Thank you Benson safaris for an incredible “once in a lifetime” trip!
Book with Benson safaris and you will not be disappointed! We started planning a year before the trip and Pendo in the office was amazing, answering countless emails and Skyping with us a couple of times. She was so patient with our many inquiries and responded very quickly, She even met us at the hotel in Arusha the first night to welcome us. Thank you Pendo!
We were a group of 10 in 2 safari vehicles. Our guide and driver Peter was amazing. He was such a knowledgeable, kind and caring person. He made sure we were able to see so many animals up close and provided information throughout the safari. We saw 11 lions pass right behind our safari vehicle, as well as a lion kill (wildebeest) among many other animals including elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, leopards and cheetahs. Amini was the guide and driver for the other vehicle and he was also wonderful. Ask for Peter or Amini as your guide and you will be very happy with either of them!
The luxury lodges were so beautiful! We stayed at Kubu Kubu, Maramboi, and Serena Manyara. They all had infinity pools overlooking the African landscape. Kubu Kubu had the most amazing outdoor shower and we could see some of the wildebeest crossing while in the infinity pool!
The people we met were all so welcoming and friendly. Africa is such a beautiful country and it is worth visitng for the landscape alone. The sunsets were also incredible.
At the end of our trip, we met Benson at the airport for a few minutes and he kindly gave us a departing gift of African coffee to take home with us.
Thank you Pendo, Peter, Amini and Benson. It truly was the trip of a lifetime. We will not forget the wonderful experience you provided for us.

Kilimanjaro Climbing Trek
Always had a Wishlist of visiting Tanzania and trek to the Mount Kilimanjaro. After researching for the best trekking company for Kilimanjaro, I came up with Jaribu Africa Adventure. They were very honest, kind and helpful. We landed in Kilimanjaro International airport and there was a Josep from the company who dropped us to our hotel rooms. Later, he took us to his office and introduced us to our guide for our trip to Kilimanjaro.
There we had a small meeting with Joseph, the managing director and Alex our tour guide. After that, Alex suggested us best cafes and restaurants nearby our hotel for tasting authentic Tanzania cuisine.
We were introduced to our porters and cook, wonderful group of people. Trekking with them was amazing. Our guides and porters made the trip easy, fun, exciting and very memorable. I was truly amazed by our porters; they were carrying our bags on a steep rough pathway whereas we were getting breathless even we were carrying a light backpack. Throughout the trek, we talk about our personal life stories and learn a lot of things about Kilimanjaro.
The views from Lemosho route was very scenic and beyond any imagination. A big thanks Joseph for introducing us to our guide and porters’ team for making our trekking experience everlasting. I will never forget this adventurous trip; we took with an amazing team of people.
I advice people to take physical and mental training before starting a Kilimanjaro trek as it can be very helpful while trekking on multiday trip.
I can’t forget this especially at last I would recommend Jaribu Africa Adventure to those who wants best trekking services as this company truly offers high quality services.

Unforgettable Experience in Uganda!
We booked a 4-day gorilla safari package with KSafaris and we had an absolute blast! Our trip started with a pick-up in Kigali and we drove across the border to go trekking with gorillas in Bwindi National Park. Afterwards we spent some time at Lake Bunyonyi, a highlight for sure.
Prior to the trip, we found KSafaris online and the countless 5-star reviews from past guests was comforting. We contacted the company directly to ask for more information about what they can offer and found Richard to be very responsive, helpful and professional.
We felt lucky to have Richard as our guide/driver for our trip. Always smiling and aiming to please, he's a fantastic guide and just a wonderful person too. He's been working in the travel industry for over a decade and it's clear to see his passion and dedication to show visitors a 'real travel experience' in Uganda. For anyone wishing to visit Uganda and beyond, these guys will deliver the trip of a lifetime.
Highly recommended :)

The Lake Bunyonyi and South Western Uganda trip was an amazing experience.
Communication was just fine, and my favourite part was the service at Humura Cafe and restaurant, these guys were so hospitable.

Outstanding safari experience!
We had absolutely the best time. It was mostly because of our guide Davis. He had answer to everything we asked him, made sure we saw as much as we could and it was a lot. You can see he puts his heart in the job, it’s his passion and that’s why our trip was so special.
Tanzanian scenery is absolutely stunning. We enjoyed our stay in the accommodation as well as food! :)

Amazing Experience with Almighty Kilimanjaro
I had contacted several other tour operators who either didn't reply or couldn't offer what I wanted, and so luckily the manager of my hotel recommended Almighty Kilimanjaro at the last minute.
When I met my guide I knew it would be a great 6 days.
I had not thought about having a private tour before, mostly as I assumed it would be too expensive for a solo traveller, but it turned out to be similarly priced and the best choice I could have made.
I spent 3 nights at the Octagon Lodge in Karatu,and 2 nights at Green Hills in Serengeti, travelling to Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
The accommodations weren't luxurious, but had good food and lovely staff and were fitting for a Safari adventure. The lunch boxes each day had enough food to keep me satisfied and Frank helped me to locate my favourite drink to accompany it.
Even though I chose a pretty standard itinerary which we stuck to, Frank made it feel like a special tour created just for me.
We saw all the birds, animals and locations I'd wanted to see and Frank remembered the things I liked and took me to them or pointed them out for me.
Frank knowledge, interest and caring made a great tour fantastic and I am going to go back for a different one next month.

Good choice of budget safari
Reliable company which provides good service around Arusha. Their drivers knows the area of local parks well, are educated about animals and local nature.
Would def recommend them for camping safaris, the equipment is good - tents, furniture. Cars are in ok condition, chefs cooking nice meals. All 5*.
