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!

I had an amazing time on the safari. From the guide to the places we slept overnight and the animals we saw. It was a spectacular experience! Once in a lifetime!

Best value safari ever
5/5

From the first encounter I have had with Ibrahim I liked him a lot. We e-mailed a lot for 4-5 months before the trip to make sure everything would be exactly what we wanted. He is kind, generous and flexible. He was waiting for us in Kilimanjaro airport (event though our flight was 3 hours late) and we stayed in a nice private house in Moshi with delicious local food served. I travelled with my 3 kids and had booked a 3-day safari with overnight stay in tent. I was a bit worried that we would be squeezed into a minibus for the safari (because the price was much lower than the other companies) but we were comfortably suited in a huge Landcruiser only the four of us! Our driver Hutch was excellent and extremely kind. The safaris was to Tarangire, Ngongoro Crater and Lake Manyara and we saw all of the big 5 several times. We stayed in tents in a lodge with excellent food and very nice people.
I can highly recommend Mr Ibrahim and Afrishare Trekking for your next safari experience!! Next time will be Serengetti and Kilimanjaro Climb!!

Wonderful experience!
5/5

My two friends and I booked excursions through Afrishare solutions and had an absolutely wonderful time! They came as a recommendation from a friend and I will be the first to pass along the good word as well! Ibrah was very helpful during the booking process, suggesting itineraries for the amount of time we had and what we wanted to see before we got to Africa. He was extremely responsive in this process, which made booking a seamless transaction. While on the safari, the guides were very knowledgeable, really engaging and fun to talk to! They knew great driving routes to maximize the amount of wildlife we could see, which made the three days go be too quickly. We decided to do a day hike on Mt. Kilamanjaro the night before and Ibrah was able to turn it around for an early morning departure in just a few hours. The service at Afrishare solutions is wonderful, and I highly recommend booking with them. To the staff, thank you for making our trip a truly unforgettable experience!

Fantastic Safari
5/5

My safari experience with Afrishare is hard to put into words. My safari was a five day trip that included both Ngorongoro and Serengeti as well as a great experience with a local Masai tribe. It was a wonderful experience that included seeing cheetahs, leopards, and lions due to our great guide along with delicious meals prepared by our cook. One of the highlights of my trip was camping out on the edge of Ngorongoro crater that was topped of by a friendly visit from a wild elephant during supper time. I would absolutely recommend Afrishare Safari's to anyone who is hoping to experience a great experience with no speed bumps.

Best Kili trek
5/5

We had a fantastic 6 day (5 night) trek via the Marangu route with Afrishare. The guides, Tino and Kija were absolutely fantastic. They went a perfect pace up for us and let us lead the pace down. They always looked out for us and helped us successfully make it to the peak. We couldn't have asked for better guides, cook or porters. The only feedback we had was that we rented equipment (sleeping bags, rain pants and winter jackets) and the rain pants were completely ripped by the end and the sleeping bags weren't the best quality for the cold weather. If at all possible (and Ibrahim recommends this) bring your own gear or double check all rental items. Other than that we would recommended Afrishare if you want a successful Kili climb and have guides that really care! Furthermore the value of service for the cost is hard to beat. Ibrahim the owner always communicated back and answered all questions, great guy. We all met prior to accepting the offer, went over all trek details, what was included and any gear that was missing. We were glad to have the gear rentals for the summit day. Ibrahim also advised on any tipping guidelines before setting off, instead of the guides pestering us with it. We saw many guides do this, not ours. Perfect management, great team, no surprises. Anyone looking for a budget trek without sacrificing quality - go with Afrishare.

The time of my life!
5/5

Afrishare was a reliable, friendly and value-for-money company for safari. I went with a group of 5 in an open-top Safari vehicle on a three day trip to - Lake Manyara, Ngorogoro Crater and the Tarangire National Park. Ibrahim (the manager) was exceptionally friendly and easy to talk to. It was very easy to organise a fabulous trip and at fairly short notice. Our tour guide, Freddie was a lovely chap and exceptionally informative about the animals, knowing exactly where to take us to in order to get the most out of our three day safari - so much so that we were able to see all of the BIG FIVE! Afrishare chose a wonderful camp site for two nights to stay at, which was not too far away from any of the National Parks. We had beautiful meals and we able to meet other people keen to share their safari stories. We even had the opportunity to talk to and dance with a small Masai community on our day to the Ngorogoro Crater, which was a once in a lifetime activity. Overall I would highly recommend Afrishare to anybody who was thinking of going on Safari, it was my favourite activity in Tanzania, and at a reasonable price too.
