Amazing Tanzania Safari
Florent did an excellent job during the booking process, he was very responsive and professional. We had sent him an email with our wish list of places and activities we wanted in Tanzania and he came back with a very reasonably priced offer for the 6 day private safari to Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater including a hot air balloon ride and a Masai boma visit. Honestly this was what set Snow Africa Adventures apart from the other operators
The actual trip turned out to be better than we expected, everything flowed like clockwork in the hands of our awesome guide. We managed to spot all the big five including very special encounters with lions and cheetahs in both Serengeti and Ngorongoro, Tarangire was ok but not exceptional. The highlight of our safari was in Serengeti Ndutu where we found ourselves in the middle of huge wildebeest herds stretching to the horizon.
The camp and lodges were fantastic, with comfortable rooms and great food.
I must agree that this one of the best travel experiences and I would love to do another trip with these professionals.

Everything was excellently organised with great service providers.
Snow Africa Adventures organised a private climb of Kilimanjaro for my honeymoon. All the details were considered from beginning to end. We also made a change in itinerary while on the mountain which they were able to accommodate with no problems.
Florent and his team thought of everything - we had an amazing time !
I would recommend Snow Africa Adventures to anyone wanting to climb Kili - they were very professional and very organised. They were also flexible (we decided we wanted to summit one day early and they made it happen). The staff are super helpful and friendly, our guides were knowledgeable and spoke perfect english. Even the food was delicious, which I still cant' figure out how they manage to do at those base camps . . .

Our guide Lorry made our experience wonderful!
Snow Africa Adventures took care of us for six days in Tanzania, from Lake Myanara, to the Ngorongoro Crater, to the Serengeti. We stayed in the Serena Lodge near the crater, and in two tent camps in the Serengeti. Every day we were out in the safari truck seeing the sights. Our driver/guide Lorry was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and very competent. Six days turned out to be a long time in the safari truck; we were often in the truck for eight hours at a time. But we saw so many wonderful sights that it was a small price to pay. Animal sightings included wildebeests, zebras, hippos, buffaloes, antelopes, giraffes, elephants, lions, birds of all kinds, jackals, crocodiles, and cheetahs. The tent camps were fun, the food was fine, and the views great. Sometimes hard to sleep with the wildebeests so close and loud, but that was part of the adventure.
We would have liked to have been advised to take a good supply of US dollars. We had to pay $100 in cash per person to get into Tanzania, and at the camps, US cash dollars were needed to by a bottle of wine for dinner and for tips. This was my only complaint: that we didn't get that message ahead of time.

Very well organised within our budget and time frame.
From pick up at Kilimanjaro airport to drop off at Arusha four days later, a very satisfying experience. Florent the organiser, Chiba and Lorrie the drivers all very friendly and knowledgeable. The animals were amazing!
No hesitation in recommending Snow Africa Adventures to friends and other tourists.

We went for 5 Days tour. One my friend recommended me about Snow Africa Adventures. From start to finish they were responsive and professional. The accommodation arrangements were really beautiful. They have organized a great safari. Our guides and driver were also very nice. They told us a lot about life in Tanzania.
It was a pleasure to have met this team!

A very good experience
I would highly recommend Snow Africa Adventures.
Our tour was custom made to suit our needs (We were a group of seven friends) and Florent did a great job in making sure that we had a comfortable trip. Our drivers and guides- Lorry and Cheeba were excellent communicators and very knowledgeable about the places we were taken to, as well as the animals.
We got to see more animals than we had expected. The lodges as well as the tented accommodation were comfortable and had all the facilities we had expected and more. The vehicles provided to us were in good condition and well suited for the safari.
Florent responded promptly to our emails and there was complete clarity, in advance about the customization of our trip. I would definitely go with Snow Africa again.

Tanzanian Safari
A group of 7 from Australia and Canada recently travelled to Tanzania for a safari. We had to have this "safari" tailor made to suits our needs and Florent from Snow Africa Adventures organised this trip for us. Right from the start he was very accommodating with our requests and a great communicator.
He arranged for us to be picked up at the airport in Kilimanjaro - then onto a 4 day safari and a drop off to Nairobi. The guides LORRY and CHEEMA he had organised for us were great as were the lodges.
Thank you Florent, Lorry and Cheema for making our safari adventure memorable. I would highly recommend Florent and his team.
Hope to be back one day :)

Great experience with Snow Africa in Tanzania!
We did 2 tours with Snow Africa. The first one was the Kilimanjaro Trek via Machame Route (7 days) and a 3 day safari through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti.
On the Kilimanjaro Trek we went along with our 2 guides, 1 cook and porters. They have always taken very good care of us, we have always got fresh, boiled water to drink and for clean up ourself. Joshua our chef was a really great cooker, especially his soups! Every evening we have a 3-course menu and lunch boxes/hot lunches during the day. Our guides, Julius and Hussein, were also very nice, they told us a lot about themselves and their life in Tanzania. From the walking pace they have adapted to us and also as we did not so well because of altitude sickness, they took good care of us. Although we did not have much to do with the Porters, they were always friendly to us. The work they do is very exhausting and hard, but you always seem them laughing. It was a pleasure to have met this team!
After Kilimanjaro and a break in Zanzibar, we came back to the Mainland for a Safari. We decided to do the Safari with Snow Africa, because we were really happy with the owner Florent and the Trek before. We did a private 3 day safari through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti. We stayed in 2 different public camps in the nationalparks in tents with our guide Benjamin and the same chef Joshua like on the Kilimanjaro trek. Our guide was really friendly and knows a lot about animals and the nationalparks. Because of him, we saw a lot of animals, especially our wish for male lions, actually we spotted the BIG Five.
We can only recommend Snow Africa and would do a tour with them anytime we came back to Tanzania. Everything was well planned and organized. Thanks for everything!
