Beautiful trip in South Afrika
In the preparation we got all possibilities to make an individual trip. It was well organised. We got a lot of information in advance. The guides and tours were on time. The guides told us many interesting things about the country, animal, the people, etc.

Incredible time!
We've spent 3 weeks in Tansania, aiming for climbing Kilimanjaro.
Before arriving there I wrote to more than 30 companies, trying to find the right one.
Mega adventures is situated in We travel hostel (best hostel!!), our first hostel, so we gave it a shot.
From all the companies we contacted, this one was the best one because:
- they are very honest, they told us how it works with the porters! It was very important for us to book with an agency that is part of KPAP, and even though this one is not (yet), they pay a very solid and fair salary. In fact, all the porters I talked to, loved Mohammed as their boss!
- They named other companies in case we insisted on booking with KPAP companies!
- It is the best offer you can find in Moshi!
Now let's talk about the tour itself:
- we got 2 times a day warm food (more food than all the hikers we met on the mountain) and awesome breakfast
- oxymeter
- well trained guides
- awesome and nice porters
- well equipment
In fact, they really did everything to get us on the top safely, preventing us from suffering altitude sickness.

Excellent service and attention to every detail
I had the pleasure of working with Heidi Bedford. This was our first trip to Africa so I had tons of questions which she answered and then, based on what I wanted to see, planned the perfect trip for my husband and me! Every detail was handled, I was so confident in our transportation and lodging. She even arranged our airline tickets at my request. I have been told I am "difficult" to please but Heidi sure pleased me! I recommend her highly - she knows her stuff! My thanks

Amazing adventure
Thank you Daniel and Peter (our guide/ driver for 2 weeks). Daniel set up our safari including everything we wanted to see and do expertly. Peter took such good care of us the entire time we were there we never had to worry about a thing. And the animals!!!! From the lions lounging in the shade to the adult female lion protecting their kill for the pride. The cheetahs, hippos,giraffes we saw them and not just saw them but were able to observe their behavior from up close. I can't think of enough adjectives to tell you what an extraordinary experience it was. Anyone that enjoys seeing animals should do this at least once in their lifetime. I plan on going back in a few years. Thank you Daniel and Peter.

Incredible trip, highly recommended!
I did a 7 day trip including chimps at Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, the gorillas at Bwindi impenetrable forest and Lake Bunyonyi. It was everything I expected and more. I loved all of the locations on the tour and the accommodation and food were all very good. The food at Kibale Forest Camp was especially good!
Tom was a great guide, he looked after me well and taught me lots about the animals and the people of Uganda. I got to see all the animals I wanted to see, Tom found some lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park and he found me some zebras on the outskirts of lake Nburu on the way back to Entebbe which was a nice bonus.
Hajarah was also a please to deal with leading up to the safari, she answered all my questions very quickly.
I would definitely book with Simba again!

outstanding personal service that put all of us at ease
On July 2017 i and a couple of friends just wanted to experience what a safari is like during the public holidays. Since this was going to be our first safari my friends who have opted to join me in Maun asked at the lodge where they were staying if they could recommend someone who could take us on a 1 night safari. The lady at the reception contacted Moonstroll on our behalf and within a few minutes Namz from Moonstroll came to see us. We asked a few questions and Namz answered all of these honestly and also assured us that as long as we followed exactly what the guide says in relation to safety measures, everything should be fine. We finally reached an agreement on the amount that each one of us should pay for a fully serviced 1 night trip. Our guide was well organized and exuded a wealth of knowledge. He was also the friendliest person who was willing to accommodate all of our interests. The chef, oh my god! , produced some amazing dishes during our stay in Khwai. Interestingly these dishes were prepared on an open fire. All in all everyone in our short-lived trip was quite amazing and we thank all of them for giving us this unique opportunity to experience the other side of Africa that we in Africa normally take for granted.

Great Safari Experience in Amboseli
Before visiting Amboseli, we thought African is all about desert only. Well, this perception proved to be wrong when we landed at Amboseli. Mt Kilimanjaro is an amazing mountain rising from the soils of Tanzania. Because of our tour manager Willliam, we were able to experience the most incredible sight seeing of many wild animals. Honestly, you can never have such amazing scene anywhere in the world!

Efficient, Personal and All when according to plan
We very much enjoyed working with Laurette at Pembury Tours. She was very responsive to our emails, accurate and efficient with all the bookings. We did not have any issues during our tour. We highly recommend her services.

Trip of a Lifetime!
We just finished our African Adventure organized with the amazing help of Vanessa from Spirit of Kenya (It Started in Africa originally). There were a few last minute changes to our accommodations (due to the rebranding of the Company) but we were more than happy with all of the changes. All of the lodges/camps we stayed at were exceptional and although we chose all the camps in Level A (Mid Range), they were all 5 stars to us. Because we were travelling to Tanzania as part of our tour, we had to change drivers and vehicles at the border. This was all well organized and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We had John as our guide for the Masai Mara and he was awesome. He was quiet but he made sure we got the best view of the animals. His driving skills were also incredible as the roads in Kenya are not easy to drive on. For the last leg of our adventure in Amboseli we had Steven for our guide. He was also very knowledgeable and we always felt safe with him at the wheel. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime and we were very happy we chose Spirit of Kenya to organize it for us.
