Good experience with a budget tour
Our five day Mt Kenya trek was an amazing experience. The hike passes through multiple eco zones, from rain forest to alpine desert. We saw many hyrax, bird species, and some monkeys. The summit sunrise was spectacular. Our route, up Sirimon down Chogoria, seemed like a good choice because it seemed easier to reach the summit from the Sirimon side and then we got to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the Chogoria side on the way down.
Our guide, Daniel, knew the trail and the area well and answered lots of questions we had about wildlife, geography, and culture. He was attentive to how we were faring on the trail and helped out when needed. I would definitely recommend him and his crew. Our food and accommodations (mostly tenting) were good quality, and our porters were friendly and helpful.
Those interested should note that two things about the transport to and from the mountain: (1) we were taken to and from Nairobi on the public mini-bus, which was an over three hour drive, and on the return trip, we had to wait about an hour at the bus station before the bus filled up and embarked. This was an interesting experience in its own way but if I were to do this trip again I would probably try to book a private car instead to save some time and comfort. (2) the $50 car pickup on the Chogoria side on the last day seems a bit overpriced and was not really optional for us, because the hike is otherwise impractically long to reach town in time to return to Nairobi by the evening.

MoAfrika did a phenomal job booking our safari. Communication was fast and easy for all of our questions to be answered. We booked a 3-day safari and stayed at Timbavati. The staff exceeded all of our expectations and made us feel right at home. It was everything we could have ever imagined and more. Specifically, Rachel, Delsi and Alan made our experience at Timbavati one of the most memorable times for us when we would come back from the safari day and night rides. Our guides for the safaris were very knowledgeable. Although we didn’t see the entire big 5- we saw sooo many animals and were more than satisfied with our wildlife observations- of course knowing that wildlife is unpredictable so any sighting is a lucky one! Incredible to see animals living in their natural elements.

Amazing experience, top operator!
We had a lovely 5 day mid-range shared safari in Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. Everything was perfect. The lodges were also super nice. Our guide Damian was the best: attentive, knowledgeable, funny, and a great person! Suricata was also extremely helpful and flexible to our plans. Totally recommend!

Accommodating, adaptable, responsive, and responsible
With ample operators from which to choose, I'm immensely glad I stumbled upon Almighty Kilimanjaro when organising a trip to Kilimanjaro. Accommodating, adaptable, responsive, and responsible are but few of the very positive attributes they brought to the table whilst enabling myself and one other to enjoy the Machame Route in five days as opposed to the usual six (upon our request). Both our guides were of high calibre and kept us entertained and informed throughout our trip, providing additional support when the effects of high altitude joined the party. Furthermore, the quality of food was astounding considering our remote location, and the friendliness and easy-going nature of the porters was never in doubt. To summarise, Almighty Kilimanjaro provided a truly excellent experience in tackling one of the seven summits and are a provider whom I would wholeheartedly recommend and gladly use again. Thanks!

Very Good
We chose the 6-day Budget Safari option in Kenya as the first stop on our honeymoon.
We left from Nairobi together with our guide Bonifazi in the direction of Lake Nakuru, during the trip we did a safari boat at Lake Naivasha (extra cost in the package). At Lake Nakuru we admired a wide variety of animals such as flamingos, rhinos, giraffes and lions.
The next morning we headed to the Masai Mara and stayed at the Miti Mingi Eco Camp.
In addition to the day safari we saw both the sunrise and sunset inside the park.
After two nights, we headed to Amboseli Park where we could admire the panorama of Mount Kilimanjaro (during the journey we changed our guide, our new driver is called Antony).
We stayed at the Nyati safari camp, a new camp with beautiful accommodation and an impressive view of Mount Kilimanjaro. We also had a morning hike with the park guide.
After two nights we returned to Nairobi.
We really want to thank Jemimha who supported us in the organization of the Safari, always very helpful and friendly.
A huge thank you to our guides Bonifazi and Antony who made us live incredible moments while admiring the landscapes and animals, they gave us very interesting explanations about every type of animal and they answered all our curiosity.
