Wonderful time in Africa!
We had great time in Africa last year, we still talk about it all of the time and constantly pull out the pictures to re-live the experience! Having never been to Africa before, we really appreciated Mariannes help with deciding on the best itinerary, picking lodging, and making all of the sometimes complicated intracontinental trael arrangements. I would definately recommend her services to anyone wanting a great trip to Africa.

Machame Route with Trans Kibo
After some research, me and and my wife choosed Trans Kibo because it is directly in the YMCA Hostel and it also offered the best conditions for our price range. They cared a lot about us and we felt comfortable from the first moment. Once the tour on the Machame Route started it was the same. The guides paid attention that we don't walk too fast, drink and eat enough and also if our overall condition is all right. They checked the oxygen regularly. My wife walked up without any problems. I got fever and headache on the second day but I managed to go up because the guides had some paracetamol. When I felt too bad they also carried my daybag. Everything was alright! THX Trans Kibo

To be avoided. Poor equipment and agressive manager.
We booked a 4days/3nights safari at Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater. No complaints about the safari itself (we saw a lot of animals and enjoy our time) but about the old/ruined equipment used by Meru Trek Company and about the rude modes used by his manager, Ibrahim.
We had 5 flat tires in less than 2 days!!! I can understand some bad luck…but 5 tires punctured is not a matter of bad luck. It means you have a problem with the tires you are using!! I work for the tire industry and I know what I am talking about. The tires mounted in our jeep had almost no remaining tread and this is, beside a legal issue, a safety problem!!! These 5 flat tires caused not just loosing time from our safari, but also late arrivals to the campsites, to have to mount the tents with almost no light, late dinners and the disadvantage to remain for 3 hours in the middle of Serengeti waiting for someone to come to help us. Not just the tires were not at an adequate level, the driver did not have a proper torch to illuminate while performing the changing operations, the lifter use to lift up the car was getting blocked from time to time and once risked to catch up the driver while changing the tire under the car. Tents used by this company have zips broken, meaning cold and insects getting into your tent and in case of rain, also the rain (by the way, not all the tents were waterproof either).
When we went back to Arusha and we were taken to the main office, we tried to explain to the manager, Ibrahim that the equipment was not the appropriate and beside not even asking for any excuse, he just became very aggressive, not listening and not allowing anyone except by him to speak. He accused us to ask for a refund (we never mention this word or ask for any money back). Our purpose was to give him a constructive feedback to improve few things, but he did not listen to any reason. He started blaming us we were liars, and saying God will judge us in the Final Day….Honestly speaking if someone has to be judged is not me….but the person whose last sentence is: “you should be just happy to be back ALIVE from your safari…”. This is the person you will face if things do not go smooth.
It is up to you the choice, but to me it is not worthy to put your life at risk with bad car equipment, to loose time of your safari, to arrive to campsites late, to suffer cold because of bad equipment and to deal with this kind of person… at the end cheap turns to be more expensive!

Agama 5 day safari
We've just come home from an amazing 5-day private safari. It was a very pleasant journey. Our guide Samson was very nice and knew everything about nature and all the animals we have seen. The guide and cook also provided great service and nice meals, always asking if we were satisfied or needed anything else. We tasted real African food, which gave the safari an extra dimension. We would definitely recommend Agama to our friends, because it's a great safari for a very reasonable price.
An excellent adventure...
I wish to thank Mwema Africa Safaris director Mr. Charles Muema for his hospitality, he helped us a great deal to plan our trip, his correspondence and details were up to standard. i really appreciated
Our 4 days trip to Mombasa was a real adventure and we really had a lot of fun with my daughter and would wish to visit once more
I would recommend the tour operator to any traveler wishing to travel within East Africa
Best Regards

Excellent Safari by Peter and his crew!
Peter answered possibly over 50 emails to customize our trip to our liking. He was always very prompt with his responses which were detailed and insightful. We had a memorable and excellent trip. Everything went smoothly. His suggestions were great. Martin was an excellent guide. I would go back to him for a trip to Tanzania or Uganda in the future. We went to Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsave East and West, Naivasha and Nakuru.
