Awesome Safari with a really professional and animal loving (and full of respect) guide
The communication was via WhatsApp really fast. Emanuel is all the time ready to help and to advise.
The safari was just awesome, Emanuel told us so many things and was so a good teacher. He has all the time to smile and understand so well our needs. He is and will be more than a guide. Really!
You can contact me if necessary. Il parle parfaitement le français et cela a été un régal d'être avec lui.

Wonderful Staff, Great Trip
When someone dreams of a perfect safari, he or she usually dreams of a seeing leopards, elephants, lions, and getting up close and personal to the to the world's most majestic animals: this safari grants that opportunity and much more.
To begin, our guide, whose name was Titus, was waiting for us waiting for us when we arrived in Arusha. The true fun began when my family arrived in Serengeti, and i soon realized that Titus is sure to be the best safari guide in Tanzania - perhaps the best in all of Africa. A master in the art driving, gifted with the eyes of an eagle, and filled with more knowledge of the Serengeti than an encyclopedia, Titus will not only get you so close to a lion that you can smell it's breath smell, he will do it with the utmost safety and respect to the animal and customer. By the end of the trip, Titus had become more than just a driver he became a friend.
In short, my safari with Routes Kilimanjaro was the trip of a lifetime. Our experience was so spectacular that when my family left Tanzania, we all cried, as well as when we wished Titus a farewell. If you choose to make Tanzania your next adventure, choose any company but Routes Kilimanjaro Adventure is the topmost.

Amazing safari experience with Routes Kilimanjaro Adventure
Enjoyed it. Great organization. Good communication and food. Enthusiastic and informative driver guide. Good condition safari vehicle. Highly recommended.
We were the group of 8 adults, did did an eight days safari with Routes Kilimanjaro Adventure in mid December 2017. Pick up and drop off was from JRO. Weather cooperated on most days except the one day which we were delayed due to over flooding. But our driver guide Godfrey was helpful. We chosen medium accommodation which exceeded our expectations and was excellent (especially in the middle of the Serengeti). Food was great. It was mixture of local cuisines and some international dishes. Plenty of veg options available. Picnic lunches during game drives were good to.
Now for important stuff - Godfrey was excellent both as a driver and as a guide. He made sure we followed all the park regulations and observed wildlife safely and respectfully, while being able to enjoy. Godfrey had an amazing eye at spotting birds and animals from distance. His knowledge of their behavior, habitats and patterns was superb. However, watching wildlife is always a game of chance and of lucky according to Godfrey. We saw a herd of more than 100 elephants on one day while no elephants on last couple of days.
Overall we were extremely happy and satisfied with our first safari experience. Routes Kilimanjaro provided excellent service and good value for money. We will definitely choose Routes Kilimanjaro again for future safaris.
Thanks to Stella for organizing this wonderful safari. Having done all the bookings and communications online, and a continent apart, there is some apprehension. But Stella and Routes Kilimanjaro were patient and answered all our questions and accommodated requests.

PERFECT TRIP
After spending a long time searching through a variety companies for our family trip, we settled on Routes Kilimanjaro Adventures. A large reason to this was the helpfulness of Stella who was very quick to respond to our queries and plan safari so that it perfectly suited our requirements. From the initial planning stage, we felt like we were in safe hands.
We were collected at the airport by our driver and guide for the week, Nelson. He made the safari so special for my family and my self and his knowledge was incredible. He almost had a sixth sense where he could spot animals that we would never have noticed them, but Nelson did. He was very excited to see them and said it was exceptionally rare to spot a Leopard with the cubs running in the open. We sat and had our lunch with him every day and was great to find out about him and see how passionate he is about his job.
Our family trip was perfect and was thanks to the hard work of Routes Kilimanjaro team. There are many of tour agencies in Tanzania but we are so happy that we went with Routes Kilimanjaro Adventure.

Wildlife Safari
From booking to go on safari, the staff was very easy to work with and was able to customize our trip, giving us everything that we requested. We researched many companies and found that Routes Kilimanjaro was very reasonably priced for what they delivered. Our guide, couldn't have been better. We told him we wanted to see as much as we could, so he made sure the safari day lasted from sunrise to sunset. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the animals, plants, and birds found in the parks. He had an amazing ability to spot and identify animals, even from long distances away. Our guide was interested in photography, finding perfect spots to take pictures. We would travel with Routes Kilimanjaro again and ask for Emmanuel as our guide.

FABULOUS TANZANIA
We were hesitating to make our decision for almost a year as we were not sure about this destination. But after our research on which destination we finaly decided to go to Tanzania which was less reviwed by most of our friends, after some email's exchange with different tour operator and travel agents, we finaly fall onto hands of Routes Kilimanjaro Adventure who were very accommodative from the communications and the arrangement our tour.
Tanzania is kind of what we aere looking for because we wanted to see plenty of animals in their pure natural habitat, the great migration of Serengeti was the highlight of our trip while the herds of elephant in Tarangire was amazing.

Our trip to Tanzania with Routes Kilimanjaro was very fabulous, everything was perfect as expected
The communication was perfect we had the replies on time, and on details, our guide was always on time, the game drive was at the high quality, we saw a lot of animals despite the ongoing heavy rains in Serengeti. We rate this trip as the top tour that we have ever made in our life time.
Tanzania is very beautiful country in comparison to most of the other countries that we have been before. Many compliment to Routes Kilimanjaro and the team who are very professional and understanding. We are missing the good words to share with other game lovers so that they can imagine the way we enjoyed on this trip to Tanzania with the best team of Routes Kilimanjaro Adventure. Thanks for this wonderful time in Tanzania.

Excellent Trip
Our guide, Emmanuel, seemed to know everything about the parks. He speaks perfect English, along with several other languages, so we had great conversation as well. He knew exactly where to find any type of animal that we were looking for that day, he was very patient with us for the entire trip and was flexible to change plans if we decided we wanted to see something else on any given day. We also felt very safe with these guys. I would definitely recommend them to any of my family and friends.

amazing trip
We left with Routes Kilimanjaro in October 2015 to 5 parks of northern Tanzania. A great safari! Our driver was the head of the agency (Emmanuel Masuru) who knows perfectly all the places to see animals: lions, elephants, hyppo, giraffes and many others. We even saw Rinoceros and leopards and visited villages and markets.
The organization was great. No complaints, we had booked the lodges in nature parks: wonderful!
An unforgettable memory, I can not you recommending this agency. Moreover Emmanuel speaks French.
At the end of the safari, he had us, for 3-4 days, accommodation on the edge of the sea of Zanzibar beautiful nature.
We have only one desire: to do with him again the southern parks of Tanzania.
