Qui sommes nous

Who We Are

A family of guides, drivers, and dreamers.

Simba Wa Porini “Lions of the Bush” began with little more than a single dusty Land Cruiser, a deep passion for the wilderness, and a simple promise: to share the raw, captivating beauty of Tanzania in an unhurried, deeply personal way.

We never set out to run ordinary tours or tick off wildlife sightings like items on a checklist. To us, a true safari is an art. It’s about slow mornings watching the golden light break across the Serengeti, lingering at a quiet waterhole as an elephant herd moves through, and feeling the pulse of the African wild without feeling rushed

about-simba wa porini safaris

A word from the Founder of Simba wa Porini Safaris

Our team is made up of born-and-raised local guides who don’t just know the land—they live it. They are master trackers, passionate conservationists, and warm storytellers who turn long game drives into unforgettable conversations.

Though we’ve grown over the years, our spirit remains entirely unchanged. Whether you’re setting foot on the plains for the very first time or returning to the wild, when you travel with Simba Wa Porini, you arrive as a guest and leave as family.
