Serengeti Simba Lodge – Where the Wild Meets the Horizon

Perched high on a hill overlooking the endless savannah, Serengeti Simba Lodge offers a front-row seat to the drama, beauty, and serenity of the Serengeti. With sweeping 360-degree views, eco-conscious comfort, and prime access to one of the most iconic ecosystems on earth, this is more than a lodge—it’s a place to witness life on nature’s grandest stage.

Here, the horizon never ends, and the safari begins at your doorstep.


A Lodge with a View—and a Soul

Designed to harmonize with its environment, Serengeti Simba Lodge blends sustainability with authentic safari charm:

  • Spacious stone-and-thatch rooms and tented suites with en-suite bathrooms

  • Private decks offering panoramic views of the Serengeti plains or the nearby kopjes

  • Solar-powered lighting and environmentally responsible systems

  • A central dining and lounge area that opens to the wild—perfect for meals, sundowners, and storytelling under the stars

  • A refreshing swimming pool overlooking the savannah—ideal for a mid-day pause between game drives

Whether you’re sipping coffee with giraffes in view or watching the sky change colors at dusk, the lodge invites you to slow down and soak in the landscape.


Where the Wildlife Comes to You

Situated near the Makoma Hill area and within the migration corridor, Serengeti Simba Lodge is a privileged gateway to unforgettable wildlife encounters:

  • Daily game drives through the Serengeti’s central and western corridors, home to lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, and more

  • Seasonal front-row access to the Great Migration—wildebeest and zebra herds on the move, often passing right near the lodge

  • Birdwatching from your veranda or during guided excursions

  • Night skies full of stars, the sounds of the bush, and the occasional call of distant predators

From thrilling safaris to peaceful moments of stillness, the Serengeti reveals itself in layers—and Simba Lodge offers the perfect vantage point.


Dining in the Heart of the Serengeti

At Serengeti Simba Lodge, meals are as memorable as the views:

  • Fresh, flavorful dishes prepared daily by skilled local chefs

  • Menus inspired by Swahili and international cuisines, served buffet-style or à la carte

  • Packed breakfasts and lunches for early drives or full-day adventures

  • Dinner under the stars, with the glow of lanterns and the hush of the wild

  • Thoughtful accommodation of dietary needs and preferences

Every bite reflects the lodge’s warm hospitality and deep connection to the region.


Hospitality That Feels Like Home

What makes Serengeti Simba Lodge truly special is not just where it is—but who’s there:

  • A welcoming team that treats you like family from the moment you arrive

  • Experienced guides who bring the landscape to life with knowledge and passion

  • Staff who are proud of their heritage and eager to share it with you

  • A commitment to supporting local communities through employment and responsible tourism

You’ll come for the safari, but you’ll remember the people.

Great tour with amazing people We were able to see a variety of animals including the big 5! The tour guide and the chef were really kind and explained everything to us. Also the other tour participants were absolutely cool and we became good friends. Kilipath Afrocan Safari was always on time and responded quickly so totally recommended!! Would like to use them again.

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.

Kilimanjaro day hike materuni waterfall and hotspring "Thrilled with the Kilimanjaro private day hike to Materuni Waterfall and Hot Spring by Kilipath African Safaris! Seamless logistics, a personalized guide, and stunning landscapes made it a highlight of my Tanzanian journey. Materuni Waterfall and the soothing hot spring were an unbeatable combo. Highly recommend Kilipath African Safaris for an enriching blend of nature and culture in Kilimanjaro's heart!"
