Mt Kilimanjaro Climb
Afrishare organised a 6-day climb to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro for a group of three friends. From the very first email enquiry, we were re-assured by their timely communication, helpful advice for packing, recommendations on the best route to take based on our skill levels.
Once on the ground, we were provided with a detailed audit of our trekking gear with advice and guidance from our two guides on how to approach the mountain (pole pole as they say in Swahili). We met the guides and a couple of the porters a couple of days before-hand and this helped to no end.
The trip itself was very well organised. The support provided on the trek itself was superb. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and skilled - providing advice, tips, identified birds, animals and plants along the way and shared stories of the history of the mountain and the surrounding countryside.
A lot of the porters spoke English and even those that didn't were happy to have a friendly chat.
The food was delicious and freshly made with our very own mess tent set up in advance at every camp site. Appetisers consisted of popcorn and ginger snaps which was *delightfully* welcome at more than 3000m above sea level. We were very well fed throughout with hearty soups, fresh food (fried chicken, toasties, fish fillets, rice, spaghetti) made all the more impressive because all the food had to be lugged up the mountain.
Ibrahim, Kija, Goodluck and the rest of the crew were a great set of people to travel with and we'd do this again in future.
They were very friendly and helped us around Moshi the day before
We, a group of 4 friends, did the day tour of Kilimanjaro with this company.
They were very friendly and helped us around Moshi the day before and then collected us from our accommodation in the morning. We went with Mwinyi as our guide and were very pleased with his services. Knowledged about the area and the wildlife he was quick to adapt to the type and level of information we were interested in.
In the whole we would definitely go on a safari with them again and thus certainly recommend you do too.

Kilimanjaro climb
Afrishare organised climbing Kili for our group of three.
Every aspect of the 7day climb was very organised. Our guides were highly experienced and knowledgeable of the mountain and it's flora/fauna. Thanks to their expertise, all 3 of us made it to the top for an unforgettable view.
The food was superb, especially considering we were on a mountain. Dishes served included: fish fillet, roast potatoes, spaghetti bolognaise and chicken. The chicken was of a particularly high standard; high quality cuts of fillet. Fresh fruit was in abundance, in addition to copious amounts of vegetables. Hot chocolate, tea, coffee, popcorn and cookies awaited us at every lunch/dinner stop. Huge thanks to Cosmas the chef.
The rest of our crew were also marvelous; extremely friendly and helpful.
Ibrahim did an excellent job of managing our trip and we look forward to working with him again.
Great experience! Would definitely recommend it to others!
Better late then never. When we got back from our trip, we more or less were sucked into normal life but thought many times of writing this review because we loved every minute of it and think back often. We went on a three day Safari with Afrishare and it was really great! We had a tight schedule of travelling and really wanted to do a safari. Because nobody had booked for the same period, Ibrahim did his best to find extra people which would lower the price (group instead of a private tour). Thankfully he found one extra person, so it was more or less a private tour for a group-tour price :) Ibraham was very helpful and quick in his replies always. In the very beginning, we actually remember that we were doubting if it was all real, as we read so many good reviews for this budget trip that we could not believe it was real. So we promised ourselves to mention this in our review for other people who have doubts like us. It is all true, the value for money, the food and accommodation and good safari-car with a great guide in it. Our guide and driver Fredy was really nice and explained us a lot. We felt in good hands and had a lot of fun together! We actually saw 4 of the big 5 :) Sadly the leopard wasn't willing to show himself :( The camp where we slept (Heaven Nature) was very good for a budget tour. More than we expected, we were actually surprised. Good tents and the shower was more or less warm. After dining a few drinks on the terrace to end the day (yes the sell beers!). We can truly recommend going on a safari trip with Afrishare! Thank you Ibrahim, Fredy and the cook (sorry forgot his name).

Great Experience!
We arranged 5 day Safari in advance via internet. We were little bit skeptic at the beginning as Ibrahim required to send deposit in advance without any record. But we did so. Upon arrival to Moshi we met with Ibrahim and discuss plan for all 5 days. On very next morning our driver Fredy and chef Abdallah came to pick us up to the hotel. The safari was awesome, we saw 4 out of big 5 (rhinos were hidden), cheetah hunt, birth of impala, a lot of lions and many other animals. On the way to Serengeti car had broke and we were stuck for couple of hours on abandoned place in Ngorongoro. Fredy arranged another car for us to take us to Serengeti for a game drive. Despite little delay we enjoyed Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara as much as possible. I strongly recommend Afrishare for Safari tours.
Great professionals!
We had booked a Kili trek in advance from Brazil and all went perfect, as pre-arranged. The owner Ibra and his team were always ready to help, with a great sense of humour all the time. It was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended! Thanks Ibra!

Great safari!
Two weeks ago we did the 3 day safari to Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater & Lake Manyara with Afrishare. It was amazing! We had booked the safari half a year in advance already. We found them on the Safari Bookings website and they offered the cheapest safari. After reading some reviews we decided to book with them. It was still a bit scary to make the initial payment as you never know how it will turn out when you're there, but we haven't had any problems at all. The contact before the safari with Ibrahim was good. He provided all information and responded quickly. During the safari we were being picked up at the appointed time from our hotel in Arusha. Then the amazing 3 day trip started. Especially the Ngorongoro crater was our favourite. We saw lions, hyenas, hippos, jackals, elephants, giraffes and many more. During the nights we stayed at the quiet tented camp Haven Nature. It was a very nice camp with beds, hot water, light and a delicious buffet (more than we expected as we booked the budget tent safari option). Finally our tour guide Freddy was a well English speaking, very polite and nice guy. We can definitely recommend to book with Afrishare. For us it was perfect.

An amazing experience
between the amazing natural parks, the personalised food and the very comfortable accommodation, the only worries after making payment is spotting the big 5. it was 3 days of no worries and great service, for a reasonable price.

Great Safari!!
Three amazing days in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara! They provided a great accomodation, in really nice glamping tents... and a good cook, Rama, who cooked glutenfree especially for me. Freddy was our guide, a great one! Smiling and willing, a great part of the team!
