A Life-Changing Kilimanjaro Experience with Incredible Africa Adventures!
Words cannot fully express our gratitude for choosing Incredible Africa Adventures for our Kilimanjaro hike. The journey itself was breathtaking, but what made it truly extraordinary was the incredible team that accompanied us every step of the way.
Our guides, Onesmo and Calvin, were more than just leaders—they made our trek fun, engaging, and educational. They shared their deep knowledge of the mountain, culture, and even gave us a Swahili lesson, making the experience even more immersive.
The support team was beyond exceptional. Our waiter, Mathew, ensured we always had hot water, delicious meals, and full water bottles—all while greeting us with a warm smile. Elia, our chef, worked wonders, serving meals that felt like they came straight from a five-star restaurant, even at high altitude!
The porters and tent crew were the unsung heroes of the journey, ensuring our comfort and making everything run smoothly. Their dedication and hospitality were simply unmatched.
This experience was truly the best in every aspect, and we wholeheartedly recommend Incredible Africa Adventures to anyone dreaming of conquering Kilimanjaro. If you’re looking for a team that goes above and beyond, look no further—you’re in the best hands!

We had an incredible time!!
This was our first ever safari (and first time in Africa), so we were really nervous. Our safari designer, Victor, was incredibly responsive and very helpful from the beginning to the end. We asked WAY too many questions, but he always answered promptly and clearly. We felt very assured by him along the way. We settled on an 8-day Safari, with a mid-range package which included a few days in Masai Mara, several days in the Serengeti, and a day in Ngorongoro Crater. It was PERFECT!
When it came to paying for the safari, we opted to try a wire transfer to avoid the credit card fee. We'd never wired money before, and our bank made this sound dangerous and sketchy. Even so, with clarity and assurance from Victor, we sent our down payment and it went through. He confirmed the funds arrived, and we breathed a sigh of relief. Not so scary after all!
Victor worked quickly to secure out stays, and though we were a little late to booking, he was able to find us wonderful places that fit our criteria. The one exception was our first location which did not have a room for our guide, Ben. He had to head elsewhere for a place to stay those nights.
When we arrived in Kenya, Ben (our Kenya driver) was waiting for us with a smile. He helped us with our bags, and we loaded up into the land cruiser. Off we went! Masai Mara was fantastic - so many elephants and lions. And our stay at Olengoti Eco Safari Camp was SO fun! We got to eat dinner by a river and watch hippos while we ate. So awesome! Ben may have been used to an older crowd that's ready t head back to camp by 3pm, but we definitely wanted to stay until close. Ben was flexible and agreed. We even got to see the Great Migration during our visit. I think this was July 19 & 20, 2024. The wildebeest had just started crossing the Mara! Ben's strength was in parking in really good spots for optimal viewing. We ALWAYS saw the animals really well!
After Kenya, we headed to the Kenya/Tanzania border at Isebania, where we parked, went into a building to pass through customs, then said goodbye to Ben and hello to Abraham. It's a long ride, but neat to see the local villages along the way. These countries are beautiful.
The Serengeti is a dream. It's all the Lion King vibes, and SO many great animals. We saw the big 5, but the rhino we saw in Ngorongoro was sooooo far away that we almost didn't think it counted (We saw one up close later in Nairobi National Park because we loved this safari so much, we had to add an extra little one before we headed home!). Abraham knew SO many things about the animals and area, so we went like we learned a TON from him. He was excellent! Definitely request Abraham, if you can!
We stayed at Kati-Kati Camps in the Serengeti, and at Kuhama Camp in Ngorongoro Crater. Both were great! After our 8 days were up, Abraham drove us to the Arusha airport where we said goodbye and headed out to our next adventure.
Every day on Safari is unique - some you see more animals, some less. its all part of the experience. Trust your guide, learn lots, listen well, respect the animals and the people, you'll have an awesome time! This was a dream trip come true! Cheers to Spirit of Kenya for making this a fantastic experience - we can't say enough good things about the whole thing. Booking with Spirit of Kenya feels like booking an all-inclusive. You get the driver/guide, land cruiser, lodging, food - everything you need is completely taken care of. You just need to show up with a nice camera, extra batteries, and a scarf for those dusty days. Get ready to have the time of your life!

8 Days Gorillas Chimps trekking and Wildlife Safari in Rwanda
From the moment we stepped off the plane and were greeted by Julius, our smiling guide, nothing could have gone better. All the accommodations were outstanding, as was the food, and the experiences were mind blowing. 🤯
We had wanted to see the mountain gorillas and that was definitely the highlight of the trip, but left all the other planning up to Dav Safaris. Every experience was fantastic, and they even changed our accommodation and scheduled a similar experience elsewhere, the day before our trip began due to an update to UK Travel advice.
Julius was brilliant throughout, ensuring we were suitably attired for each activity (if a little overdressed for golden monkey trekking 😅) and knew when to be ready. He kept us safe, was always friendly and upbeat, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide.
I would definitely recommend Dav Safaris and Julius if you're planning a trip to East Africa.

Exceptional Safari Experience with Rafiki Tembo Tours
I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari organized by Rafiki Tembo Tours, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Lowassa arranged an incredible trip to Mikumi National Park, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.
The journey started with the new electric SGR train from Dodoma, the capital city of Tanzania, to Morogoro, which was both comfortable and scenic. Arriving in Mikumi was exciting, and we felt welcomed right from the start.
Our guide, who was not only friendly but also exceptionally knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystem, made our safari unforgettable. He shared fascinating insights about the animals we encountered and the park’s unique environment. It was a joy to see the wildlife up close with someone who truly understands and respects the natural world.
This safari was a dream come true for my friends and me, all of whom are from Germany. We experienced the beauty of Tanzania and created memories that we will cherish for a lifetime.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Rafiki Tembo Tours. They have a stellar reputation for providing unforgettable experiences, and I can confidently say that this was a must-do adventure! Thank you, Rafiki Tembo Tours, for an amazing safari experience! We look forward to exploring more of Tanzania with you in the future!

Tarangire one day safari - Amazing experience!
I recently did a one-day safari with Big Tom in Tarangire National Park, and as always, it was an incredible experience. Having been on longer safaris with Tom in the past, I knew I was in for a fantastic day, and he certainly did not disappoint.
Tom’s passion for wildlife and dedication to providing an exceptional safari experience is unmatched. He goes above and beyond to ensure you see as much as possible, skillfully navigating the park and using his deep knowledge of animal behavior to find incredible sightings. His expertise doesn’t stop at the wildlife—he is also incredibly knowledgeable about the park’s flora, ecosystems, and conservation efforts. I asked a lot of questions throughout the day, and he answered every single one with enthusiasm and insight.
Tarangire is famous for its elephants, and we saw plenty of them, along with a wide range of other animals such as lions, zebra, giraffe and buffalo in their natural habitat. The landscapes were stunning, and Tom’s ability to position the vehicle for the best views and photography opportunities made the experience even more special.
Whether it’s a one-day adventure or a longer safari, I highly recommend Great Escape Trails. Big Tom’s experience, professionalism, and genuine love for Tanzania’s wildlife make every safari unforgettable. I can’t wait to do another one day.

2-day 1-night safari from Cape Town
An amazing safari experience! The one night option was perfect for us since we were only staying one week in Cape Town. We didn’t think it would be possible to visit Kruger so quickly and efficiently, so we were really happy to find this tour option. The two safari drives are the perfect amount of time to see a ton of animals.
Our travel agent Assa did a wonderful job of planning our trip and keeping us informed along the way. Our Safari guide Muzi was outstanding! Very enthusiastic and passionate about the animals.
Definitely recommend this specific tour if you are in Cape Town and don’t have time to do a longer safari. I’d recommend doing the 3-day /2 -night option with this company if you have more time to spare.

The best we ever had and the greatest of all time
The trip was a quite interesting experience thanks to our tour guide Mike. He was amazing and he showed us around the park telling stories of the animals in the park. He was good and best in what he does. He made sure that we saw most of the animals. It was a great trip
