One Day Kilimanjaro Hike to Mandara Hut
The communication through WhatsApp went very well. Frank texted me all the informations about the trip, also he picked me up from the bus station, helped me to find my hotel and he also helped me to find a taxi to the airport a few days after.
For the trip itself we drove to the Gate by car, the me and my guide did the hike together. It was private, so there were just me and the guide, he was very kind and caring. After we arrived at Mandara Hut, we went to the crater and had lunch there. Water and lunchbox were included in the price.
The hike itself was very hard for me but it was fun and a nice experience. I’m very confident with the organization of the trip and really recommend it to everyone!

FAMILY ADVENTURE WITH BOKER ADVENTURES
It was a wonderful adventure we did with Boker Adventures in this year February 2019. My wife and son visit Tanzania for Mt Kilimanjaro climbing via lemosho 8 days and 5 days safari. We arrange with Peter since last year 2018 October.
On arrival we found Peter at the airport, we drove to the hotel where we meet our guides who climbed with us. They gave us comprehensive briefing including checking our climbing gears. We were very well packed and thank you Peter for the climbing gears list you attached to us, it helped us to know what to be packed for climbing.
The next day we were ready to hit the climb with our crew. The crew was organized and well equipped. We did paper work at the gate and have some water filled in the bottles ready to enjoy the climb. My wife was a bit worried but the guide Mudi and Nick encouraged her indeed since day one. Regard the preparation we had before climbing still climbing was challenging, what helped was the Diamox medics we took before arrival as Peter instructed us to do.
The guides were brilliant and wonderful. They never want to see us losing hope while climbing till the last day we summit. They knew exactly what to do and at what time. I liked their awareness of doing everything when it’s the right time to do. Honestly, I will advice everyone who wish to climb, If you really want to summit you should pay attention and follow the guides what they say. If you will do with your mind you will never succeed.
The food was plenty and enough and good thing we realized that Peter sent food supply when we were up there. The cook knew what food was the best for our climb. Porters were also incredible and fantastic. They did a great job since day one. I never knew if they carry a lot while climbing. Never think twice when it comes to tip the crew. They deserve it though I know Peter pay them a good salary but still you have to, This is my opinion though, hahaha.
After climb we did safari also and visit the great crater called Ngorongoro and Serengeti national park. It was our first time in our life to see animals leave in the crater with enough nature to support them but wonderful enough to see rhino. My son was too much excited when he saw lion in Serengeti National Park doing hunting.
For sure we highly recommend Boker adventures for their great organization for our adventures. Their price was very fair, they know how to make you smile and feel the value for your money. I hope no one want to see their years of saving end up in bad adventures. Then for that choose Peter, Choose Boker Adventures for your satisfaction.
Thank you Peter and see you next time and as I told you on July you will expect me with my work team.
All the best Peter.

Expert service for excellent price
The communication of the team exceeded any expectations from the start - my email and whatsapp messages got quick responses at all hours.
The tour arrangements were efficient and professional. We needed to store some luggage for the duration of the safari, and this was handled without any extra hassles for us.
The safari itself was a very memorable experience, including the (looong) drive, the accommodation, and of course, Masai Mara. Our guide Joshua was knowledgeable, relaxed and accommodating to our wishes.
I would happily repeat the trip!

Tanja, our South Africa expert was superb. She put together a brilliant three week package.
Everything was perfect from start to finish. We had a very limited budget but Tanja our South Africa expert provided all that we asked for and more. She was efficient, listened to our comments and requests and gave us more than we could have expected. The personal recommendations added to it greatly and she even managed to meet up with us to say hello. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and this company.

Great safari and great experience
I had a great experience in Safari with Tanzania Mwangaza, it was for 3 days and 2 nights between Mikumi park and udzungwa national park hikking and see the waterfalls, I've enjoyed every moment with them, my guide Bob was great and friendly. I had the chance to see most of the animals at the park. The stay at Camp Bastian was simply very good.
Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience.

Nightmare - Do not use this safari company
There are many bad reviews of this company. 14% are 1-star on TripAdvisor as of this writing. Please listen to them to save yourself the money, hassle, and discomfort my daughter and I endured, as well as a threat of bank account fraud.
We were picked up at the airport as scheduled, but in an old, broken safari vehicle with broken seat belts and an overall dirty, filthy condition.
We were immediately told we needed to pay an additional $200 per person on top of the $1,750 per person we had already paid. She said the additional $400 would be to stay at a tent camp, not the upscale Serena Hotel we were promised and paid for. THIS IS A DECEPTIVE SCAM. It apparently happened to the last two reviewers as well.
We went to this tent camp, which we were promised was as upscale as the hotel, but it was far from. These accommodations were subpar to what we paid for and what we were promised. This was a true bait-and-switch. We demanded to be taken to the hotel we prepaid for, and the driver refused to take us. Martha didn't answer the phone. The driver said he didn't have the money or reservation for our hotel we were promised and we were again stuck in this very basic tent camp. We felt as though we were being held against our will in the middle of nowhere.
The safari vehicle itself was broken down and in poor condition. Some issues included broken off seatbelts, a broken hood latch so the hood kept bouncing up in our view, the radio didn't work, and the car was unkempt and dirty. It was not comfortable, particularly when we paid for a premium experience.
The only good thing was that we saw a lot of animals. The driver was unprofessional and smelled (poor personal hygiene).
At the end of the trip, we were supposed to go to the airport to depart. We thought we were on the way to the airport, and the driver took us to a gas station. At that point, Martha (from the beginning of the trip) got into our vehicle. The driver took us so slowly to the airport, we felt we were behind held against our will, as Martha accosted us about an email complaint. She threatened to have us arrested.
We eventually made it to the airport and they refused to let us out of the car. They threatened us and yelled at us. Finally, 45 minutes before our international flight time, we were able to get out of the car and rush to our flight.
After returning home, we wrote a negative review here on TripAdvisor. The tour company contacted us and agreed to a $900 refund if we removed this review. They never sent any partial refund. They told us they would only send any partial refund if we gave our bank account routing and account number, which is the last thing anyone should ever do with their bank account. They would not refund to our original payment method or send via Western Union.
This company is fraudulent and made me and my daughter feel unsafe and uncomfortable. Do not go with your family. Do not go with your friends. Do not use this tour operator under any circumstances. Take your money and your business elsewhere. You will have a much better trip for it.
