Afrishare Beware!!
Our 5-day safari in Serengeti National Park was deeply disappointing due to serious vehicle issues that severely impacted the experience. Two out of the five days were lost to repeated car breakdowns. The vehicle provided was in poor condition, unsafe, and unreliable for long distances on safari terrain. Instead of exploring and viewing wildlife, we spent hours waiting for repairs.
This loss of time significantly reduced the value of the trip and caused unnecessary stress during what should have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A safari company should prioritize guest safety and dependable transport, especially in remote areas. Unfortunately, the condition of the vehicle and the repeated mechanical failures made this safari far below acceptable standards.
In addition, the Tour Operator of Afrishare Ibrahim, treated us with a lack of care. His exchange via messages was rude and disrespectful. His inability to show a level of understanding and care for what had happened was shocking.
The only shinning light was our guide Deo, who tried his very best to manage the situation and tried to ensure we experienced all the safari had to offer with the limited time.

Unreliable
From personal experience I recommend that you dont book with Afrishare. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Be cautious when booking with this provider Afrishare as the company owner, Ibrahim is unfortunately running a really poor business.
We booked a five day tour with him, where 2 of the 5 days the car broke down. The point of a safari is to ensure that the car takes you comfortably from point A to point B. During the first breakdown we had to jump into another tour companies vehicle and join another family for one full day and then additionally on the second incident we had to spend half the day waiting for the car to be fixed. On top of all this the itinerary for the safari was poorly planned. We did not get enough time to appropriately see the national parks, for example at the Ndutu National Park we drove there, slept and left straight away the next morning. Not allowing us to explore for animals there. It merely felt like a stop over and notnwhat was sold to us to see animals. If he was an honest business, he would understand what he put us through, especially considering that this was an anniversary trip that we had organized together and provide us a reasonable compensation. However, he was only willing to compensate for a permit, not the two days we had lost.
Ibrahim went back and forth with us and made some absurd comments on his lack of responsibility for giving us a very old rusted and clearly unfunctional car. I advise to any future Safari clients. Please do not book with him!!
Lastly one clear point I want to make is that our guide, Deo, was absolutely phenomenal in providing us such an amazing service and making sure that we were comfortable even in these difficult situations! He did his very best to make sure that he could give us the best tour with the limited time given with the car situation. If it was not for Deo, we would have canceled the trip on our 3rd day when the car broke down again with 2 new issues.

Experience of my life
We spent 6 days on safari and in contact with the culture of Tanzania, trusting Afrishare, and they were the most beautiful days of our lives so far. The most important part of this experience was our guide, Mosses, who from the first moment he picked us up from the airport until the last, did not stop taking care of our needs, our safety and of course, having fun. Although we had a car breakdown that delayed us for 3 hours, Mosses managed not to lose our day and to continue our program normally until the end. Thank you for the unforgettable experience and we hope to see you again soon!

What an amazing experience!!
We had a great experience with Afrishare! Everything was arranged perfectly, we didn’t need to worry about nothing but to enjoy the safari and see beautiful landscapes and rest in amazing hotels (try to stay at least one night in a tented camp for a unique experience - amazing starry sky with the wildlife noises throughout the night).
Special thanks to Jeff, our very skilled and professional driver in Kenya and to Okuli in Tanzania, who was very helpful and kind to us throughout our stay.

Unforgettable Lemosho Hike of Mt Kilimanjaro
I recently went on a 7 day hike of Lemosho route with Ibrah and Afrishare. We had an unbelievable experience that I will never forget. There was plenty of communication beforehand to make sure we were well prepared for what we would experience. I forget to get Daimox (I would highly recommend) before I arrived, so Ibrah graciously took me to a local pharmacy to acquire some. The hike itself was amazing. We actually ended up completing it in 5 days instead of the scheduled 7 due to us choosing to go on to the next camps a handful of times. The views were absolutely breathtaking and if you are a stargazer, you will not be disappointed. If it weren't for the cold at night, I could have sat outside and stared at the stars for hours. It was a very physically and mentally taxing hike, but the overall experience was more than worth it. Ibrah and his team were very attentive, and more than happy to accommodate with all reasonable requests (We brought along our own private portable toilet!). I am extremely grateful to both Ibrah and Afrishare for making this such an incredible experience and I would highly recommend others to reach out to them if you are looking for a Kili hike or safari.

Exciting and comfortable
I had a great experience with Afrishare. The tour was exciting and comfortable - the guides, Jeff and Okuli made the experience better. Accommodations were 5 star, food is good and transports were comfortable. Jeff went extra miles, looking for animals all over the safari so he could take pictures for his daughter - felt like a travelling buddy too!
Ibrahim made the trip smooth too with the efficient communication.
Recommended!
The best guides
We had a wonderful experience! The lodges they booked for us were incredible, we saw many animals, and the best part for us were the guides! Moses and Jeff were two of the most kind and welcoming people we have met we are so grateful they were our guides. It truly made the safari experience that much more top tier.

AMAZING Safari! Thank you Afrishare for making our trip so special!
Truly an AMAZING experience! We could not have had asked for a better trip. A safari is a BIG trip with a lot of moving parts and variables (especially when traveling with kids), and Afrishare made it easy. From the very first interactions with Ibriham, who customized our trip to exactly where we wanted to go, what we wanted to see, and in what type of places we wanted to stay, Afrishare made the entire experience effortless. Everything was handled down to the smallest detail. We wanted to see A LOT in just seven days, and Afrishare made it happen. Our party of 7, including 4 children, flew into Nairobi and were greeted with a warm welcome. We then headed up to the Maisaa Mara with our guides Geofrey and Chris (who were our guides for the Kenya portion of our trip). Both Geofrey and Chris spoke impeccable English and were very kind and knowledgeable of the area and the animals. Geofrey even managed to find all the big 5 in our very first day of the Safari (we still cannot believe that he was able to spot that rhino!)
After a few days in the Mara, we then headed over to the Northern Serengeti, where we met up with our new guides Okuli and Moses (who were our guides for the Tanzania portion of our trip). Okuli and Moses were absolutely amazing!!!!! They were so fun, knowledgeable (they also spoke perfect English), kind, great with the kids, and just really fun to be around. They guided us through the Central and Southern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park for the next four days to so many amazing sights. They always seemed to know just where to find the animals and were very patient with our many requests for pictures and stops.
All of the camps that Afrishare booked for us throughout our journey were also top notch. And, when our return flight home was cancelled the morning that we were supposed to depart, our guides were able to recommend and book us into another amazing lodge. Okuli and Moses did not hesitate to help us navigate our delay by ensuring that we had a place to stay and transportation to the airport the next day.
I really cannot recommend Afrishare more. They more than exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely use Afrishare for any future travel to East Africa. The kids are already asking when we can go back to Africa. We truly feel like we now have friends in Africa. Thank you Afrishare for making our trip so special!
