outstanding safari trip in Tanzania
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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!

Amazing Safari Experience!
5/5

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!!!

Mt Kilimanjaro Climb
5/5

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.

Trek to Kilimanjaro - The best experience of our life !
5/5

We chose Afrishare for both trekking Mt Kilimanjaro and do the safari. Ibrah and his fantastic team were brilliant through out our 11 day trip to Tanzania. We summited Kili with Kijaji our guide and his really strong crew. The trek up the mountain was very educational and very interesting because Kijaji and Alfred (assistant guide) shared a vast amount of interesting information. Our dietary restrictions were kept in mind even under the harshest conditions in the camps which was incredible ! The only reason my brother and I even made it to the summit was because of the encouragement, support and unwillingness to give up by the crew. I would strongly recommend anyone who wishes to summit Kilimanjaro to come here for the best experience !

After the 7 days Machame route to Kilimanjaro, we did a 3 day Safari with Afrishare. This was an experience of a lifetime. Fredy our guide and driver was brilliant and Heaven Nature the resort we stayed was beautiful. A special mention of the most polite staff that I have ever met in all my travels. They all together ensured that we had the best experience.

We had an opportunity to meet a lot of exciting and interesting people. To bask in all the warmth of local people and fall in love with Tanzania ! Hope to make it back here again soon.

Ibrah, Fredy, Kijaji and everyone at Afrisahre THANK YOU !

Amazing 3 day safari Tarangire - Ngorongoro - Manyara
5/5

I went with my girlfriend and 4 friends on this amazing trip with Afrishare. It couldn't have been any better I think.I can't mention one negative thing about the 3 days... the car was very spacious, a bit old-skool and cozy. Our driver/guide was funny, although he did not give super much extra information, he did a really good job. Food was delicious, and so so much! We also had such good sleeping places and beds in 'Heaven Nature', and there was hot water 24/24 which is so luxurious. We had fun all the time. And of course the national parks are amazing, with Ngorongoro seeming like a miracle when there are no clouds and no mist (we were lucky). Also the 2 other parks are great. The best thing maybe is the variation between the 3 parks, so you're never bored! We spotted any possible animal I think, except of the leopard. I could recommend Afrishare to everyone, and especially this safari. My next step will be visiting Serengeti one day. I don't know when, but I'm already sure it will be with Afrishare.

Awesome Experience!
5/5

We booked for a trek to Mt Kilimanjaro and a 3 day safari with Afrishare. The entire trip of 11 days was excellent! The trek was flawless! The entire team of 12 support staff (Guides, Cook and Porters) were awesome! The BEST team ever! They were very prompt with their service and helped us to get to the summit! They even went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. I would very highly recommend the Guides - Kijaji and Alfred and their team for any trek with Afrishare. They not just take care of you very well, but also provide lot of insights into the flora and fauna on the trek! Very knowledgeable people. Our Cook - Cosmos was fantastic and he always had something special everyday!

The Safari was also organized very well. Our guide and driver Fredy was awesome with spotting wildlife! He is also very knowledgeable and ensured we got to see the maximum wildlife during our trip.

Ibrahim is an excellent host! He provided us with accommodation which was comfortable and the food served at the campus was excellent!

Overall, I would recommend Afrishare for not just doing treks and safari, but also to get an experience of staying in Tanzania with locals! Thank you Ibrahim.. I am already dreaming of my next vacation with you guys!! :)

My African Experience
5/5

My trip to Tanzania back in 2010 was by far one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I still talk about it all the time to this day. I stayed with Afrishare for almost 4 months and loved every minute of it. Ibrah and others made sure we were 100% taken care of the whole time. Set us up on a Safari, a trip to Zanzibar, showed us around Tanzania and its culture. Best part about Afrishare was the close relationships made with everyone involved. They are all truly lifelong friends and I can never thank them enough for the life experience they provided me while I was there. Thank you Ibrah and Afrishare!
