Trustful and friendly
5/5

On the occasion of my honey moon and my 3rd safari to Africa I decided to trust Luitours for an all-included tour Safari of 5 days. Thanks to the reactivity and devotion of Ibrahim, we elaborated a program to visit Tarangire NP, Seregenti NP, Ngorongoro crater and Lake Manyara NP. With some last minute flight changes, it was not easy task. However, Ibrahim came up very quickly with great suggestions.
The tour was organised to the perfection and we experienced no hurdle. Our guide Bashir was really professional as well.
THANK YOU guys!
We can only report positive feelings and experience with Luitours and strongly suggest to contact Ibrahim.
Tanzania is AMAZING by the way!

Amazing hike with Almighty Kilimanjaro
5/5

My partner and I celebrated our 39th birthdays by climbing Kilimanjaro with Almighty Kilimanjaro despite this pandemic and it was the most incredible experience of our lives. The communication leading up to our trek with Almghty Kilimanjaro team was supportive and informative, they anticipated all our needs, even with flight changes that wasn't informed of until a few days before.

The guides we had - Justine and Lino - I recommend them thoroughly!!! Without their support, friendly attitudes, knowledge, preparedness and great conversation we would not have made it to the top. They truly care about their climbers and want you to succeed, which we both did.
Everyone in our team were friendly and knowledgeable, and the food our chef cooked was some of the best food we've ever had. The things they are able to cook at those altitudes and with minimal cooking supplies is incredible. Having pizza at 4,800m will definitely be a memory we won't forget. We would do the climb again just for the exceptional food alone.
In addition to this, our team surprised us on the 3rd night with a birthday cake and non-alcoholic sparkling wine and sang us happy birthday to celebrate the occasion. We were truly speechless at this gesture, and that someone carried these extra items for 3 days. It was so thoughtful and unexpected.

If you are looking for a remarkable experience and a successful climb with a reliable and safe company, definitely climb with Almighty Kilimanjaro. If you can request guides, absolutely request Justice and Limo. We cannot thank you all enough for everything that made our climb successful and incredibly special.

Thank you for a fantastic experience
5/5

Thank you Almighty Killimanjaro for a splendid experience throughout the trip from Nov 1st- Nov 7th climbing Kilimanjaro from Machame route. Chief guide Innocent, guide Steve and chef Sadick supported by their able and professional team made our trip safe, trouble free and loads of fun. We could see and feel the team JigJig and an earnest desire and effort to make our climb as comfortable as possible. It was an absolute delight all through. The special Birthday cake and celebration on the mountain made the trip extra special for us. Thank you Almighty Kilimanjaro and also my fellow climbers Carlin and Meghan. I feel I totally lucked out on this climb.

Mariah from the Ciata Mall branch on Kiambu is a star ⭐️. She is simply amazing and her service was absolutely phenomenal. She ensured I got something that suited me and even helped me coordinate with the hotel staff on a surprise I was planning.

Bella staff a wangui and a bella tour driver Richard perfected my Masai Mara Trip. It was worthful
5/5

I really wanted to tour the mara. At first I had tried doing it on my own to book a hotel and try to get my own transport unsuccessfuly (not a good idea). I decided to try Bella safaris which turned out to be the best decision i ever made. They were prompt in their response and within a very short time I was sorted. they introduced me to better hotel deals and their staff were really committed to support and give very helpful information. Wangui the staff incharge of the trip was very helpful and actually did for us everything. our tour driver Richard was very social and very informative and knowledgeable about all the animals in the part. Good service

Truly outstanding safari experience
5/5

We reviewed many different options for safari operators over the course of several months, and ultimately went with Shemeji Safaris. Our experience was outstanding, and we would absolutely recommend them: communication, logistics, meals, comfort, the vehicle, wildlife guiding, and more were all excellent.

I’ll include more detail below, but in our positive interactions with Julius and Godson, our guide and chef, as well as in our observation of other people on safari, it became incredibly clear that we made the right choice when selecting an operator. Experience, consideration, a welcoming spirit, and concern for us having a good time made Shemeji stand out from the pack.

For reference, we opted for a six-day private camping safari for two adults. Our itinerary included Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti NP, and Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

--

More detail for those who are interested:

Booking and planning – Emma, the contact at Shemeji’s office, was professional, helpful, and courteous from our first communication through our follow-up after the safari. She responded efficiently to all of our requests, and even when the office limited hours because of COVID, we didn’t wait more than two business days for an email response to questions about everything from outlets in the vehicle to payment.

Guide – Our guide for this trip was Julius, who is an experienced safari guide whose years in these parks gave him an edge in making our safari successful. He considered both my priorities (close encounters, especially with elephants) and my husband’s (as much diversity of viewing as possible), and we were able to have special moments close to animals every day, and saw nearly every animal we hoped to, including a black rhino and three leopards. A little bit of this comes down to chance, but Julius’ experience is what really made all of this happen; he knew what to look for, he assessed what we were prepared to do (use the “bush toilet”, sit in the vehicle for long periods of time patiently in search of some elusive cheetahs), and he made it happen. Julius was informative and answered all of our questions, never rushed our watching or viewing, shared his knowledge with us, and generally made this a great experience. We were blown away by how many animals we saw.

Chef – Our personal chef for the trip was Godson, and he made our trip comfortable and full of delicious food. We are vegetarians, and weren’t sure what to expect, but every meal was different and full of local vegetables and fresh flavors. Dishes were somewhat familiar, but always had Godson’s flair (carrots on pizza are fabulous), and servings were always way more than we could finish. More than once I thought about ways that I could make his dishes at home. We also appreciated the welcoming details: a Masaai blanket tablecloth even at lunchtime, hot water for tea and coffee at all meals, and always a warm smile and “Karibu.” Godson made the savannah feel like home.

One final note on Camping – We opted for a 100% camping safari, and are both extremely happy we did so. Our first two nights “glamping” included real beds in a surprisingly large and comfortable tent at a site that Shemeji’s parent company owns. The next three nights were at public campsites in or next to parks (meaning wildlife interaction, like giraffes by the parking area or an elephant drinking from a water tank!), and Shemeji went out of their way to make those sites comfortable, adding cots, sleeping mats, sleeping bags, and real pillows to the tents for us. Ultimately, it was still camping (which was our choice), yet the most comfortable type of camping I’ve ever done!
