Machame route to Kilimanjaro and Safari
A friend of ours recommended African Traits / Youth Adventures to us. We got in touch with Godfrey Willy and booked a 6-day Machame tour to Kilimanjaro as well as a 4-day safari to Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Prices, as well as the communication beforehand, were both very good.
Someone from the company picked us up from the airport and brought us to a hotel that they organized as well. We were able to rent surprisingly good gear from a shop the day before that climb started and had a briefing on what else to bring and how to pack. The climb itself was really well organized, our guides were great, and so were the porters and the cook. Tents, food, and all other services worked out perfectly, we had a truly amazing time. Just one thing: be sure to know how much you want to tip before the guides approach you on the last night, else you might pay more than expected.
After the climb, we were brought to our hotel where we left our stuff and had a day to relax before we started the safari the day after. Alike the Kili tour, the safari was also well organized. We were put together with 4 other travelers in a Land Rover Defender and started our 4-day trip. Again, organization by the tour operator was great, our gear and car were good and our staff (guide and cook) were nice. We also saw a great number of animals, basically everything apart from rhinos. Specifically, Tarangire park was a huge positive surprise.
After the trip, Godfrey organized a hotel for our last night and then brought us to the airport on departure day.
All in all, I highly recommend Godfrey and his team!

Very quick in responding to queries and meticulously planned all aspects
Mike is very professional and approachable to answer all queries and prompt in providing information. Overall experience on the safari was nice and good value for money. Even got upgraded to a room on the Tanzania side which was totally unexpected and really appreciate that gesture.

An unforgettable experience thanks to Makasa an our guid Frank
We experienced an unforgettable experience during our nine days in Tanzania (safari tours) and six days on Zanzibar (Kilima Kidogo, sun, sea and beach).
We did not have to worry at all about the organization, we only have tot enjoy.
The accomodations were fine with full attention for their visitors.
We had a great guid, Frank, who showed us the big five and at all times was prepared to do his best to help us to make the best shots.
Our stay at Kilima Kidigo (Zanzibar) was relaxing and gave us the opportunity to come to rest.
We had a really wunderfull time and thank Selma (Makasa), Frank (guid) and Dina and her staff (Kilima Kidogo) for an great time.

It was amazing, well organized and interesting!
The safari with Tai Adventures&Safaris was absolutely great. The tour in whole was very interesting and the service was good. The credit cards to enter in the parks were paid in advance, we had our lunch Packet, a very good driver/guide (adaptability to the customers) and everything was organized before we started the tour. Our safari car was in good condition and we felt very safe with the drivers skills.
The good thing of Tai Adventrues&Safaris is that the company is really flexible and tries to make the best program for each individual customer. You can ask them for everything and they're trying to do their best to reach this aim.
The price breakdown was good arranged and fair.
We've been happy to choose Tai Adventures&Safaris

Prompt, extremely courteous and customer-oriented, take great pains to put traveler at complete ease
Their services are the best I have seen anywhere. Not only are they very prompt and make themselves available on short notice, they plan the itinerary in such a way that you do not feel you have missed anything at all. All this at a very economical cost. The promoter, Pamela, takes special care to ensure her guests are well looked after. Besides, they go that extra mile to render services that are not within the scope of the contract and which they are under no obligation to deliver. We had some big trouble with our return tickets to Mumbai (India) from Nairobi. The tickets had not been booked by them, but Pamela still came OUT OF THE WAY to help us and made sure we (My wife and I) were checked in on an alternative flight the very same day. She took the pain to accompany me to the ticketing office and pleaded my case. Then she also networked another airline through one of her agent friends and made sure we took off for India on the 24th of August. Pamela isn't just a service provider... at least in our case she has been a very good friend and guide, who stood by us in some very difficult times. If i ever have to come back to Kenya, I won't be looking around for choices among travel consultants. Blindfold me and I will still find Pamela and her husband. God bless them both, and lots and lots of love and deepest respect to them from me and my wife.
