Kenya and Tanzania with Jaribu Africa
Hey everyone! Just got back from an amazing 10-day trip to Kenya and Tanzania with my husband, and I have to tell you about Jaribu Africa. They really made our trip special.
Right from the start, they were great. Joseph sent us a questionnaire to find out what we liked, and then put together a draft itinerary. The final plan was a super detailed PDF with everything we needed to know. They even gave us a packing list! That was so useful.
Our first stop was Kenya. We had Kamau as our guide in Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. He knew so much about the place! He was also really patient and helpful, answering all our questions. We had a great time with him.
Then, we went to Tanzania. We crossed the border on January 10th and were in the Serengeti by the 11th! Even though we didn't have much time, Jaribu Africa did it perfectly. Joseph was even in touch with us on WhatsApp during the trip, answering our questions.
In Tanzania, Jacob was our guide for the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire. He was fantastic! He knew all about the animals and was really easy to talk to. We learned so much from him in just a few days. He even arranged a nice picnic lunch for us in the Serengeti. It was a really nice touch.
Overall, we had a wonderful time. Jaribu Africa's planning and their guides made the whole trip smooth and fun. We've already told our friends about them! If you are thinking about going to Kenya or Tanzania, I would really recommend contacting them.

Second travel with Jaribu Africa
Our second safari with Jaribu Africa was just as perfect as the first! Back in 2018, we explored Serengeti, and this time, we added Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru to the mix. Joseph, our go-to guy, made everything smooth as always—helpful, quick to respond, and super organized.
One moment that stuck with me happened in Amboseli. Our guide spotted a lioness crouching in the tall grass. She was watching a herd of zebra near a watering hole. We held our breath as she slowly crept closer, but just as she was about to pounce, a baboon let out a loud bark, warning the others. The zebras bolted, and the lioness sat up, looking both defeated and annoyed. Even though there was no hunt, the sheer tension of the moment was unforgettable.
Every part of the trip was like this—full of surprises and perfect planning. We’re already chatting with Joseph about where to go in 2026. Can’t wait to see what’s next!

Exceptional team for an amazing Kilimanjaro adventure
Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro through the Lemosho route was an unforgettable journey. Our group of ten faced challenges, especially when I fell ill early on. However, our guides, Goodluck and Stephen, provided exceptional support, ensuring we all continued without issues. Their assistance was invaluable.
Goodluck's extensive knowledge of the surroundings enriched our experience, making the trek both educational and enjoyable. The entire crew, including the porters, were wonderful companions throughout the trip.
Our accommodations were comfortable; we shared spacious three-person tents between two hikers, providing ample room. The large mess tent with good chairs offered a pleasant dining environment. We even had a clean portable flush toilet, which felt like a luxury in the wilderness—almost like having a royal throne amidst nature!
Thanks to Joseph, the owner of Jaribu Africa, who organized the entire trip seamlessly. We were thrilled to have all ten of us reach Uhuru Peak and then descend to Millennium Camp for a well-deserved rest.
I look forward to another opportunity to travel with this exceptional team. Thank you all for an amazing experience!

Unforgettable 10 days tour to Tanzania
Our group of nine had an unforgettable 10-day tour of Tanzania with Jaribu Africa this September. The absolute highlight of our trip was the time we spent exploring Serengeti National Park on game drives. Every moment out on the plains with our fantastic guides, Julius and Jacob, felt like a dream come true. Their expertise and passion for the wildlife made every outing special.
From the moment we landed, Jaribu Africa had everything perfectly arranged. The lodges we stayed in were spotless and cozy, with delicious food to look forward to after our adventures each day. Even before our trip began, we were impressed with how quickly and thoroughly the team answered all our questions, which gave us confidence in their services right away.
If you share a love for Africa, I highly recommend Jaribu Africa. They’re the perfect team to help you experience amazing wildlife and connect with the local culture. With them, you’ll be in great hands to create your own incredible journey.

Another memorable safari with Jaribu Africa Adventures
Our family of five, including our three children, recently had another unforgettable safari with Jaribu Africa Adventures, and it was truly special! Joseph, who planned every detail, made sure our experience was smooth and exactly what we hoped for. From the start in Arusha, where we stayed at the welcoming Gran Melia hotel in Arusha, to the peaceful beauty of Neptune Ngorongoro Luxury Lodge, every stop felt like the perfect fit for our adventure. When we reached the famous Melia Serengeti Lodge, it felt like stepping into the middle of nature, surrounded by incredible wildlife and breathtaking views.
Our safari guide, Julius, was a highlight of the trip. His knowledge of the animals and landscapes made every game drive exciting and educational. He was always on time, kind, and attentive to our family’s needs, making us feel well taken care of. The safari vehicle was spotless and in excellent condition, which made traveling through the wild both comfortable and safe. We could relax and enjoy the sights of lions, zebras, and elephants without worrying about anything else.
What stood out the most was the ease of the entire trip. Joseph and his team took care of everything, so all we had to do was enjoy. Watching our kids' faces light up as they spotted their favorite animals and sharing quiet moments together under the wide African skies made this trip unforgettable. If you're looking for a safari that combines great planning, beautiful stays, and incredible wildlife, Jaribu Africa Adventures is a fantastic choice!

The incredible 10-day safari to Kenya and Tanzania
Planning a safari for six can be a real headache, but from the first email to Joseph at Jaribu Africa, we knew we were in good hands. We had a lot of questions, and he patiently answered them all, helping us craft the perfect 10-day itinerary. We wanted to see the best of Kenya and Tanzania, and Joseph made it happen. Our adventure started after landing at Nairobi's JKIA, where we were picked up and whisked away to Amboseli. The sight of elephants with Kilimanjaro as a backdrop was breathtaking. Then it was on to the Maasai Mara, where we witnessed incredible wildlife encounters, including thrilling hunts and playful cubs.
Crossing the border into Tanzania felt seamless, thanks to Jaribu Africa's careful planning. The Serengeti lived up to its reputation, offering endless plains teeming with life. The Ngorongoro Crater was a highlight, a stunning natural amphitheater filled with diverse wildlife. We even saw rare black rhinos! Our final stop was Tarangire, known for its large elephant herds and iconic baobab trees. Each park had its own unique charm, and the variety kept everyone in our group, from the youngest to the oldest, constantly amazed.
The entire trip was incredibly smooth, with comfortable accommodations and excellent guides who shared their knowledge and passion for the wildlife. From start to finish, Jaribu Africa took care of every detail, allowing us to relax and enjoy the experience. Flying out of Kilimanjaro Airport (JRO) felt like the perfect ending to an unforgettable family adventure. We highly recommend Jaribu Africa, and especially Joseph, for anyone looking to create a truly special safari experience.

First time climbing Kilimanjaro
This was our first time climbing Kilimanjaro, and honestly, our first real trekking experience, so we were a little nervous! But Jaribu Africa made the whole thing absolutely fantastic, from beginning to end. We hit a snag with our flights—they had to be changed at the last minute due to some airport issues—and Joseph was incredibly helpful and understanding, sorting everything out for us. It took a huge weight off our minds.
When we arrived at Kilimanjaro International Airport, we were met right away and taken to the Gran Melia hotel. The staff there were so welcoming, and the next day we had a full briefing about our itinerary. This was brilliant, as it really put us at ease and helped us get excited about the adventure ahead.
We chose the 8-day Lemosho route, and it was just our group of ten, along with the guides and porters. Our guides, Mathew and Stephen, were simply amazing. They truly made the trip unforgettable. Each evening, they’d sit down with us and explain exactly what we could expect the next day, which was really reassuring. They were so attentive and helpful throughout the entire trek. Being first-timers on Kilimanjaro, we had a ton of questions (probably more than they’re used to!), but they answered every single one thoroughly and patiently. We felt so lucky to have them; they were the perfect fit for our group.
The trek itself was incredible, and we can’t recommend the Lemosho route enough. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the hiking was so much fun.
We had such a positive experience that we’re already thinking about our next adventure! If you’re planning a Kilimanjaro hike, we wholeheartedly recommend Jaribu Africa. They were simply brilliant.

Amazing safari experience
I had an amazing safari experience in Tanzania with Jaribu Africa. We visited the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara, each place bringing its own magic.
In the Serengeti, we were surrounded by open plains full of wildlife— buzzing with wildebeest, lions, and zebras. The Ngorongoro Crater was like nothing I’ve ever seen, a huge natural bowl with animals everywhere you looked. Lake Manyara was quieter, with beautiful scenery, flamingos and a peaceful vibe that gave us a nice break.
What made the trip even better was the team at Jaribu Africa. The guides really knew their stuff, sharing interesting facts and answering our questions without making it feel like a lecture. They made sure everything ran smoothly, from meals to transport, so we could just relax and enjoy the journey. It was clear they really cared about the wildlife and the environment.
This safari left me with memories I’ll never forget. I’d absolutely recommend Jaribu Africa to anyone wanting a real taste of Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes.

What an incredible three-day safari adventure!
Three days in Tanzania's Northern Safari Circuit felt like a lifetime of adventure! Tarangire, with its colossal baobab trees and elephant herds that stretched as far as the eye could see, was breathtaking. I'll never forget the sheer scale of it all.
Lake Manyara was a completely different vibe – flamingos galore, and the cheeky monkeys were absolute characters! They even tried to steal my sunglasses (I won, thankfully!). Then came the Ngorongoro Crater... wow. Words really fail me. The density of wildlife down there was incredible – lions lounging, rhinos grazing, and a family of elephants just casually strolling by.
The whole experience was expertly guided, the accommodations were comfortable, and the food was surprisingly delicious. If you're looking for an unforgettable safari, this is it. Just be prepared for some early mornings – worth it, though!

Amazing 5-Day Safari with Jaribu Africa Adventures!
We went on a 5-day safari with Jaribu Africa Adventures, experiencing the breathtaking vistas of Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti. Everything was well organized from the start, and our driver guides Julius and Richard were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the wildlife and the parks.
Each day felt like an adventure, whether we were watching elephants roam Tarangire, spotting lions in Serengeti, or soaking in the breathtaking views of Ngorongoro. The team made sure we were comfortable throughout, and the whole experience felt personalized and relaxed.
If you're looking for an unforgettable safari in Tanzania, I can’t recommend Jaribu Africa Adventures enough. They truly made this trip special!
