A professional and customer-centered local tour company, you worth it.
5/5

African Traces was introduced to us by a friend from a social platform when we had a sudden idea to climb the Mount Kilimanjaro. After inquiring several different agencies including both Chinese and local ones in terms of price and professional services, we made a quick decision on following African Traces. Meanwhile, the more we got in touch with its boss Marko Mtui, the more touched and warms we felt on this nice man, a faithful Christian and considerative & experienced African tourist services provider.
The trekking guiding team, including guides, a cook and porters and all equipments from African Traces are all perfect and highly qualified. The team members are plain, capable and warmhearted. Thanks to their helps, we finally stood on the top of the African lands and enjoyed that attactive and splendid view, sunrise, clouds sea, glaciers, the power of nature, the spirits of brave and persistancy, so on and so forth.
Special thanks to our guide Kenny (spelt based on the pronounciation) who accompanied us the most, sharing 6-day memorable tortuous but happy journey, we talked about different lifes and hobbies, listened to each other's music lists, and encouraged a lot.
Hope African Traces continue to be a good and even the top tourist agency in Kilimanjaro, in Tazania, in East Africa to serve more and more clients from all over the world with its upmost sincere and quality. Hope people there live a better life. Hope Kenny achieve his goals. Hope everyone who climbs Kilimanjaro find and get what you want.

Unforgettable Travel
5/5

After comparing several suppliers and selecting a company from Marko, we communicated in detail about the itinerary and printed a copy to carry with me before going. This kilomanjaro trip was really unforgettable. The professional guide team arranged by Mark showed great care and attention to me throughout the entire process, which also reflected their professionalism. The various beautiful scenery seen during the mountaineering, as well as the infinite joy of standing on the mountaintop, may only be experienced after experiencing it
Mark is very responsible and even came down the mountain to celebrate together. I was very happy. Later days We also communicated and made arrangements in advance to make it Make it interesting。

Really good and wonderful experience with African Traces.
5/5

Our safari was a 5-day trip. Marko helped us arranged it. Marko is really responsible and every time reply to me with a fast speed. Even helped us to get the SIM card. William was our guide, he is really gentle, friendly, and kind. He knows every detail of the animals, the culture and the traditions. He was taking care of us every time and he is really cared for everyone. Besides, William’s driving skill is perfect. We spent a wonderful time with African traces. We saw all the animals we want to see. My father even said he wanted yo stay in Tanzania for a longer time. We will definitely introduce our trip to the friends.

Unforgettable Kilimanjaro climb via the 6-day Machame route
5/5

I’m glad I chose African traces for my Kilimanjaro climb via the 6-day Machame route. Marko, the owner, was very responsive throughout the planning phase and made modifications up until the last moments to make sure all my expectations were met. In all, I couldn’t have asked for a better crew of people to help me reach the summit. The porters were simply incredible—making sure camp was meticulously set up before my arrival everyday. It was impossible to go hungry with the endless array of food and the many memorable soups prepared by the chef. My guide was knowledgeable and worked well with the rest of the crew. He even helped carry my daypack when i struggled on summit day, which made all the difference. In addition to receiving my tips, it was great to witness all the members of the team get their salaries during the giving ceremony. I had read stories prior to my trip about the exploitative practices of some of the tour companies, and was happy to know I chose a company that valued the efforts of the amazing crew. If I ever make it back for another Kilimanjaro climb or safari trip or Zanzibar beach vacation, I will definitely be using African Traces. Thank you for getting me to the top and back. Asante sana.

Amazing trip!! Friendly private safari❤️
5/5

A few months have passed, and I am still immersed in a happy and wonderful safari trip, with beautiful grasslands, lazy lions, and clever zebras... I am very grateful to the enthusiastic Marko, who planned based on my needs and patiently answered my questions. On the day of the safari, he also gave us perfect solutions for our temporary changes in accommodation needs. During the 4-day trip, the accommodations were great, the vehicles were great, and our guide David was the best, he was the best in the Serengeti. Every time he took us to the best place to see the animals. He was so experienced that he could even smell lions in the air and lead us to look for them along the way. There is also a nice sense of ritual. At the rest stop, other people's lunches are boxed fast food, but we enjoy our lunch with fresh food, red tablecloths, wine glasses, and the envious eyes of other passengers ~ Thank you David. When we return to China, we often share with friends everything we have seen in Tanzania. I love it so much!! Miss it!!! I hope to return to the Serengeti. For new travelers, you must choose African Traces for safari!!! you will not regret it!
