Best Ever!!
My sister and I went on a 4 day camping safari with Cornell, as our guide extraordinaire, and Ramon, as our cook. They were easy going, funny, professional and amazing tour guides. It's a lot of time in the car but they made us as comfortable as possible, even dancing along as we rocked out to our favorite songs. Cornell was very knowledgeable and showed us many animals that we will never forget. I have done a lot of traveling and this was by far one of the best safaris I have ever been on. I loved the camping and connection with the land. They set up camp for us and made sure all our needs were met. Thank you for making our trip one to remember forever.

Unforgettable Experience
We did a 4-day safari through the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara national park. The staff are very professional and also very friendly. Big thank you to George, Georgie, Killah, and Corneli for the amazing week in the bush!

Great experience - higly recommended
We had a great time with our beautiful safari in Tanzania organised by Milestone Safaris. We are a family of 4, with kids aged 14 and 12. We had contacted Milestone through the Evaneos website and all communication went very smoothly. The trip that Vera of Milestones had suggested based also on our own inputs, worked very well in terms of variety of parks and lodges. We did Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, incl the northern migration part in 8 days. We saw an amazing amount of animals, like we hoped and wanted.
Our guide and driver, George, was simply fantastic. He had an amazing ability to mix all the elements that form part of his job. He went out of his way to show us the best places and had our overall happiness as his priority. He has an amazingly positive can do attitude. Small mishaps such as a flat tire were handled in a calm and professional manner. From the moment he picked us up at Kilimanjaro airport to when he dropped us at the Seronera airstrip, George did an outstanding job.
We would highly recommend using the Milestone agency and ask for George as guide.

Great Experience - From beginning to End
My daughter and I had a great experience with Milestone and I highly recommend them. We had a successful climb (early August), ascending via the Rongai route and descending via Marangu. The weather was great and we had a beautiful morning on the summit. The entire 6 days were fabulous.
Planning for the trip went very smoothly. Sophia, our contact for arranging the trip, was a pleasure to work with. She replied to emails promptly and answered all the questions that came up. For the climb, Milestone assembled a terrific crew. Our guides Mudy and David were wonderful companions and always willing to carry on conversation as we hiked or while in camp. They set a good pace throughout the climb and kept an eye on us so we were in good shape for the day – I should say night – of the ascent. Food along the way was outstanding and plentiful. The cook, Amani, prepared delicious meals with variety. The head porter, Sheddy, was extremely attentive, kind and fun. He spoiled us with all the attention he gave us. The 9 porters that made up the rest of the crew were all very pleasant and we enjoyed their company. The route required tents. The camping equipment was v. good and was always set up and ready when we arrived in camp. As climbs are organized, different combinations of guides, cooks and porters are recruited. I got the impression that Milestone hires highly dependable people.
Having Milestone take care of the adventure from start to finish, including travel from and to the airport and arranging our stay the nights before and after the climb, was very convenient. Their price was around the average compared to other companies I reviewed. The Honey Badger Lodge where we stayed was very pleasant. We were very happy with Milestone all around.
