WHY SIMBA PAKA SAFARIS?

We understand that when our guests visit Kenya for a safari, holiday, or honeymoon, it is often a lifelong dream and a significant expense. We are therefore here to ensure that you receive honest, expert advice. We want to ensure that, based on your interests, budget, and travel season, we select the appropriate destinations, lodges, camps, and hotels for your itinerary.

Since then, we've grown into trusted curators of tailor-made East Africa journeys with obsessive attention to detail.

Why the name?

Rare & remarkable

Simba Paka reflects what we promise every traveller: journeys that feel wild, authentic and impossible to forget. We design each itinerary to uncover the rare and remarkable side of East Africa. If you are familiar with Africa, perhaps don’t dive immediately into the deep end of our website. With detailed reports on more than 950 lodges and camps to stay in, spanning 120 regions across 4 African countries, this website is comprehensive. You may prefer to start by thinking more generally about what you want. Our Guide-Drivers are by far the best in East Africa, not just for their knowledge and understanding of the country, its abundant wildlife, flora, and fauna, and its vibrant cultures, but also for their flexibility and friendliness toward our customers. Our guide will never rush our customers to conclude the program; they will always move at the customer’s pace. They instead allow our guests ample time to fully enjoy, share those wonderful moments, and take as many photographs as one would wish, and will only leave at their guests’ behest. They are in our full-time employment and, given that they are our company ambassadors. Our safari Land Cruisers are equipped with a Fridge/cooler chest for cold drinks. Inverters to charge batteries, binoculars, and bean bags for ardent photographers are always available in Vehicles.
