The best guys!
I need to recommend JIWE Adventures for you trip to TanzanIa! It’s a 10! I took their kilimanjaro trek. The guide was top professional, you could easily compare with others I talked to in the mountain. Without the help of the team (guide, porters, waiter & cook) it would not have been possible to make it. It was tougher than I expected!
Some words apart for Edgar, the owner of the company . A really great professional, but a much greater person. He took care personally of a serious problem I went through during my trip, when he had no need to. I’ll never in my life forget what he did for me, considering him to be now a friend.
When you get to know people of such human kindness, it’s worth it!!!
You can also hire their Service for safari!
JIWE, no other!

Yes, book with Jiwe
Wow---I am not sure where to begin exactly. Everything was organized, efficient, and we were so happy with the experience we might book Jiwe for another trek. We didn't have crazy expectations, but of course we really wanted to reach the summit. The best part is that we chose the 9 day Northern Circuit Route, and were so thankful we did! This route gave us more time in nature, more time to acclimatize, more time to get to know our crew, and we were overjoyed with the entire experience. The porters, guides, and cook became our adopted family. Edgar, the manager, went above and beyond to ensure we were happy and well taken care of. Our guides - Jackson and GoodLuck were amazing---funny, cooperative, positive, and helpful. They made sure we enjoyed the experience! The cook was always very creative in cooking and we loved how healthy and fresh the food was! Thank you Jiwe!

Awesome, unforgettable experience climbing Mount Kilimanjaro with Jiwe Adventures
I chose Jiwe Adventures after researching a few companies because they were the only company that replied to my emails immediately and in a very efficient way. Communicating with Edgar from day one was great. He replied to emails everyday of the week and all hours of the day. Information given was to the point and everything you needed to know. When we arrived in Moshi we were met at the airport by a very friendly face with a bottle of water for us to drink on the trip to the hotel. Edgar and our guide Goodluck met us at the hotel to explain what to expect and check we had all the gear necessary for our walk. Our walk up the mountain was unforgettable. We were supported by a fantastic team of porters, cook and our two guides Goodluck and Edward. Their knowledge of the mountain, encouragement and dedication helped us to summit a day earlier than expected. The food supplied was tasty and everything you needed to acieve your goal. Our waiter, who brought the food to us at every meal always did so with a smile on his face. When we got to the end of the walk our waiter had ice cold drinks waiting for us. I would highly recommend Jiwe Adventures. You can not go wrong choosing them.

Professional, accommodating and local experts
Owner, Edgar was very responsive to all questions and concerns from the moment I inquired about booking Kilimanjaro trek to the moment I left Tanzania after the trek. His team of guides, porters and chef were all top notch, hard working, fun and very helpful. I highly recommend this local adventure company. Great value - less expensive than most of the other companies.

Nice time with Ben from Jiwe Adventures
We were on Safari and had an excellent time with our guide Ben at Tanzania. They are very friendly and professional. They both worked hard and did their best to help us with this extraordinary safari. Jiwe adventure team replied to our emails and messages promptly, which saved us a lot of time. He is very knowledgeable and answered our questions patiently. He picked us up in the early morning from the airport when we could still see stars! I highly recommend booking your safari directly through wildlife experience Tanzania. You will be in good hands. It was a trip of a lifetime!

Great safari with great people from Jiwe adventures
We recently came from a 5 day safari and we are 100% happy to recommend Jiwe adventures to anyone. We had the most amazing safari experience and it exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Edgar was quick to respond and very helpful when our travel plans changed so we didn’t miss any safari time. Peter was the best guide, we saw the big 5 and then some. Peter is very knowledgeable and great at what he does. Our chef George was also the best we did not expect the food to be so great. Having a hot meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner was amazing and unlike any other tour company.

Amazing experience!
My family and I had a great experience with Jiwe Adventure, run by an amazing human named Edgar. Since Edgar is a local and the company is a one-man shop, it was far more affordable than Western options. It was great.
We climbed Kilimanjaro before, too. The Safari was a great reward.

Everything was superb and I cannot recommend JIWE adventures highly enough.
We hiked Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho Route and then spent 4 days on safari afterwards. Edgar was highly professional and the trio was superb. He communicated quickly anss attended to every detail. The value was excellent. The cost was very reasonable and the guides were amazing - knowledgeable, safe, fun, encouraging. The food was quite good and the porters were helpful, fun, and kind. I highly recommend hiking Kilimanjaro and taking a Safari and 100% doing both with JIWE adventures. It was truly an extraordinary experience from beginning to end.

Thank you Jiwe adventures for a well-organized safari
We booked a 7 day Tanzania Camping Safari with Jiwe Adventures and had an amazing time! We saw lots of animals very close, especially the lions have been fascinating! Besides the animals, the best part was our driver and guide Chris! He is such an awesome guy who was with us the whole time. It was like a little family for the 7 days and we where lucky to have him as a guide! Thanks for the great experience best days and especially a big thanks to Chris for being so motivated and interested in his job and in us in person! We would always book a such well organized safari with Jiwe Adventures again!

A wonderful Tanzania safari experience
We went on a five day safari organized by Edgar from Jiwe adventures. We visited three parks in the north of Tanzania which are Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with two nights in Serengeti. It was truly a wonderful safari full of fun and surprises at every turn. We had a very good guide (Nick) who is professional and loves his job, he has often told us that you have come here to enjoy your time and be happy, so when I see you happy, I feel proud. The lodges that Edgar chose for us while on the safari were beautiful with different styles and very good service. We had a nice safari vehicle with a top opening so we were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We were lucky twice to see a lion hunting and killing a zebra at serengeti and a buffalo at Ngorongoro, it was a very amazing experience and I will never forget it. When we got back to the hotel, Edgar came to meet us and we went for dinner together. In fact, he is a very good person who listens and cares.
I highly recommend Jiwe adventures for anyone looking for the best safari experience in Tanzania.
