Exceptional Kili Climb with Snow Africa Adventures – Highly Recommended!
I can’t recommend Snow Africa Adventures enough for your Kilimanjaro climb! When I began my search for an outfitter, I focused on KPAP-certified, Tanzanian-owned companies that offered “join a group” treks within my travel window. There were a few options, but Snow Africa stood out immediately thanks to Florent’s quick responses, excellent customer service, and thoughtful planning advice. Having guided on Kili for over a decade before founding Snow Africa, Florent knows every detail of how to make your climb safe, successful, and memorable.
My partner and I joined another trekker (now friend!) for an 8-day Lemosho Route trek during the August 2025 full moon, and the entire trip was flawlessly organized. All 3 of us successfully summited.
Our lead guide, Paul, and assistant guide, John, were a phenomenal team—genuinely caring about our health, morale, and ultimate success.
We were supported by 12 hardworking porters and a fantastic chef. Special thanks to:
Bazili – our chef, who kept us well-fed with generous, delicious meals.
Justin – our attentive and always-smiling waiter
Sebastian – who maintained our private toilet (included!) the entire trek.
Mohamed – who carried hot tea and my bag halfway to the summit.
Rajabu, Petro, Bruno, Peter, Silvester, Godchance, Faustin, Dani, and Gasper – who tirelessly set up camp, resupplied food and water, and handled countless behind-the-scenes tasks to make us comfortable.
One of my favorite moments was after our summit and descent—when the porters met us back at Barafu High Camp to celebrate, take our bags (even from the guides!), and lead us back to camp.
From start to finish, this was an unforgettable adventure and an outstanding value. Huge thanks to Florent, Paul, John, and the entire Snow Africa team for making our trek amazing.

Sunset created and delivered for our three-generation family an extraordinary, unforgettable trip.
Our safari was a real trip of a lifetime! All 14 members of our family, from 4 years old (youngest grandson in our group) to the oldest at 80, absolutely loved the experience and will have fantastic memories of it for the rest of our lives. The logistics were complicated but all worked to perfection!
To be together as a big, three-generation family group seeing the wonderful animals in their natural setting was extraordinarily special.
We couldn’t have asked for better drivers and guides, Adam and Omari, who did a first rate job of taking us on this wonderful journey, involving many, many kilometres; both of them being very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the parks, super friendly, flexible and reliable, becoming friends of our whole family.
The lodges where we stayed were very comfortable, the service was friendly and efficient, the food very tasty and added another very enjoyable dimension to the trip, particularly when the last safari night was spent at Lions Paw on the Ngorogoro crater rim, not to be missed!
We also loved our few days on Zanzibar, relaxing and soaking up the local atmosphere with its laid back, easy going ways! Beach time as a family with the grandchildren is always good fun.
A truly beautiful experience, exceeding our expectations by some margin! We have no hesitation in recommending Sunset Adventure Safari.

King Solomon and Hussein sure know how to karibu safari!
Out of all the Safari Companies that I reached out, King Solomon Safaris stood out. His response to my inquiries was very prompt, and the invoice was honest and straightforward. Since the day of our arrival in Arusha, he took care of all our concerns till the day we left.
We had four day excursions to Serengeti and Ngorongo Crater with our guide Hussein. He was very professional and always on time. He maintained of our safari car flawlessly and always knew the right spot to watch animals. We got to see all the big 5 and even the great migration of gnu on our first try.
Solomon and Hussein did an exceptional job to tailoring our personal needs, and made our safari experience the best it can be. They have our approval and we highly recommend.

7 Day Safari - meticulously planned and well executed
We explored and reached out to over 10 tour operators before deciding on Axis. What set them apart was their prompt communication, the clarity and thoroughness of their brochures, the variety of accommodation options, the reasonable pricing, and, most importantly, their impressive number of positive reviews and ratings.
We went on a 7-day safari tour that included a mix of mid-range and budget accommodations, covering Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli.
Our planning was supported by Phillip, who was incredibly enthusiastic, courteous, and always quick to respond to our calls and messages. He made the entire planning process smooth—from providing a detailed brochure and answering all our queries to guiding us through the payment process and assisting with pre-trip communication.
Food: As a strictly vegetarian couple, we were initially concerned about the availability of suitable meal options during the trip. However, Philip took care to inform all the hotels about our dietary preferences well in advance, and our guide, Peter, made sure to reiterate this at every stop. The hotel staff were very accommodating and consistently provided vegetarian options in the buffet breakfasts, dinners, and even in the packed lunches during game drives.
We also carried some ready-to-eat meals with us, which came in handy during certain parts of the journey. A special mention goes to the chef at Enkorok Safari Camp in Masai Mara, who prepared delicious Indian dishes that truly made us feel at home. Additionally, AA Lodge offered a good variety of vegetarian options at their buffet, including fresh salads, fruits, and flavorful Indian vegetarian dishes.
Chambal hotel in Naivasha was also accommodative of our request and had some good vegetarian options
We opted for a mix of budget and mid-range hotels throughout our safari.
At Enkorok Safari Camp in Masai Mara (2 nights), we had a truly memorable stay. The staff were incredibly courteous and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The property itself is beautiful—nestled in nature, with spacious rooms and a lovely sit-out area furnished with sofas. On our second day, we relaxed on the balcony after our game drive, sipping tea while watching the rain—an unforgettable moment. Although we couldn’t use the scenic swimming pool due to evening showers, it certainly added to the charm of the place. The staff were attentive and responsive to every request, and the camp is conveniently located just 10–15 minutes from the main gate.
In Nakuru, we stayed one night at Buraha Hotel (a budget choice). The room was decent for a short stay. However, we were advised by the hotel staff not to step out, especially after dark, which was a bit concerning given that it’s located in one of Kenya’s main cities.
Our next stop was Chambai Hotel in Naivasha (1 night), a small, no-frills hotel situated on the main road. The rooms were compact but comfortable for a brief stay. The staff was courteous and prompt, especially in accommodating our food preferences.
Finally, AA Lodge in Amboseli (2 nights) completely won us over. Surrounded by nature, it offered stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, especially at sunrise. The rooms were spacious and faced open landscapes, and we even spotted baby deer right outside our window in the morning. The staff were warm and attentive, and we enjoyed the pool area with a lovely tea-time snack—making this stay a highlight of our trip.
Guide and Safari Experience:
Our safari experience was absolutely incredible—we were fortunate to spot all of the Big Five, along with several rare sightings, making the journey truly unforgettable. We opted for the Land Cruiser, which added comfort and better visibility throughout the drives.
Our guide, Peter Kapino, was exceptional. His deep knowledge of wildlife, ability to anticipate animal behavior, and dedication to positioning us for the best views and camera shots made all the difference. He made sure we didn’t miss a thing.
In Masai Mara, on our very first evening game drive, we were thrilled to see a group of 5–6 female lions moving in a pack right next to our vehicle, followed by the majestic appearance of two male lions shortly after.
During our full-day game drive in Masai Mara, the sightings were nothing short of spectacular: we saw a cheetah right after a successful hunt, lionesses devouring their morning kill, a leopard, as well as zebras, giraffes, various antelope species, birds, water buffalo, crocodiles, hyenas, monkeys, hippos, and magnificent elephants. Although we didn’t catch the full Great Migration, Peter guided us to witness a mini-migration of wildebeest led by a zebra herd—an absolutely breathtaking moment.
In Lake Nakuru, we saw the rare Rothschild giraffe (only found in this park), along with pelicans, flamingos, a variety of bird species, both black and white rhinos, water buffalo, and baboons.
In Naivasha, we enjoyed a peaceful boat ride across the lake and a walking safari on the island. We spent nearly an hour on the water and then strolled (guided walking tour) among free-roaming giraffes, zebras, impalas (antelopes) and even spotted hippo families—an intimate and beautiful experience.
We also explored Hell’s Gate National Park, where we went on a short guided hike. The landscape was stunning, and we made our way through a gorge that led to natural hot spring.
Finally, in Amboseli, we spent a full day on a game drive. Despite the dusty terrain, the views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the abundance of wildlife made it more than worth it. We saw large herds of elephants, zebras, giraffes, and various antelope species. One of the highlights was spotting six cheetahs feasting on a recent kill—their faces still red with blood. Later, we came across a pride of six lions, which was the perfect way to end the day.
We had an incredible Safari thanks to Axis.

Beyond our expectations!
I found Golden Rwanda Safari’s from reading reviews online. After contacting Frank, the owner, I just had a good feeling about this company. He had an initial package that combined Rwanda mountain gorillas with Kenyan safari’s (my dream trip). We planned the 12 day trip and Frank was so patient with me as I customized so many parts of it. We paid for the trip ahead of time to guarantee good hotel rates per Frank’s suggestion. As we got close to the trip, I worried a little if all would go well since no one I knew had used Golden Rwanda Safaris. I could not have been happier. We were met at the airport by our amazing Rwandan guide, Sufiane. He took care of us like we were family. We had beautiful hotel rooms (I think often the best rooms of the hotel) and a very comfortable truck. Sufiane always kept us informed of timing and sights we were seeing. Rwanda is so beautiful and seeing the Mountains Gorilla’s was beyond amazing.
We flew to Kenya and we were met by our Kenyan guide, David. Again, he treated us like family. He is so knowledgeable about the animals and could spot them so quickly. He kept us on track for all our safari’s and since it was just two of us with David, he would tailor the day to what we wanted to see. We had a comfy pop up roof truck that had windows you could easily close (to avoid dust). Our hotels were fantastic and it was hard to leave sometimes. The hospitality in Kenya and Rwanda is wonderful.
The cost of our trip was similar to many other tour companies. We had no added fees, whatsoever, when we were there. The customer service, communication and reliability of Golden Rwanda made this a trip of a lifetime. We were able to have dinner with Frank, which was really a personal touch and unexpected. We saw the Big 5 along with so many other animals and we were up close and personal with many of them. I would not hesitate to use Golden Rwanda Safaris again and I highly recommend them to anyone traveling to East Africa!!
