wild africa your way
Every Simba Guides journey is built around your pace, travel style, and priorities, whether you are planning your first safari or returning for a deeper adventure. We begin with a practical conversation about your timing, interests, comfort level, and must-see wildlife goals. From there, we shape routes that balance iconic parks with quieter moments that feel personal and unhurried. Our team helps you compare options clearly so you can make confident choices before you travel. The result is an itinerary that feels intentional, realistic, and fully tailored to you.

Need extra flexibility? We can adjust your accommodation style from classic lodges to intimate tented camps based on your budget and comfort preferences. We can also tune daily pacing, with earlier starts for photographers or slower days for families and honeymoon travelers. If you want to focus on migration crossings, predator tracking, birding, or cultural visits, we can prioritize those experiences in the route. Airport logistics, internal transfers, and special meal requirements are all coordinated in advance to reduce stress on arrival. Before final confirmation, you receive a clear plan with transparent inclusions so there are no surprises during the trip. This approach keeps the journey smooth, personal, and aligned with what matters most to you.

Guest Feedback
Source: TripAdvisor reviews for Simba Guides African Journey.
We booked 11 days with six safari days, and Costa adjusted the plan around migration timing so we could see more. His park knowledge helped us spot the Big Five and multiple cheetah families.

TripAdvisor review: "Amazing 11 days in the national parks around Arusha" (Sep 2024)
Costa planned our Tarangire safari perfectly, was warm and social throughout, and shared great wildlife knowledge. He also handled our food preferences better than we expected.

Truly an amazing experience from start to finish. Costa knew where to go every day to maximize sightings, and we rated the trip above a 10 when we got home.
