Amazing Kili hike and 4 day safari
We had an amazing holiday with Afrishare - a combination of a 7 day Kilimanjaro hike for myself and my 16 year old son, and then a 4 day safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater for the whole family after my wife and other son had flown out to join us. In all of it Afrishare organised everything perfectly, from the fundamentals of the hike and the safari through to all the interconnecting transfers. We made the decision to go with a local Tanzanian company rather than some big international tour operator, and do not regret that decision at all. Right from day one, Ibrahim and team were very responsive (do they ever sleep?!) answering my endless questions and tweaking the itinerary so it was exactly as we wanted. They then delivered. Good value for us but also hopefully more money going into the local economy.
The Kili hike was the 7 day Machame route. The team taking us up were great, had all the required kit, and looked after us well. It was hard going but we made it to the summit and have amazing memories and sense of achievement.
The safari in the Serengeti was amazing - we saw the big 5, including 46 lions in 2-3 days, and a cheetah and cubs a few metres away. Through it all our guide Kazi, was fantastic - really knowledgeable about the animals and conservation more widely, also good fun (which is important when you have 4 full days together!).
I would definitely recommend Afrishare.

Fantastic trip of a lifetime
Afrishare provided us with a trip of a lifetime at a reasonable price. Our tour guide, Mosses, was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, a good driver, had good language skills, very friendly and a looked out for our safety at all times. Besides showing us the animals he provided cultural activities as well. I would highly recommend Afrishare.

Excellent Experience
I was part of a large group and the tour guides were excellent in ensuring that we all had a memorable experience. I have wanted to go on a safari for a long time and Afrishare made it a very positive and memorable experience. The meals they served were excellent with more than enough food. The vehicles were comfortable and made it easy to see the animals. And we did see an abundance of animals. This was an experience I won't forget.

Wonderful Experience in East Africa
I looked at SafariBookings because the site gave me the convenience of so many options -- all in one place. I got several quotes and worked with Afrishare to put my custom, private safari together. They were very flexible and offered a fair price. I took my son on what was - for us - a real 'bucket list' vacation: an 8-day safari to Kenya & Tanzania. From start to finish, Afrishare took care of everything. They were courteous, professional and flexible -- even making changes during our trip. Our drivers/guides (Robert in Kenya & Okuli in Tanzania) were everything we could have hoped for. They even taughts us a little Swahili and helped explain so many things about Africa beyond just the safari experience.
The game drives were simply amazing....from seeing hippos, zebras -- and literally being in the middle of tens of thousands of wildebeests during the Great Migration, this was a special trip indeed. I have fabulous photos of lions and elephants -- just a few feet from our safari vehicle! One day, there was a mix-up with lunch but Ibrahim and Okuli took us to a local African restaurant (no charge) and we got to eat like 'real Africans' -- it was an unplanned, but unforgettable experience. The Maasai Mara and the Serengeti were incredible experiences, but the smaller parks (Ngorongoro and Tarangire) were even more intimate and special with chances to see more animals closer than I'd thought possible. Note that the roads in the game reserves are all unpaved and can be extremely bumpy at times -- but that's part of the experience! Some of the days can be long! The accommodations were just as promised and very nice. The private experience was something that I previously would have pegged at twice the cost. You can check out other options, but my son and I were quite pleased with Afrishare. I strongly recommend them.

Trip of a life time
Our group of seven explored the Serengeti 3 days and the Ngorongoro crater 1. Our tour guide Moses was the reason for making this such a memorable trip. His experience and keen sense allowed us to be at the right place at the right time to see the most amazing things. Moses is very knowledgeable about the animals and the environment we were seeing, he answered all our many questions. We felt safe and had a lot of fun.
When we first booked this tour I imagined we would see a few big animals if we were lucky but this tour went way above my expectations. We saw many animals such as elephants, lions giraffes, hippos, hyenas, leopards, Chita, wildebeests, zebras and more. Every day we explored we saw something new that amazed us all.
We will talk about this trip for many years to come and recommend this, tour and guide, to everyone.
Thank you Moses for such a wonderful experience.

Moses was amazing.
Our group had an amazing experience on this safari. Our guide Moses made this adventure absolutely memorable. We were wowed by seeing the majestic animals in their natural habitat. Moses was excellent, he listened to what experiences we wanted to have and made them happen. He made us feel safe, he was very knowledgeable, kind and a lot of fun.
This safari was an amazing experience that we will talk about for years to come. We did successfully see the big 5.
Thank you and we would recommend this trip to anyone that enjoys nature and seeing beautiful creatures.

Well organized safari and very helpful
We booked a 3 day/2 nights safari to Nyerere National Park (Selous). The safari it self was well organized with a boat trip, nature walk and jeep safari in the park. We stayed at Selous Jimbiza Camp just at the river which was amazing.
We had trouble with a delayed flight and they helped us out with an alternative flight very short notice, so excellent service.

Saw all Big 5!!
We took 5 day 4 Nights safari with Afrishare. We spent 3 days in Serengeti and rest of the time in Ngorogoro... thanks to the expertise of the guide provided by Afrishare we could see all Big 5 including Rhino. As luck would have it we saw - 6 Rhinos. 5 Chitahs, 3-4 Leopards and countless Lions. Somehow the guide @Moses had knack and patience to take us to the right areas where animals can be seen. Some sessions were not so good but he stuck to the task. The food cooked and served by @Rafiqi was great. He surprised us by serving pasta, pizza in middle of the jungle. Too good. Kudos to @Ibrahim to put together such a team.
We did have a hiccup on the way. The vehicle had gear box problem. The replacement vehicle took a while but the team made up for the lost time!!

Best safari experience
I gave my fiancé the 5-Day safari tour organized by Afrishare for his 30th birthday, and it was the best decision, we had the best time! Everything was very well organized, and the guides were really great! We had Francis in Kenya and Rama in Tanzania and we learned so much from both of them - thanks again!
The accommodations on the safari were safe, clean and in beautiful and convenient locations. I cannot eat gluten and it was not an issue at all, I still got really tasty meals everywhere!
We had to postpone the safari from the original dates due to health reasons but Ibrahim handled everything perfectly. He was always available to chat and help with any question/issue we had, so i always felt well taken care of.
We will definitely book our future africe tours with this company again as we can trust they will take care of us well!
