Meet Simbo Natai, The Director

Simbo Natai was born and raised in the heart of Tanzania Safari and brings over a decade of experience in planning unforgettable safaris and Kilimanjaro Climbs. His passion for showcasing Tanzania’s beauty and culture led to the creation of African Scenic Safaris. With a focus on authentic experiences, sustainability, and community impact, Simbo continues to guide a dedicated team in delivering meaningful and memorable journeys across Tanzania.

"A Safari through Tanzania is only as memorable as the people who bring it to life—those who ensure every step is effortless, every moment rich with meaning."

How We Help You Travel

We design travel experiences that are personal, well-planned, and deeply connected to Tanzania’s people, nature, and wild beauty.

We know that a trip to Tanzania isn’t just another holiday—it’s often a long-awaited dream. That’s why we treat every journey with the care it deserves. At African Scenic Safaris, our work starts long before you arrive. We’ve built a strong team of travel planners, guides, and local experts who understand Tanzania like home.

From climbing Kilimanjaro to exploring national parks, we plan each detail with precision. We don’t just book trips—we guide, recommend, and walk alongside you to make sure every moment feels just right. Our team knows the seasons, the hidden spots, and how to match the right experiences with the right traveller.

What we do is simple: we take your travel ideas and turn them into something real, memorable, and meaningful—on the ground, in the wild, and throughout your time in Tanzania.

Expertly Equipped

Field-tested, globally certified, and locally grounded, our team turns complex logistics into effortless experiences across Tanzania’s breathtaking landscapes.

Planning a trip with African Scenic Safaris isn’t just about logistics—it’s about insight, care, and doing things the right way. Every journey we build is grounded in firsthand experience. Our guides hike the trails. Our team sleeps in the lodges. We return to the same places our travellers will explore—not because we have to, but because we want to keep getting it right.

We believe in being ahead of the details. From the base of Kilimanjaro to quiet safari camps off the main route, we check, re-check, and question everything. If it doesn’t meet our standards—on comfort, care, or environmental impact—it doesn’t make it into your itinerary.

This is how we create trips that feel smooth, thoughtful, and true to Tanzania. Here’s what sets our team apart and why your journey is in the best hands:

  • Wilderness First Responders (WFR)

    Our high-altitude guides are equipped to manage medical situations in remote terrain with calm, competence, and care.

  • Accredited Naturalists & Wildlife Trackers

    Our safari guides are certified in species behaviour, terrain navigation, and advanced interpretation of ecosystems.

  • Cultural Diplomat

    With deep local roots, our team brings perspective, etiquette, and meaningful exchanges to every cultural experience.

  • Strategic Travel Architects

    Our in-house designers optimise your time, energy, and comfort, balancing adventure with ease, freedom with structure.

  • Commitment to Continuous Learning

    We invest in ongoing training programs covering safety, technology, climate awareness, and guest care excellence.

With us, you travel with a team that’s as prepared as it is passionate. Every decision we make has one goal—to improve your experience and protect the places we love.
