Budget friendly, local flavor, no frills tours and guides
My friend and I did the 6 day Machame Route on Kilimanjaro, a day trip to Tarangire, and a day trip to Mataruni waterfalls/coffee farm. We were very satisfied with all of the tours. Emmanuel was very responsive and accommodating to all the last minute plans/changes. The drivers were always on time, and delivered what was expected from each respective trip. Be advised however, that much of the prep for Kilimanjaro is your own responsibility, so do your own research on what to bring - there are plenty of lists online but some notable things to include would be: 1. water filtration throughout trip 2. rain jacket, rain backpack cover, AND poncho 3. clothing layers (as opposed to one big article of clothing) 4. comfortable daypack with plenty of support. 5. quality headlamp with extra batteries.

Perfect Safari with Guide Max
The Safari Tour included Lake Manyara, serengeti and Ngorongoro,so a very divers tour and lots to see. I am really happy with the organization and espacially with our tour guide Max who has immense knowledge and knows every spot in the nature parks and where specific animals are hiding. We had a full safari experience, every wish was full filled.

Once in a lifetime adventure
We went on a 5 day private safari with my sister. We can not criticize one thing. Everything was perfectly planned, starting from the pickup at the airport, the safari and again the drop of at the airport. Also the lodges we stayed in were really high in quality. First of all I want to thank our Guide Max who gave us the wonderful experience during the safari! He has many years of experience, so much knowledge and we felt in the best hands with him. If I would do a Safari again, I would ask for him. We had an amazing time, he fullfilled all of our wishes. Also thank you to Hillary whom we've been in contact while planing everything. Thanks to Daniel who picked us up from the airport and introduced us to Tanzania and thank you to Swaleh who was our guide on our first day for a tour in Arusha. Everyone was really hospitable, we felt like home.

Unforgettable honeymoon adventure
We were so fortunate to have Patrick from Genius Kilimanjaro as our guide for our honeymoon adventure in Tanzania. Not only during our stay, but throughout the planning process months before: Patrick always made sure to help us wherever he could, making himself available to answer all our questions, and genuinely thinks along to make it an amazing trip, with fantastic accommodations and activities.
Patrick not only led us up the incredible Mount Kilimanjaro but also organized our entire journey in Tanzania afterwards: a safari and trip to Zanzibar. The climb was challenging, but the G-fighters’ (our entire Genius team on the mountain) expertise and encouragement made it an incredible experience, one we will never forget. Thank you Patrick, Godfrey, Mama Rasta and all the other guys from the Genius Family!!
After conquering the mountain, we embarked on an unforgettable safari where we saw the Big Five and many more animals in their natural habitat. Baraka the Guide had a lot of knowledge of the local wildlife and his ability to spot animals with his bare eyes from far away was truly remarkable. Above all he’s a great guy to be around!
To conclude our trip, we went to Zanzibar, where every detail of our romantic beach getaway was flawlessly arranged. Patrick’s passion for his Tanzania and commitment to ensuring our honeymoon was perfect, shone through every step of the way.
Thank you for making our honeymoon an adventure of a lifetime, Kaka. We can't recommend Genius Kilimanjaro enough for their expertise, enthusiasm, and dedication to creating a dream honeymoon in Tanzania!

Super accomodating
Richard, our tour guide, was great! Easy going and knowledgeable. He really took his time to show us a wide variety of animals! The national park was great.
Maasai village visit was also totally worth out time.
The tour operator was also very accommodating!
Super happy!

Michelle created the most perfect bespoke South Africa safari for my family of five
In January 2023, I used the safari bookings website to help me plan the holiday of a lifetime for my wife, three teenage children and I in August 2023. The website was incredibly helpful for comparing different itineraries and costs. By March I had down-selected three suppliers from safari bookings website to work with to develop a bespoke package for my family. All three were excellent, and I eventually picked Michelle at 'Explore and Travel Africa' .
Michelle arranged a week's safari across two different lodges in the Kruger National Park and all transfers in between, including a day safari around the park itself, rather than just the private game reserves that the lodges were in, and a day trip to three different locations (an animal rehabilitation facility, a boat ride, and (the best ever) Elephant experience). So it was a rather complex itinerary yet Michelle arranged it faultlessly.
I loved being able to speak via whatsapp, so it wasn't just an email exchange. I also loved Michelle's breadth of knowledge of the African safari market for great suggestions. Where Michelle didn't know the answer (e.g. would a hotel configure a bedroom with suitable beds for my three adult-sized teenagers, rather than pull-out beds?), then she went the extra mile of contacting the hotels and confirming back to me. This gave me so much reassurance.
When we landed at the airport, we were met by a driver who ferried us to our first lodge. And from that moment onwards, the itinerary ran faultlessly. Drivers were always on time, lodges were arranged perfectly (and they were beautiful lodges!), and the additional activities were breathtaking (especially the Elephant experience!!).
I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle and Explore and Travel Africa to you for your next African adventure!
