Moloko was AWESOME, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and the BEST.
The was one of the best Safaris ever. The experience was breathtaking! This is a must. Thanks to our guide Moloko, I would definitely do this again.

I'm convinced Eco Africa Climbing is one of the very the best Kilimanjaro tour operators!
My friends and I had a truly incredible experience climbing the beautiful Mount Kilimanjaro with Eco Africa Climbing. I feel incredibly lucky to have had their team look after us for the entirety of our time in Kilimanjaro. We really did feel in very safe hands from the moment we landed at Kilimanjaro Airport. The communication with Frederick from when we booked the trip, all the way through to the conclusion of our time in Kilimanjaro, made the whole experience seamless and minimised any worries or concerns we may have had.
Our wonderful guide, John, collected us from the airport and dropped us off at our hotel. We had three wonderful guides looking after us for the whole trip; John, Jackie and Babusha. They checked to make sure we had all the appropriate gear and offered any rentals we may need. We had a total of 19 amazing porters on our team. They really are the kindest, most considerate and hard-working people I have had the honour of meeting. Nothing was too much trouble. They had such a big team looking after just five of us embarking on the hike.
Nothing was spared and they really went above and beyond. All we had to worry about was putting one foot in front of the other and keep going. They carried most of our gear. We only had to carry our daypacks. They set up our lovely tents and the rest of the camp. Chef cooked us the most delicious hot meals three times a day, every day. I honestly don't know how he did it! The lovely Emmanuel served us all of our meals in the mess tent, woke us up every morning with a coffee in our tent, brought us hot water to wash every morning and evening. They did a medical check on us every morning and evening, which gave us all peace of mind.
They thought of every detail, with Thomas taking the time and care to clean our boots when we got to camp, greeting us with refreshing tropical juice. Despite their tough working, they were all so friendly, kind and patient with us. They shared their knowledge about the local wildlife and zones of the mountain we were in. The brilliant DJ John kept us going with vast array of tunes.
Undoubtedly, I would not have made it to Stella Point if I did not have this incredible team. Their phenomenal encouragement and guidance got me to the peak. And I am so delighted we made it. It was a truly magical experience and I feel so fortunate to have reached the Roof of Africa with this wonderful team.
Climbing Kilimanjaro was a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. It can be overwhelming to choose which company to go with as there appears to be so much online. I would have no hesitation in recommending Eco Africa Climbing. Firstly, they are a KPAP-registered company, meaning they treat their porters fairly. This was one of my major concerns when researching companies. They are actually based in Moshi, and not a big international company. When speaking with many of the different members of the team, they all had only positive things to say about their company and were very proud to be members of Eco Africa. They were very transparent about everything.
Choose Eco Africa Climbing if you want to have a truly incredible experience in Kilimanjaro and support the local hard-working people who will go the extra mile for you.

Amazing tour
I participated in a four-day safari tour. I was so happy to see so much wild animal on the plains.
I also stayed in a tent, and everything was prepared and comfortable. Sometimes wild animals came right up to the tent, which was a bit scary but exciting.
After the tour, I stayed with the host for about a week, which I also recommend. I was able to experience Tanzania up close and learned about local foods by cooking together. The whole family was friendly and I enjoyed every day.
I highly recommend Borbo Tours.

The guides are very professional and responsible. They can always find the animals very quickly.
Johny was very professional! His team was punctual and provided excellent service. He gave us a wonderful safari experience. Evans was lovely, and Albert was lovely too. They were all very friendly.

He was helpful and went the extra mile to help us see the Big Five in Kenya.
Jocky Tours and Safaris gave us an incredible experience. Our guide was helpful, knowledgeable, and truly went the extra mile to ensure we saw 4 out of the Big Five in Kenya. The entire trip was well-organized, comfortable, and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and professional safari operator.

Best Safari ever!!!
What an amazing trip! It was the third safari for me after Etosha and Kruger National Park BUT the first time I saw all of the big 5 within one day. Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha were truly amazing. The landscape is beautiful and 100% worth a visit. All in all the trip and transport were perfectly organized and matched all of our expectations. Aaand: Big big thank you to Caleb, who was not only a kind soul, he was also a really great guide to have. I would even say, the best guide I‘ve ever had! I can only recommend Caleb and Lenchada Tours. My brother and I had an unforgettable time.

Great recommendations, plenty communication and support, couldn’t fault them.
Although I usually enjoy planning holidays myself, this was my first venture into Africa and I did some research on partnering with a local tour operator. Pembury Tours caught my eye with many fabulous 5* reviews and I made contact about 12 months before our trip.
Melanie responded quickly with plenty of ideas, taking on board things we knew we wanted in the itinerary, along with suggestions of things we hadn’t considered. Once we had confirmed our booking, Melanie was in regular communication to tweak and confirm aspects of bookings, so when the time of our trip came we had nothing less than 100% confidence that arrangements would be smooth.
And they were. From the initial meet and greet, accommodations and activities, all were put together with the expertise we had seen on other reviews, and Melanie included her number so we could message via WhatsApp if needed. In fact it was, as the weather in Cape Town didn’t play ball, and we had to swap some activities around - Melanie was still working late evening to rearrange things on one occasion.
We had 3 nights at Arathusa Safari Lodge in Sabi Sands which was a fabulous choice. We had seen the Big 5 within 2 safaris, and continued to see more sightings through the stay, as well as the resident hippos and elephants.
Our holiday was perfect, and much of that was down to the skill and judgement of Pembury Tours, and we would recommend them to anyone considering a similar tour.

Fantastic!
Fantastic service!
Sibu was incredibly professional, friendly, and reliable. He made the drive to and from the park smooth, safe, and genuinely enjoyable. Couldn’t have asked for better — highly recommended!
