7 day Lemosho route Kilimanjaro climbing - Beautiful experience
From 10 to 16 December my grilfriend and I did a private climb with Afrishare. This was a very beautiful experience with a very nice, good and experienced mountain crew that got us both to Stella Point and Uhuru peak!
We had a difficult start because one of the backpacks, with all of the climbing gear, did not arrive on Kilimanjaro International Airport, but Ibrahim from Afrishare was very quick to arrange good rental gear so that the climb could go on. That was great!
The climb was professional arranged with a mountain crew of 11, good camping equipment, more than enough water, food and so on.
At some points we had an hard time with the long days walking and symptoms of alltitude sickness, but the 7 days were enough for altitude acclimatization and the Lemosho route was also very beautiful to see.
The mountain crew consisted of 1 guide, 1 assistant guide, 1 cook, 1 waiter and 7 porters. We could not wish for another crew because with the help from all of them we made it to the top because of the professional guides that very well know what they are doing (Adam and Alex, also loved spending time with them. They are fun, positively spirited and can tell you very much about the Kilimanjaro), the good food (Cosmos, great cook and much fun), the waiter (Eneza, how took great care of us) and of course all the others.
We are very glad that we did the climb with Afrishare, it was great value for money and we recommend it to everyone.
N.B. maybe usefully information. For the climb we bought almost all the gear, but in Moshi/from Afrishare it is possible to rent good gear for good prices so you don't have to buy all the gear.

NM_nams 1 Pending review BEST Experience Ever!! Highly Recommended!
Our trip with Afrishare safaris was incredible. From the moment both Ibrahim and Freddy met us at the airport to the day we had to say goodbye to our wonderful guide Freddy everything was amazing.
Our trip included 2 days in Tarangire National park, 4 days in the Serengeti, 1 day in the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi. We also did the Hot air balloon ride at Serengeti NP, visited Hadzabe and Datoga tribe. We loved every minute of our trip.
Our guide Freddy was extremely knowledgeable and I have no idea how he spotted all those animals without binoculars :)
He was friendly, courteous and he made sure that we were comfortable throughout the journey. He was always willing to accommodate whatever we wanted to do. Thanks to Freddy, we saw ALL of the BIG 5. He got us close ups of every animal you could want to see - Lions, Rhinos, Giraffe, Cheetah eating a meal, Leopard sleeping on tree, Zebra, Crocodile, Hippos and on and on, absolutely fantastic. He started off our guide and honestly, ended a friend!
We had a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend Afrishare and Freddy to anyone.
ASANTE SANA Afrishare, Ibrahim and Freddy for this lifetime experience :)

A photographers dream come true !
After an extensive online research we contacted couple of tour organizations and finally decided to go with Afrishare because of the competitive price. We had explicitly asked Ibrahim for Freddy to be our guide after reading up reviews and I think it was the best decision ever !
Our itinerary was 2 days at Tarangire (Tarangeri Safari Lodge), 3 days at Serengeti ( Tortillis tented Lodge), Ngorongoro Crater ( Serena Lodge), one evening at Tiloma Lodge and one evening at Lake Eyasi ( Ziwani Lodge).
Our guide Freddy would brief us about the upcoming trip every evening, be on time to pick us up (our car was cleaned up and ready for us every day). Since I am into photography , Freddy would wait patiently and park the landcruiser for me to get the perfect shot. I would like to highlight one fact that Freddy was very respectful of the animals and would never go off-road unlike some other guides. At one point while we were parked clicking pictures, a pair of lion and lioness decided to sit right under the shade of our landcruiser taking refuge from the scorching heat. Freddy handled the situation with extreme caution. It was an experience I can never forget.
During our long road trips Freddy would crack jokes , sing songs , let us know where we could take bathroom breaks, bought us some local fruits (must try the red banana's , mangoes), took us to local store for shopping local artifacts, taught us basic Swahili.... Freddy made our Safari trip a memorable one. Hands down to Freddy and Afrishare!
Ibrahim you have to send Freddy to USA :) , we want to meet him again!

WOW! Just wow!
This was a true, once in a lifetime experience for me. I don' think I could have possibly imagined a better way of experiencing Serengeti and Africa without Afrishare and our awesome guide Freddy.
We did Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Eyasi. Both Ibrahim and Feddy took care of us exceptionally well. Ibrahim gave us a very warm welcome at the Airport with Freddy and explained what to expect for the next several days. Before we even reach Africa he has done an exceptional job in making sure that we were comfortable and super accommodative of our varying dietary and lodging requests.
Freddy - our guide - made the trip even special by taking good care of us throughout the safari with briefings every morning, being a great spotter and super flexible to cater to our every whim. We had an amazing time spotting the big 5 and other wildlife and the landscape was just magical. He took great care in ensuring that our dietary needs are met, the vehicle is safe and clean before every day. He also introduced us to some awesome Tanzanian music which I will be listening to for rest of my life.
All in all, I couldn’t have thought of a better way of doing this trip, major shout out to Afrishare and Freddy!

Amazing Safari and a fantastic experience
We had once in a life experience thanks to Afrishare and Freddie.
We emailed a lot of safari companies along with Afrishare. Ibrahim was very responsive and he gave us a quote which was substantially lower than the others. We decided to visit Tarangire, Serengeti, hot air balloon in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and cultural visits. Ibrahim was very responsive and accommodated changes in schedule we asked for prior to booking. Based on previous reviews, we asked for Freddie to be our tour guide.
Upon arriving at the airport, Ibrahim and Freddie were there to welcome us and took us to our car. The safari vehicle was exactly as described and was nice and clean.
Freddie is an amazing tour guide. He is organized, funny, patient and last but not the least, an amazing animal spotter. Every evening he would give us a brief overview of next day’s schedule and activities. Because of him, we were able to see all of the big 5 animals.
The balloon safari in Serengeti was the highlight of the trip for me and would highly recommend to anyone who has the chance to do so.
I will highly recommend Afrishare and Freddie to my friends and anyone planning a safari in the future.

Perfect Safari Trip and a life time experience!
We were a group of 7 friends for our Tanzania trip. We had the perfect vacation thanks to Afrishare and Freddy.
Ibrahim was very responsive and offered us the itinerary that we wanted. Ibrahim and Freddy (our guide) came to airport and picked us up. Our trip included Tarangire, Serengeti , Hot air balloon ride at Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Eyasi. We also visited Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. Freddy would brief us about the morning trip every evening during dinner time. He was very punctual and too care of us like a big brother (Kaka in Swahili :) ). Freddy was a great animal spotter and made sure we saw the big 5 and more. He was really patient and gave us ample time to enjoy the beauty of surrounding and animals. He also took us to local stores for shopping.
Freddy was always communicating with other guides and made sure we reach the spots where something interesting was going on : we saw Cheetah Stalking an Impala, Sleeping Rhinos etc. He made sure the car was inspected after every trip, cleaned up the car, refilled water. We learned quite a bit about Tanzania from Freddy. He was the highlight of our trip, very friendly , funny, humble.
The trip was fantastic and I would totally recommend Afrishare + Freddy !

Can't wait to go again!
I had a wonderful life experience with Afrishare, it exceeded my expectations at every turn!
During the booking process, Ibrahim was always quick to respond, open to specific hotel requests and itinerary changes, while offering a very competitive price. I received quotes from more than a dozen safari operators before selecting Afrishare, and am so glad I did! Our itinerary included tarangire, serengeti with hot air balloon, crater, and lake eyasi with cultural visits to Hadzabe and Datoga tribes, starting and ending the trip at Arusha. Ibrahim patiently reconfirmed each point a week before the trip. It all flowed smoothly during the trip, an entirely hassle free experience with only wonderful surprises.
Both Ibrahim and Freddy were waiting for us as expected at airport arrivals. We then headed on with our guide Freddy. The landcruiser had all the features mentioned including pop up front roof, and was clean and comfortable. Freddy definitely made the trip a fantastic one. Very professional, gave clear directions and answers, and let us know what to expect everyday. Great attitude, very patient with our repeated questions and outrageous animal sighting requests

wonderful honeymoon
We started organizing for our July honeymoon in April, 3 months before our Safari. Ibrahim was very swift, and professional when choosing the best accommodation for our trip. We loved some of the accommodations especially the worrier room in Asanja Africa(Serengiti) and Nimali at Tarangire national park. Ibrahim was nice enough to make time to come and pick us up from the airport at Arusha. We then continued the trip with our driverHajj who was very helpful and experienced. We sighted Rhinos twice and saw Cheetas and lions feasting. He also drove us to west Serengeti where we witnessed thousands of Wild beasts migrating across the Grumeti river before then moving north to the Mara river to watch more migrations
Over all I think We planned the best trip possible and Afrishare exceeded expectations

Awesome safari in Serengeti!
The experience of a 5-day safari in Tanzania with Afrishare was absolutely amazing. Everything was organized by Ibrahim in a perfect way: transport, accommodations, meals, beverages. Our guide Haji was excellent in meeting all our needs during game drives! With his experience of more than 10 years in this job, he was able to drive us in the perfect locations and spot animals from far away; he explained us many things and curiosities about the different species we saw and he respected our requests for time while taking photos, being always very professional, serious, available but also nice and friendly. Thanks to his skills and patience we managed to see, besides many kind of animals, the “big five”, including two wonderful black rhinos! The vehicle was also comfortable and spacious for two people, the packed lunches were good and all dinners and breakfasts in the lodges and tented camps were simple but really tasty and genuine. We must say that our experience with Afrishare exceeded by far our expectations on a safari!

Wonderful four park, six day safari, big 5 and so much more
We just returned from a great safari/family reunion in Tanzania. Using two vehicles Afrishare took us to Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, staying in great lodging along the way. Our experienced guides/drivers Fred and Hadji managed to put us in front of an amazing variety of animals, including the big 5, and safely transport us from park to park. They were very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the parks, and the country in general. The entire family had an awesome experience.
