Abakombe Tours review
5/5

Great Climb
"We climbed Mt Kilimanjaro with Chacha and his team and were impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. We saw many other hikers struggling with the climb and some who were forced to turn back due to errors made by other guides, including inadequate English skills, lack of attention to the condition of their clients and even one person who had to turn back due being given incorrect and unnecessary medications by his guide. Chacha on the other hand is a consummate and attentive professional with lots of experience, great English and (just as important) excellent high altitude first aid training. We were checked each day for our blood oxygen levels and general condition. At least one member of our party almost certainly wouldn't have made it to the top without Chacha's care and encouragement. I strongly recommend that anyone wanting to summit Kilimanjaro pick their guides with great care and highly recommend this company.

Abakombe Tours is the great
5/5

On july 25, me with my fellow from South Korea we were meet at Kilimanjaro Airport and transfered to Moshi at Keys Hotel where our trip for a 5 days Marangu days marked the beggining followed with 2 days Ngorongoro crater safari!

Our trip was really good, we appreciated the arrangement made by Alphonce. He really took a good care of us and I can strongly recommend him to any one going for a trip in East Africa or Tanzania.
We were pleased by the service at Abakombe Tours and all the were perfect and panctual, the food was delicious and the guides were smart at every thing and especially Chacha and Martin.

Thank you all

Fantastic Guides
4/5

Went on three safaris close to Arusha. Our guide's name was Alpha and he was great. He was very capable in controlling the car and just amazing at spotting animals from a distance. Great conservationist as well. Great experience.

It would be 5 stars if not for the experience before the safaris. Do yourself a favor and ask for where you are going to be staying and do some research around that. Our group was doing the safari after the climb and we got lodged in a pretty bad place - Arusha Tourist Inn.

DO NOT USE THEM! NO JOKE!
1/5

If I could give a lower review - I would.
It started with lots of promises, it followed with asking for more money after we paid the whole price and already started the trip (he surprisedus by meeting us on the way to the Safari and wasted a whole day planned ahead), it continued with my fiance that needed to fix the jeep in the middle of Serengeti because Alphonce, the owner of the company sent us with a broken jeep. Can't imagine what would happen if we didn't notice the problem. This agency is dangerous! Not joking. Do not use them.
