Fantasti
We did Kilimanjaro over 6 days via Marangu route with Steven's company.
Everything exceeded expectations, from the moment Steven picked us up at the airport until he said goodbye on our final day. Accomadation was great, guides,chef and porters were a brilliant team,funny and talkative.
Steven is a great guy who is fluent in English and always reachable by phone. Even contacted us on Kilimanjaro to make sure everything was going to plan. At short notice Steven changed our hotel to one closer to the airport at our request l.Couldnt recommend his company more. Would definitely use this company again

A safari planned by the family you didn’t know you had in Tanzania
From months before I arrived, Stephen wrote asking me exactly what I was looking for to make the dream vacation with my 11 and 14 year old kids. By the time he got me at the airport, I felt like I was meeting an old friend. He made so much time to take us to local restaurants and shopping outside of the safari so we could truly experience Arusha too. The safari itself is what I wanted - more rustic with us using tents and staying at small family-owned locations. The chef cooked great meals using ingredients all bought from the local markets. The driver was unreal in his ability to handle roads and driving conditions that I know there is zero chance I could have done! We saw all of the animals we wanted - I don't get why people would not come towards the end of the rainy season when all of the babies are still with their parents. Going to multiple parks allowed us to see so many animals in different habitats. It is difficult to explain just how different it is seeing even the same animals inside the crater verses crossing the street in the Serengeti. Having an experienced driver is crucial because in addition to how freaking scary the roads, the guide can spot animals way in advance. There are a lot of options for tours but what I got with this one was an owner who genuinely cared to make my experience personal to make my dream come true. It was the little extra things Stephen did that I do not think a large company would ever do and that made a difference.

Trip of a Lifetime!!!!!!!!!!
It is difficult to capture in words what an incredible experience we had with Stephen and Adventure Makers Tanzania. Prior to arriving, I knew I was in good hands. Stephen went out of his way to create a tailor-made vacation for my boys - ages 14 and 18 - and I. We landed on a six-day Safari - Arusha National Park, Tarengerie, Ngorongoro Crater, Central Serengeti and Manyara National Park - followed by 4 nights in Zanzibar. Every single aspect of our vacation was wonderful. And the best part - by far - was Stephen.
Stephen is warm, engaging, fun and he truly cares. Our luggage was "misplaced" by the airlines and Stephen went out of his way to assist us. He and my boys also totally hit it off and by the end of Safari, we truly felt like Stephen was a member of our family.
As for safari, all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!! The parks and lodges chosen by Stephen, coupled with the abundance in wildlife, exceeded all of our expectations.
If you are considering safari, please do not book with anyone else!!
STEPHEN BEST TOUR OPERATOR - WONDERFUL, AMAZING AND CRAZY TOUR
I did seven days (five days on safari and two days seeing the Masaai, Datoga and Handzabe tribes).
It was wonderful.
Stephen is a wonderful guy, outstanding, friendly, helpful, welcoming and smiling; I wouldn't know what to say negative about him.
He assists you in everything and helps you with all your problems.
Even at the end of the week with him, he took me to change money, to get my bus ticket and took me to another hostel, going a long way to accompany me; he treated me very well and with his team of guys he gave me exceptional and unique experiences of local life and local traditions, not the usual tourist experiences.
I had a really good time.
In fact, as soon as I arrived at the hostel where he took me, I asked him if he could give me a tour of the waterfalls and springs and he said yes (no problem), always putting you at ease.
Super good and great person, he acted like a brother to me.
I recommend everyone to have an experience with Stephen from Adventure Makers.

Awsome
Awsome. Unforgetable. …… the organisation was excellent, everything went smoothly without any problems. They picked us at the airport and the first thing we saw was a really BIG SMILE on Stevens face- you cant beat that smile. The guide Joseph on the safari was super nice and had great knowledge of the area so we saw everything possible. Too many things to describe , but there are not enough words. And the food was amazing. Highly recommend .it. It is a good value for money

Excelent organized safari trip with a lot of excitements
Best safari ever. Steven and his team organized everything in details upfront, very responsive on our e- mails. Pick up from Kili international, took us to the hot springs, organized a nice meal there. Next 5 days we went to safari, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro. Again everything spot on. Food amazing, sleeping in tents in public camps. Guide Joseph found many interesting things, we only missed rhino, but you always need to leave something for the next visit. Good job guys!!!

The best experience ever
We booked our trip to Arusha way ahead. Steven was very helpful and really easy to cumunicate. We talked about our expectations and he organised everything according to this. He arrenged the pick up from the airport and on the way to Arusha we stopped at the hotsprings (we really loved it - streatching our bodies in hot water in beautiful sourounding and followed by a really good lunch). I highly recomend it. He arranged the accomodation for us as well - great place, really nice people, great beds!
We took a 5 days safari - Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. That was just the best experience ever. It is hard to write how good it was and how many animals we have seen. The cheetas with babies, lions, serval, huge herds of zebras, wild beasts, buffalos, we even saw a leopard.... The organisation was perfect, the guide was amazing ( no words are enough)... it was a perfect safari experience even for people who did not go for a safari for the first time.

It was amazing.
I lack poetic gift, that would allow me to explain this experience in words. It was amazing. Very good communication months before we arrived and flawless organisation, beginning with airport pickup and ending with a drop off, everything was taken care of. And what is really important, the guide was very experienced with a lot of knowledge, so we saw sights that we never thought were possible to see in a real life. It was like being in a documentary, the only thing missing was David Attenborough's voice:) I would go again and again and again. Thank you Steven and thank you Joseph!
