Best decision I could have made and I can't recommend these guys enough
I summited Kilimanjaro with several friends and we used Barafu ( 8 day Lemosho ) and it was the smartest decision we could've made. It was very important to us to use a local company to keep money flowing into the local economy. The upside to going local is that you're going to get the best advice from people who live it 24/7/365. I threw numerous questions at Chance throughout the planning stage and he got back with me in a timely fashion. Our guides, Rapha, Winnie, Ashim and Mohammed were the best. The food every night was better than expected. At every turn the guides were concerned about everyone's well being. They weren't just concerned but were also inspiring and you'd be surprised at how far that encouragement goes. Lastly, I couldn't have made it to the top had it not been for Winnie literally pushing me up the mountain. I cannot recommend Chance and his company high enough. Super added bonus: The price was extremely affordable. Worth every cent.

Exactly what I was looking for in my African adventures!
Was very impressed and and happy with Barafu and my choice to choose them to make my Kilimanjaro dreams come true! Their professionalism and safety were unprecedented and because of them, my brother and I were able to conquer the summit. The Rongai Route allowed us to see some wildlife and also avoid the crowds. I'm not used to hiking with hundreds of people, the this was the route for us. Barafu treated their porters with respect and in return, they worked harder for us. I never once felt uncomfortable or in question of their service. Thank you Barafu for everything! We will be back!

Amazing Company w/ amazing team members!
Chance and Barafu Tours were awesome! The team they put together is just phenomenal. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or refer them to any of my closest friends. The took great care of us and their cooks/chefs are amazing!
Barafu Tours and Safaris
Used Barafu Tours & Safaris for my recent (11/19/16) climb up Kilimanjaro, and my expectations and mind were blown by the excellent service provided by the Barafu family. Our guides (Shoutout to Imran, Mohammed, and Rafael) were patient, knowledgeable, and easy to hang with. Our food was restaurant-quality (Chef Abbus) and served by Pray, our thoughtful waiter. The climb was tough mentally, physically, and at times, emotionally, but the support we received offset any difficulties naturally occurring on the mountain. Highly recommend and would use again for future climbs and services.

Newer Company. Good People.
First off, I will add that I did not personally go on a Safari or Trek with Barafu but I did meet one of the owners during my trip to Moshi, Tanzania this past Fall, and have stayed in touch with him since. This is a newer company full of guys that have been in the business for a very long time that decided to branch out on their own. From a character standpoint, I am certain the Barafu staff will go out of there way to make sure you feel safe, comfortable, and have a great experience. I would not hesitate to book with them.
great safaris
I travelled to Tanzania early March... wanted to get to see the beautiful and breath taking Mount Kilimanjaro, The roof of Africa and I must say I enjoyed Chance's company while I was in Moshi, Tanzania. He tried his best to give me the information I required and I would definitely recommend his services!

Kilimanjaro day tour
I went on a Kilimanjaro day tour with barafu tours & safaris and I had the best moment ever! I recommend this company as I was handled very professionally and it wasn't about the money. They made sure that all my questions were answered and I am looking forward to go up to the summit end of this year and I will definitely go with barafu tours & safaris. I highly recommend it!

Best Value Trekking Company
Climbed killi via Machame route with my 16 yo daughter for my 50th over new years eve. Chance and the Barafu Team and his crew did an amazing job of getting us to the summit despite some rain and pain. The porters deserve every cent of their tips and more for their agility, strength and singing ability. Pack good rain gear and rated sleeping bag!
