Amazing Safari Experience
We had an incredible time on our first safari thanks to Green Places adventures! From the lodges to the journey to the safari itself we had an unforgettable experience.
Elijah was so great helping create various options to choose from for our adventure. Outstanding customer service during our trip he was laywas one text away were any problems to arise.
Alex, our guide, was an oustanding driver. Always getting us to the best spots for animal viewing, and his knoweldge was vast for all encountered species.
Thank you so much Alex and Elijah for an amazing time and unforgettable memories! We can not reccomend you enough.

Professional and reliable company
This was my first safari, and I had a magnificent guide who provided very clear explanations and excellent attention to our group, along with an experienced driver who was well-acquainted with the terrain and the unique roads found in this country. The guide’s name is Brian, and the driver is Albert.

Joseph is amazing! I think he is the best!
The company is reliable, patient, and experienced. Especially our guide whose name is Joseph. He is a perfect guide. You can choose him without any hesitation. He is careful, humorous, and experienced. You can also trust his driving skills, no matter in dry season or rainy season.

Excellent
Communication with Rachel from start to finish was seamless.
We felt we got good value for money compared with other companies and a fabulous selection of Lodges. All of them gave us such different opportunities and experiences but most importantly exceptional service from all their staff.
Our guide, now known to us as Gilbert the Great, gave us the most memorable safari experience, going above and beyond to seek out the an incredible array of animals. He even took great care to position the truck so we could capture these special moments on film. We cannot thank him enough.

Castro was the best tour guide ever
Castro our tour operator was just great. We were always first or one of the first ones to see an animals “in action”. He knew exactly how to spot them and where to find them. We have seen all of them!!! We had an amazing time.

Excellent, everything happened smoothly with great communication
A fabulous week in Tanzania. We came with another couple and everything from start to finish ran smoothly.
The lodges were all beautiful, staff and food wonderful
The highlight for all of us was obviously the safari… Gilbert our guide was fantastic. We have never seen so many unbelievable and unique sightings … every day was another incredible adventure. Thank you to Gilbert for all his hard work and skill.
A very well organised trip which was good value for money.

Professional and serious
It has been an unforgettable experience; in addition to the idyllic setting, we were accompanied on the trip by a wonderful guide named Brian—who took great care of us and always made sure we were comfortable while explaining the surroundings—as well as an excellent driver who helped us see as much as possible.

Professional and friendly
Simon, our driver was incredibly professional, punctual and friendly. He called a few minutes prior the agreed pick up time to let me know he was on his way. I appreciate his positive attitude.

A Fabulous once-in-a-lifetime experience
I cannot recommend Eco-Africa Climbing enough. They are simply the best!
My brother Larry and I (ages 68 and 66) planned this trip in March 2026. We had a limited time window to work around other travel plans, so our timeline was October 19th - November 3rd.
Based on some videos that I watched, I told Fredrick if that we wanted to not only climb Uhuru peak, but also to camp in the crater. He said that, while possible, he didn't recommend it due to the exreme cold and the difficulty in having the crew get all our gear to the crater. We decided that instead of camping in the crater, we would explore the crater after our summit.
We arrived in Moshi a couple of days before our trek started so that we could get over any jet lag, and we also added a couple of days at the end, in the event that anything unexpected happened, we wouldn't have to rush. That turned out to be a good solution for us, since I had some shopping for souvenirs to do before heading home.
Now, onto the trip itself: Our itinerary was the Northern Circuit Route (9 days). This was an excellent choice, since we had the time (both of us being retired) and because it allowed us to become well acclimatized to the altitude on our way.
Our crew of 15 was fabulous. The guides (our lead guide was Onesmo, but we also had leadership/guidance from Vincent, John, Jonathan, and others. Typically, Larry and our other guest Lindsey, would hike on ahead, with two guides, while I was bringing up the rear with two guides as well. Many of the days, several porters, after setting up camp, would return to accompany me and my guides the rest of the way to the camp.
We were all very well cared for the entire trip. Each of us had slightly different needs, and they accommodated all of them.
Our chef, David, fed us very well with delicious meals every day. He accommodated the special dietary needs of Larry (no cilantro!), and Lindsey. There was almost always more food than we could eat.
We hiked through all four vegetation zones (Rainforest, Moorland, Alpine Desert and Arctic Summit), and experienced all types of weather.
On our summit day, Larry and Lindsey went much faster than I did. About halfway up the mountain (from Kibo Huts to the Gilman's Point) Onesmo told me that at the rate we were going, I wouldn't be able to make it to the top. I told him that I was just following his pace, and that I could go much faster. And faster we went! We had left Kibo Huts around 1:00AM and I made it to Uhuru Peak at 1:16PM (after stopping to greet Larry and Lindsey at Stella Point).
After returning to Moshi, we had a couple of extra days, and they took us to see a premier league football game (soccer to us Americans) between Polisi Tanzania FC and Geita Gold FC. On my last day, John picked me up and took me into town to get some souvenirs. He knew the right place to go and I got just what I needed.
It was altogether, a fabulous experience. I couldn't have asked for better!

Best value for money and reliability choice.
If we could give them more than 5 stars we would definitely do it.
My wife and I want to personally mention John for being a one of a kind guide. He has offered rich explanations of wildlife and interesting facts about many places we were passing through while en route between reserves, he has also been really helpful with the delayed bag issue we experienced at our arrival at the airport, as well as the sunglasses I forgot in the vehicle.
He also drives very smoothly, even considering that some Kenyan roads and reserves routes are tricky, as well as he also spotted the best locations to watch the animals.
We had an unforgettable honeymoon in Kenya.
Asante sana!
