Arukore Simba Camp – Serengeti
Untamed Spirit, Timeless Safari

A Wild Heartbeat Beneath Serengeti Skies

Cradled in the sweeping savannas of the central Serengeti, Arukore Simba Camp is where the call of the wild echoes freely and nature writes the day’s agenda. This is classic safari territory—rich with wildlife, golden horizons, and the primal rhythms of predator and prey. Whether it’s the roar of a lion at dawn or the graceful passage of a giraffe through the grasslands, every encounter here is unscripted and unforgettable.

At Arukore Simba Camp, simplicity meets soul. It’s not about luxury for show—it’s about authenticity, comfort, and a deep connection to one of Africa’s most legendary landscapes.


Rooted in the Land – A Camp with Character and Care

Built for those who seek meaning in the wild, Arukore Simba Camp blends rustic charm with practical comforts. Its design respects the Serengeti’s fragile ecosystem, with low-impact structures that nestle into the landscape rather than dominate it:

  • Spacious canvas tents with real beds, cozy bedding, and warm Maasai-inspired décor

  • Private verandas where zebras may graze just beyond your gaze

  • Eco-conscious bathrooms with solar-heated water and conservation-minded fittings

  • A layout designed to provide privacy, peace, and panoramic views of the plains

  • Soft lighting powered by the sun, casting a gentle glow after sunset

Here, you live with the land—not just on it.


Safari as It Should Be – Wild, Wonder-Filled, and Wonderfully Real

The Serengeti is a living storybook of nature, and Arukore Simba Camp is your front-row seat to its most iconic chapters. The camp offers curated experiences that invite you to observe, learn, and engage with this land in its truest form:

  • Daily game drives led by seasoned guides who know every track and trail

  • Opportunities to witness the Great Migration during key seasons

  • Encounters with the Big Five—and the lesser-known, equally mesmerizing small wonders

  • Evenings by the fire, sharing sightings and stories under a sky alight with stars

  • Optional bush walks and cultural exchanges with local communities

It’s not just about seeing animals—it’s about feeling the pulse of the wild.


Nourishment in the Bush – Honest Food, Shared Stories

  • Comforting dishes prepared fresh, with vegetarian options always available

  • Packed picnic breakfasts for early starts and fire-lit dinners under the stars

  • Tea, coffee, and refreshments served with warmth and intention

Uforgetable safari 5/5 We had been communicating on Whatsapp from my home country. They prepared various options at my request and were very responsive and kind. After arriving in Arusha, they picked us up at our hotel and left us at Kilimanjaro Airport as per our request. The safari was amazing! The lodges exceeded expectations, and the food there was also nice. The tour guide was so kind and fun, making the experience truly enjoyable. We saw all the Big Five and many other animals! It was an unforgettable experience!

Words cannot explain how amazing this experience is Lovely/amazing/once in a life time/crazy/incredible… words cannot justify the experience that we have had with this tour, a gentleman called felix is who we booked our safari with and he picked us up personally from the airport and took us to our first hotel for the night in arush he was lovely and very kid hearted and hospitable, our driver was also very nice and very educated and alert to make sure we didn’t miss out on any of the amazing animals… and we saw lots, antelope/zebras/wild beasts/lions/rhinos/elephants/giraffes just to name a few… the camp site looked amazing however we had booked tented lodges before hand and regretted it incredibly when we had seen the camp sites but non the less the tented camps were also amazing, the food was incredible both on the safari and in the lodges and it was nice to have picnics with the group, I would 10000% advise you to book with these guys as just a recommendation is not enough, I hope to be back in the near future and will be booking with these guys again :)

Amazing Day To Climbing Mountain Kilimanjaro My husband and I reserved a one-day hike to Mandara Hut on Kilimanjaro with our guide, Mr. Joel. He picked us up from the hotel at 6 am and returned us by 8 pm. Mr. Joel ensured our comfort throughout the day, attending to all our needs during the hike. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a Kilimanjaro trek.
