Lemosho Route until the top!
We are an Italian couple and we climbed with other 8 people from GB throughout Lemosho Route. It was a very good experience with Jackson and its crew. They came to the airport as the flight landed to get us in Moshi, the accommodation in Panama Hotel was very comfortable. Next day we met our hiking mates and the guides, then we started the trek. Porters are superheroes - carrying everything for us from one camp to another, tents were always ready and so our baggage. They also provided us some hot washing water twice a day and drinking water whenever asked. Food was really good and plentiful, as Tony (guide) said: "if you want to reach the summit, you must eat!". Our plates were always full of pasta, soup, meat, rice and sauce, the chefs also cooked pancakes, porridge and eggs for breakfast. Hot beverage was always available during meals for preparing tea, hot chocolate, coffee, etc. Everyone was always kind to us and we felt like part of a family. Special thanks to the guides Jackson, Joseph, Tony, Abel and James for the summit night. It was a nice experience and we absolutely recommend Almighty Kili! Asante sana.

Good Experience
Overall, we had a great experience. Zedius is a good driver and an attentive guide. The Buhoma Community Haven Lodge was excellent, and the bird guide that AGS engaged, Nicholas, was excellent as well. Doreen was very responsive and tailored the trip to our needs. Would recommend AGS to anyone looking for quality and affordable organized travel options in East Africa.

Amazing experience in the wild
We spent 3 days and 2 nights respectively in Salt Lick Lodge and in Kibo Camp (in front of Kilimangiaro). We visited 3 parks: amboseli was incredible! We saw lots of animals like lions, elephants, hippo, etc. Our guide Daniel was very nice giving is the possibility to Make lots of nice pictures! Alice as Morning Star’s tour operator was available 24hours for any kind of assistance. We liked Amboseli a lot with Kilimangiaro’s view: thanks to our guide Daniel we visited also a Masai Village in front of Kilimangiaro. Here we entered in touch with local culture and traditions.

Great Safari in Kenia, value for money
We had a great safari with Blue Range. Visited multiple National Parcs with out driver/guide. Mozes was great, experieced driver and guide with al lot of knowledge about the parcs and species.
We booked with Blue Range because of the good price for an extensive safari. Well worth the costs. Fee improvement-remarks for Blue Range: 1. Never book Masai Mara Manyatta camp again: it’s strongly in decay, 2. When changes to the itinary occur, communicate upfront instead of last minute and 3. We sometimes had the feeling that things had to be arrangend last minute by the driver, while had booked a complete tour upfront. That gives the idea that not everything has been arranged for in time (e.g: lodge not knowing how long we will stay and lodges not knowing what meals are included in our tour).

Axis was well organized, and replied to all of our questions very quickly. Our guide tour was nice
Our experience was good in general. We were happy with the itinerary. But I didn’t like that the car driver approached too much to some of the animals, scaring in one occasion a couple of jackals that were eating, while many vultures were stalking. Most of the drivers approach too much, but maybe that’s something difficult to change because some tourist like to see the animals very close. I personally don’t like it. However, I am very satisfied with the safari and we were able to see many animals. Our driver Moises was always trying to find the best view and considering catching the best angle with the perfect light to get a nice picture. I definitely recommend axis and Moises. :)

Better to do a private safari
we went on a private safari, which was a good decision. This means you have more space in the car, you can take a better look at the animals and take nice photos. a group safari has 6-8 people in one car. This means you only have a small amount of space and have to hope for good photos and views. our driver Ismail was very friendly and did a very good job. he gave us enough time to observe the animals and always drove very close to the situation. The only negative thing about the company - we didn't have a jeep but a van. On the way back we had to pick up the boss at the train station. As a result, we lost over an hour of our day. this was not discussed with us. Please note: every safari (every company) goes to a house as a “break”. on the way to the parc and on the return. You can buy souvenirs there, etc. Be careful: this is not real handmade . It's a product from China and too expensive. They are trying to trick the tourists. the people there are pushy and promise that are products from Kenya :) :) :)
It's a nice experience. You should go on a safari in your life. Remember: it's a game of chance which animals you see

Great Day in the Park
Our operator arrived on time at our hotel starting off at 6am. We enjoyed the morning with great sightings. We even saw the remnants of a lion kill with one of the lions sleeping next to its kill filled to capacity. We found the Tour Operator very knowledgeable. We ended up comparing the game to the game we have in South Africa. It was great fun. One suggestion would be to offer coffee with a biscuit mid-way. All in all a great day in the park.

You will see all the animals you came for!
I thought it was nice country with great wildlife and friendly people. Aside from the wild life and the Serengeti, we did not have time to see much else. Arusha is meh, you wouldn't go there except to go on safari. The lodges are uneven but generally plenty nice enough. The food is generally just OK--but again you don't go there to eat. Our guide was outstanding--so skilled at spotting wildlife and more determined than even we were to make sure we saw it. His name is Joseph with Lion King Adventures. We did do a day trip to Kilimanjaro but I wouldn't bother. The beginning of the trail that you would see could be anywhere. Like many, we never caught a glimpse of the mountain due to clouds!
