Our Magical Tanzanian Adventure
There are so many companies that offer you the 'safari experience of a lifetime' - where do you even start?
We opted for Paul and Life Journey Experience based on a number of things: initially we based the first contact on the reviews from previous clients; following that, his amazingly quick response and availability both via email and whatsapp then, most importantly, as he is a small company, we felt we would get a more personalised service. We also preferred putting our money into a smaller set up where we hoped the monies paid for the trip would trickle down to all employees. We were not disappointed on any front!
From the moment that Paul met us at the airport, he could not do enough for us. We spent the most amazing first day of our trip in Arusha, being shown around the town and then visiting the market with a Masai guide - a fantastic experience that Paul organised and we thoroughly enjoyed.
The following morning we set off on our safari with Amos - our guide. He was without doubt the magic in our safari! His knowledge of wildlife, geology and history was never-ending, his 'spotting abilities' were amazing and our time spent on safari will be in our hearts and memories for a long time to come.
Paul organised our trip and tailored it to our whims and fancies (poor man), our chopping and changing of dates and times as our arrival date kept moving around and not once was anything too much trouble.
Our accommodation was exactly what we had envisioned - we stayed in small migration camps that were very low key - our favourite being Kontiki Ndutu.
We just can't recommend Paul highly enough. Over the course of our time in Tanzania, we met a number of his employees all of whom spoke very highly of him and said what a 'really good and genuine guy' he is. Our experience also supported this point of view!
Thanks to Paul and his incredible team, our safari exceeded every expectation and we just can't recommend him highly enough.
Paul - hopefully we will see you again - we're going to get into training for our Mount Kilimanjaro climb....but only if Amos comes too!

Complete
Optimum service. The guide was very expert of the area and the animals, providing live explanations of everything that we saw. The operator connected in harmony with the lodges, allowing us to find every time all we needed ready. Not a single thing went bad. Perfect 100/100
Amos, our guide, is really top notch

DO NOT MISS IT FOR ANYTHING
My brother and I recently went on a safari in Tanzania and visited Zanzibar with Life Journey Experience, and I can't recommend them enough! From start to finish, everything was incredibly well-organized. The flight from Serengeti to Zanzibar went smoothly, and the accommodations were top-notch.
A special shoutout to our driver and guide, Moses, who made the journey even more memorable with his expertise and friendly demeanor. Thanks to Life Journey Experience, this trip was an unforgettable adventure!

LJE takes a human approach to commercial tourism, taking time to understand the traveler(s)’ needs.
We are a group of 2 that booked an 8 days Kilimanjaro and 5 days Safari trip with Paul at Life Journey Experience in December.
From the get-go, Paul’s email responses were extremely prompt, informative and helpful. We had a very good understanding of what to expect prior to the trip that helped in our preparation. In my opinion, LJE was one of the most affordable operator but in no way did they sacrifice on experience.
The Kilimanjaro hike was tough but we were well taken care of. The porters made our journey a breeze and cook ensured there were way more than enough delicious food and snacks on the table for us to refuel every step of the journey. I would also like to shout out to our guide George without whom I might not have made it to the top - Summit night was tough, with extreme temperatures (little ice particles even formed on my backpack!) From little things like opening my snack for me when my fingers were freezing and didn’t work, to constantly giving moral and physical support to ensure I reached the top (especially the last lap from Stella Point to Uhuru Peak), he went above and beyond to ensure that we achieved our dream when I wanted to give up many times. In his words, we have travelled so far and paid so much to achieve this milestone that he would do all he could to make it possible for us.
The 5-days safari was also amazing where we were able to see all the big 5s. The guide was knowledgeable and the cook (also named Paul) made such delicious food that I probably gained weight!
Although there were little hiccups along the way, they were not anything too significant and I could feel the company’s values and principles through their interaction. I would highly recommend LJE and Paul Marsha to anyone looking to experience Tanzania and what it has to offer!

Responsive, friendly
My friend and I did our 8 days Mt. Kilimanjaro Hike and a 5 days safari with Life Journey.
Paul was extremely patient and friendly to answer all our queries prior the trips and provided us the necessary info that we required. Upon arriving everything was smoothly arranged and he was quite responsive and accommodating to our needs.
His crews and guides were all very friendly and professional. Would totally recommend Life Journey to anyone who want to hike/do safari!

Amazing experience and excellent service!
Everything was as described and the communication with the guide was always excellent. I had some special requests and the guide always was eager to help and offered me the best options for what I was expecting for this trip. The whole team was amazing, but the cook was so good!!
Before the trip, we talk about what I was expecting and suggested me to rent some equipment, which was a great idea, and during the hike he was always paying attention to how I felt and gave me very useful tips.
I totally recommend Life Journey Experience!!!

The best and excellent tour operator !
How to describe my trip in Tanzania..my brain is there all the time… how can you explain such a trip that takes you by the guts? I met the animals from The Lion King, a childhood dream, it amazed me! The ascent of Kilimanjaro was a trauma engraved in my neurons forever...Thanks to Paul who took me by the hand to climb this majestic mountain without him it would not have been possible but especially without the presence of Saddam, John, Iddy and the whole team nothing could have been done, I guarantee it 1000%. My soul is paralyzed forever…
Thank you Life Journey Experience Tour ❤️

One the best trip of my life
My wife and I had a wonderful experience climbing mount Kilimanjaro with Paul and his team. They took care of us like family and we would have never been able to go to the summit without them. There were so joyful and kind to us.
We also had an amazing 2 days safari with them that we can only recommend.
Thank you for everything !
