Amazing Trip with Great Guides, Food, and Planning
Our trip to Tanzania was truly amazing, all thanks to Jaribu Africa Adventures!
We had time to explore the towns on our own, but never had to worry about transport or timing. Everything was perfectly organized by the team, special thanks to Joseph for handling all the logistics so smoothly! We were picked up and dropped off at the airports in very comfortable vans, which made us feel safe, relaxed, and always on schedule.
The guides were fantastic too! Julius, our guide in the Serengeti, was especially great—funny, friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. He really made the safari special for us.
The Serengeti was absolutely breathtaking, just like we imagined and even better! What surprised us the most was how everything else also exceeded our expectations: the wildlife game drives were thrilling, the food was delicious, the views were stunning, and the hospitality was warm and welcoming. All these little touches made the trip unforgettable.
We also loved the lodges they recommended in Arusha, Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti, they were all perfect for our family. Big thanks again to Joseph and the whole team. We had such a great time and will always remember this adventure!

Our special trip with Jaribu Africa
We had an amazing trip with Jaribu Africa! First, we climbed Kilimanjaro for 8 days using the Lemosho route. Our guides, Manase and Ayumwe, were fantastic. They knew everything about the mountain and helped us reach the top. The food was great, even though we're vegetarian. The people who carried our things were also very kind.
Then, we went on a 5-day safari to see animals in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. Our guide, Julius, was the best! He helped us see lots of animals, including the Big 5. He knew where to find them. He also taught us a lot about the wildlife. The places we stayed were beautiful, and the food and drinks were delicious.
Jaribu Africa made our trip special. If you want to climb Kilimanjaro and see amazing animals in Tanzania, they are a great choice!

Our dream Tanzanian safari – again
We went on safari with Jaribu Africa again, and wow! They really know how to make a trip special. We saw amazing things in Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and the Serengeti – like tons of animals and beautiful views. Joseph and the team made everything easy, even when we changed our plans. Our guides, Julius and Emmanuel, were fantastic! They knew so much about the animals and made our trip super fun. If you want a great safari in Tanzania, go with Jaribu Africa. We can't wait to go back!

Jaribu safari was Excellent!
My family and I (total of 4 people) went on a 6 day safari and we had a vehicle all to ourselves. The top came up and we could take photos of the wildlife and stretch our legs. The acomodations that Jaribu recommended were excellent (medium price range) and included both super large standup tents with flush toilets/showers and a couple lodges. Lunches were boxed from the "hotels" the morning we left and were good.
We saw all the famous animals including: black rhinos, cheetah (saw 8 of these), leopard (hard to find, but we did see one), and tons of giraffes, elephants, hippos, zebra, wildabeast etc.. Everything you could hope for. It would be reasonable to do a shorter 3 or 4 day safari and see most of the animals. We went to 4 parks and ended in the Sarengetti. Although we went in January which is the wet season, it was great because there were less people/tourists and we still saw ALL the animals they see in the busier dry season. I highly recommend the safari with Jaribu - our driver/guide was very knowledgeable and we saw animals others did not see or could not find.

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.
