They were a confident, positive, and knowledgeable crew, and made our experience fun and memorable
5/5

My son and I summited Mount Kilimanjaro this April with Mafie Adventures, and it was an experience we’ll never forget.

There were moments when the challenge felt like more than I was capable of, but thanks to our guides, Oliver and Matthew, they carried us through by encouraging us, and singing with us, and generally keeping our mindsets strong every step of the way. Their belief in us made all the difference.

What truly set this journey apart, though, was the entire team behind the scenes. The porters, the cook, the summit porter, and Mudi—who greeted us with meals morning and night—were all just as essential to our success. Their energy, kindness, and camaraderie created something special. The songs, the laughter, and the genuine friendships we formed along the way became as meaningful as reaching the summit itself.

If you’re considering taking on Kilimanjaro, you won’t find a better team than Mafie Adventures. They are authentic, caring, and full of heart—with a great sense of humor to match. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

An absolute trip of a lifetime with unforgettable memories that I will cherish forever!
5/5

A truly unforgettable experience! Mafie made my dream come true. I had been dreaming of climbing this mountain for a couple of years, and from the very beginning, Erastus was always available—day or night—to answer any questions or concerns I had about the trip.

He made everything clear, from pricing to the crew to choosing the right number of days, ensuring that my father and I had the best possible chance for a successful summit and an incredible experience. On top of that, the value for what we paid was exceptional—honestly far beyond what we expected for the level of service and care we received.

We were beyond satisfied with the entire team. With two guides, a cook, and nine porters, everyone felt like family by the end of the journey. We truly would not have made it to the summit without them.

Oliver and Matthew were outstanding—extremely knowledgeable about the mountain and always making the right decisions based on how we were feeling each day. The food was absolutely incredible, far exceeding our expectations. And the porters were amazing—always smiling, offering fist bumps as they passed us, and somehow arriving ahead of us at camp to have everything perfectly set up.

Honestly, the whole team felt superhuman with their strength, positivity, and constant support. Nothing was ever done halfway; it was the best hospitality I’ve ever experienced in my life.

If you’re considering climbing Kilimanjaro, going on safari, or doing any expedition in northern Tanzania, I would 1000000% recommend this company. Mafie is truly exceptional at what they do.

Mafie are very accommodating and helpful on all aspects of your trip!
5/5

I did a 6 day Kilimanjaro climb and a 4 day safari with Mafie in March 2026. Everything was well organised including the hotel before and after each event and I always had a driver waiting for me whether it was from the airport or from/to my hotel from safari or Kilimanjaro. My Kilimanjaro guide Oliver, chef and porters were excellent and I couldn’t have asked any more of them they made sure I was comfortable and healthy during the whole trip. My safari guide was also very knowledgeable and I saw all the animals I wanted to see even in low season. Overall my experience with Mafie was 10/10 and I would highly recommend.

A punctual, reliable and overall perfect experience
5/5

We had a lovely one day trip to Ngorongoro crater with Mafie Adventures. We got picked up on time and arrived at the safari car who left right away. No waiting time!
Before entering the crater we had a warm breakfast and later a healthy lunch at a picnic site.
I forgot my glasses in the car after a long day and Mafie Adventures sent them to Mwanza within 24 hours. Overall a perfect experience and no complains from us!

Absolutely amazing experience - would definitely recommend, no complaints!!
5/5

Me and my partner did the 5-days Kilimanjaro tour combined with 4-days Safari with Mafie and we had an absolutely fantastic experience in every dimension!

Communication in advance of the trip was great and very responsive. During the Kilimanjaro tour we had amazing guides (Oliver and Richard) who were extremely knowledgeable and caring and made us feel safe from the first second! Our health was checked every evening and we could even change the trip from 6 to 5 days while we were on the road because we felt it’s the better option. You could tell that the team was genuinely focused on providing the best experience possible to us. Also the service at the camps was much better than what we would have expected: the food was super delicious and abundant and we received tea / coffee as much as needed to warm up.
During the Safari we had a fantastic guide (Praygod) who explained wildlife very well to us and made us see incredible wildlife scenes and animals. The accommodations and lodges were super nice and special (eg a lodge in the middle of the Serengeti with elephants next to the room) and the food and service were outstanding!

I would definitely book again with Mafie and would recommend it to everyone!

An Amazing Experience
5/5

I booked the 8 day Lemosho Kilimanjaro trip and a 3 day Safari including the Serengeti and Ngorongoro as a solo trip with Mafie Adventures and was not disappointed. Anaeli, the guide I had was knowledgable and friendly, the crew were also very welcoming, and the daily meals were great. We successfully made it to the summit on day 5 and I was even given a couple of rest days at a hotel since I finished the trekk earlier than planned. The safari experience was also good, taking me around Serengeti and Ngorongoro and having the opportunity to see all sorts of wildlife. Meals were very good. Start to finish, from airport transfers, to accommodation before and after the mountain and safari, everything went smoothly and allowed me to have an incredible experience in a country with a lot to offer the adventurous explorer wanting to get away from it all. I did what I wanted to do and managed to do it at a cheaper price than other operators were quoting, I would recommend Mafie Adventures.

Professional services
5/5

We booked our 5-day safari adventure with Mafie Adventures few months in advance. We started in Tarangire, then Lake Manyara, 2 days in Serengeti and we ended up in Ngorongoro national park. Since we arrived in Arusha airport until they dropped us off back at the airport we felt treated very respectfully by professionals who know what they do. Our guide, Samwel, made sure we do not miss anything during our adventure and we hit the Big 5 making tons of memories for a life time. We remain with such nice photos than even National Geographic would envy us. Big Thank you! as well to the ladies in the back office who arranged everything so we don’t miss anything. The accomodations during our trip were great, we found a state-of-art vegetable garden at “Heart & Soul” Lodge (close to Manyara Lake) from where they were preparing the meals for their guests. When we will come back, definitely we will call again Mafie Adventures for more fun. Keep doing what you do! We felt fantastic!
