Amazing trip!! Friendly private safari❤️
A few months have passed, and I am still immersed in a happy and wonderful safari trip, with beautiful grasslands, lazy lions, and clever zebras... I am very grateful to the enthusiastic Marko, who planned based on my needs and patiently answered my questions. On the day of the safari, he also gave us perfect solutions for our temporary changes in accommodation needs. During the 4-day trip, the accommodations were great, the vehicles were great, and our guide David was the best, he was the best in the Serengeti. Every time he took us to the best place to see the animals. He was so experienced that he could even smell lions in the air and lead us to look for them along the way. There is also a nice sense of ritual. At the rest stop, other people's lunches are boxed fast food, but we enjoy our lunch with fresh food, red tablecloths, wine glasses, and the envious eyes of other passengers ~ Thank you David. When we return to China, we often share with friends everything we have seen in Tanzania. I love it so much!! Miss it!!! I hope to return to the Serengeti. For new travelers, you must choose African Traces for safari!!! you will not regret it!
Unforgettable Kilimanjaro climb via the 6-day Machame route
I’m glad I chose African traces for my Kilimanjaro climb via the 6-day Machame route. Marko, the owner, was very responsive throughout the planning phase and made modifications up until the last moments to make sure all my expectations were met. In all, I couldn’t have asked for a better crew of people to help me reach the summit. The porters were simply incredible—making sure camp was meticulously set up before my arrival everyday. It was impossible to go hungry with the endless array of food and the many memorable soups prepared by the chef. My guide was knowledgeable and worked well with the rest of the crew. He even helped carry my daypack when i struggled on summit day, which made all the difference. In addition to receiving my tips, it was great to witness all the members of the team get their salaries during the giving ceremony. I had read stories prior to my trip about the exploitative practices of some of the tour companies, and was happy to know I chose a company that valued the efforts of the amazing crew. If I ever make it back for another Kilimanjaro climb or safari trip or Zanzibar beach vacation, I will definitely be using African Traces. Thank you for getting me to the top and back. Asante sana.

Really good and wonderful experience with African Traces.
Our safari was a 5-day trip. Marko helped us arranged it. Marko is really responsible and every time reply to me with a fast speed. Even helped us to get the SIM card. William was our guide, he is really gentle, friendly, and kind. He knows every detail of the animals, the culture and the traditions. He was taking care of us every time and he is really cared for everyone. Besides, William’s driving skill is perfect. We spent a wonderful time with African traces. We saw all the animals we want to see. My father even said he wanted yo stay in Tanzania for a longer time. We will definitely introduce our trip to the friends.

Unforgettable Travel
After comparing several suppliers and selecting a company from Marko, we communicated in detail about the itinerary and printed a copy to carry with me before going. This kilomanjaro trip was really unforgettable. The professional guide team arranged by Mark showed great care and attention to me throughout the entire process, which also reflected their professionalism. The various beautiful scenery seen during the mountaineering, as well as the infinite joy of standing on the mountaintop, may only be experienced after experiencing it
Mark is very responsible and even came down the mountain to celebrate together. I was very happy. Later days We also communicated and made arrangements in advance to make it Make it interesting。

A professional and customer-centered local tour company, you worth it.
African Traces was introduced to us by a friend from a social platform when we had a sudden idea to climb the Mount Kilimanjaro. After inquiring several different agencies including both Chinese and local ones in terms of price and professional services, we made a quick decision on following African Traces. Meanwhile, the more we got in touch with its boss Marko Mtui, the more touched and warms we felt on this nice man, a faithful Christian and considerative & experienced African tourist services provider.
The trekking guiding team, including guides, a cook and porters and all equipments from African Traces are all perfect and highly qualified. The team members are plain, capable and warmhearted. Thanks to their helps, we finally stood on the top of the African lands and enjoyed that attactive and splendid view, sunrise, clouds sea, glaciers, the power of nature, the spirits of brave and persistancy, so on and so forth.
Special thanks to our guide Kenny (spelt based on the pronounciation) who accompanied us the most, sharing 6-day memorable tortuous but happy journey, we talked about different lifes and hobbies, listened to each other's music lists, and encouraged a lot.
Hope African Traces continue to be a good and even the top tourist agency in Kilimanjaro, in Tazania, in East Africa to serve more and more clients from all over the world with its upmost sincere and quality. Hope people there live a better life. Hope Kenny achieve his goals. Hope everyone who climbs Kilimanjaro find and get what you want.

Wonderful, easy, knowledgeable, and fun!
Just did a one day safari to Tarangire Park with Marko and it was amazing. We saw zebras, lions, elephant, ostriches, and more. Marko knew exactly where to go in the park to spot each animal and provided a wealth of information about each group- mating, social hierarchy, feeding etc. He definitely has years of experience and knowledge to share. He also made it an easy trip with great lunch and easy booking. Great group to go with and most importantly they are from Moshi/Tanzania so supporting the locals.
Responsible, professional and with a great price
Marco was very helpful and available throughout the process of planning the trip and during the trip. The guide we had was very professional and answered any request we had with a great attitude. We have had an amazing experience and I highly recommend African Traces

Great safari and hiking
We did the Meru trail and a 5-day safari with African Traces and we really recommend them. Marco and the whole team were so nice and professional. Everything was organized, scheduled and thoughtful through every step. Daniel our safari driver was so knowledgeable and nice, he knew exactly where the good spots are. The Meru staff were amazing, caring and supportive. Ombeni the guide was so helpful, encouraging, and thanks to him we reached the peak.

Great Safari with African Traces!!
We contact Marko Mtui from African Traces about a month and a half before our trip to Tanzania in order to book ourself a safari trip. Marko was very communicative and answered all our questions and wonderings.
We checked a few Safari operators in Tanzania and decided to go with African Traces (which had the best "value for money" proposal and a lot of great reviews), and we couldn't choose better!
From the moment we land in the Kilimanjaro airport Marko and his team helped us in everything we needed - took us to ATM whenever we needed, helped us get ourselves a local Sim, arrange great day trips and book us the accommodation in Moshi (in a lower price than we saw online).
We went on a 6 days safari trip which was tailored made to our preferences and the sighting we wish to see (and we saw!!). The Safari was an amazing experience and meet all our expectations and more.
All 6 days were well organized and everything worked according to the plan we had, we got to visit 4 national parks and saw a wide variety of animals.
the accommodations were great and were chosen to meet our budget, the vehicle was in great shape, spacious and well equipment.
While we were in the Safari Marko kept in touch with us and made sure everything is ok.
Daniel, our guide, was very knowledgeable and we were constantly amazed by the amount of knowledge he has about the wildlife.
Daniel is great with spotting wildlife and forecasting the scenario, which lead us to view some amazing sightings. We were very pleased to have him as our guide, and he was constantly interested in what we would like to see and accommodate the Game Drive accordingly.
We were also lucky to see the great migration while the herds of wildebeest crossed the Mara river (more than once!!) and it was a lot thanks to Daniel's patience and familiarity of the place.
I highly recommend using African Traces as your Safari operator.
You won't regret it!
