Amazing Tanzania Experience
When a friend and I were looking for a company to partner with to summit Kilimanjaro and have a great safari experience, we were looking for a solid combination of knowledgeability, responsiveness to our questions, and a sense that the company would go above and beyond to make our experience one we wouldn’t forget.
The team at Kilisa was very responsive in getting us prepared for our trip, answering all of our questions around Kili routes (we chose the Lemosho 7 day trek), logistics, rental equipment, safari (we did a 3 day to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara), etc. When we got to Tanzania, the pre climb and pre safari info sessions were helpful in ironing out any final details that needed to be discussed.
It was super convenient to be picked up and dropped off wherever you needed to go, and we felt like we didn’t even need to think about logistics while we were there. Even when we had to run errands to grab things like a charger, or pick up cash, or even experience the local culture, Kilisa made sure we got what we needed.
For the Kili climb: Our guides Goodluck and Dennis were knowledgeable about the mountain routes, wildlife and plant life and gave us a great education as we went along. They were also great conversation and entertained us along the way. And the rest of the team was supportive as well, while we were on the mountain we felt like everything was taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about anything but personally making it up to the summit. The whole team was just friendly and nice and I feel like we made bunch of new friends on the trip
For the safari: our guide Richard was capable and knowledgeable and had an answer to every Question we had about wildlife or plant life. He made sure that we saw everything that we came to see including Lions, Elephants, Giraffes, rhino, Buffalo, and more. And he was super friendly. We ended up eating dinner and breakfast with him several times on safari, while most other guides were hanging out together at a separate table apart from their own guests. It goes without saying that the wildlife and scenery was amazing! And the weather cooperated the entire time.
Overall our experience with Kilisa could not have been better and it was a vacation I’ll never forget.

Anniversary Special
12 years ago i chose Bonfire in their first ever trip,12 years later, still Choosing Bonfire. Though a last minute booking, the Anniversary suprise at the Mara - Champagne in the room and super delish cake coupled with maasai moran dance for dinner perfected the moment. Kudos to Bonfire's First Lady Sarah and Ruth for coordinating everything so well!

Great experience
From the beginning, I noticed that communication with Muddy was very easy and he made everything was possible to fulfill our requests and adapted the tour to meet our needs. That was the reason I decided to go with Telly Africa Safaris. The safari was amazing. Our guide Lucas was a very friendly guy and the group got along very well. We saw all the big five in the first 3 days! So lucky! I think what makes Telly Africa Safaris unique is the personal treatment they work with. Muddy was not a tour operator, he was more of a host who made us feel at home. He even helped us with a stressful situation we passed through with our flight to Tanzania. I strongly recommend Telly Africa when thinking of going to a safari there. We also spent 2 days in Arusha and the agency arranged interesting tours for us, one in the city and another one to Materuni Falls (where we had a remarkable experience with Chagga people) and Hot Springs. All the guides were very friendly and helpful. Great experience we will never forget!

Everything we hoped for and more, it was the trip of a life time!
Chloe organised a two week road trip around Zimbabwe for us and from the very start accommodated all of our requests. We have two young daughters and the lodges she chose for us were so welcoming to the girls, providing meals at the times we wanted and going the extra mile to keep them entertained. Halfway through the trip our car broke down and Chloe was immediately available helping us change accommodation bookings while we sorted out the car. We've been on safaris in Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania and this was by far the best experience. Thank you Chloe and Off 2 Africa!

Fantastic 3 days Masai Mara Safari
We had a Great time on our 3days days migration safari at Masai Mara. Benson on the company organized our safari very professional and ensured our safety during the Safari and also in the camp we were booked in. Michael, our guide was very patient and answered all our questions in a polite manner. He took us to Mara river during the full day to witness Wildebeest migration as this was main purpose to visit Masai mara, we saw thousands of wildebeest crossing the River. We also saw the four of the big five; Lions, Buffaloes Leopard and elephants. Wildlife and nature of masai mara Wasa amazing. We recommend twinkle star tours for any visitor to Kenya as they organize and offer amazing experience professional. Many thanks to Benson and Michael.

Amazing experience and customer care
My fiance and I went on a 5-day budget safari tour with Moraka Africa Safaris and everything went perfectly. Even if the whole organization of the safari was last minute for us, Latipher was extremely patient and attentive and followed us from the beginning to the end of the trip, always making sure that everything was great. Due to the smaller number of tourists in that period, the agency was able to negotiate so that we slept in lodges instead of tents 3 of the 4 nights of the trip, which was a very pleasant surprise. They also organized a surprise birthday cake for me and gave us a bottle of local wine, which was very kind too. Our guide, Freddie, is super careful and attentive, and our cook, Abdullah, makes magic in the kitchen. The meals (always hot) were really delicious and generous. Regarding to the national parks (we did Tarangeri, Serengetti, Ngorongoro and Manyara), they are just wonderful. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience. Thank you a lot for everything!
