Where Timeless Wilderness Meets Honest Hospitality
A Classic Safari Retreat in the Heart of the Serengeti
Set amidst the boundless plains of central Serengeti, Arukore Simba Camp is where the untamed beauty of Africa unfolds at your doorstep. This is the Serengeti you’ve imagined—wide skies, golden grasses, and wildlife moving freely across one of the world’s most iconic ecosystems. Located along key migration corridors and rich in year-round game, the camp invites you to immerse yourself in a safari experience that is as soulful as it is spectacular.
At Arukore Simba Camp, nature is not curated—it is lived. This is where the rhythms of the wild dictate the day, and simplicity becomes its own kind of luxury.
Safari Living – Simple, Warm, and Wonderfully Close to Nature
Designed for travelers who value authenticity and comfort in equal measure, Arukore Simba Camp offers cozy accommodations that embrace the spirit of the bush while ensuring restful retreat:
Well-appointed canvas tents with real beds, soft linens, and natural materials
Private sitting areas where you can watch wildlife wander past camp
Eco-conscious bathrooms with solar-heated showers and water-wise design
Solar lighting and sustainable practices that tread gently on the land
A design aesthetic that feels grounded, welcoming, and true to place
Here, the luxury is found in space to breathe, time to watch, and the peace of sleeping beneath the Serengeti stars.
Meaningful Safari Adventures – Wild, Intimate, Unforgettable
Arukore Simba Camp places you in the midst of classic safari country, where each day brings new discoveries and age-old dramas. With experienced local guides and a deep respect for the ecosystem, every outing is both thrilling and thoughtful:
Game drives through central Serengeti’s wildlife-rich valleys and open plains
Seasonal sightings of the Great Migration as it thunders through the region
Predator action including lion prides, cheetah hunts, and stealthy leopards
Birdwatching opportunities featuring everything from lilac-breasted rollers to martial eagles
Cultural insights and stories that bring depth to your journey
This is safari that doesn’t just show you the wild—it invites you into its unfolding narrative.
Bush Cuisine – Nourishing, Uncomplicated, and Full of Flavor
At Arukore Simba Camp, mealtimes are a continuation of the safari experience—crafted with care, shared with heart, and always set against a backdrop of natural beauty:
Wholesome meals made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients
Breakfasts at sunrise, lunches in the shade, and dinners beneath the stars
Hearty East African dishes, grilled favorites, and satisfying vegetarian options
Refreshing drinks, warm teas, and sunset sundowners around the campfire
Personalized attention to dietary needs and preferences
Because good food, like good adventure, should be honest, generous, and deeply satisfying.
A Serengeti Stay That Stays With You
Arukore Simba Camp offers something rare—proximity to the action, without sacrificing serenity. It’s the kind of place where elephants might amble past your tent at dawn, where the fire crackles with stories under moonlight, and where each day ends with a sense of awe and gratitude.

Culture073891845022026-02-12세렝게티의 축소판, 응고롱고르를 놓치지 마세요 세렝게티와 응고롱고르 서파리를 안내해주었어요. 나의 가이드 Assad는 매우 친절했고 점잖았어요. 영어가 서툰 제가 이해하기 쉽도록 또박또박, 인내심을 가지고 성실하게 설명해주었어요. 가이드의 능력 밖의 일이기는 하지만. 저는 야생의 삶을 고스란히 볼 수 있었어요. 버팔로를 포획하여 뜯어먹는 사자 무리를 코 앞에서 볼 수 있었고, 얼룩말과 누 수천마리가 대이동하는 환상적인 장면도 있었지요. 외에도 수많은 야생동물을 볼 수 있었는데 그 때마다 충분히 감상할 수 있도록 좋은 위치에서 여유있게 시간을 주었어요. 점심식사가 독특했는데. 다른 여행객들이 도시락을 먹는데 반해 우리팀은 일행과 큰 냄비에 담긴 떠뜻한 음식을 나눠 먹었어요. 개인적으로 따뜻한 국물 요리를 먹을 수 있고, 일회용 쓰레기를 배출하지 않는다는 점에서 너무 만족했지만. 야외에서 이런 뷔페를 경험하는 걸 누군가는 싫어할 수 있겠지요. 25일 어프리카 여행을 멋진 야생체험으로 마무리할 수 있어서 행복했어요. 고마워요. Assad!
Damien B2026-02-02Very good safari road trip Great value for money. The organization by Kilipath was perfect: they were available, responsive, and everything ran on schedule. The team is extremely motivated.The jeep was spacious and comfortable, with power outlets to charge phones (although they didn’t always work). Our guide, David, was an excellent driver and did everything he could to make sure we were satisfied. He was very friendly and always in a great mood.The choice of lodges was excellent: spacious and luxurious. Lunches were very well organized, especially when eaten out in the middle of nature.However, we do not recommend the tent camp if you are looking for a minimum level of comfort (toilets, electricity). It also lacked atmosphere, even though there were many guests. Some light entertainment or welcome activity from our arrival around 4 p.m. until the evening would have been appreciated.Small bonus (or a big one in our opinion!): Kilipath gifted us a wonderful T-shirt!
Joaquín B2026-01-24Great experience The 4-day safari was excellent, the guides were superb and respectful of nature. The accommodations were excellent. Prisca de Kilipath always made sure we had the best experience.
Radim Slezák2026-01-20A great experience for the whole family. We booked a three-day stay with Kilipath African Safari. Lydia was very helpful and accommodating from start to finish in planning the trip and arranging all the arrangements.After arriving in Arusha, we visited Tarangire on the first day, and the next day we drove to the Ngorongoro Crater with the same driver, Mayunga. We were happy that we were able to observe wild animals such as elephants, zebras, giraffes, leopards, lions, hippos, flamingos, buffaloes and others in their natural environment of beautiful nature. We were also lucky and saw the big five, although the rhino was very far away, at least that's what the driver told us. :) The driver was very communicative and was able to answer our questions about not only the animals, but also the lives of the local people, interesting facts from history and some information about tribal conflicts.On the third day, together with our guides Lydia and Geofrey, we visited the Materuni waterfall with a breathtaking view of Kilimanjaro. During the ride to the waterfall, we used the time to chat with our guides and learned a lot of interesting information about the life and customs of the people of Tanzania. After swimming in the waterfall, we visited a local village for lunch with a demonstration of coffee processing, including roasting and subsequent tasting. At our request, the guides took us to a shop with truly beautiful goods, where we bought local pictures in the Tinga tinga style. :) All services provided and arranged by Kilipath African Safari were at a professional level and we recommend this trip to the mainland.
Marina V2026-01-18Very amazing trip Lydia is the best! We love our experience so much. There was good accommodation and not bad food. We have seen big five and many other animals.
Wouter G2026-01-1710/10. 2-day Safari Tarangire NP & Ngorongo Crater We asked for a quote 2 days before we wanted to leave for safari, because we got led on by another company that charged double (1500$ per person) at the last second. Within 30 minutes of asking for a quote we made the down payment (yes we we’re skeptical but we had good faith) and I can assure you everything went as smooth as it gets. Plane tickets were booked within 12 hours (because of a national holiday otherwise it would’ve been quicker), and the Tour operator arranged every step of the way. Transfer from hotel to the airport and back, on time. Had an amazing time at the Tarangire NP and Ngorongoro Crater. Seen all of The Big Five and our guide Adam was amazing. Credits to him for being as excited as we were to encounter rare sightings as the rhino, as well as a family of elephants drinking and bathing in the same pool of water. 10/10 would recommend Kilipath Safari’s, we had an amazing time with them. See you in the next one! ALWAYS BRING BINOCULARS OR A FAR LENS CAMERA. (Iphone 17 pro or better will do as well)Ps. Posted the same review at safari bookings. Do your research to see if you can book directly with Kilipath Safari. (We didn’t)Ps 2. 2-day safari, the atmosphere was amazing, tanzania is warm & welcoming of tourists. Day 1 we had 4 people in a jeep, day 2 we had 7 (still enough room for everyone). Best for travelers who want to see more of what nature has to offer and are not afraid to wake up early for it.
Rozeena R2025-11-24Professional and punctual Really well organised, highly recommended. The vehicle is neat, the guide is thoughtful. The food is good although the first camp site needs a proper washroom facility.
benjaminparis112025-11-20Super tour Great trick, nothing wrong. Very good orga, we were able to observe many animals including the famous top 5. I recommend
Oscar H2025-11-06A fantastic magical journey! The team of KiliPath African Safaris was an excellent choice for our safari, Prisca ut together an amazing safari plan for us and was very quick to answer any questions we had. Our guide George was very professinal, kind and knowledgeble. His expertise made our vacation even more amazing.
Sabrina B2025-10-27Great driving, organization to improve At the end of September we participated with kilipath in a 5-day safari and the experience itself was unforgettable, especially thanks to our guide George, a really exceptional person: professional, helpful and very prepared. Thanks to him we were able to see all the Big 5 and fully experience the magic of the safari.Unfortunately, the organization did not live up to the quality of the experience. After paying a 30% deposit by bank transfer before departure, we were required to pay the remaining amount in the middle of the road via POS, without issuing a receipt.Due to the large amount, the transaction went pending pending approval, but the clerk continued to repeat the operation, generating more charges to the account. One of us is still waiting for a full refund.In summary, the safari was wonderful thanks to the guide, but the organization and management of payments should be more transparent and professional.
