6-day Kilimanjaro route & 6-day Safari...the most unforgettable and amazing experiences of my life!
5/5

Me and my friend Cathy showed up at Kilimanjaro Grand Hostel with the idea of looking for and compare tour operators to do the Lemosho route in Kilimanjaro, and our dreamed-since-childhood safari. After meeting Mandela, the owner of the hostel, and Mohamed, the manager of Mega Adventures, we were convinced that they were the perfect people to trust and to arrange our big adventures with them. Not only they devote their lives to offer the most wonderful experience ever, but also part of the benefits that they obtain are dedicated to Komboa organization, founded by Mandela. This was one of the main reasons to choose our trek and safari with them. Also, they gave us such confidence that we didn't even look for another option.

We started with the trek, and got the best possible guides ever, Mathey and Roy, probably two of the most experienced people at Kilimanjaro. The main guide, Mathey, has summited more than 400 times! They, and the rest of the team (cook and porters) took care of us as if we were family. Even if we couldn't have lunch or dinner all together, we enjoyed the interaction that we had with all the team. Thanks to them we achieved our goal with no problem! Initially we were shocked by the luxury at the mountain, that we were not expecting at all, like the amazingly elaborated food that we got every day.

After coming back from Kili, we started our 6-day safari (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro), with Ally as driver and guide, and Massawe as cook. If we thought that the food at Kili was good, we had no words to describe the cuisine of Massawe! He really has a talent! And Ally is a wonderful guide, and his skills driving are beyond expectations. Everything was perfectly organized! We had two walking safaris that were amazing, we enjoyed tea around a campfire in Tarangire, we camped in Lobo (an astonishing location at Serengeti), we saw the gnus crossing the Mara river in the border with Kenya, we saw hundreds of animals...it felt like a dream come true! Everything was just perfect and beautiful. And on top of this great experience, what I also took back home was the certainty that I have now good friends in Moshi (Mandela, Silvia, Mohamed, Ally...) that I'm looking forward to seeing again!

Mega safari with Megaadventures
5/5

We had a great time with Megaadventures, since they managed to plan for us a special and adventurous safari as we had dreamed about and asked for. The experiences we lived are unique and most of tourists we met there could never image what they lost choosing another agency for their safari (e.g. walking safaris for hours, tents in the middle of nowhere with wild animals going around)! And Ally was the best guide & driver ever!!
Ps. Delicious food with our chef Masawe!!

Machame 7 Day Kilimanjaro Trek
5/5

We had a fantastic experience climbing Kilimanjaro with Mega Adventures. We turned up in Moshi unsure of which tour company to use, and the owner of the Kilimanjaro Grand Hostel (Mandela) sorted it all out and we left the next day. The equipment they use is top notch and was either near or brand new. The food was incredible and they catered for both me (flexitarian) and my partner (vegetarian). The walking was tough but you're encouraged to go pole pole (slow). Our guides were great and very patient with my super pole pole pace. Our assistant guide, Ramadan, carried my bag without complain when I was tired. All of the staff were welcoming and just plain lovely. Special shout out to our assistant chef Izack, who was wonderful (and will be an amazing guide next year). We can't thank Mega Adventures enough for the adventure of a lifetime and a huge highlight of our holiday.

Unforgettable and unique experience
5/5

hen we booked the safari we could have never thought it would have been such well organized: Mega Adventures planned for us unique experiences (sunrises in the middle of nowhere, two walking safaris, wonderful campsites, etc) and we didn't see any other tourists doing them...that made us feel really special and that is why we strongly advise you to choose Mega for your safari.
Our guide Ally was absolutely fabulous as guide and driver: he knows everything about paths, nature, animals and everything we wanted to know...and he tried (and managed) to create for us a magic athmosphere wherever we were, looking for secret places where most of tourists don't go.
Campsites were very nice, with amazing landscapes and meals were so good thanks to our chef Massawe.
Choosing Mega Adventures was the best choice we could ever have done!!!

Climbing Kilimanjaro and visiting Ngorongoro - just awesome!
5/5

Overall the communication must be described as quick and easy. Before, during and after the tours you experience a professional but easy going team that takes care of you no matter what is needed. Furthermore the quality of the provided gears as well as the food(!!!), especially on the trek, is extraordinary. These guys are completely recommendable!

Awesome experience
5/5

Very friendly and competent guide & cook. Good food, guide knows what he's talking about. You'll have to be robust enough if you book the tent-version of the safari, but with a reasonable extra charge you could also book the more luxurious version.

Best service in all of Tanzania, and that means something!
5/5

We met Mega Adventures' owner through the 'Kilimanjaro Grand Hostel', which is a great place to stay in Moshi by the way! Back to Mohammed Atik a.k.a. Dodoo. We stayed in Moshi for 3 weeks and during that period Dodoo helped us to see Tanzania's most beautiful hotspots. We booked a three-day safari trip, six-day Machame-route Kilimanjaro climb and one-day self-drive with Mega Adventures. All were amazing experiences, Dodoo took all time needed to make us feel comfortable and showed his patience even after trying more than 10 pair of shoes and still haven't find to right one.

Everything was arranged perfectly and the service Mega Adventures provides is astonishing. Also we spoke to more of the safari guides and they seemed to be just the guys to get you to spot everything you want!

I really recommend Mega Adventures to everyone willing to see the best of Tanzania!
