To the top !
We had such a intense and beautiful experience, trekking with Spirit of Kilimanjaro.
After having read a lot of good comments on internet, we had quickly a brief meetup with William by videoconference from home and then multiple messages when we had questions.
From the payment (small deposit before and the rest directly in cash in Moshi) to the trek itself and friendly moments sharing with the entire team also when back in town, everythings was trustworthy (payments / tips were clear and discussed with tact and assertivity from both part) and absolutely enjoyable.
If William did not take part finally to the ascension, hiking with Tuliza and David was a pleasure for both of us,, respecting our own pace and being really supportive during the final ascent. It looked like hiking with friends (and you know how tricky it could be sometimes).
Porters and the entire staff did a marvellous job.
Even if it could appear rather unusual for us to be assisted so much, it helps the community and improve significantly the feassbility to reach the summit. No matter your physical condition and skills, the last day (night) legitimate itself the need of guidance.
We thank sincerely William and all the staff of Spirit, they do a great job.
Speaking with others travellers, who accomplished or not the ascent, it was worth to pay a little bit more (still much less than booking with a big operator) : warm sleeping bag etc.

Smooth Operator....in all the best ways!
Jartan professionally and effortlessly navigated our group throughout this adventure with poise, personality, and endless knowledge about our environment, its inhabitants, flora, and fauna. What impressed me most was his availability before and during our adventure. Before departing, he reached out by email and phone to make sure any and every possible question was answered. Upon arrival in Nairobi, he came to the airport to pick us up personally. Throughout our adventure together he was constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect for each traveller.
Jartan and our drivers always knew exactly where to go to position us for the best game-viewing experiences and provide us with the most memorable safari experiences possible. Within five minutes of landing in the Maasai Mara, we had the good fortune to encounter three cheetah siblings lazing on a prominent rock immediately followed by a pair of lions surveying their terrain. The embarrassment of riches continued just 30 minutes later with a lone cheetah stalking an impala.....and that was just the beginning. During our entire time together Jartan and our drivers always were a step ahead positioning our vehicle ahead of impending encounters with elephants, leopards, zebras, giraffes, wildebeests, and many more animal and bird species up close. It was a photographic dream. Thank you for the tour of a lifetime which exceeded all of my expectations!

Throughout our honeymoon, African Welcome Safaris demonstrated a commitment to excellence. The accommodations, transportation, and guides were top-notch, reflecting the company's dedication to providing an unforgettable experience. Our heartfelt thanks for making our honeymoon a journey of a lifetime.

Unforgettable and wonderful safari experience in North Tanzania
With my girlfriend we experienced a private wonderful safari for 6 days in the north part of Tanzania. The organisation was very good and Ibrahim was pretty quick to adjust our plans, to communicate and to give special recommendations.
Our personal guide Haji demonstrated a lot of experience, patience and teaching skills. He always was looking for the best scenes to spot while respecting the nature. We felt very comfortable with him.
The big 5 were nice to see, but they are not the core of the safari. Every day we experienced new unique habitats and unexpected events that surprised us.
The several birds species that we spotted with pretty patience, were the ice on the cake.
The accommodations and service were excellent for all the trip, especially in the Serengeti National Park.
Finally this nature and cultural experience will be always unforgettable and it has been above our best expectations.
Afrishare safari operator is defenitely recommended.

Very responsive, personable and helpful
Wild Pride Safaris did an amazing job planning our honeymoon. The tour operator was very responsive (often answered within 24 hours or less) and custom built an itinerary that suited our needs.
They greeted us with roses for the bride as well as customized “Just Married” stickers with our names on the Safari vehicle. The hotel accomodations were world class. Our driver, Deocary, was with us every step of the way and was very knowledgeable about the animals and the landscape. Thanks to him - we saw the entire Big 5 in one morning. He knew exactly where to be and has a great instinct for where the animals will be.

Journey of a Lifetime: Nsavi Safaris Delivers Excellence in our 8-Day Uganda Safari Experience
We had an incredible 8 day trip through Uganda with Nsavi Safaris and it was truly amazing. The communication with Victoria prior to the trip was professional, friendly and on point at all times. Victoria organized every detail to our requests and provided us with detailed information about our upcoming adventure.
Our driver and guide Bob was crucial in making our experience in Uganda outstanding. His attentiveness and dedication ensured that every request was met and his extensive knowledge of the country added depth to our trip. Throughout the trip we always felt safe and comfortable thanks to Bob's knowledge and care.
The time we spent exploring Uganda was simply wonderful, with unforgettable stays in lodges, encounters with nature and the creation of lasting memories. The stunning landscapes and incredible wildlife of Uganda made it a very special destination.
We sincerely thank Nsavi Safaris for organizing these unforgettable moments. Without a doubt, we would travel with Nsavi Safaris again and we highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a remarkable and well-organized safari experience. Thank you so much for making our trip through Uganda truly an unforgettable one!

Superb service, responsive, informative, excellent pre trip planning. Very clear communication.
Our guide, Emmanuel, was a superb guide! He was friendly, informative and enthusiastic about animals, birds and plant life. He made sure we saw lots of animals and was very patient at animal sightings which enriched our experience. It was thrilling to have lunch watching cheetahs , a large pride of lions and white rhinos. Emmanuel had exceptional driving skills in rough, often muddy terrain. He provided an experience that exceeded our expectations. We will recommend Lion King and Emmanuel to friends and family who are interested in a safari.

Highly recommended!
A must do experience! And highly recommend Ritah from Cyan Tours & Travels. She organized a well thought out schedule from transport to and from our residence, accomodation at Mara Engai, and safari experience.
Our driver was very accomodating and knowledgeable on areas where we could spot the animals. He also organised a picnic lunch in the wild.
We thoroughly enjoyed from the beginning to the end of our trip
