7-Day Machame Climb
Elisante (owner) and the whole team at Kisambi tours were fantastic from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for a Kilimanjaro climb.
From quote stage Elisante was clear, helpful and professional (and the price was great). He allowed us to choose any route and date which meant my friend and I could choose a full moon summit as we had hoped. In the lead up to the trip he was also helpful and gave me great confidence.
Once in Tanzania he arranges airport pickups at the standard rate and can organise accommodation and other activities. The day before the climb we met for gear check and briefing, and again I was very impressed at how professional and helpful they were. Driving us to gear rental shops and a cafe, and also arranging a day trip to Materuni village and water falls (amazing) for us. You are very well taken care of with Kisambi!
On the mountain the team could not have been better. The trip was the height of luxury, better than some hotels I’ve stayed in! Comfortable beds, food so good that we thought the chef must have been a magician, and two highly experienced guides at our side through it all. We felt that the whole team really wanted us to succeed and that they were all doing everything they could for us to. Incredible people, each and every one.
When the climb was difficult on the summit night, our guides high experience became very clear. They make it look so easy and with their help, we made it. I can’t imagine having climbed it with anyone else, they were incredible.
If you’re considering a Kilimanjaro climb (or any tourist activity in Moshi) then Elisante is the man to speak to. I have full confidence in recommending him and will be giving him a call when I eventually return. Thank you Elisante, and thank you to our whole team!

Our expectations were exceeded
our tour was planned specifically according to our wishes. At first we were a little unsure whether booking and payment processing with a company from Tanzania was trustworthy. But our concerns were completely unfounded. Everything went smoothly.
Our safari went through Tarangire National Park, the South, Central and North Serengeti and finally the Ngorongoro Crater. The tour planner, Justice Justin, accommodated our every special request. We wanted a certain luxury in the wilderness and were not disappointed. The lodges selected were excellent. At the Maramboi Lodge the direct proximity to the lake and the animals. In the Kubu Kubu and the Mara Mara Logde the locations are in the middle of the Serengeti and the wilderness. At night we heard lions, hyenas and other animals near our tent.
Our guide Karim has excellent knowledge of German and was able to give us lots of details about the country's wildlife, nature and culture. Despite the rather difficult road conditions, we always felt safe in the Jeep. We had great encounters with all the big cats (lions, leopards and cheetahs), large groups of elephants and of course giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, gazelles, impalas, hyenas, warthogs etc. We also saw a rhinoceros in the distance. It is impossible to list them all. The birdlife is also impressive.
The highlight of our trip was the great migration. We saw several thousand wildebeest crossing the Mara River in the northern Serengeti. The earth shook under the animals' hooves. Young animals lost their mothers and ran back across the river, as did mothers in search of the lost young. A breathtaking event.
Luckily, the journey back from the Northern Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater wasn't quite as strenuous as expected. The view from the crater rim of Melia Ngorongoro Logde is incredible. The game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater was a worthy end to this extraordinary safari.
Many thanks to the African Big Cats team.

Excellent and highly organised - recommend
Everything was perfect! The trip was very well organised, including the accommodation that exceeded our expectations. The agency was very responsive throughout the booking process, the trip and after. Our driver Gadi was amazing throughout the trip - he was friendly, listened to what we wanted and made a lot of effort to ensure we maximised the time in the park / Ngorongoro. Highly recommend!

Ensured our safari experience was all we hoped for
Fabulous from beginning to end. Returning to my country of birth with my family, I wanted to showcase Kenya and I certainly did with Spirit of Kenya. Communication with Vanessa was prompt and efficient and our guide and driver, Mike was amazing. We saw many, many animals and and he ensured it was adventurous and exciting. Highlights included watching families of elephants at the waterhole in the Abederes and discovering juvenile lions in Samburu. Our accomadation was amazing and gave us a ttue taste of safari adventure. Asante sana, Spirit of Kenya.
Superb
Great and hassle free service. Every department is interrelated, making communication easy .No enquiry goes un answered,neither are you tossed from one department to another.
Great team in the office and on the field .Loved everything from booking to the actual tour.
Got a reminder about the schedule tour a day before with all the details about pick up time and location ,guess what right on the dot Sonny was Outside our hotel.
I also loved how accommodating they were, one person that we were picking was not able to go alone as her friend missed the connecting flight. It wasn't a bother at all ,they told her they will pick her up following day .No extra charge .l thought that was great, they understand that things don't always go according to plan.
Thabo ,our tour guide was great full of knowledge, l didn't know that the Zebra is black with white stripes
Lovely experience
Loved the whole experience, well organised and a great safari

Wonderful Kenya/Tanzania Safari
We were very happy with our safari experience with Right Choice Tours & Safaris. When making arrangements, George provided detailed responses to my questions and tailored our arrangements to what we wanted. Ken, our safari guide/driver in Kenya, did a great job in getting us close to the wildlife which facilitated us getting wonderful photos. Right Choice used Raven Safaris in Tanzania and Rajabu, our Tanzanian guide/driver was excellent; not only was he a very competent driver, he was extremely knowledgeable and readily shared his vast knowledge which enhanced our wildlife viewing experience. Rajabu even made sure we each had a new water bottle each morning. The safari jeeps had pop-up roofs and my husband and I had a private tour which allowed us to see the wildlife well. In addition to the game drives, we visited a Masai village in Kenya, did a cultural tour in Tanzania and ended our holiday in Zanzibar where we did a tour of Stone Town, a spice farm tour and went to a beach resort. Right Choice helped to make our Kenya/Tanzanian holiday a fabulous experience.

Nice and flexible tour
It was really easy to communicate with Brian. He was really helpful and flexible. Also game drives were nice and our safari guide/driver made his best to help us to spot many animals.
Vegetarian food wasn’t that good. Just some mayo sandwiches. Maybe for the next vegetarian customers they could offer more options.
