MJ Safaris & Adventure provided the amazing, customized experience I was looking for. + I summited.
I went with MJ Safaris for my climb of the Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro and I couldn’t be happier my experience. Jackson and Noela’s communication was excellent, I was comfortable with all the details of my arrangement and all the logistics involved, the gear provided, the information regarding the route, etc.
My guide Dennis was absolutely amazing, keeping my spirits high, answering all my questions and addressing all my concerns, and providing great information about the flora and fauna on Kilimanjaro along the way, without being overbearing or providing TMI. He balanced everything quite well, which reflected his deep mountaineering background and tremendous experience on Kili, having summitted over 60 times in the past. He was polite, professional, down to earth, compassionate, and simply a joy to do this expedition with. I feel very fortunate to have been paired with Dennis.
Christian, my new Rafiki, was awesome around camp, from setting up my private dining tent and portable toilet (which, if you’re still deciding on, GO FOR IT, you do NOT want to be locating public Kili bathrooms in the middle of the night, in high wind, at altitude, on rocky unfamiliar terrain, only to come upon the nastiest toilets (not actually toilets but literally an enclosed, disgusting hole in the ground) you’ll ever encounter in your life. Get the private / tented bathroom!!), to serving all of my delicious meals and condiments, hot tea in my tent upon request, coffee ready and waiting in the morning, etc. The whole crew (including guide Dennis, Christian, and several additional porters) were awesome, I was 100% cared for, supported, and I truly felt like it was a team effort and they were all personally invested in me getting to the summit. You could tell it was a victory for them, me getting to the top, they took pride in it.
If you’re looking for a smaller operator that really cares and supports you in every way, go with MJ Safaris and work with Jackson. Oh, btw , the hotel they put you up at in Moshi, TZ., called the Mariadi, is an absolute gem. Small, well kept, beautifully landscaped, tranquil and clean pool area, delicious breakfast buffet, etc. This was a great hidden benefit I was not expecting as part of this package but looking back I'm very grateful for.
Dennis, Christian and team, thank you all once again. I’ll never forget my time on Kilimanjaro and how comfortable you guys made me feel while climbing a 19,000 + foot mountain.

An unforgettable Kenya safari experience with excellent support
We had an amazing safari with Ramble Africq Safaris! It was truly an experience of a lifetime. We saw 4 of the Big Five, along with many other incredible animals, making every game drive exciting and memorable.
Everything was very well organized. The itinerary ran on time, everything happened as planned, and the hotels were generally very nice. We had a fantastic time throughout the trip.
The communication before and during the safari was excellent. Brian was always available on WhatsApp and responded very quickly, sometimes even late in the evening. It was very reassuring to know that we could reach him whenever we had questions.
One point of feedback concerns the hotel bookings. Our original quote included four specific hotels, and we decided to proceed with the booking based on that itinerary. However, by the time the booking was processed, three of the four hotels were no longer available, and we had to choose alternative accommodations. While the alternatives were good and we appreciate the effort to find replacements, it was disappointing as we had specifically been looking forward to the original hotels. It would be helpful if hotel availability could be confirmed or reserved before the itinerary is presented as final, or if the possibility of substitutions could be communicated more clearly from the beginning.
Overall, we had a wonderful safari experience and would definitely recommend Ramble Adrica Safaris to anyone planning a Kenya safari. The organization, communication, and overall experience made it a trip we will remember for a lifetime.

Outstanding
Thamani safaris provide excellent value for money. The guide was very knowledgeable and showed us all the animals including leopards, cheetahs and rhinos. I will recommend everyone to book Thamani safaris even if you have to spend a few extra bucks

Faultless
Used this company on the Northern Circuit. We had great communication before we even arrived in Tanzania. Transport from the airport was A1. The hotels were amazing, 3 star before the trip, even had a lovely pool, 4 star after the trek which was beautiful. We were met by the guides at the hotel who checked our equipment, luckily so as i needed better gloves which they supplied. The team work so hard and made us feel so welcome. You never know how good a company is until they have a problem, we had a major problem on the second day, will not go into details however this company were magnificent in dealing with it. Our daily itinerary had to change and this meant a lot more work for the whole team which was done with no malice whatsoever. Special mention to our chief guide called Innocence and his second in command called Walter. The one thing above all is they want you to succeed and their success rate is second to none. Not once did we get down hearten as everything was positive, we always thought we were going to make the summit. Do your homework and check this company out on other sites. Amazing.

Once in a lifetime experience
Herbert was the perfect guide. He instantly texts back and took care of everything. He even helped me organize my journey afterwards and gave me some good recommendations. He knew all the good spots to observe animals and gave a lot of background information. I saw everything i wanted and more. Really impressive experience, can only recommend.
Fantastic!
We had an unbelievable experience! Elsy and her crew went above and beyond! I wouldn't change anything about the trip.

excellent service
Thank you for an incredible experience. The city tour was well explained, and the guide made a great effort to overcome the language barrier, as our English is very limited. He was extremely helpful, polite, and attentive, and we had a wonderful experience.

They have impeccable execution.
We had a great time. The execution by the team was impeccable. Our itinerary included Zanzibar, Serval Wildlife and Serengeti Bushtops. We had smooth transfers throughout the trip and the team made sure to have constant communication through whatsapp.

A great safari tour
My wife and I would like to thank Hadzabe Safari Adventure for an awesome 5 days safari in Tanzania.
(TARANGIRE, NGORONGORO, and SARNGETI)
The guide, Josh, was realy great !!!
He made the effort to find the Big Five and other rare species. He is an excellent driver, navigating every smoothly, he was very flexible and open to our needs and preferences.
His good and friendly personality, his long and deep experience and his endless knowledge made our time enjoyable to the best.
We couldn’t have asked for a better guid under a very good company - Hadzabe Safari Adventure managed by Herman who planed out safari and luxury camps (I would comment that 5 days is a bit short for 3 parks).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!!!

Amazing Safari Tour
Gilbert was an AMAZING tour guide! So helpful and accommodating. Within 2 days of our 4 day trip we booked we saw the big 5. We were able to pull to a close but safe distance and take great pictures. Gilbert is definitely the “animal whisperer” and just an overall helpful guide for Tanzania. He is super knowledgeable about the animals and culture of Tanzania!
