Picnic lunch in the crater, surrounded by scenery that steals your breath. More game viewing in the afternoon. Then, ascend the crater rim and transfer toward Arusha.

Day 6: Departure at Kilimanjaro International Airport

One last breakfast in Tanzania. One last morning to soak in the peace of your lodge, to breathe the African air, to replay the highlights reel in your mind.

Lions in the Serengeti. The crater floor at dawn. A rhino grazing against volcanic walls. Flamingos like pink confetti on the lakes. It's been unforgettable.

Depending on your flight, there may be time for a quick Arusha stop—souvenirs, photos, one final taste of local life. Then, transfer to Kilimanjaro International Airport.

As you fly home, carry the wild with you. This is the end of your safari, but the memories? They're just beginning.

Asante sana, Tanzania. Thank you for everything.

Our History

Born from a deep Chagga tribal pride, our story is rooted in the shadows of Mount Kilimanjaro. Founder Paul Ngoty began his guiding career in 1978 and has since completed over 19,500 safaris, sharing his ancestral land with the world. His profound understanding of the terrain and wildlife, honed over 48 years, has earned him roles as an ambassador driver for Tanzania and a guide for dignitaries such as Bill Clinton's staff. Now, Paul and his daughter, Janeth, pour this passion into Simcha Safaris, ensuring every journey honors the land, the wildlife, and the generations of guides who came before.
