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.
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 . . .

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.

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.

Awesome, we should do this again
Florent planned our bespoke safari to Tanzania so smoothly that it was a pleasure for my wife and I learning about the options and activities on offer, in the end we selected the 5 day luxury safari. This trip was sublime in all ways and I have already told my family and friends to look out for this company for the best safari experiences in Tanzania.
We loved the game drives in the customized off roader with Chiba our drver and guide, he was awesome company from Arusha to Lake Manyara where we spent our first day in the small but beautiful park (baboons, elephants, buffaloes, pelicans, flamingoes, zebras and crownbirds). The next 3 days in Serengeti ( elephants, wildebeest, zebras, cheetahs, giraffes, buffaloes, lions –mating, hippo pool, hot air balloon ride and hyenas) The last day took us to Ngorongoro Crater ( all the animals mentioned for Lake Manyara and Serengeti plus rhinos and awesome views of the crater from the view point)
We enjoyed the safari very much. We should do this again very soon!

Awesome Memories
My 2 friends and I completed our trip at the start of March, we count ourselves lucky that we were able to experience spectacular beauty and adventure before the COVID 19 related restrictions were in place. We picked Snow Africa Adventures for our safari because it was clear that Florin understood exactly what we were looking for and offered the best price for the type of accommodations and activities we wanted. The trip actually worked out better than we expected, we had an experienced guide with a great personality, who knew just about everything about Tanzania. His masterly of art of tracking animals led us to great sightings. We stayed in premier lodges with amazing well trained staffs and postcard locations. I now understand that a perfect safari is not just sighting wild animals but a wholesome experience catering for all the senses ..tastes, sights, scents, sensations and sounds that be in our memories for a lifetime.

Top Safari Organizer
Going on Safari with Snow Africa Adventure was a pleasurable experience. Florent took care of everything in 6 days safari tour starting with our transfers, park fees & permits, transport, accommodations including visits to a coffee farm and a Maasai Lodge. All accommodations in Arusha, Ngorongoro and Serengeti were top of the range, staying in them was equally awesome and worthy the premium rates. Lory our guide took us on amazing game drives, his expertise and patience gave us the best wildlife tracking experience. Our cameras captured many animal scenes including some extremely hard to see (a serval cat, 2 leopard, a rhino and a distant sighting of a pack of wilddogs). We also documented the Maasai Lodge memories.
It was such a beautiful trip that I have already recommended most of my friends.

Romantic Holiday
I planned a surprise anniversary trip to Tanzania with Snow Africa Adventures. Florent helped me create a great schedule from various options that had safari walks because we find hiking as a more intimate way to experience nature.
The safari was amazing as we had an experienced and likeable Benjamin guiding us, we relied on him to find animals and tell us more about them, he was also our go between translator with the locals at the Maasai Boma we visited.
Some unforgettable highlights are; lovely candle lit dinner at Melia Serengeti on our anniversary night, walking on the rim of Ngorongoro crater enjoying awesome views, close encounters with many animals..... I could go endlessly
It was an awesome gift deliverd perfectly by wonderful Snow Africa Adventures

Incredible Kilimanjaro trekking and safari
We had an amazing Kilimanjaro trekking experience with Snow Africa Adventures at the beginning of the year. The booking process with Florent was easy and smooth, always giving timely comprehensive responses and secure payments.
Julius our main mountain guide from Snow Africa Adventures picked us up from the airport to our hotel and returned later in the evening for a detailed briefing about the 7 days Machame climb and inspect our equipment.
Julius is an incredibly experienced guide and knew everything about Kilimanjaro, leading the crew of 12 porters and Mzuzu our expedition chef with Hussein his assistant.
This journey pushed us to discover our strengths and frailities when we had to rely on the expertise of our crew. They kept us safe at all times, there were daily health checks just to make sure we were in good health. The food was plentiful and surprisingly excellent. We are lucky to have agreed to go with a mobile toilet because I was shocked by the filth of the public facilities
Honestly these guys are the real and we would not have made it to the summit without them. I have nothing but great admiration and gratitude for their professionalism and hard work.
We also had 3 amazing days of safari to Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater after the trek with safari guide Lorry. We were treated to thrilling game drives filled with wildlife encounters and relaxed overnights in excellent lodges.
I fully recommend Snow Africa Adventures as an excellent choice for Kilimanjaro trekking and safari expeditions
