Alpine Chat Adventure is a great company with excellent service and communication
5/5

Alpine Chat Adventure was my tour operator for safari and kilimanjaro climb.
I did one day safari to the Tarangire national park.

Guide for the day was Mr. Abraham and he went beyond my expectations in terms of everything.

I was the only person in the jeep who didn't speak Swahili, but my guide was talking and explaining everything on English and made sure I understand all the bits and pieces he was talking about in our trip.

He knew everything abut flora and fauna.

Every animal we saw, he turned off the vehicle and started explaining all facts about the animal, from food animal eats, from common other animals they are friendly with to fun and interesting facts as well.

Service from tour operator to the tour guide was amazing. I was even dropped in shopping to buy few souvenirs when we came back to Moshi.

I saw lions, giraffes, zebras, elephants and many more animals so I don't count them all here.

100% reliable and trustworthy

Would recommend to anyone that is going to Moshi.

I would recommend longer safari, I sadly didn't have enough time to do at least 4 days of safari.

I'd choose Alpine Chat Adventure every time!

Friendly, willing to think along, fun, organized, relaxed
5/5

Alpine arranged our 4 day safari. We booked only shortly in advance. Erick was able to meet with all our requests. We had a very kind, fun and relax guide; Savio. If you have a change, he for sure will make your trip extra nice.
The car we drove was spacious, able to open the roof and all the accommodations were very pretty.

After the trip Erick helped us with some other activities as well. If you need a friend and helping hand in Tanzania, Erick and Savio are great to have on your side.

Thanks a lot :)

Alpine Chat is trustworthy, personal and provides the real Tanzanian experience!
5/5

I can really recommend Alpine Chat. They have a very personal approach; Erik travelled 3 hours just to welcome us and discuss the program. They take good care and are personally motivated to ensure that their customers are safe and happy. Also, they are very flexible and easy in communication. Thanks to Alpine Chat we had an amazing experience. Many thanks!

The supervision of the chief guide and the professionalism of the entire team meant that my wife and I were able to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in the best conditions.

Me and my friend took a trip to climb Kilimandjaro with these guys. We are extremely pleased with the experience they delivered. Everything was very well organized. The food was great.

We had the best Kilimanjaro experience ever - thanks to Alpine Chat Adventure
5/5

We thought long and hard about which tour operator we would like to use for our Kilimanjaro climb. After extensive searching on the internet, we decided on Alpine Chat Adventure. A local tour provider in Moshi. From the beginning, the exchange was very straightforward, professional and quick. Erick (the owner of the company) was responsive to all our requests. Then on site everything worked out great! From the pick up at the airport, the professional briefing before the climb, the nice lodge before and after the climb and of course the Kilimanjaro climb via the Marangu route itself. We had the best two guides with us that you could wish for. The whole team that accompanied us (porters, chef, etc.) was incredibly supportive and friendly. Thanks to their help we made it to the summit. So we can highly recommend Alpine Chat Adventure! Thanks to them, we will always remember our successful Kilimanjaro climb. The whole tour was just super organized and we didn't have to worry about anything and could fully concentrate on the hike. Thank you for everything Alpine Chat Adventure. We will book through you again!

PS: After the Kilimanjaro hike we booked a 3 day safari also through Alpine Chat Adventure. That speaks for itself, right? :) We have visited Tarangire NP, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara NP. Again, everything worked out great and it was an unique experience!

Amazing Tanzania safari
5/5

Beyond expectations! We got an amazing guide Peter with which we had amazing conversation, all accommodations were top notch, good food (would have liked to experience more of the local food maybe) and I’m happy to say we saw all the animals we wanted and then some. December is a good month to visit Tanzania. Thank you so much Erick for arrange our trip, we had a blast! We couldn’t have had a better experience! I highly recommend Alpine chat adventure.

Extremely Organized, Warm and Clear on getting your goals met
5/5

Alpine Chat gave us the experience that we could not imagine. Erick and his entire team were so organized, warm and always full of positive enforcement. The communication was impeccable. Right from Erick, the guides and even some of the porters were very fluent in English and were always willing to help. Smaller companies like Alpine Chat pay attention to every detail and you also get personal care and attention. Not only Alpine Chat was so efficient probably even better than most bigger operators, the value for the money is unbelievable. I have done ultra races in the desert organized by foreign tour operators who have such a big markup and they don't have the personal touch for two reasons. One they don't know the local language and are not able to respond to situations that come up quickly. Two not knowing the local culture makes them disadvantaged of not providing you the inner details of the area, about the mountain, about the animal habitats, the people, the tribes etc. These are the things along with the personal touch is what makes it interesting to go with Alpine chat. They are local Tanzanians, almost all of them born in Tanzania and know a lot of history. Nobody can beat that and you get to tap into that information as a bonus. A BIG add to this is Alpine Chat is significantly cheaper than the bigger tour operators plus you are also supporting the local Tanzanian company and citizens rather than some multi-national tour operator whose primary aim is to make money in all tourist locations. What blew my mind is that when I mentioned to Erick that I am a pure vegetarian and additionally don't like onions and garlic, his response to me was that it will not be a problem and his chef will arrange it. I was quite skeptical because getting vegetarian food even in America or Mexico where there are various cuisines is quite hard. But believe it or not, the vegetarian spread that I was given was so varied and delicious that I couldn't believe that Tanzanians could make such fabulous dishes. I actually started liking soups when until now I am not a soup person at all. The Chef was par excellence!! Meshak and Isaac the guides were so knowledgeable that our conversations as we were trekking were so interesting. We learnt so much about Tanzania, Mt Kilimanjaro, Mt Meru and other places. We learnt the actual name is Mt KiliMachiaro and since the british couldn't pronounce it ended up with the current name. Alpine Chat is a bird that lives all the way up at higher altitudes. A little about the Chagga tribe and other tribes. About the mystery as to how the cows ended up as wild cows at 4000M and so on. I can go on and on. Just one final thing I would say is that if you do plan to make a trip here whether to trek or to do the safari and other adventures offered by Alpine chat, you should definitely try them out. Not only it will be a good value for the money, you will be extremely happy with the experience. Namaste
