After looking for a long time to re visit tanzania and looking to make my trip longer and unique I came across sima safari on the social network
After a few calls to the company I understood that it’s not like any other safari company
The design and planning of my trip was Taylor made
Every idea I had was put to action using their advice and experience
We did bush sleeping with an amazing cock
Had the best guide by far and always saw the most amount of animals with an awesome explanation
We always had anything we wanted a phone call away talking to amazing people who do what they love and the best at it
I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything
I will come back and when I do it will be only with sima safari! Much love!

We were a family of 6, who did the above safari that included also arusha national park, lake natron and tarangiri. In addition we had about 2 days in Zanzibar, but the safari is the real thing here. Alon is available and helpful all the time, he was not only responsible for the itinerary, but also was willing to accomodate it to our suggestions, and we can consult him about any issue before and during the safari. Our guide was excellent in all respects - identifying and spotting animals, explanations, flexibilty during the route and human relations. Our experience was great: we saw all the "must" animals and beyond, had the chance to follow to hunting scenes, and got experience in spotting the animals ourselves. Our interaction with the various tribes was also very pleasant. In some we enjoyed it alot and it was a great experience. just one caveate: check the rating of the various lodges in the web, and if you have doubt about one of them discuss it. Not all times it is possible to find another one along the route, but it is worth a try.

I have just returned from a safari in Tanzania run by Sima Safari. I highly recommend this company and was especially impressed with our three guide/drivers: Godfrey, Lawrence and Raja who were extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. They really know how to make a first time visitor feel comfortable and their abilities in detecting game, espying birds from afar are nothing less than amazing. They are very well up on all subjects of natural history of the area as well.
Our group numbered 11 people and we drove around in three vehicles that could accommodate 6 or 7 passengers, this made for a very comfortable spacious safari experience.
Some of the camps we stayed in were a bit more basic than I would have preferred but all in all the staff were always very nice and helpful. I imagine it would be possible to ask for better accommodations for a bit of a higher price, but our group of mostly pensioners managed fairly well all in all.

Wow! what experience we have just had! 5 days safari in Tanzani and a long great weekend in Zanzibar, all organized by Alon Hovav-Sima Safari ... everything was perfect! Our great guide Godfrey was able to share his passion for his marvelous country and animals, we held our breath, together with him, while watching the leopard that passed our jeep, the elephant feeding his baby, we learned a lot about animal word, the Masai customs, the legends of the savannah and meet all these great people who did not know what to do to please us. No mistake in the organization of the stay, the timing was very well managed and now we are back, the camera full of splendid
pictures and the head full of wonderful memories! thank you Alon, I hope that we could very quickly renew the experience! it was so good!
