The most exciting and breath taking experience with the best guides one could ask for
It was all breathtaking. Some bumps on the way but all sorted out within minutes. Safari was amazing, best to go as early as possible, we managed to see all the animals except the leopards ( which are hard to see ) and we went all day and had a blast. Ibrahim, the founder of AfriShare was legendary and made sure that this trip was one that i will never forget

A great safari, well organised, superb guide, good accommodations and food, lots of animals to see.
The communication with the organizer was well functioning. We got picked up in time and was well taken care of by our guide. Our expectations were more than fulfilled. The guide was devoted to finding the animals, we got to see the big five and much more. Very nice lodges and an exciting experience to stay in the tented lodge in Serengeti. We can gladly recommend Afrishare Trekking and safaris.

Are you looking for an affordable, positive, and amazing safari experience? Check out Afrishare!!
My friends and I recently went on a three-day two-night safari through the Serengeti and Ngorogoro Crater with Afrishare. We were so happy with every aspect of our trip. We were picked up in Mwanza on-time and enjoyed a nice lunch near the west gate of The Serengeti. For the next two days, we saw every animal you would expect to see, ate amazing food and slept in a cozy tent in clean sleeping bags.
Our guide and driver, Freddy, was friendly and knowledgeable, and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him!!!
I would highly recommend Afrishare to anyone looking for an affordable, positive and amazing safari experience!!

Ibrahim is a good and responsible manager in organising the trip for us.
Our safari guide Fredy is an exceptional professional, well-mannered guide with eagle eyes to spot out animals for us. This tour operator agent is trustworthy,

A Magical Experience in Tanzania
I don't even know where to begin. This trip was amazing. From the ease of customizing and booking with Ibrahim, to the incredible conversations with our guide Haj, the awesome tent in the Serengeti, the wonderful food, and, oh yeah... the ANIMALS!!! It took us right until the end of our time in the Ngorongoro crater on the last day to complete the "Big 5," but we did indeed get to see the rhino!

Exceptional service beyond expectations
It’s tough choosing a tour operator for a once in a lifetime trip. I examined so many of these budget companies, trying to fight my way thru fake reviews and see the real picture. I chose afrishare since I felt most comfortable with Ibrahim. Unlike others, he wasn’t pushy, didn’t try to upsell me on anything, and just answered the questions I had. Fast responses and to the point. I felt comfortable paying the deposit on credit card and balance in cash on arrival.
I met Ibrahim the day before the safari for a briefing and everything went perfect. Haji was our tour guide and I can’t say enough good things about this guy. Professional, took real good care of us, always made sure we were comfortable, and happily answered all our questions and gave awesome little tidbits throughout the 6 day safari. The lodges we stayed at were WAY above my expections. The food was plentiful with breakfast, lunch box, and dinner.
Only downside is the state of the vehicle. It is old and needs some TLC. The roof leaks a bit on the passenger side during rain and we needed a push start from another vehicle a few times. Also, I can’t remember if the credit card deposit website was secure. Two weeks after paying my deposit, my credit card was compromised and had to be cancelled.
Overall, my experience with Afrishare met and exceeded my expectations and I would most definitely recommend them.
(One thing to note when booking with one of these tour companies is that everyone drives the same roads and sees the same animals. There are no secrets or places one company goes that another doesn’t. Everyone travels on the same roads, hence why you see 20 vehicles at the various animal sites).

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!
