Friendly and well organised, flexible.
I went on this safari with my two sons and their friend. It was a fantastic experience, and although expensive, worth every penny. The journey to and from Arusha was quite long, but, the scenery changes throughout as you climb towards the crater. The journey also provides an insight into Tanzanian life as you pass through the villages and bustling towns. However, the highlight is the extraordinary crater. Your first view, after passing through the Ngorongoro entrance gate, is quite staggering. The shear size of the expanse in front of you is mind blowing. When you get down to the crater floor you are immediately surrounded by wildlife and we saw four of the big five, including an intriguing encounter between two female and one male lions, some wildebeest and a hyena. We had a lovely picnic at the water hole, with hippos bobbing out of the water only a few yards away. The flamingos and pelicans were another of my personal highlights.

Reliable and attentive
We did the 7-day Machame hike... Which we decided to decrease to six (as we learned we're just not campers) for my husband's 49+1 birthday. The Kisaza team really celebrated the event for him in a surprising way. Michael and Ezekiel were our trek guides and they took great care of us from the beginning. They clearly knew I was the liability and they stayed by my side. Michael prepared us at night for the next day's hike and Ezekiel often set the pace. We decided not to summit because I was suffering from altitude sickness but they continued the trip just as encouraging. We'd undoubtedly take them again, if for some reason we wanted to camp!

Truly Wonderful and Memorable
We had one of the most memorable safaris in Tanzania. We saw more than 70 lions, hundreds of elephants, thousands of wildebeest and zebras and many other different animals. Our guide Juma went above and beyond to make our game drives in the parks wonderful. He handled the vehicle expertly and kept us safe along the highways and the parks.
We were struck by the splendour and beauty of Serengeti and Ngorongoro that made us feel like we were in an Animal Planet shooting set. The accommodations and food through out the trip were outstanding.
I would love to have another go of this trip.

Super speedy and professional - could not have asked for more
Engaged Off2Africa to organise a Kruger and Victoria Falls trip as a last minute trip (in early January) while in the thick of the Christmas season, and Chloe the manager was so speedy and professional with all her response! Everything was organised very quickly - and all details were thought of and taken cared of. The trip itself was fantastic too - great selection of hotels and activities. Could not have asked for more and and I highly recommend Off2Africa indeed.

Better than expected
This was my first Safari and I usually never do tours with companies or operators. But the experience was wonderful, the organization for the natural reserves and the places to sleeps was very good. Our guide was Francis ("The Faru") always had a good attitude, a nice smile, very respectful with the animals, a very experienced guide that I would recommend 100%

the door to a world of emotions!
in October we went to visit the Serengeti park after a visit to Mwanza on Lake Victoria. Our driver, accompanied by the cook, came to pick us up at the hotel with a covered (and very comfortable) jeep and in just over an hour we arrived at the entrance to the park. Our guide, very knowledgeable and very kind, took care of everything and assisted us throughout the visit: documents at the entrance, tour of the park, explanations and stops and overnight stay. The guide knew all the other guides we met while exploring the park and this is very important because the guides exchange information in real time on where to find the animals that live in the wild. We were thus able to see live, in their natural environment, an incredible quantity and variety of animals: elephants, lions, herbivores of all species, monkeys, birds, warthogs, crocodiles, but above all hippos. We spent the night in the "very noisy" savannah near a river crowded with hippos and it was the most exciting thing of our trip: hearing the animals roar in the night, but being safe inside a delicious little house! A safari is an unforgettable experience if you are accompanied by a trained guide and you rely on a good organization, like Ayo Jenga!

Amazing experience
It was our first safari trip and we weren’t sure what to expect but Emma put us on ease by answering all our questions and doubts and gave us some great advice and tips. Everything was well organized from start to finish, all we had to do was relax and enjoy our safari adventure. It was simply amazing to experience so much wildlife thanks to our experienced and patient guide Abrahman. Not only was he a great driver but as well spotted many animals that we would have easily missed. We spend around a week in the various NP-Arusha, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Each of them well worth it and the accommodation was lovely.
After the safari we flew to Zanzibar for a few a few days and enjoyed the spice tour, the beach and water activities at our hotel. The only pity was that we didn’t have more holidays left!
Many thanks to Emma and her team at Sunset adventure safari for the great service and adventure! In addition thanks for getting our lost luggage at airport safely back to our hotel!

Excellent 3days safari
Could not have asked for a better safari! Booking process very smooth. I travelled solo and meet a bunch of nice people, the vibe was great. Jonhy Jackson (the driver) was really kind, patient and knowledgeable about the animals. We were impressed by how he could predict animal’s behavior so he would move the car to be able to see them from the best spot. Really recommend Axis and hope you are lucky to have Jonhy as driver!

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro experience
I had the privilege of summiting Mount Kilimanjaro on the morning of January 17th, 2025, with the incredible team from Eco-Africa Climbing & Safari.
I chose the 8-day Lemosho route, from January 11th to January 18th, 2025.
From my very first communication with Mr. Fredrick Wilbert, Eco-Africa’s Travel Expert, the entire planning process was seamless and enjoyable. Any questions or concerns were addressed promptly, and the team showed great flexibility throughout.
Upon arriving at Kilimanjaro International Airport, Fredrick personally greeted me and drove me to Panama Guest House in Moshi, which serves as the pre- and post-trip accommodation. The guest house was clean, the staff was friendly and accommodating, and it provided a comfortable place for a brief stay.
The night before the trek, I met our Head Guide, Onesmo, who gave a thorough and informative briefing on the trip. He also conducted a detailed gear check to ensure everything was in order for the eight days ahead.
As I met the rest of the crew, it quickly became clear that Eco-Africa is not just another tour operator, but a well-coordinated team that treats its clients like family. The entire crew was friendly, helpful, and deeply committed to ensuring our comfort and success throughout the journey.
Hiking never felt like a burden, thanks to engaging and informative conversations with our guide. He shared insights about the different climate zones we passed through and offered tips on hiking techniques, pacing, and strategies to make the summit successful and as enjoyable as possible.
The campsites were always set up when we arrived, greeted with big smiles and high-fives, along with a refreshing juice to celebrate completing the day's hike.
The sleeping and dining tents were perfectly adequate, providing shelter and comfort amidst the varying weather conditions.
The meals were expertly prepared, offering a variety of options throughout the trip, ensuring that we were never hungry! The cooks truly worked magic with their meals.
Eco-Africa prides itself on being a "no-trace" company, and they absolutely lived up to this. Trash was managed responsibly, and team members were frequently seen walking through the camps, picking up any litter to ensure that we left no trace behind. Fantastic job on this front!
This trip was an overwhelming success, thanks to the exceptional efforts of the entire team.
A special thank you to Onesmo (Head Guide), Matthew and Faustine (the cooks), Jonathan (the attentive waiter), Ali (who prepared my sleeping arrangements and supported me during the summit push), and Thomas, Richard, Hussain, Victor, and Mjuni (the hardworking porters) who always kept things light with jokes and smiles.
I’m left with unforgettable memories and friendships for life!
Thank you, Eco-Africa—I look forward to our next adventure together!

Exceed my expectations. Saw 4 of the big 5!!!
First of all WE SAW 4 of THE BIG FIVE!!!! Ask to have Johnny Jackson as your tour guide. He’s had over 14 years of experience and his animal intuition was so impressive. He was able to PREDICT the animals movements so our group could get there before all the other trucks. It was insane. His young spirit and patience made us all so comfortable and the time pass by so easily. I cannot recommend this tour ENOUGH! And again, Johnny Jackson as our tour guide was the highlight of our trip next to seeing the animals.
