Family of 6 Safari.
Amazing experience of seeing animals close up and roaming so freely. Frank was a great guide and driver. He was caring throughout and was very knowledgeable, especially about birds.
The African landscapes of animals, earth and sky were very memorable.

Overall a great experience on Mt. Kilimanjaro
The staff during the hiking were amazing. They were very helpful and the food was amazing! Overall a great trip and unforgettable memorize. I signed up for a 7 days trek but ended up doing it in 6 days. I felt that one of the tour guides wanted to get home early and pushed us a little faster. We had a few in our group doing 6 days and some 7 days, so we were suppose to split during the trek but all ended up doing 6 days. I ended up pretty sick and threw up the whole way up on the summit day. Wish I would have done it in 7 days, due to my reactions to high altitude. Everyone else in my group was ok, minor sickness. Communication prior to the trek was very limited, had to email several time to get questions answered. Wish there was more information sent prior to leaving on what to expect. Please be aware that there was an expected tip around $250-300+ dollars per person after (for 6 days trek and 6 people in the group). I wish the whole tipping process would have been explained better prior so we could have prepared better and knew what to expect. But as mentioned prior, overall a good experience and I would recommend the company. Just be prepared that the communication may be limited and you have to ask.

Animal adventure
Great safari.
Communication was good from the start, with quick replies and clear answers.
The safari truck was great, I wouldn't want to do this without a pop-up roof as the height really helps spot the animals.
Our guide was always helpful and spoke perfect English. He made good suggestions and helped with our requests.
The Akagera National Park is a beautiful landscape with great views. We saw many animals including elephants and giraffes and hippos. Sadly we didn't see a rhino but they are very rare, and the leopards are very good at hiding.
The safari lodge was fantastic, newly refurbished with great showers and great views. A shame to leave so early but we had more elephants to find.

Well organized experience
We were both really happy with the whole experience.
From the start where we were collected from the airport, to the excellent safari camp in Selous (Ngalawa) and drop off to our next destination in Dar Es Salaam we had a brilliant time. We could not recommend these places highly enough. On Driving safari we were able to see lots of wildlife and our driver and guide Charles did what he could to make it exceptional. The game drives were excellent. February was a great time to visit - there was some rain but it did not detract from the experience and it was uncrowded.
We havevspent 2 nights in Ngalawa tented camp. Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Private outdoors pool. Staff really polite and helpful. Food was bland and every day almost the same with instant coffee for breakfasts.
Gombe safari did a superb job for us. Worth the price.
Thanks again.

A very interesting and amazing experience, Lots of memories were made and a trip I won't forget.
I think this whole trip was organised very well. And the safari itself was a great way to break up our work days. It was a school trip to volunteer at a primary school in Moshi. All of our travelling and activities were run by Afrishare. Everything was so amazing, I would definitely recommend this.
It was an eye opening, fun experience
The safari was a great experience that I hope I can visit again because it changed the way I viewed the world.

The whole trip was eye-opening, exciting and overall well organised!
Right from the beginning, everyone was welcoming and kind. The whole trip was adventurous and exciting. I always felt safe while also experiencing new things and stepping out of my comfort zone. I have no complaints.... the transport was good, the food was good and the activities were well organized and exciting.
