Kwesa Tours - Successful Kilimanjaro Climb - fantastic from base camp to summit!
Words can't begin to convey the fabulous experience we had climbing Kilimanjaro recently on an 11 day, Kili 360, trek with Kwesa tours. From first contact with Kwesa they were incredibly professional, friendly, and supportive. They were our first and only choice to climb with....safety, quality, and experience being our priorities. Guides were exceptional, equipment was excellent, food was fabulous and the entire crew of 103 supporting the 33 of us were friendly, professional and joyful from first step to last. The 11 day trip gave us an excellent opportunity to acclimatize and we did not have a single issue with altitude the entire trip. Another advantage of the longer trip is that we summited during daylight and had amazing views all the way up and had lunch at Stella Point before continuing to the summit. Throughout the entire trip our health was closely monitored, and we felt extremely safe and well cared for. So two sixty year olds, in good health but not great hikers, with the best trekking company on the mountain can summit Kilimanjaro and have a wonderful adventure. Yes, there was torrential rain, and mud and boulders to climb over, and fire ants to dart past. Yes, there was non-stop peeing all night long because of the Diamox we took. Yes, there was ice on the tent, and snow and blowing snow at the top. Yes, it was a really difficult and challenging 120 km hike all around the mountain but with a positive attitude and just enjoying it moment by moment it can be a fabulous, joyful trip. We can now positively say that what you read on the Kwesa Tours website is true...its not an exaggeration...they really are what they say they are...simply the best, and most ethical, at what they do.

Richard is the owner and an excellent and extremely knowledgeable guide!
Excellent service and communications! We took two weekend tours Tarangeri/Lake Manyara and Serengeti/Ngorongoro Crater and also a day Safari to Arusha National Park. We experienced abundant wildlife in every park and Richard provided knowledgeable commentary. My daughter and I highly recommend Mali Kale Safaris!

Unforgettable experience!
I was informed about Shemeji by a colleague of mine who already had a good experience. The previous communication with Froukje was alsways very friendly and helpful. And the 6-day Safari exceeded my expectations. Our driver/gide was really funny, smart and patience and because of him we have seen so many beautiful animals up close. Beside the driver we also had a private cook who travelled with us for a couple of days. The food was delicious and it was an absolute privilege to have him as our private cook. We have absolutely enjoyed the journey! It was an unforgettable experience and hope to return one day!

Tour guide, Ismail, made our trip!
I personally did not arrange this safari but someone in my group who had previously been did. She said they were incredibly accommodating in making a personalized package. We had such a wonderful time and the facilities where we stayed were wonderful. They were clean, had excellent food, service and all the amenities needed. Ismail was an incredible tour guide and we were all extremely impressed at his knowledge of the land, agriculture, history, language, culture and of course animals. He made it his personal mission to make sure we saw and did what we wanted to. Would recommend 100%.

Amazing and wonderful experience. I would not mind doing it all over again. LOVED IT!!!
Touring various parts of Namibia has always been part of my bucket list and finally l managed to do it. l had an unforgettable experience with my hubby thanks to the organized tour by Discovery Transfer and Tours. The lodges we stayed in during this tour met our expectations and the service and hospitality left both my husband and l awed. The tour guide was also good and very informed as he answered all questions and even went an extra mile to provide us with information we did not know about the country, wildlife and the various cultures in Namibia. Despite the gravel roads that resulted to us spending more time in the car because one can not drive fast(which of course was for own own safety) am happy to say the company we had made it worth every minute in the car.

Giltedge Africa went above and beyond creating our trip of a lifetime.
From the moment of contact with this company they did everything to ensure all our desires were met. They are very accommodating. They tweeked every little thing to make our wishes come true. We only started planning this vacation 1 1/2 months prior to our departure date. Never in a million years did We think we would get to do everything on our wish list in such short notice. Due to the hard work and perseverance of Tanya Drummer, all our wishes came true.
Everything went as planned with the detailed itinerary book they provided us. When we arrived in Johannesburg there was someone waiting for us with our names on a sign to guide us through customs. This happened for every flight, every road transfer and every lodge. We were never waiting or wondering what we needed to do. This service was impeccable. We are now spoiled!
The safari lodges and tours were beyond our imagination. All our accommodations were 5 star and exceeded our expectations. We stayed at Sabi Earth Lodge in Sabi Sands private reserve, Victoria Falls Island Lodge, The Chobe Princess House Boat, and Belmond Eagle Lodge in Botswana.
My husband wanted the “wow” factor, and WOW did we ever get it!
We were worried that nothing would compare to Sabi Earth Lodge, but every where we stayed at had its own WOW factor. The beauty of the lodges they recommended were 5 star, but a different feel to each one. The lodges could not be compared to each other, because they were unique in their own way. We loved them all.
All in all, I would recommend this agency to all our friends, clients and future travelers we meet. We travel extensively and this is by far the best agency we have ever used.
Thank you Tanya, you have now spoiled us! How in the world do we ever top this vacation that you planned for us? We will definitely contact you for our next African adventure! BTW, I left a piece of my heart in Africa!
