Reliable, on time and great service
We booked a 4 day safari through Youth Adventures. They did good from the beginning to the end. Godfrey helped us arrange everything, made us a good price and was really service minded. We were in safari with two other young couples, which was a great and we had a blast. Our driver Abdul was great and even though our car broke down they fixed it, found a solution and did their best to give us the best experience. We will definitely use Youth Adventures again. They are reliable and on time, and a company like that can be hard to find! Very good!

I had a wonderful experience with Youth Adventure and Safari! Great trek! Amazing staff! :)
I heard about this tour company through a friend who had climbed Kilimanjaro and started emailing them with my questions regarding the trek. One of the owners (Godfrey) responded to all my questions promptly, picked us up at the airport and drove us to the base to start our trek (yes, we wanted to start as soon as we landed to save time). We did the 6 day/5 night Machame route and throughout our 6 days the guides were very attentive and caring. They ensured we ate and drank lots so we have energy for the summit ( some people start losing appetite when they get higher) and briefed us on what to wear and bring in our packs the night before. The cook made us hot food and we even get snacks to munch on on our way up. The porters we had were all very polite, they were always the last ones to hike (after packing up our tents) but the first to arrive and have our tents, mattresses and bags set out for us when we arrive at the next campsite. With all the supportive staff, my friend and I made it to the summit! :) The other owner (Daniel) picked us up after our trek, drove us to our hotel and then to the airport the following day. We have been taken care of from the day we got out of the airport until the day we return home. I have traveled to over 40 countries and have joined many tours, I think the owners of Youth Adventure & Safaris really added the extra touch to make tourists feel welcome and cared for. Thank you very much!! We had a superb time! :))

Perfect trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro
The Safari was well organized - from the pick up at the Airport until the drop off in the residence. The guide was well experienced, very friendly and willing to tell us a lot of background information about the animals and the surrounding. He also leaded us successfully to watch a great variety of wild animals. Even in heavy rain showers we found good spots for observations. Meals have been good and the cook was delighted to get driven by a masungo :-). Due to park regulations it was not possible to provide this service more often :-(. The 4 wheel drive was very ok. All together a great vacation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9WChSO-qug

Youth Adventures and Safaris: Kilimajaro - Safari - Beach
My friend and I did a 2 ½ weeks travel of extremes to Tanzania: extreme bodyworkout, extreme amount of animals, extreme paradise and extremely nice people. What else do you search in live.
We started our adventure with Youth Adventures and Safaris – the best agency in Tanzania- I would warmly recommend to contact them in order to help you organize your trip. They were very responsive and informative when planning the trip and offered a great package with best services and fair prices. Godfrey is a great young guy - being the face and personality behind the company. We enjoyed his high professionality big heart and great personality making us feel welcome and home from the first second on.
We first started with our Kilimanjaro climb; challenging our physical and mental capacities. We decided on the 7 day Lemocho route. Before starting our mountain adventure we had an equipment check and briefing for our climb at Godfrey’s office in Moshi. We were surprised when a car with 12 men picked us up the next day. We had two guides (John and Anderson), a cook (great food), a toilet man (what a nice surprise), a waiter and 7 porters. The climb has been an amazing experience nobody should miss in their lives. The crew has been amazingly professional and great people helping us not only to reach Uhuru Peak!!! but also being the best company during this week – being supportive in every situation and being natural and positive on an interpersonal level too!
After our great success we went on a 4 day camping safari, visiting Tarangire National Part, Sernegeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We have seen a huge amount and variety of wild animals – including the big 5. We enjoyed the car drive, our group of amazing people and the unique landscape.
Just after that experience we decided to spend a couple of days at the beach too. The company Youth Adventures and Safaris has been very flexible and easy going and organized an amazing trip to the beach – to Pangani – the paradise beach – representing the luxury part of our trip.
We would like to thank Youth Adventures and Safaris – Godfrey and his team – for making our trip and experience not only unique and fascinating but also warm and personal!

Ngorongoro Crater
I went on safari with 4 friends to the Ngorongoro Crater with Godfrey's company and it was literally a flawless experience. As a more reasonably priced safari operator, you get real value for money. We paid the kind of sum you may expect for a cheap camping safari but instead we spent the night before the tour in a lovely little 'igloo' hut, received a three course meal and watched a Maasai acrobatics show. Our guide was a great guy, our vehicle was the newest, most comfortable and best equipped one in the Crater that day, our lunch was fantastic and we saw all the animals you may hope to see. Obviously that aspect was beyond the operator's control, but everything was perfect. I couldn't recommend Godfrey's firm Youth Adventures and Safaris any more highly as we were treated with great professionalism yet friendliness throughout the entire experience. There are lots of firms out there charging extortionate prices but we were a bunch of Cardiff Uni students and we found Godfrey's firm to fit within budget. 5*, 10/10, will be back soon!

Great jurney, excelent service
Our guide Shelia was incredible. We had amazing trip, Shelia was reliable, good driver, know the best spots in Serengeti, know a lot about animals and you can see that he loves his job.
Accommodation in 5-Day Majestic Safari in Serengeti (Tarangire- Serengeti- Ngorongoro) was excellent. Even in Serengeti we had tent with bed and shower in the middle of Serengeti, no fences, wildlife everywhere. Accommodation in Keratu (Elains) are one of the best, what we had in Kenya- big room, great dinner, hot water and comfortable bed.
We had in total 3 safaris with 3 different companies but Go Ahead Trip company was the best one.
