Reviews
Amazing company, extremely caring staff and team, professional guides and overall great experience!
We did the 8 day Lemosho Route with Mboni as a couple. We had an amazing team of guides, a cook and 8 incredible porters who took all our equipment and often helped us carry our bags when they saw we were tired. The entire team did everything to make us happy throughout the whole trek and were so friendly and sweet. The food was amazing (thanks to Nixon the chef), the team had a portable toilet that was changed and cleaned several times a day, the experience was so much better than anticipated when imagining the conditions of a trek like this. The team even saw that one of us was a little sick, and they made us ginger and lemon tea from then on until we were better. When it rained they made sure every part of our tent was secure and no water could come in by digging around it and making sure we were warm and dry. We especially want to point out Charles, who was so charming and had an amazing optimistic and friendly personality, came to our tent in the evenings and mornings to provide absolutely anything we needed, including our food, hot drinks, hot water for washing ourselves and filling our drinking water and heat pads. He was a delight and we recommend him as a porter and waiter, along with all the other porters- Boniphace, Tumaini, Bashiri, Erick, Frederick, Ayoub and Freddy.
Our guides Chami and Abu Baker were so professional, caring and did everything to make sure we got to the top of the mountain, and they were genuinely proud of us when we reached the summit. They even checked our oxygen every morning and night and made sure we were feeling OK and healthy at all times. Both of them were so nice to work with and we are very happy we had them as our guides.
The Mboni staff was extremely caring and helpful from the minute we started the process until after we had left Moshi. Jackson and Maryam cared for everything, including our hotel stays the night before and after the trek, helped us even after the trek was over and really went out of their way to make sure we had a positive experience.
All in all we definitely recommend Mboni tours and the amazing team.
Mboni is a great and professional company to choose for your Kilimanjaro trek and we are sure they will do everything they can to make you happy and successful on your climb.
Excellent guides, one in front and the other in the back. Excellent food and always taking care of t
I did the Kilimanjaro route from Mt. Zama in 7 days. The conduct of the guides and the entire team was simply exceptional.
I really enjoyed the change of scenery during the trek and the way we got up early allowed us to rest more for the rest of the day when we reached the overnight camp.

Great Safari
Our safari was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish everything was smooth and well organized, but what truly made the trip special was our guide. He was knowledgeable about the animals and the environment, and his ability to spot wildlife from a distance was amazing. Thanks to him, we got to see the “Big Five” and so much more.
Beyond his expertise, he was also kind, patient, and fun to be around. He always made sure we were comfortable.
We felt safe, cared for, and inspired throughout the entire trip. If you are considering a safari, I recommend this company. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro Trek with Experts
I recently completed the 6 days Machame Route with Mboni, and it was an experience I will never forget. This was my first time on Kilimanjaro, and every moment from the gate to the summit felt like a “wow” moment. The guides were knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to answer any question, making us feel confident and excited throughout the trek.
The organization by Mboni was outstanding. Everything ran on time, and the team was always there whenever any challenge came up. The tents were comfortable, and even with the cold nights, we could request hot water for warmth during the night, a small gesture that made a huge difference.
The entire team’s support was beyond expectations. Whenever someone felt tired, they would offer to help with carrying daypacks and encourage us with warm smiles and kind words, making the climb feel possible even on the toughest days.
What stood out the most was the teamwork within Mboni. They truly care about each climber’s experience and safety, and their energy and commitment made the journey smooth and unforgettable. If you want to experience Kilimanjaro with a professional, supportive, and heartwarming team, I highly recommend Mboni Adventures. They made my dream come true.

Amazing 5-Day Safari Experience with Mboni Adventures!
I recently completed a 5-day safari with Mboni Adventures and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, everything was well-organized and exceeded my expectations.
The itinerary was excellent — we visited Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, and saw an incredible variety of wildlife including lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes, and even a leopard! Each day offered something new and exciting.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the animals and parks. He made sure we had the best views for photos and always took the time to explain what we were seeing. The vehicle was comfortable and well-maintained.
Accommodations were clean, comfortable, and beautifully located. The food was also delicious — we enjoyed fresh, tasty meals every day.
I highly recommend Mboni Adventures to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Their service, attention to detail, and dedication to customer satisfaction made this a trip of a lifetime. Thank you for the unforgettable experience

Kilimanjaro Trek and Safari
8 day Lemosho trek and 5 day safari - bookings and all questions managed by Jackson prior to arrival, was picked up by Frank who ended up being my driver a few times - the trek/climb was difficult but was made comfortable by the great team led by guide Atib and the fun porters. The equipment and food provided was excellent (tent was larger than other tour companies). The public toilets were a challenge (some companies offer private toilets). Glad I got to the top and for all the help on the way !
Safari was epic - Serengeti, Tarangire and the must-see Ngorongoro Crater. I stayed in the lodging (recommended upgrade from camping options), much more luxurious and comfortable. The majority of the time you drive round in a Toyota Landcruiser looking for animals with plenty to see. Big thanks to the Mboni team for the welcome and support - trip of a lifetime !

Organized and have the experience for a great adventure
It was very easy to book and the response is immediate and satisfying. Jackson was very accommodating and quick. We booked a 5-day safari and added an extra tour of Arusha national park last min. Our guide, Frank Magoma, was extremely knowledgeable, patient and funny. We had such a great time with Jim during 6 days and we learned a lot about the local culture, the fauna and wildlife. I couldn't recommend anyone better than him!
This is a Tanzanian-owned company and I would highly recommend booking with them and requesting Magoma to be your tour guide!

What a lovely safari
What an incredible safari. We count ourselves lucky to have done this holidays vacation with Mboni Adventures. Jackson and his team at at the office organized everything perfectly, including our guide Philip who looked after us very well. He made us to feel like royalty and made our safari and amazing adventure and relaxing also.
The wildlife encounters from our great 4x4 were so many including some up close encounters with elephants, lions, wildebeest, baboons, buffaloes and hippos. We actually saw all the big 5 in the first 4 days and the sequence kept on repeating itself in the subsequent days. The lodgings organized were fantastic and had excellent service. Tanzanians seem to have perfected the art of hospitality in East Africa because the lodges were really amazing.
Looking forward to a next time

Wonderful Safari Experience
My husband and I had an incredible experience in Tanzania with Joseph of Mboni Adventures. The trip was well planned with 4 days to explore the vast Serengeti and 2 days around Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi Basin. We flew to Kogatende in Northern Serengeti where we met with our guide Joseph. We loved both parks very much because of the abundant wildlife, beautiful landscapes and the fewer number of visitors in the offseason. Joseph found so many animals for us and he really understood us well. He could sense when we wanted to stay longer at a site and when we wanted to move on.
The food was amazing throughout the safari, one of the lodges had an organic farm and it was really nice to have farm to plate experience. The rooms were all comfortable and we had a great time.
I would recommend a safari in December to everyone, particularly those that are seeking a safari away from the crowds and Mboni Adventures know how to host the most remarkable experience.

Kudos Jackson and Mboni Adventures Crew
We had an amazing Kilimanjaro trek with Samson and Jeffrey of Mboni Adventures. They were friendly, humorous and competently supported us throughout the entire trek. They ensure that that we were safe, secure and comfortable. I was very impressed by Samson the lead as he took everything under his leadership such that no detail escaped him.
The trip went on trouble free, there was enough to eat for all, working equipment and we really gelled well together. The trek was very tough as the conditions take their toll on the body, particularly the low oxygen at the high altitude made us tire very quickly. The crew encouraged and helped us a lot. The extra day for acclimatization helped us make the last push for the summit.
I have a lot of admiration and respect for these guys. They are the reason we made it to Uhuru Peak.
