Incredible, best Kilimanjaro experience you could ever imagine
We just finished 7days Lemosho Trekking tour with Zanzi trekking team. It was overwhelmingly goooodd! More than Perfect!!
Our guide Justin is the best guide you could ever imagine. He is very patient, attentive, experienced and knowledgeable. Everything we thought about or never think about trekking, he is always ready for us. He took very good care of us. Everyday plan and preparation are always well explained. He can answer all questions that we had about the nature, the mountain and the country. Fred, our assistant guide and the porter team(Faraja, Kelvin, Nahor, Dual, Pius, Joseph, Shadraki) they are so caring and cheerful. Our cook Dastan, top! He always know what my belly need after hiking! I don’t have a single moment missing my hometown food.
We couldn’t make to summit without such an amazing team. Their encouragement when we struggled, their happy faces after we achieved the summit, their dance and songs, all made our Kilimanjaro trip so unique and unforgettable.
100% recommend to anyone who want to climb Kilimanjaro! You will have an amazing time with them!!

This company is the one to use for any tours in Rwanda.
I recently used Golden Rwanda Safaris for my mountain gorilla and golden monkey treks. Frank quickly answered my initial inquiry and was very helpful planning and customizing my trip, as well as answering my questions. Before I left home, I knew I was in good hands for this trip.
Muhamed contacted me before I arrived and met me at the airport. He was my guide for the entire trip to make sure I had an exceptional experience. He even picked the best porters and group for my ability level during the gorilla trek. Muhamed is a top-notch guide.
I highly recommend Golden Rwanda Safaris as the pinnacle tour company for any Rwandan tours.

A Seamless Experience with Zanzi Trekking
Zanzi Trekking provided a memorable experience for our Kilimanjaro trek. Their excellent customer service and seamless communication made booking and planning easy. The company organized a private trek on the Lemosho route, ensuring everything was taken care of so we could focus on reaching Uhuru Peak.
The professional and friendly team at Zanzi Trekking made sure the trek was safe and enjoyable, even when challenges arose. The guides and porters not only led us up the mountain but also shared insights into Tanzanian culture, making the journey more than just a climb—it was a cultural connection and a chance to form lasting friendships.

Competent
I spent 6 days trekking the mountain with guide Justin as well as porters and a cook. I can only say that it was an amazing experience that was only made possible due to the zanzi team. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Justin was able to provide careful medical attention when needed and would always inform me about interesting facts about the mountain and its surroundings.
Although my appetite wasn't the best due to the altitude, the food provided was very good. I can only recommend the Zanzi team for the trip and wish them all the best!

7 Day Safari - Mid Range Option
I had a great experience booking through Honest (the owner) for the 7 day safari! I was between the budget and mid range option and chose mid-range. After seeing friends participate in the budget option, the mosquitos were not bad and with wet wipes for bathing would have been doable. That being said I was VERY happy to have a bed at the end of the day, a private warm shower, and most accomodations seemed more on the luxury side!
Highly recommend the two nights in serengheti, also our tour guide Abu was fantastic and often avoided the large crowds which allowed us to have more intimate animal experiences.
We did have one hiccup checking into one of the parks, but was alhandled by Honest and Abu with some wait time.
Some tips for those about to join: $10 a day for the guide and $5 a day for the chef is the expected tips.
I waited last minute to book in person, but it was a scramble to find a group I could join. If booking midrange or luxury, booking ahead of time is definitely the way to go! Honest also met with me before and after for drinks and felt like a friend the whole time. Highly recommend!

Excellent and Very Accommodating Safari Company
Two friends and I went on a Safari with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris Ltd in December 2013 and we are very happy with their service. We only had a short time to see as much as possible and the company designed a tour specially to suit our budget and what we wanted to see. We toured through the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in 6 days. A change of guide was needed with the change of country but we were able to keep our cook, which provided some continuity on the trip.
The guides were professional, friendly and adapted their guiding to our needs and interests. We only had small cameras so they worked hard to get us as close as possible to the animals. We were able to tell them what we wanted to see and they both focused on finding that for us.
Food was provided for most of the trip and the lunch stops as well as the food prepared for us was again adapted to our tastes and diets. It was also delicious.
Everyone involved with the company was polite, friendly and suitably relaxed with us. I would highly recommend the company to anyone with any budget.

Friendly and helpful safari company
From the moment we were picked up from the airport to the moment we were dropped off, Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris took great care of us! When planning our safari, all emails were answered quickly and they worked with us to make sure we saw everything we wanted while staying within our budget. The food prepared for us was delicious and all staff were friendly and personable.
I would recommend Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris to anyone thinking of a safari!

After 25 safaris, Tanzania is the best.
My first safari was to South Africa in 1998. I have made 25 safaris since then and now visit only Tanzania and the Serengeti. I have traveled to West, South and North in Tanzania. I would not return to Katavi and Mahale. I would certainly recommend all the parks in southern (Selous, Ruaha, etc.). Tarangire is great for Elephant lovers in particular and one must visit the Ngorogoro crater at least once. The Serengeti has a year round perpetual migration of Zebras and Wildebeest. In the south one can see the birthing of about 5000 calves a DAY in February...and all the big cats are drawn to this supermarket. The 'middle' of the Serengeti is home to all the cats year round as well as elephants, and very busy, but not to be missed. The north holds my favorite camp...Sayari. This is where I go to witness big migration crossing Mara River in August/Sept., but this area has wildlife all year. Tanzania has everything....all the cats: Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs, Servals and others. I have been to Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Ruanda and Tanzania. My favorite wonderful safari experience is still Tanzania, and I am returning for my 26th safari (and 10th arranged by Vuriva safari company) in August 2017.

Africa Remote Safaris thinks about everthing you just think about enjoying
Steve and Naphtally are very helpful to organise our safari according to our requirements. They received us at the airport in Nairobi and drove us at the hotel. The day after, we started our 4 nights safari with Mike (Amboseli-Lake Nakuru Masai Mara). For all safari we had a private minivan. At Masai Mara, Africa Remote up-graded our accomodation at the same price (Osero Camp). It was a nice surprise.
Mike is a great guide, very patient with a sharp eye to see animals. When we came back to Nairobi, Africa Remote (Steve) offered us a dinner at Carnivore Restaurant. We really suggest this tour operator for your safari due to their availability, drivers ability and good quality/price ratio. (P.s.: if sometime they don't answer to your mail quickly or they don't arrive on time, don't worry).

Great experience
A fantastic trip, well suited for us as a family. This is the first time we have ever travelled on an arranged holiday, previously having organised trips ourselves. However, with a safari being outside of our experience, we adopted this approach and it worked very well. We would definitely recommend Safarihub to our friends
