The Best!
Ibrah is great! He has a hostel which is more like a home and if you decide to include the meals in your stay (I would encourage that) it's an incredible and affordable way to check out the town near Kilimanjaro. You get fresh juice and great foods at the house everyday, I loved it!! The treks are very fun and you can choose from a variety, Ibrah is flexible and can help you figure out what's right for you or even create it. They're amazing, everyone is super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend AfriShare if you're traveling in Tanzania. They have different options from day hikes to waterfalls, to excursions, to three day trips, they can create any kind of trip I think, it's awesome. Do check them out.
One of my favorite trips ever.
My friend and I booked a custom, 4-day safari with Afrishare that turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Our driver/chef and guide were consummate pros, and on top of it, a blast to spend time with. They helped us find spots to get really close to amazing animals. They set up camp for us at each site... it could not have been easier. Even the food was excellent. Ibrah made everything as easy as can be with booking, and made sure every detail was taken care of. On top of his great service, he is friendly, genuine, and easy to talk with. Do not hesitate to book with Afrishare!

I absolutely loved my experiences with Afrishare. I have been to Tanzania three times with them, traveling on safaris to Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, etc. I got to visit traditional Masai homes, and on safari I was lucky enough to see every animal imaginable---even a black rhino! I found the prices very reasonable, there are different price points available for both the budgeting traveler and the luxury traveler. I cannot give enough good praise for the owner of the company, Ibrah. Not only is he a wonderful host, guide, and travel expert, he is also an amazing person in that he gives back to his community. He works with underprivileged children and community leaders to improve the quality of life in Moshi. I can't wait to go back to Tanzania for the fourth time with him.

Sharing Culture in a personal, engaging way!
I have known Ibrah since I first visited Tanzania in 2008. Prior to starting Afrishare, Ibrah worked with Cross Cultural Solutions while I was a volunteer. He was a consistently friendly face and provided an extremely hospitable environment in my recent trips to Tanzania. I have referred friends to Afrishare for the famous "Kilimanjaro" treks. Ibrah makes sure that you get the deepest level of engagement with the community, while keeping your volunteers costs minimal in order to keep the volunteer placements running.
Afrishare is a life-changing experience. I have met fellow travelers on their paths, and all of them seem to become like family at the Afrishare compound. There are people from all walks of life, and Ibrah does a fantastic job at creating a community. My memories of my time with Afrishare will be with me indefinitely, and I am planning a trip back as soon as possible!
Ibrah works to provide safaris and treks at the lowest possible prices in the region. I have not found any other organization that provides safe, and reliable, safaris at such affordable prices.

A real cultural experience
The communication with the staff was excellent. They really listened to what we needed and gave us some great experiences. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to see the best of Tanzania.

My African Experience
My trip to Tanzania back in 2010 was by far one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I still talk about it all the time to this day. I stayed with Afrishare for almost 4 months and loved every minute of it. Ibrah and others made sure we were 100% taken care of the whole time. Set us up on a Safari, a trip to Zanzibar, showed us around Tanzania and its culture. Best part about Afrishare was the close relationships made with everyone involved. They are all truly lifelong friends and I can never thank them enough for the life experience they provided me while I was there. Thank you Ibrah and Afrishare!

Trip of a lifetime!!!!
I stayed with Ibrah for five weeks with four friends. We were made to feel part of the family! Ibrah really took care if us and organised the most amazing trips. He organised a three day safari for us, the trip was amazing, the staff were brilliant not to me tip the food and accommodation. We had the most amazing safari and managed to see the big five. Lifetime memories were made and we will never forget Ibrah and remain on contact.
Thank you!!! Xxx
Experience of a lifetime!
I went on Safari with Ibrah's company in early 2012 while I was volunteering in Moshi. My travel buddy and I took a 5 day safari. We were ably escorted for the trip by a very entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide, and quite frankly incredibly talented cook (I can still taste the amazing curry pizza!). It was an incredible experience, we saw all the 'Big Five' animals and camped in the middle of the Serengeti, and on the edge of Ngorangora Crater (which is the closest thing to the Garden of Eden I have seen).
I have no hesitation in recommending Ibrah and his company.

Highly recommended good value safari
We would highly recommend an Afrishare safari to anyone who is not looking to break the bank on a safari and still wants to see all the animals that those on more luxurious options see.
Two of us had a great time throughout. There was a hiccup beforehand when our supposed partners dropped out of our group safari so we had to pay extra ($100 each) for a private safari - but given the extra cost to Ibrahim this seemed reasonable.
Our trip consisted of one day in Lake Manyara; three days in the Serengeti which Afrishare were happy to facilitate; and one day in the Ngorongoro crater. We would strongly recommend spending as much time in the Serengeti as you can because it was not only the most beautiful in our opinion, but we also had the best animal encounters. We saw all the Big 5 and so much more - including great close ups of all the big cats.
The camping was comfortable and we slept well in the tents and kit that Ibrahim provided. The food on the whole was good and we ate well but of course don't expect anything too fancy.
Our guide was very nice and happy to accommodate our wishes for drives at the crack of dawn, plus he was incredibly talented at spotting animals of all shapes and sizes. However one of our only issues was that he could have been a bit more knowledgeable about the animals themselves as we were keen to learn as well as observe.
Saying that, overall all the staff Afrishare are very hospitable and kind. We stayed two nights in the lodge, before and after our safari, and the food was great. Ibrahim was very helpful and easy to speak to leading up to our trip and then helped book us a bus to return to Dar and recommended us a good hostel to stay in.
We hope that next time we come to Tanzania we can go on the Kilimanjaro trek with Afrishare.
