Quality local operator providing exceptional service.
7 day Lemosho route up Kilimanjaro & 2 day Safari.
Get comfortable as this is a long and detailed review of this exceptional company and their people.
First let me start with Geoffrey who is the director of the company. His ability to answer all my questions and queries via what's app made it so easy for me to choose Burigi chato safaris for all of my needs in Tanzania. Given there was an 8hr time difference between us I was even more impressed with his response rate. Everything was organised seamlessly from the moment I arrived. I was met by my driver and taken to my comfortable lodge in Mosh. I was met by my guide Amin for Mt Kilimanjaro climb. He provided me with a brief outline of the next days activities and went through an equipment check to ensure we only took what we needed for the 7 day trek. Next day I was introduced to the rest of the support team. As other hikers scheduled on this trip postponed their climb to another date, I had the support crew all to myself. There were 7 in total, I would like to say at this stage these guys are exceptional at what they do. It never ceases to amaze me how effortlessly they make it look. Carrying over 20kgs each up and down the mountain they always had our camp and tents all set up long before we even arrived. There was always a hot drink and meal ready whenever you arrived. At this point I would like to add that Wilson and his assistant cook winner are culinary geniuses with what they able to whip up. Example of some foods like fish and chips, rice and beef stews, spaghetti Bolognese, pancakes, crepes etc just to mention a few. Felt bad as all the food looked great but I was not able to eat too much of it as lost my appetite due to altitude. This is where Weshack my waiter comes in. He really should consider a job in sales as he was excellent in convincing me to eat as much I could to keep my strength up. He did a bloody good job too. He will make a good future guide. Speaking of guides I was blessed with such a great one in Amin who has over a decade of knowledge helping climbers achieve their goals. Again an individual that is exceptional at what he does. Always felt safe and confident with his guidance. The rest of the team like Mike our summit porter, Isaiah the dishwasher and Fred our porter all of who made the journey that much better.
The safari was exceptionally organised with all meals and accommodation taken care of. Tarangire park and Ngorongoro crater where phenomenal.
The team at Burigi chato are definitely a company I would recommend for any of your adventures in Tanzania. Whether that be climbing the mountain or doing a multi day safari, these are the folks you need to speak to first. I can not speak of them highly enough. Thank you

Amazing safari with Reggie
We made a 5 day safari with Reggie to Tanganiere, Maniara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. It was an amazing tour. Reggie is a very kind and lovely person and has always a smile on his face. He made our days unforgettable. He has such a good knowledge about the animals and nature. We felt very save with him. He has the best view to find animals and to show us. We also enjoyed all the hours talking with Reggie who gave us so much information about Tansania, the culture and the people. Looking forward to come again on a safari with Reggie

“A Journey of a Lifetime – Unforgettable Safari Experience!”
I can’t recommend this safari enough! From the moment we arrived, the adventure unfolded into a series of breathtaking moments that left us in awe. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and attentive to every detail, sharing fascinating insights into the animals and landscapes that surrounded us.
Each game drive was a thrilling experience, and we saw everything from majestic elephants and graceful giraffes to elusive leopards and even a pride of lions on the hunt. The close encounters were heart-stopping and exhilarating, but we always felt safe in the hands of our guide, who had a remarkable eye for spotting wildlife.
The accommodations were luxurious yet felt perfectly in tune with nature. Waking up to a sunrise over the savannah, with the sounds of wildlife in the distance, was magical. Meals were fantastic too—fresh, delicious, and with an authentic taste of local flavors.
Every moment on this safari felt surreal and left us with memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking to connect with nature on a profound level, this safari is an absolute must!
Highlights:
• Expert guides with incredible knowledge of wildlife and ecology.
• Thrilling, safe encounters with a wide variety of animals.
• Stunning, comfortable lodges that blend into the natural environment.
• Breathtaking views and unforgettable sunrise and sunset moments.
Can’t wait to go back!

Amazing Great Apes Tour!!
I couldn’t recommend Silverbird Tours more- the guides were friendly, informative and knowledgeable. The wildlife, scenery and offerings in Rwanda were amazing- from the spectacular gorillas, to chimpanzees and a plethora of monkeys in stunning tropical forests. The accommodations, itinerary and care organized by Silverbird Tours was a 10/10!!

Fantastic trip, only bettered by the service!
From the outset of the booking process and throughout, Boris was incredibly attentive and helpful. Boris was very responsive and helpful in providing additional details and information, allowing my girlfriend and I to pick an option which was best suited to what we needed.
Our trip involved flying from Zanzibar to the Serengeti, which involved the organisation of transfers from our hotel, flights, pick up and of course accommodation. The whole trip ran perfectly. There were no issues at any point and there was always someone waiting for us. Additionally, Boris was incredibly attentive throughout our trip to make sure things were running smoothly.
Our guide for the safari was fantastic. He had been working in the Serengeti for several years and his understanding of the National Park, its animals etc was fantastic. He was very friendly, and was always looking to try and find as many animals as possible, which resulted in us being able to see all the Big 5 and their cubs as well as a number of other fantastic animals.
We also booked the Balloon Safari experience through Akondo. Given we booked this very last minute, I have to commend Boris for how helpful he was in helping us book the experience, which was truly a once in a lifetime event.
On the whole our Safari trip was incredible and the highlight of our holiday. Boris and Akondo were incredible in organising such a trip, but also in how they looked after myself and my girlfriend from start to finish. I would highly recommend Akondo Adventures to anyone looking for a similar trip.
