Mt Meru with Memorable Vacation Africa/Evance
Memorable Vavation Africa, the agency of Evance, was just the right choice to do a Mt Meru trek. Evance had been highly recommended by a good friend who is an Africa expert, and everything he had said turned out right. Evance is very knowledgable and takes excellent care if his clients. He also has a great team. Guide Victor Manyanga was a good leader, keen to show us as much as possible, flexible to adapt to our needs and requests, and always thinking ahead. Our chef/cook was the best we have seen in many treks. He not only prepared delicious food, he als made sure that the setting was like in a top restaurant: make sure he stays on the team! The whole group including park ranger Manyasi were a fine team. They even did a very special good bye ceremony for us with African songs, and all of them insisted to come with us to the airport to say goodbye. Although we did not get to the very summit due to bad weather, the 3 of us had a most enjoyble 4 day trek.
Thank you, Evance!

Posted on Jan 18, 2025Dear Willi, Viki, and Sepp,
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We are delighted to hear that your Mt. Meru trek with Memorable Vacation Africa was enjoyable and memorable, even if the weather prevented you from reaching the summit.
Evance and the entire team, including guide Victor Manyanga, the talented chef, and park ranger Manyasi, are deeply grateful for your kind words. They strive to provide the best possible experience, and your appreciation of their efforts truly motivates and inspires them. It’s heartwarming to know that Victor’s leadership, the chef’s exceptional culinary skills, and the team’s thoughtfulness—including the farewell ceremony—made your trek extra special.
We are so glad that the recommendation from your friend turned out to be the right choice, and it was an honor to host you for this adventure. Should you ever wish to return for another trek or explore more of Africa’s wonders, we would be thrilled to welcome you back.
Thank you once again for choosing us and for taking the time to share your lovely feedback. Wishing you all the best on your future adventures!
Warm regards,
Evance.

Evance is honest and fair and has surrounded himself with like-minded people who love to hike!! 5/5
I was in Tanzania on a work trip and last second had 4 days available to trek Mt. Meru. I reached out to a few companies and Evance from Memorable Vacations Africa immediately sent me a message, inquiring about my travel plans and offering to help me plan the trip. He quickly sent me a detailed quote detailing the schedule and services.
My biggest issue was that I had not brought the correct gear to Tanzania - literally I didn't have a coat, rain gear, sleeping bag, hiking poles, thermals, headlamp and more. Evance's brother owns a hiking gear store and he told me that I could borrow whatever I needed for free.
While this saved me hundreds of dollars, I chose Memorable Vacations Africa because Evance was responsive, forthright, and simply gave off honest and good vibes in contrast to other tour companies I spoke with.
The trek itself was fantastic - Evance set me up with Oscar who has been leading Kilimanjaro and Meru treks since 2003 (!!) who had immense knowledge about local flora and fauna. He was an extremely experienced hiker did a gear check every morning and made sure my backpack was properly packed. Moodi and Laurence were the porter and cook and they were also fantastic.
I can't recommend Memorable Vacation's Africa more - Evance is honest and fair and has surrounded himself with like-minded people who love to hike and help others experience Tanzania.
For anyone considering trekking Meru, Kili, or anything else give Evance a call!!
