Luxurious and highly recommended! Arukore Simba Camp was the best lodge we have ever been to. The attention to detail in all areas of the camp were second to none and the extremely friendly staff made our stay even more special. The food was delicious and the rooms were very luxurious. We loved the feel of it being open in the wild and we saw and heard plenty of wild animals during our stay!
Arukore: heaven in serengeti It was fantastic staying I the middle of the Serengeti. Arukore is delightful. The staff was very accommodating and met our every need. The food was amazing. We were sad not to be able to swim, but the pool also looked absolutely exquisite. Overall great experience.
Stunning views and excellent staff This lodge was absolutely fantastic. The scenery was beautiful with wild animals coming outside the room, the room designs were newer than the other lodges with upgraded power outlets etc and better food. The staff was extremely hospitable, caring, and knowledgeable. They constantly checked in on us to see if we we needed anything.
Amazing lodge Amazing lodge, perfect aesthetics. Service was fabulous and the scenery was divine. All the staff greeted us kindly upon arrival and it’s definitely a place you will miss at departure. Despite being the first guests to stay in the lodges, we felt very safe and assured through our stay.
