6 days Kilamanjaro - incredible
5/5

Last week we set off on a 6 day route with Mafie Adventures on Kilamanjaro. This has been one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Although I did struggle each day, the amazing guides Oliver & John were always able to put me at ease. I would not have been able to get to the top if it wasn't for these two incredible men. Our entire experience with Mafie was brilliant. They have a brilliant team full of reassurance along with amazing chefs and porters. I will definitely use this company again or recommend to others. Asante Sana

Excellent
5/5

I had to book a last minute safari tour because I needed to cancel the current company that I was with. Mafie adventures responded promptly with an itinerary and reassurance that they could pick my children and I up from the airport that evening. When we landed, he was there waiting, dropped us off at the lodge we were staying in for the night, and had the remainder of the plans booked for the 5 days we would be with them. It was an amazing adventure. We visited 4 different parks, we’re provided hot meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, had an amazing chef, and our driver Sam was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip. Would highly recommend booking with Mafie adventures. Just remember to bring cash for payment.

Professional and attentive attitude
5/5

We received recommendations about Erastus and Mafie Adventures from friends and we are really happy that we chose him. First of all Erastus was always available and patient with all of the questions we had. When we arrived everything was always punctual which is important for me, the drivers were always on time and everything went by plan. Erastus organized us (truly) the best Tour Guide for Safari which went far behind our expectations. When we got back from Safari Erastus also organized us one day trip in Tanzania the main land before we left to Zanzibar. It was a day we will always remember, we saw huge waterfall, made coffee (from scratch!) and chilled in the hot springs. We really thank Erastus fire making this trip unforgettable.

Erastus and Mafie Adventures were a fantastic company to climb the Kilimanjaro
5/5

Erastus and Mafie adventures were a fantastic company to organise our trip to Kilimanjaro.
We chose the 8 days Lemosho route, and from the very beginning Erastus was super comprehensive and was able to answer all our questions about the trip. When we arrived in Tanzania, Erastus picked us up at the airport and organised very well all the remaining of the trip. Oliver and John were our two guides, and they were fantastic and supportive throughout all the journey. They started meticulously to check all our equipment the day before the start, and throughout the whole climb they have been terrific with countless tips, funny stories, and a superb knowledge about the mountain. We managed to reach the Summit without much of a problem thanks to our guides and the way they prepared and supported us throughout the whole journey. Especially on Summit night, when we were close to give up a couple of times, Oliver and John pushed us through constantly until we finally made it to the top. It was a magical experience, and we are really thankful to Erastus and the whole crew to be such a organised, well prepared and fun company to work with.
Oh and if you are wondering how the crew is treated and especially porters: mafie adventures tend to go more or less always with the same people, all of the people are treated more than fairly and it felt like we were part of a family who have been working together for a long time.
Thank you so much for everything Erastus, see you on the next mountain to climb!

Exceptional Company!
5/5

Wow, what an experience! I'd highly recommended!
recommend Mafie Adventures for an incredible African safari!!
They were prompt picking us up at the airport & dropping us back ( no extra charge) even though we stayed at a hotel other than theirs.
Our guide & cook were both amazing. Floren made sure we saw the big 5 & answered all our questions. He was very knowledgeable & met all our needs. Bugar our cook did a fantastic job as well, fixing us three hot meals of their local cuisine per day. Always smiling & very helpful.
This was a once in a life time trip for us
but if I were to do it again I'd use the same outfit.
Floren & Bugar thank you so much!!

Oliver is wonderful, caring, funny, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.
5/5

A combination of the tour guides, porters, cooks, and other hikers made this an unforgettable experience. They are trustworthy. When spending 6 days on a mountain hiking without running water, you’re bound to have some low moments. For me it was at the peak, the high altitude was difficult to manage. Thankfully the guides were by my side supporting me. Nanyaro and Oliver always checked in to make sure I was feeling okay and had such positive spirits. I’m so grateful for them. Everything about the experience was better because of the amazing crew.

Perfecto
5/5

Climbing the roof of Africa is an
unimaginable experience, and for some like
me, a unique opportunity.
I will forever be grateful with Mafie
adventures for helping me enjoy the journey
with their outstanding attitude, attentive
service and specially with their friendly
being.
Each of the 6 days were an experience itself.
The mountain is a beauty, our timing was on
point day after day, food was surprisingly
good (opposed to what we expected from
eating in a mountain) and of course the
views and landscapes are something to die for.

Our group encountered a couple of issues.
Nothing too grave but the Mafie team
quickly took matters into their own hands
and found the best solutions sooner rather
than later.
The overall experience was unbeatable, I
wouldn't change a thing about our trip and couldn’t imagine enjoying it as much as I did
without Mafie adventures.
Thank you very much Mafie adventures,
specially our guides Oliver, Prosper and
Osea and all the porters that helped us.

Asante sana, Nakupenda
