Willi is the most amiable tour guide and he meticulously planned everything down to detail. Thanks!

Mount Kilimanjaro – an unforgettable adventure thanks to Pumba Reisen!

Our trip to Tanzania, or more precisely, all the planning in
the run-up to our Kilimanjaro climb, couldn't have been better or
easier. We were traveling with a small group of five friends, and Willi put together a personalized,
tailor-made itinerary for us. He catered to our every need – from finding a date (and rescheduling
on our part), to transportation to and from Kilimanjaro Airport, to a beautiful hotel in Arusha, to a
joint wellness day at the hot springs in Moshi, which rounded off our unforgettable trip.

However, the focus was
understandably on the seven days on the mountain, which exceeded our expectations. The “Lemosho Route” was varied and ideal for our fitness level. The camps are all in fantastic locations and some offer views of the summit or imposing rock faces such as the “Barancowall,” but also a magnificent panorama at night of the lights of the city of Moshi. The
entire 26-member crew around our guides Willi, Emanuel, and Irene, as well as the man for all occasions, “Amani,” the porters, cooks, and security guards did a perfect job. Thanks to their tireless efforts and inspiring motivation during the summit attempt, we all finally
reached Uhuru Peak on February 1.

A dream came true.

We want to book a safari trip soon and can't wait for it.

Pumba Reisen ist absolutely perfect! Thanks a lot to Willi and his team.

Unforgettable Tanzania Tour in August 2025
Our trip through Tanzania was simply fantastic! We received a warm welcome and excellent service right from the start at Kilimanjaro Airport. Our adventure began in Arusha with exciting excursions into the surrounding area, before continuing to Tarangire National Park, through the Serengeti, and on to Lake Manyara. Mkomazi National Park was another highlight.
A huge thank you goes to Daniel, our driver and guide. He accompanied us the entire time and was friendly, reliable, and incredibly patient. Thanks to his knowledge and dedication, we were able to experience Tanzania's impressive wildlife up close, including the River Crossing! His warm personality made the trip even more personal and unforgettable. Everything was perfectly organized as well: The accommodations were superbly chosen, the food was delicious, fresh, and often sustainably prepared – the lovingly prepared lunches along the way were a real treat and regularly drew admiring glances at the picnic areas. William Laizer planned and organized this trip for us. We stayed in regular contact by phone and were also able to meet him in Arusha and the Serengeti, which was always wonderful. All in all, it was a thoroughly successful and superbly organized trip.
A huge thank you to Pumba Reisen for the fantastic organization – and of course to Daniel, who introduced us to Tanzania in such a wonderful way. Perhaps we'll manage to travel to Tanzania again sometime – there's still so much to discover there. Conclusion: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) – Perfect service, fantastic experiences, unforgettable impressions!

Helpful and welcoming

5/5

Careen helped arrange everything from start to finish. I asked a lot of questions and she was always responsive and helpful. We, as a family, are so glad we booked with pumba reisen. Daniel, our guide, was always on hand and great and tracking down the animals. We saw some amazing sights during our trip and everything went perfectly.

Incredible once in a lifetime experience

5/5

Incredible experience of a Serengeti /Ngorongoro safari. Careen shared lots of information ahead of our journey and was excellent at keeping in touch. Our excellent guide, Daniel, was knowledgeable and we saw all the big 5 on our trip. We watched cheetah hunt pumba, lions mating, hyenas stalk a lion with its kill. We saw 2 leopards, a pride of over 50 lions, elephants, hippos, thousands of wildebeast and zepra and more. The accommodation Pumba Reisen arranged was excellent. The food was superb, with hot cooked meals for lunch every day, rather than cold sandwiches. They even provided us with a bottle of red wine! The service throughout was exceptional.
The jeep they used was relatively new, very comfortable and stylish! So many cup and binocular holders. Very practical.
Our trip was during the riots. We had no Internet and were uncertain whether we would be able to fly. Daniel reassured us daily and Careen had arranged a further night in a hotel in Arusha in case we needed it. Thankfully we didn't and we made it safely and on time to our flight onwards to Zanzibar.
I couldn't recommend these highly enough. The price was competitive and service second to none.

Completely in good hands

5/5

As part of my trip planning, I contacted 16 travel agencies. I had a very specific idea for our group. As crazy as it sounds, this was my fifth trip to Tanzania and my fifth ascent of Kilimanjaro. Therefore I knew exactly what we wanted. After all the agencies had submitted quotes and after writing many emails to clarify all outstanding questions, only three of the agencies remained on our short list. Pumba Reisen was one of them. While William's quote wasn't the cheapest of the three, he was 100% committed to implementing our ideas and that’s why I chose him. There was no "That's not possible!", no "We don't offer that!” and no "That will cost hundreds of euros more!" to our planning inquiries. Instead, the answer was: "We'll look at all the ideas together and see what we can implement." And it worked. We were already satisfied before we arrived.
During the trip itself, we also felt the attention to detail and the outstanding service and felt completely in good hands. We had a fantastic team on the Kilimanjaro Mountain, an exciting safari and excellent accommodations at all stops.
And we were not the only ones having a great time. We had the impression that William also took good care of his team on site and that it was very pleasant to work with him. That was very important to us.
For my sixth trip to Tanzania, I will be once again trusting William and his agency, Pumba Reisen. I'm really looking forward to it! This is the first time I've chosen the same agency twice. I was and still am very impressed.
