They are reliable, professional and extremely caring.
I recently completed the Lemosho Route with Nafika Tours and I truly cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-organised, and handled with such care. Elias was very responsive and reliable in communication prior, and I felt really well prepared before arriving in Tanzania.
Our guides (Meshack and Calvin) were exceptional — incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and always prioritising safety. We had regular health checks, oxygen available, and they set a great pace to help acclimatise. The porters were absolutely amazing — so hardworking and always smiling, creating such a positive atmosphere every day (special thanks to Williad and Oswad who really went above and beyond).
The food was delicious and exceeded all expectations thanks to our amazing Chef, Saidi — the food was fresh, varied, and exactly what we needed to keep our energy up. They even went above and beyond to help me celebrate my birthday in the most special way. I reached the summit to a personalised birthday sign with my name and a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne! And if that wasn’t enough, they surprised me again by making a birthday cake. I felt so celebrated and cared for. I even got a bit sick during the climb, but the team looked after me with ginger and honey tea and lots of reassurance.
The only small issue was that our sleeping bags weren’t warm enough at first — but as soon as we mentioned it, they arranged additional ones right away.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and Nafika Tours helped make it unforgettable. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail were amazing. If you’re thinking about climbing Kilimanjaro, Nafika will take amazing care of you every step of the way! 🏔✨

Kilimanjaro Lemosho Trekking
We climbed Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route in eight days with Tanzania Wildlife Adventures. Our team was awesome. Festus, Juma, and Mcharo were our guides, and we had fifteen porters who carried all our supplies, equipment, and baggage, as well as our Simon, our chef. The team was a good mix of professionalism and friendliness. It was a blast, but it was also pretty intense. I'd say it's a good idea to be fairly fit and have some training beforehand. The food was incredible, and the portions were huge. We're still amazed at how the cook managed to make such tasty meals, given the limited kitchen setup. We loved the experience so much that we've recommended them to our family and friends.

It was a truly great trip, an unforgettable experience with an all-round carefree package
A fantastic trip, well planned in advance by the Brilliant office. Communication was excellent. The selected accommodations were fantastic, with delicious food. The guide, Aron, was absolutely fantastic; he showed us countless animals and explained a lot. Our children (8, 10, and 12 years old) were also thrilled, and Aron was absolutely fantastic.

Sandwich Harbour - 6 hours of wonder
We decided that it would be worthwhile doing a 6 hour (rather than a conventional 4 hour) trip, and were really glad we did.
People Tours and Safaris were great at communication and setting everything up, and our driver Hans was awesome. He was really knowledgeable about the landscape. And as the day passed on, we saw people coming up for 4 x hour adventures and laughed knowing we’d made the most of our time and didn’t feel rushed.
The trip included a great lunch of some Namibian oysters, a platter along with booze incl sparkling wine. And we stopped at plenty of cool points.
Highlights included seeing Whales in the bay, some other pretty cool wildlife (Jackals, Seals, Springboks and more) along with going up and down the dunes and getting some epic pictures.
Great tour company - more boutique and chill that the big groups.

A perfect, unforgettable experience!
We booked with Lion King Adventures for our honeymoon trip. We spent time in Tarangire where we saw more elephants than we could’ve possibly dreamed of, in the Ngorongoro crater which was surreal and absolutely beautiful, and onto our favourite location - the Serengeti - where we unbelievably saw leopards (2!!!) and cheetahs thanks to our brilliant guide, Benji. Benji was so knowledgeable and taught us so much about the wildlife. He was also incredible driving long hours cheerfully and without complaint. We were so grateful that he seemed determined to ensure we saw as much as possible and created memories to last a life time.
We were so well looked after by Lion King, who handled all of the booking and fees and made the whole experience hassle free. I couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Leaving with Good Memories
We booked our safari with Wild Race, and everything was smooth and thoughtfully arranged. The itinerary, the accommodation choices, and the overall organization made the experience very enjoyable for us.
We would also like to thank our guide David (Oyata) — on this kind of tour, the driver is just as important as the organization itself, and we were truly lucky. His calm and experienced approach made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the trip.
We are leaving your country with very nice memories.
Very well organized trip by Jupicon expeditions.
First of all thank you very much Jupicon expeditions to give my family such nice and organized trip to masai Mara. Everything well coordinated.

A passionate, knowledgeable, fun & friendly guide! Who couldn’t do enough for us, thanks Francis.
Me & my husband booked a 3 day safari with Polecat Safari to Tanzania. Our trip started Tarangerie on day 1, Ngorogoro crater on day 2 & Lake Manyara for day 3. What an incredible experience from start to finish!
From the first quote and message exchange with Anneth we knew we were in good hands. The communication was quick and she was happy to help us with any questions at all. The trip was for our Honeymoon and Anneth had made sure this was very special with personal touches.
Our tour guide, Francis, was amazing. His passion and knowledge about the animals and birds was amazing! We saw vast amounts and Francis always did his best to get us to have the best views possible! We thoroughly enjoyed spending 3 days with him and couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
Overall, fantastic experience from the team, the accommodations they organised were out of this world.
Asante Sana Polecat Safari’s! 5/5 star!

Professional reliable and operator
Our safari with Splendid Vacations Africa was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, the company really stood out among all operators by carefully listening to my briefing and customizing the trip exactly to my wishes — and within my budget.
The organization was smooth and professional throughout, with fast and clear communication from my tour contact, James. Our guide, Julius, was wonderful — professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and kind. My son was a very big fan of Julius.
The safari itself was an unforgettable experience, perfectly balanced between visits to the lakes and the Masai Mara. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five and many more animals, and the variety of activities — walking, biking, boating, and game drives — made every day exciting and different.
I can only highly recommend Splendid Vacations to anyone looking for a personalized, well-organized, and truly memorable safari adventure!
