Excellent
Dear Hans, Derrick and other staff members of High Peaks Expeditions. We again had a pleasant stay in your beautiful country during three weeks exchange program. We found out that you do a hell of a job to make it your visitors as comfortable a possible. Thank you for helping us guiding us and oh, Bashiri the food was excellent.
Keep up the good work, till next time.

Excellent three-day safari to Ngorongoro Wildlife Conservation Area
My short safari with High Peaks was perfect from all points of view. I arrived in Tanzania in late April and was met by my High Peaks driver, Livingstone, who speaks excellent English and was an informative guide to the flora and fauna we encountered. Because archaeology is one of my interests, we first drove to the Olduvai Gorge where our guide, Ms Chalangi, a university graduate student, gave a thorough explanation of the site first excavated by Louis Leakey and where some of the first traces of early hominids have been found. Then we continued to the Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge, my hotel for the next two nights, a very good choice for its courteous staff and fabulous views over the Ngorongoro Crater. The next day we visited a Masai village where we were warmly greeted and I was shown the kindergarten building of which the village is rightfully proud. From there we descended into the Ngorongoro Crater and, because the day was sunny and warm, were treated to sightings of nearly all the birds and mammals that romp there, including, I counted them, thirty lions! The last day we drove slowly back to Arusha, passing by the park at Manyara Lake. My guide was always patient with my questions and requests and deserves much credit for the pleasure I got from this safari. The rest of the credit goes, of course, to High Peaks itself and to Hans Kitungu for his clear and prompt responses to all my questions before the trip. He always listened to me and respected my preferences so that we could design a fully satisfying safari according to my interests.
This is what every visitor wants, a flexible, communicative, attentive, and respectful tour operator and staff. I am very happy I found High Peaks.

Just wonderful
Everything was excellent. The guides the food, the promptness, comfort, communication etc. We climbed MT Kilimanjaro then did a safari with them in Tanzania. The price is good too as they are a local company and don't have the layers of admin costs that they have in Australia US or UK. Thoroughly recommend them.

Excellent
The communiccation with Hans was good, he made us an excellent offer. We travelled with a very good guide and visited Lake Manyara, Nogorongoro, Serengeti and Tarangire. It was a beautifull week. The lodges were good and our guide pointed out what we missed. Seen such beautifull animals. Excellent. Later we were in Selous and had some wonderfull days there. We think, we are convinced that Hans is well organized and is able to make a difference organising a trip. He is certainly trustworthy. In Zanzibar we made our own choice and he respected the choice, gave free advice. Hans, Thank you for making a dream really true.

Reliable
We made a great trip to a number of National Parks in September. Our guide Livingstone spoke good English, was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. Everything went according to plan, nothing went wrong. The financial part was also carefully handled. We can definitely recommend High Peak Expeditions and organizer Hans Kitumbu.

Our gids, Fortune and Shebby, were the niciest we could wish for!
Difficult to say, because we were with a school project "Global Exploration". And we weren't really informed about the safari because our teachers didn't tell us.

High quality experience
Communication is key. High peak understands this. Their staff understands this. Everything can be asked and they think in possibilities. In this way it makes the tour bring people together. After the tour it felt like I had a new family. It was a very good experience.

This tour operator is hands down the best trip experience I've ever had to date!
So I cannot rave enough about our experience with High Peaks Expedition!! Lisa and Elias were phenomenal. Meeting and exceeding our expectations!! The safari we did went off without a hitch. If you ever need a company while in Tanzania...this is the one!
