Awesome safari in Serengeti!
The experience of a 5-day safari in Tanzania with Afrishare was absolutely amazing. Everything was organized by Ibrahim in a perfect way: transport, accommodations, meals, beverages. Our guide Haji was excellent in meeting all our needs during game drives! With his experience of more than 10 years in this job, he was able to drive us in the perfect locations and spot animals from far away; he explained us many things and curiosities about the different species we saw and he respected our requests for time while taking photos, being always very professional, serious, available but also nice and friendly. Thanks to his skills and patience we managed to see, besides many kind of animals, the “big five”, including two wonderful black rhinos! The vehicle was also comfortable and spacious for two people, the packed lunches were good and all dinners and breakfasts in the lodges and tented camps were simple but really tasty and genuine. We must say that our experience with Afrishare exceeded by far our expectations on a safari!

Wonderful four park, six day safari, big 5 and so much more
We just returned from a great safari/family reunion in Tanzania. Using two vehicles Afrishare took us to Tarangire, the Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, staying in great lodging along the way. Our experienced guides/drivers Fred and Hadji managed to put us in front of an amazing variety of animals, including the big 5, and safely transport us from park to park. They were very knowledgeable about the wildlife, the parks, and the country in general. The entire family had an awesome experience.
Well organized Kili trekking
We took the Machame route to climb the Kili and it was a really nice experience. We were picked up at our hotel by the team of Afrishare and after the Kili we also got dropped of at the hotel. Afrishare had good equipment and our guides were really nice and professional. During our trekking we could always stop for taking pictures or to ask questions about animals and plants around us. They also had always a look at all of our group and when some of us were faster than other it was possible to split the group.
Also our porters were really friendly and they always offered help.
It was also incredible to see how the cook was preparing all the nice meals with so less things. We always had a lot of nice food.
All in all I can really recommend the Kili Trekking with Afrishare trekking and safaris!

outstanding safari trip in Tanzania
After arrival at the airport we met our driver and guide the first time. FREDDY was his name and he showed us a wonderful world of wildlife within the following 6 days. Every evening he explained us what's comming up at the following day and he took care that we have seen the big 5 and much more. After an experience of 10 years game drive he is well linked with most guides. He is the best ever. He drives safely and takes care about what you like to see and how long.
The booking via Afrishare Trekking & Safaris was very easy and we are recommending the company for everybody to work with. Ibrahim, he manages the office replies as quick as possible and gives you all hands you need. A very trustfull company.

Amazing experience and a very exciting trip!
We went to a 7 days safari trip in this year’s thanksgiving week. The weather was beautiful, comfortable during the day time and a little bit chilly in the evening, so you do need a jacket. This operator has competitive price. The trip can be tailored to accommodate your interests, very flexible . Our guide/driver Fredy is very experienced and hard working young guy. He would do extra efforts and drive extra miles in the game drives to take us to see all different kinds of animals. November is a short rain season in Serengeti National Park area, but don’t worry, it only rained 2 nights in the week when we were there and some drizzles in one day, but gave us an opportunity to see a small scale of migration, because some zebras and wild beasts migrated back to Tanzania. Even a small scale of a migration, there were thousands of animals and the dust stirred by animals can be seen miles away. We were really amazed. Another breathtaking scene was 4 lions, 1 female and 3 males, came to the road and walked with us. If I dared I could touch the hair of one male who passed by just outside our window. Also we were happy with all the hotels/ tent we stayed. Excellent food and very friendly people and good services. I just wanted to say we had wonderful time over there and truly appreciated Fredy’s efforts to make every day very exciting for us.

Absolutely amazing experience with Afrishare
We went to a week Safari in a family of 3, and had such an amazing time!
Thanks to the owner Ibrahim and our guide Fredy! Ibrahim was really nice and Fredy is gifted in finding animals from far. We will not be able have such an amazing trip without their efforts. Serengeti is our favorite after whole week's safari.
This is definitely our favorite family trip by far. We would recommend Afrishare to anyone that's looking for a memorable trip in Tanzania!

Guide + Lodges excellent, vehicle catastrophic
The Safari tour was very well organized, the company delivered everything that was promised. Innocent our driver and guide was excellent. Accommodation was very good, especially Tortilis Camp. The heavy set back was that vehicle - quite old, holes in the bottom pannel, leaking wheaterstripping - even if all windows were closed the dust came into the car, our suitcases were dusty inside - on top of that one gearbox damage and 2 tire blow-outs.
Conclusion: Have a closer look first before climbing the vehicle.

Amazing Safari Experience!
We had an amazing Safari and the best trip with help from Ibrahim. He organized a great 5day safari for us, to have the ultimate stay when in Tanzania. Ibrahim is very friendly, quick to response and very service minded. We were very happy to choose Afrishare as everything was well organized and would really recommend this to anybody who is considering a Safari. We would definitely book via Afrishare again for next Safari. Also, during our Safari, our driver Fredy, was an excellent guide with eyes to spot animals from very far and did everything for us to have a great trip, which we did. Would defiantly highlight to have Fredy as a guide!!!

Great value for money
I went with a friend for a 3-day Kilimanjaro + 4-day safari tour in Tarangire, Serengeti, Nogorongoro. Ibrahim was very responsive from the beggining, quickly replying emails. He himself picked us up from the airport. We did not bring all the appropriate clothing (hiking boots, rain trousers) to climb Kili, but were able to rent it thanks to them. The staff is very nice and helpful.
What they could do better: provide complete information about price (sudden changes in VAT increased final price and we learned about this only upon arrival), train guides to provide us with more information about places, animals, etc., be ready for special meal requirements (I got sick and was not able to eat the usual menu, but was not offered alternatives).

Mt Kilimanjaro Climb
Afrishare organised a 6-day climb to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro for a group of three friends. From the very first email enquiry, we were re-assured by their timely communication, helpful advice for packing, recommendations on the best route to take based on our skill levels.
Once on the ground, we were provided with a detailed audit of our trekking gear with advice and guidance from our two guides on how to approach the mountain (pole pole as they say in Swahili). We met the guides and a couple of the porters a couple of days before-hand and this helped to no end.
The trip itself was very well organised. The support provided on the trek itself was superb. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and skilled - providing advice, tips, identified birds, animals and plants along the way and shared stories of the history of the mountain and the surrounding countryside.
A lot of the porters spoke English and even those that didn't were happy to have a friendly chat.
The food was delicious and freshly made with our very own mess tent set up in advance at every camp site. Appetisers consisted of popcorn and ginger snaps which was *delightfully* welcome at more than 3000m above sea level. We were very well fed throughout with hearty soups, fresh food (fried chicken, toasties, fish fillets, rice, spaghetti) made all the more impressive because all the food had to be lugged up the mountain.
Ibrahim, Kija, Goodluck and the rest of the crew were a great set of people to travel with and we'd do this again in future.
