aid kits, binoculars, a selection of field guides and a cooler stocked with bottles of mineral water supplied by Simba Safaris at no additional cost.
Every Safari Cruiser carries a maximum of six passengers so that every passenger is guaranteed a window seat and access to the photographic roof hatch at all times during the safari. Simba Safaris vehicle is equipped with a long range radio system linked to our vehicle workshop in Arusha or Nairobi or Dar es Salaam.
Every Safari Cruiser is serviced after each safari, and sold after just two years of service, usually to another safari company!!!
