Australian experiences Tanzanian Wildlife
Makasa did a fantastic job for us, two older ladies embarking on an adventure to see the animals. Our driver was courteous, observant and very very safe. We were blown away by the number of animals he was able to point out for us when we couldn't see beyond the camouflage! The only animal we werent able to find was the rhino, but other wonderful experiences were worth the 30 hour plane trip to see. And the birds... colour and all shapes and sizes we could not have imagined out of a book. Thank you, Ali and Makasa.

Amazing opportunity to see diverse wildlife
The wildlife in Ngorongoro is amazing. You'll have no trouble finding zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, lions, hippos, elephants and many others. I wasn't lucky enough to see a rhino in the crater but we did see a cheetah which apparently are fairly rare inside. The weather was beautiful. It was somewhat windy and around 25 degrees Celsius. We stayed in the Serena hotel at the top of the crater which had great views into the crater. It had especially lovely sunrises. Meals were typically a buffet salad and dessert bar with a small selection of main dishes to choose from. They were quite good. Breakfast was also a buffet. We traveled with Rashidi from Leopard Tours who was an excellent guide. He was well versed in all the various animals and birds that we saw on our tour and he searched very diligently to find all the animals we wanted to see.

This was a once in a life time experience that unfolded before my eyes meeting all my expectations.
Very professionally booked, scheduled and performed meeting all of my expectations and more. I highly recommend Simba Africa Expeditions and I look forward to more adventures with them in the future. Rain or shine the safari was prepared for what Mother Nature through at us being well prepared at every turn. The scheduling of the days events was perfect in keeping me busy physically and mentally at every moment with a mix of fun, adventure, learning and most important relaxation at just the right time - it was a wonderful once in a life time experience from the moment I woke, through the day and once my head hit the pillow that I hope everyone will be able to take advantage of while visiting Africa. Thanks goes out to the entire team at Simba Africa Expeditions.

Machame Route up Kilimanjaro
Can't say enough good things about Herman and his team. Herman was very responsive and flexible throughout the booking process. Once we landed in Tanzania, everything was taken care for us. We had a team of 14 lead two of us up Kilimanjaro on a 6 day climb and they could not have been more helpful and friendly. The work ethic of everyone on the staff from our guides to the cook to our waiter to the gentlemen who carried our bags was inspiring. Ezekiel and Andrew were great guides- right off the bat they were able to identify our skill level and planned our days accordingly. Most importantly, they got us to the top right at sunrise with relative ease.
The hike was unbelievably memorable- a good challenge but not overly strenuous and scenic the whole time. The price was unbelievably affordable as well. I highly recommend Tanzania Climbing Outfitters.

Personal, flexible and friendly to ensure all needs are met.
Philemon came to our hotel at Arusha Giraffe Lodge to help us organize a taste of NE Tanzania within our limited budget. Philemon was flexible and informative when discussing our options. He treated us to some local culture during our stay as well which was above and beyond. Charles was our guide for Arusha National Park and a more passionate man would be hard to find. His knowledge and pride in Tanzania was astounding making you feel honoured to be there. Efficient, hospitable and professional people make Aardvark Expeditions the company to make your time in Tanzania a once in a lifetime experience.

Beautiful trip in South Afrika
In the preparation we got all possibilities to make an individual trip. It was well organised. We got a lot of information in advance. The guides and tours were on time. The guides told us many interesting things about the country, animal, the people, etc.

Incredible time!
We've spent 3 weeks in Tansania, aiming for climbing Kilimanjaro.
Before arriving there I wrote to more than 30 companies, trying to find the right one.
Mega adventures is situated in We travel hostel (best hostel!!), our first hostel, so we gave it a shot.
From all the companies we contacted, this one was the best one because:
- they are very honest, they told us how it works with the porters! It was very important for us to book with an agency that is part of KPAP, and even though this one is not (yet), they pay a very solid and fair salary. In fact, all the porters I talked to, loved Mohammed as their boss!
- They named other companies in case we insisted on booking with KPAP companies!
- It is the best offer you can find in Moshi!
Now let's talk about the tour itself:
- we got 2 times a day warm food (more food than all the hikers we met on the mountain) and awesome breakfast
- oxymeter
- well trained guides
- awesome and nice porters
- well equipment
In fact, they really did everything to get us on the top safely, preventing us from suffering altitude sickness.
