Outstanding Care, Professionalism, and Safety First!
I recently completed (or rather, attempted!) the 7-day Machame Route with Almighty Kilimanjaro, and while I didn't reach the summit, my experience with the company was nothing short of exceptional.
Unfortunately, I had picked up a virus on my way into Tanzania and started the trek already coughing slightly. As we climbed higher, the cough exacerbated, and I began experiencing difficulty breathing and chest discomfort—early signs of High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE).
Throughout this, my chief guide, Shaffi, and assistant guide, Alex, were incredible. They monitored me closely, for example, checking my heart rate and
oxygen levels. When my cough flared up, Shaffi thoughtfully made me ginger tea to soothe it and carried my backpack to ease my load. They were endlessly encouraging, but more importantly, they knew when to prioritize safety over the summit.
As my breathing difficulties worsened, Shaffi made the crucial call: "Your life is more important than climbing the mountain. The mountain will always be there."
True to his word, he swiftly coordinated a rescue helicopter. The level of support didn't stop on the mountain: a ground crew was waiting for me as I landed, took me straight to a clinic for a medical check-up, and then safely transferred me to the hotel. Their professionalism, vigilance, and genuine compassion during a frightening medical emergency quite literally saved my life. Almighty Kilimanjaro operates with the highest standards of safety and care, and I cannot recommend Shaffi, Alex, and the entire team enough. If you are looking for a reliable, deeply empathetic trekking company that puts its climbers' well-being above all else, look no further than Almighty Kilimanjaro and ask for Shaffi and Alex.

Thoughtful and thorough warm and welcoming
Our experience with Caudence of Demi tours was exceptional. From the beginning of the process, she was informative, helpful and her responses to my questions were prompt and thoughtful. Our initial discussions involved some back and forth with different lodges and itineraries and she offered many options for us to chose from with upfront and honest opinions.
The lodges we chose together were fantastic ( tarangire safari lodge, lions paw, kubukubu, and nykami).
Upon our arrival she met us, and we also had the opportunity to meet her wonderful family( johns,delbert and mickel).
The information and guidance she provided prior to learning for our trip was invaluable
As far as the safari itself, our guide Moses was great. His ability to spot wildlife was nothing short of amazing. We were able to see not only the Big 5, But so much more. By the end of our journey, he was not just our guide,but an integral part of our group. I cannot imagine a better experience by having him as our guide
I wholeheartedly recommend Caudence and Demi tours for a once in a lifetime safari adventure.

Excellent safari planned bay Nasaru safaris
From the moment we started communicating with Caren via WhatsApp, she was excellent with communication and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The service was fantastic, from sending the quotation and providing alternative accommodation options to making the booking and arranging payments.
I travelled with my fiancée, and we thoroughly enjoyed our seven-day safari stay. Everything was well organised, from the airport pick-up to the safari experience and finally our airport drop-off.
We had a wonderful experience with Nasaru Safaris, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and well-organised safari experience. Thank you, Caren, and the entire Nasaru Safaris team, for making our trip memorable!

Really responsive and experienced guide but little times
Our guide Francis was extremely knowledgeable about the park and very skilled in identifying and accessing the locations to identify the animals that we really wanted to see. He knows most of the park rangers and other guides who give him a heads up on which animals are where. He was also a safe and responsable driver throughout the trip. The only down points were 1) the more than hour delay in picking us up at our hotel by Jungle Safari and putting us initially with a very irresponsible and dangerous driver by the name of Ben who was making constant phone calls and weaving in and out of heavy traffic in Nairobi and 2) the third day was not a full day at all and we had to leave our hotel at 7 am to return to briefly visit a masai village and then return to Nairobi.

It was beyond perfection!
We spoke to Chrizaan who arranged everything for us according to our budget and wills.
Everything was so good we just had to worry about having a good time in our honeymoon safari.
Thank you Chrizaan and thanks to the whole team.

An unforgettable first safari with Suricata!
I had an incredible 5 day safari with Suricata, seeing the big five multiple times thanks to our amazing driver, Alawi, who was informative, funny and ensured we had the best sightings. Our chef, Samson, also kept us very well fed during the game drives, with a great variety of meat and veg options.
All the lodges were beautiful, especially Boma Suricata Lodge, which was my favourite place, as it was the perfect place to relax after bumpy game drives. Tanzania Bush Camp in the Central Serengeti was also special, with lions hunting at night and stylish, comfortable accommodation to unwind in.
As my first safari, the bar has been set very high! I would highly recommend Suricata and would absolutely travel with them again.

Unforgettable Safari with an Incredible Team!
An Unforgettable Safari with an Incredible Team!
Our safari was an absolutely unforgettable experience, and we owe so much of it to our amazing team: Steve, Salim, and Godwin! They were not only fantastic guides, but also wonderful cooks and brilliant organizers who made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
A special shout-out to Steve with his eye of the tiger, our incredible driver and wildlife spotter! His knowledge, patience, passion, and dedication made every day special. He showed us breathtaking wildlife moments, spotted even some of the rarest animals, and did everything possible to bring us as close as safely and respectfully possible. Thanks to him, we witnessed moments we will remember for the rest of our lives. Along the way, he shared fascinating insights into Tanzania’s wildlife, nature, and culture, making the experience so much richer than simply seeing animals.
Salim and Godwin were equally wonderful, making sure we were well taken care of, well fed, and always in good hands. The food was delicious, the organization was excellent, and the whole team made us feel welcome, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
What made this safari truly special was not just the incredible animals and landscapes, but the people behind the experience. Their enthusiasm, kindness, humor, and genuine passion made every day an adventure. You could really feel that they wanted us to have the best possible experience, and they went above and beyond to make that happen.
If planning a safari in Tanzania, we couldn't recommend this team more highly! We came for the wildlife but left with unforgettable memories, countless stories to tell, and huge appreciation for these wonderful people.
Asante sana, Steve, Salim, and Godwin! You made our safari truly magical, and we will never forget it!
