16 Days Uganda Wildlife Super Safari for one person only
The preparation for the safari took Jackie and me nearly a year. During this time and also later on the manager answered on emails and
questions always unusual fast. In about fifty years I haven'' t found such a safe and loyal travel agency wether in Africa nor in Europe.
The safari was so well prepared that we haven' t had any problems within 16 days. For transportation I had a 4x4 wheel driven Toyota
landcruiser with a driver and at the same time a safari guide, who knew his job best. Sometimes without any signs he mastered the most
difficult tracks and roads. Crossing the NP'´ s in Uganda he mostly knew where the animals were. Very often his colleges were following our
car and had the luck to watch lions in a tree, a smaller leopard in a bush or a fish eagle loosing twice the fish in front of our car. Martin was
an excellent and safe driver, who took care of me, that it was not necessary for me to eat meat. Jackie, the manager, got in touch with her driver
every day and made her inquiries about our safari. The hotels and lodges we have chosen together were all moderate and in a clean
condition. At no time I felt unwell or unsafe. Uganda has a lot of friendly and helpful people. My expectations of this country, especially
landscapes and people, were better than expected. Once more my thanks to a very safe and loyal company.
Always felt we were in good hands with people who cared that we had a wonderful experience
This is my 2nd experience with Gladiola. I really like the fact that they are own by a Tanzanian. The owner and staff are extremely caring and rightfully so, very proud of their country. All details are seen to. They work hard to design the type of safari that is best for you. Their prices are less inflated than some other companies, presenting good value. The driver/guide that has now led our tours twice is an outstanding person and guide. They are a young company and still getting familiar with all the lodgings, so let them know if you are not certain about anything in particular on your itinerary. Their vehicles are kept in very good shape (extremely important!!!) and their driving is very safe - again, this is so important (I've travelled in Africa many, many times.....) I strongly recommend them!
Professional & timely
The experience was exceptional.
Time was kept. They did our transfers from & to the airport's & the hotels.
The drivers were professional.
They drove well & the cars were very clean.
No complaint from me.
Kind regards.

Seven Days on Kilimanjaro and Five days safari with Kilimanjaro Brothers
My daughter and I just completed a seven day climb of Kilimanjaro and a five day Safari with Kilimanjaro Brothers. We have received excellent service preparing our climbing. The care for our wellbeing and support were patient, friendly and perfect and we always felt safe. I remember the sentence "pole, pole, just a few meters than there is the peak" hahaaa.
The guides (Maroa and Massawe) were truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations in every way. Their concern for our health and welfare and in helping us to achieve our goal was top-notch. The food on the climb was far better than we expected.
Also five days on safari with Kilimanjaro brothers was a once in a lifetime experience for us. We visited both the Manyara National park, Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The food too was good and accommodations that arranged perfect.
Thank you George and Kilimanjaro Brothers team for making this a truly unforgettable experience! The excellent experience with the service provided by the company. I would highly recommend their service!

Once in a lifetime experience
Snow Africa did an incredible job putting together an amazing safari without much lead time. They were responsive, flexible, and professional. A friend of mine recommended Snow Africa, and I'm so glad they did! My parents and I did a 5 day safari to Ngorongoro crater, Manyara, with 2 days in Serengeti + bonus lazy Saturday in Arusha.
We stayed in amazing tented lodges along the way. Each day was filled with incredible game drives. Our guide/driver Lorry was funny, knowledgeable and very flexible when we rolled out of bed a bit late. We kept looking at each other and saying it was a once in a lifetime experience. We saw hippos (my favorite), cheetahs, a leopard, many lions, and even saw a genet!
It was amazing!

The best safari experience ever!
We changed our minds about 10 times about what kind of trip we would like to do, but Monametsi had an option to all our ideas at an affordable price. We decided on 3 tours in the end both game and water safaris. His communication was excellent, he accommodated all our meal requirements and made the whole safari experience unforgettable. They were on time, provided excellent food and blankets for the chilly mornings during the trips.
Ben is the best safari guide ever, he really went the extra mile to find and show as many animals as possible. And we saw a lot! He also shared interesting facts about the wildlife.
If you plan to go to Bostwana, I would highly recommend Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions, you won't be disappointed. I will definitely be back once again!

Happy to meet Kilimanjaro Brothers team Fantastic
George the owner made himself very available for planning and was available constantly in contact with, throughout via WhatsApp and Email the days before our trip for any last minute planning. He gave very speedy replies and was very efficient even though we made multiple changes throughout the planning of the trip. He's as eager and willing to arrange your trip as he seems!
We were very happy to meet George and the team who picked us from the Airport to a hotel in Moshi. Where we were introduced to our guide. Add the next morning Kilimanjaro brothers team came ready for briefing and a little bit excirces before leaving for Machame gate.
Supplied us with everything we needed to succeed on our summiting Mount Kilimanjaro Uhuru peak. Our expectations were regularly exceeded with all aspects of our trip! The food was fantastic, the tents and sleeping bags kept us warm and the charming personalities of the whole team who took much enjoyment in helping us because they clearly love their jobs!
As an aside, we followed the tipping recommendations I read about from their online portal and tipped the team generously.
The only other thing I'd suggest is that if it's within your means, to have the people in your trekking group consider gathering extra hiking clothing (boots, hats, head lamps, etc.) to provide as gifts or donations to the porters. No matter which company you choose, the porters are all under-dressed because they cannot afford proper hiking clothes or shoes. The clothes they do have often come as used donations. If your trekking group can collect hiking clothes from friends before traveling it would make a very nice gift to give upon your departure.
I can give George and Kilimanjaro brothers team my highest recommendation. FANTASTIC!

Best safari
We made a 2 day safari to Tsavo East. The accommodation at the Voi Safari Lodge was great. We saw a lot of animals. The Safari Provider Dicky Chikoza by KT & Safari is serious and very professional.
Thank you for a nice safari.
