Planning For Trekking In Kilimanjaro?

Let Us Help You Create Your Dream Holiday Experience!

How Did Our Journey Begin?

Being a Safari & Mountain guide, our founder and CEO, Simbo Natai had a passion for Tour-leading and guiding guests to showcase the beauty of Tanzanian Nature, Wildlife, and Landscapes. Through his guiding years, he had a dream of eventually having his own Safari and Mountain Climbing company which turned into a reality in 2009. He wanted to share his passion for Tanzania wildlife and Mount Kilimanjaro in a way he envisioned himself and from the feedback he received from his clients.

With overflooding requests for Simbo to be their guide, he decided he needed to find others who shared the same passion as he could not handle the overwhelming requests. Which eventually led to the formation of African Scenic Safaris was dedicated to providing Tanzania experiences with the same passion he had.

Amazing experience

We relied on African Scenic Safaris for organising a 5 days safari. Nembris provided us with suggestions for the itinerary through Serengeti.
