African Scenic Safaris

Our Story

How Did Our Journey Begin?

By Simbo Natai

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.

A dream come true for us!

We spent an incredible 10 days and 9 nights exploring the stunning landscapes of Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area – it was truly a dream come true for us, and a trip we will never, ever forget!

A birthday Tanzanian Safari

African Scenic Safaris was recommended to us by someone who has gone with them twice over the past several years. We recently returned from a 9-day safari and five days in Zanzibar. From start to finish, our experience with them was great.
