Great experience, great team
When we decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, we wanted to go with a local Tanzanian company. Our research led us to Kiliclimb, and we were very happy with our experience with the Kiliclimb Team. There was friendly, helpful, concise and timely communication with Janeth as we planned our trip from afar. They created a WhatsApp group so everyone could exchange as we planned our safari and the Kilimanjaro trek. The team answered all our questions withing hours if not minutes. They also provided brief updates to my wife while we were on the trek. We met with Moses from the Kiliclimb office and Baraka, the lead guide, the day before we started our adventure who briefed us on the climb and together we looked at all our gear to ensure that we were well equipped for the climb. The next day we went from Arusha to the trailhead with the entire team (guide, assistant guide, cook, porters) and started the trek. This was a team effort and everyone on the Kiliclimb Team supported us throughout our journey. The 15 member team was great, each member focused on our safety, comfort, and wellbeing. The team’s work is very difficult, besides carrying our equipment, their equipment, the camp setup, and food/water, there was a “runner” who was off straight away every morning to ensure we would have a good place at the camps. When we arrived at the camps, our tent and a dining tent were in place. The cook and waiter ensured that we had hot drinks on the trail and when we arrived. Considering the logistics of food preparation en route, there was variety on the menu, and the meals were very good. The soups at lunch and dinner were especially good, they immediately took away the cold edge of the rainy days. They spoiled us at night with hot water bottles for our sleeping bags, this was a wonderful surprise! The guides were excellent. They provided information on the mountain, flora, weather, and history of Kilimanjaro and the surrounding area. The team’s welcome to the mountain was special. The guide and the team sang call and response, which was infectious, we danced in the party atmosphere as well with others from surrounding campsites who joined the fun. We felt the genuine warmth of the Tanzanian culture from each member of the team. Considering we were caught in an early rainy season and were soaked most of the time, this never dampened the spirit of the team. The Lomosho trail was challenging and the guides ensured our safety during the ascends (and descends!) on the slippery trails and while scrambling Barranco Wall. Don’t miss kissing rock at the wall! The guides planned the climb to summit so that we arrived at sunrise; the timing was perfect. It was cold, but the sky was clear and we had panoramic views from the summit. The snow, glacier, surrounding volcanic landscape with the rising sun was surreal. The eight days helped with acclimation; we didn’t have any issues arriving at the summit. The last day was bittersweet; we were coming down (literally) and didn’t want our adventure to end. We sang and danced in the morning before we left camp, the team’s spirit carried us down the mountain. We were very happy that we went with a local company and were able to support the people of Tanzania. We appreciated the professionalism, but also the transparency of the Kiliclimb team and being able to give tips to each member of the team individually, which does not necessarily happen with other companies.
One dream, one team!
We highly recommend a trek with the Kiliclimb Team.

Go the extra mile!
Extraordinary Ethiopia Tours was a wonderful tour operator during my time in Lalibela. The guide, Ermiyas, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. His love and passion for the town and especially the churches shines through. When some activities did not work out as planned, EET went out of their way to find alternative options for me. Great experience for a solo traveller!

great day with an experienced guide
I did a customized day tour to Nairobi park and everything from the pre-communication to the actual tour was handled very well. While planning the itinerary I received fast and considerate responses. During the trip the driver guide Edward shared so many details about the animals, even things I hadn't learned on other safaris, and he always helped me to get good angles for my pictures. The value for money was very good, the only thing that could be improved is the payment option as there was a small fee for the international transfer. In conclusion it was a great and insightful day and I'd definitely book with Wildsasa again.

Super friendly and aims to please!
We had a very comfortable stay at African Big Five Tours and Safaris accommodation. The guide and owner Arnold was also able to organise mokoro rides and an evening game drive. He is super knowledgable and made an effort to track a leopard, and took us to the hyena den. 10/10 recommend.

James and Ivy at Marurumi Safaris were fantastic hosts for our seven day Sopa Lodge Safari in Kenya.
Marurumi Safaris provided once-in-a-lifetime memories for our group of six travelers on a seven day Safari in Kenya. James and Ivy were very personable and provided wonderful insight on the wildlife, parks and culture of Kenya. We stayed at four Sopa Lodges that provided fantastic services. The lodges were beautiful; morning views of Mount Kilimanjaro from the Amboseli dining room, lakeside patios at every room at Lake Naivasha and stunning mountainside views from Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara lodges. Zebra, giraffe, waterbuck and warthogs on the grounds of Lake Naivasha lodge were a great bonus.
I would highly recommend booking your safari with James at Marurumi Safaris, you won’t regret it.

Kind, friendly and really helpful
Me and my girlfriends two-day safari in Tsavo East, was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The park itself is breathtaking; vast landscapes, red-dust plains, and incredible wildlife sightings that make you feel completely immersed in nature.
A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife. He shared fascinating insights throughout the journey, making every moment both exciting and educational.
The overnight stay at Lion Hill Lodge was the perfect complement to the adventure. The views were absolutely stunning. The sweeping panoramas of the park was something we won’t forget anytime soon. The accommodations were comfortable and well-maintained, offering a great balance of authenticity and relaxation after a day of exploring. The food was also excellent, with a buffet that offered variety of delicious options that exceeded expectations.
Lastly, Steve did a fantastic job organizing our trip, making everything smooth and stress-free. They arranged for us to be picked up directly from our hotel in Watamu and, after the safari, ensured we were comfortably dropped off at our next hotel in Diani Beach. The whole transfer process was seamless and well-coordinated, which really allowed us to relax and fully enjoy the experience.
Overall, this safari was the perfect mix of adventure, comfort, and natural beauty. I highly recommended Steve and Richards Safari for anyone looking to experience the magic of Tsavo East.

Mafie are very accommodating and helpful on all aspects of your trip!
I did a 6 day Kilimanjaro climb and a 4 day safari with Mafie in March 2026. Everything was well organised including the hotel before and after each event and I always had a driver waiting for me whether it was from the airport or from/to my hotel from safari or Kilimanjaro. My Kilimanjaro guide Oliver, chef and porters were excellent and I couldn’t have asked any more of them they made sure I was comfortable and healthy during the whole trip. My safari guide was also very knowledgeable and I saw all the animals I wanted to see even in low season. Overall my experience with Mafie was 10/10 and I would highly recommend.

We had so much fun with Yulle
I recently returned from an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya with Yulle Adventures, and I can confidently say it exceeded all expectations.
Our itinerary was perfectly curated, taking us through some of Kenya’s most stunning and diverse destinations, Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Naivasha, and Amboseli. Each location offered something unique, from incredible wildlife sightings to breathtaking landscapes, and everything was seamlessly organized.
A special thank you goes to our guide, James, who truly made the trip exceptional. His knowledge of the wildlife, local culture, and terrain was outstanding, and his keen eye ensured we didn’t miss a single moment, whether it was spotting elusive animals or finding the best views. He was also incredibly friendly, professional, and always made us feel safe and comfortable.
I’d also like to commend Audrey, our booking agent, who handled all the arrangements flawlessly. From the very beginning, she was responsive, helpful, and attentive to every detail, making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free.
This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’m so grateful to Yulle Adventures for making it so memorable. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-organized, immersive, and truly special Kenyan safari.
