Wonderful experience hiking Kilimanjaro and exploring Moshi and Arusha!
My friends and I hiked the Marangu Route (5 days) up Kilimanjaro through Afrishare and had a wonderful experience! The food was excellent, the accommodations were comfortable, and with the help of our experienced guides and a great team of porters, we made it to the summit. We felt safe and well-supported throughout our journey.
The director of Afrishare, Ibra Mkwizu, was a particularly stellar host who made our experience in Tanzania welcoming and stress-free. He coordinated every aspect of our hike, including transportation and lodging on either end. Ibra sent us a driver to pick us up from Arusha, hosted us at his own home for breakfast, personally worked with us to get every piece of gear we needed and advise us on what we should pack, gave us a place to safely store the rest of our luggage, and dropped us off with our crew to begin the hike. When we got off the trail, he again hosted us for a home-cooked lunch, provided us with a room to shower, and dropped us off at the airport. We never had to worry about logistics while Ibra was taking care of us.
In addition, Ibra acted as our logistics coordinator while we spent three weeks in Moshi and Arusha for a college geography course. He took care of everything — park fees, transportation, preparing host families for us to stay with, packing lunches for our days out in the field, and much more. Ibra traveled with us every day to make sure we had everything we needed to explore the Kilimanjaro region. He took on these responsibilities in addition to his normal work directing Afrishare, and did a wonderful job.
I would recommend Afrishare to anyone hoping to travel to Tanzania — for a Kilimanjaro hike, safari, or anything else!

Professional and Reliable + Great Safari
I spent four weeks working closely with AfriShare to organize my stay in Tanzania. AfriShare helped plan everything from trips to National Parks to summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro. We worked with the company’s director - Ibraham Mkwizu who made sure all of our needs were taken care of and the trips went very smoothly. I strongly recommend using this company to book any of your safari and mountaineering trips. Their service was reliable and of the highest quality. The food, lodging, and service provided on the mountain was amazing. They were very accommodating to any changes in our schedules and worked to make our time in Africa unforgettable.

ABSOLUTE BEST SAFARI TOUR EXPERIENCE! Thank you Happy Moments Tours!!
I booked a 5 day Tanzania safari: Tarangire, Ngorongoro crater & 3 days Serengeti. I was doing my own research, reading lots of online reviews and not sure which safari company to use, I found it very difficult and overwhelming to locate a trustworthy company since there are so many! But when I came in contact with Happy Moments, I felt comfortable during every step of the booking process. Benson always answered every question I had quickly and thoroughly… and I had a lot of questions :) Benson was transparent with all the costs and even helped me find ways to reduce costs whenever possible. He customized his tour for us to make it fit our preferences. Our driver and guide, Benard, was absolutely amazing! Always nice and friendly, reliable, very knowledgeable with all the animals and surroundings. He made sure we started extra early to get the best viewing of all the animals and we we were able to see all the “Big 5“, including the rhino! If you’re reading this review right now and want to book any length of safari, I can say with 100% certainty you can trust Benson and his Happy Moments Team to organize and customize your Safari, to get a great price and value, to get excellent customer service and to give you the best quality Safari experience! Thank you again Benson and Benard at Happy Moments!

For People with deep interest on nature and country!
With their excellent guides, Suricata safaris offer a wide range of knowledge about animals, the country, people, history, myths and legends, even for people who are particularly interested....
Even if you value impeccable organization and help with special requests, you've come to the right place!
And that at a comparatively low price.
Even as an older (somewhat more demanding) couple, we felt extremely well looked after, cooked and cared for here!
Many thanks to Hilary, James and everyone else!!!

Professional and knowledgeable!
We had a wonderful time with Kipe, he is such a friendly and warm person. He is always ready to answer any questions and is very knowledgeable about his culture, country, surroundings. He is also a young entrepreneur, it was a honour to have found him. I could not imagine Tanzania without him.

Efficient and patient!
We traveled to Lukimbi in Kruger Park for 3 nights. We had to coordinate changing accommodation requirements for family arriving from different corners of the globe and departing at different times. Lindsay Doubtfire did an excellent job in coordinating our plans. The venue she recommended exceeded our expectations and represented excellent value for money. Thank you Lindsay.

Excellent service, professional guides
We really lived safari to Mikumi National Park with Kiliholidays Tours & Safaris. Everything was smooth, guides were excellent and they were always thinking in a way that we as a group of 12 people, would feel us comfortable and happy. Everything prior the safari trip was smooth, answers came fast and my trust was gained from the beginning.
So we really liked their service and will recommend Kiliholidays Tours and Safaris to others!

Excellent and very quick service!
From booking the tour to it's end, I only have praise. Our fluent in German and English tour Driver/ Guide Michael, arrived punctually with a 100% well equipped A/C Jeep. Cold drinks, binoculars, Information guide about wild life and plants we would see, were all part of the amenities. Michael the guide, was "simpatico" and really knowledgeable about wild life and culture in general. He made the experience richer by providing us with very Professional Information. Michael took care of "everything" like the check in at lodges, entries to the national Parks and was a very good driver on some very precarious roads. We booked a 7 day Safari beginning with Manyara Nalt. Park, Norongoro Crater, Serengeti and finishing in Tarengira Nalt. Park. The coronucopia of experiences of seeing all the big 5 animals and a mirade of birds ( Michael was an expert in Bird life) made this tour a "life time memorable experience".
We would highly recommend booking with Benson Safari!

The operator you can rely on!
I had an eight days trip. Although there were a lot of changes due to the other folks not showing up in the end, African Breeze Team really handled it well. I was worried at the beginning due to the changes but the team was very professional. I have travelled a lot in the past but my trip to Kenya was the most amazing one I have done. Highly recommended.
