Always felt we were in good hands with people who cared that we had a wonderful experience
This is my 2nd experience with Gladiola. I really like the fact that they are own by a Tanzanian. The owner and staff are extremely caring and rightfully so, very proud of their country. All details are seen to. They work hard to design the type of safari that is best for you. Their prices are less inflated than some other companies, presenting good value. The driver/guide that has now led our tours twice is an outstanding person and guide. They are a young company and still getting familiar with all the lodgings, so let them know if you are not certain about anything in particular on your itinerary. Their vehicles are kept in very good shape (extremely important!!!) and their driving is very safe - again, this is so important (I've travelled in Africa many, many times.....) I strongly recommend them!
Professional & timely
The experience was exceptional.
Time was kept. They did our transfers from & to the airport's & the hotels.

Seven Days on Kilimanjaro and Five days safari with Kilimanjaro Brothers
My daughter and I just completed a seven day climb of Kilimanjaro and a five day Safari with Kilimanjaro Brothers. We have received excellent service preparing our climbing. The care for our wellbeing and support were patient, friendly and perfect and we always felt safe. I remember the sentence "pole, pole, just a few meters than there is the peak" hahaaa.
The guides (Maroa and Massawe) were truly exceptional and exceeded our expectations in every way. Their concern for our health and welfare and in helping us to achieve our goal was top-notch. The food on the climb was far better than we expected.
Also five days on safari with Kilimanjaro brothers was a once in a lifetime experience for us. We visited both the Manyara National park, Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The food too was good and accommodations that arranged perfect.
Thank you George and Kilimanjaro Brothers team for making this a truly unforgettable experience! The excellent experience with the service provided by the company. I would highly recommend their service!

Once in a lifetime experience
Snow Africa did an incredible job putting together an amazing safari without much lead time. They were responsive, flexible, and professional. A friend of mine recommended Snow Africa, and I'm so glad they did! My parents and I did a 5 day safari to Ngorongoro crater, Manyara, with 2 days in Serengeti + bonus lazy Saturday in Arusha.
We stayed in amazing tented lodges along the way. Each day was filled with incredible game drives. Our guide/driver Lorry was funny, knowledgeable and very flexible when we rolled out of bed a bit late. We kept looking at each other and saying it was a once in a lifetime experience. We saw hippos (my favorite), cheetahs, a leopard, many lions, and even saw a genet!
It was amazing!

The best safari experience ever!
We changed our minds about 10 times about what kind of trip we would like to do, but Monametsi had an option to all our ideas at an affordable price. We decided on 3 tours in the end both game and water safaris. His communication was excellent, he accommodated all our meal requirements and made the whole safari experience unforgettable. They were on time, provided excellent food and blankets for the chilly mornings during the trips.
Ben is the best safari guide ever, he really went the extra mile to find and show as many animals as possible. And we saw a lot! He also shared interesting facts about the wildlife.
If you plan to go to Bostwana, I would highly recommend Moonstroll Vantage Expeditions, you won't be disappointed. I will definitely be back once again!

Happy to meet Kilimanjaro Brothers team Fantastic
George the owner made himself very available for planning and was available constantly in contact with, throughout via WhatsApp and Email the days before our trip for any last minute planning. He gave very speedy replies and was very efficient even though we made multiple changes throughout the planning of the trip. He's as eager and willing to arrange your trip as he seems!
We were very happy to meet George and the team who picked us from the Airport to a hotel in Moshi. Where we were introduced to our guide. Add the next morning Kilimanjaro brothers team came ready for briefing and a little bit excirces before leaving for Machame gate.
Supplied us with everything we needed to succeed on our summiting Mount Kilimanjaro Uhuru peak. Our expectations were regularly exceeded with all aspects of our trip! The food was fantastic, the tents and sleeping bags kept us warm and the charming personalities of the whole team who took much enjoyment in helping us because they clearly love their jobs!
As an aside, we followed the tipping recommendations I read about from their online portal and tipped the team generously.
The only other thing I'd suggest is that if it's within your means, to have the people in your trekking group consider gathering extra hiking clothing (boots, hats, head lamps, etc.) to provide as gifts or donations to the porters. No matter which company you choose, the porters are all under-dressed because they cannot afford proper hiking clothes or shoes. The clothes they do have often come as used donations. If your trekking group can collect hiking clothes from friends before traveling it would make a very nice gift to give upon your departure.
I can give George and Kilimanjaro brothers team my highest recommendation. FANTASTIC!

Best safari
We made a 2 day safari to Tsavo East. The accommodation at the Voi Safari Lodge was great. We saw a lot of animals. The Safari Provider Dicky Chikoza by KT & Safari is serious and very professional.
Thank you for a nice safari.

My first safari. They made it happen.
I am an avid traveler, I love to discover new places and see new things. It didn't take long for me to put Africa on my bucket list of places to visit with an African safari as a top priority bucket list activity. I've visited other websites and have even communicated with their employees, unfortunately, I didn't have good experiences with some of them. So upon planning my first safari, I came across Discover Africa & true to their name, they did help me discover a part of Africa. My correspondent was Karl, and I have to say that he was very efficient, I layed out the specifications for him and he quickly managed to create an itinerary for me. Things were smooth from the planning stage, to the tour itself, to the return. I had a wonderful time and I can confidently recommend Discover Africa for your first (or next) trip to Africa.
Africa is certainly a unique continent full of wonder. My first trip was a combination of two East African countries, Rwanda & Kenya. It was a great combination as there was a stark contrast between the two countries. Rwanda was a lush, green, mountainous region where farms galore. Kenya had a somewhat harsh, arid landscape. The gorillas and golden monkeys were Rwanda's flagship attraction so I didn't dare to miss the opportunity to see both. Some people opted for 2 gorilla treks as opposed to one gorilla & golden monkey trek, and I simply don't recommend that. There is beauty in both encounters & a contrast in behavior as well. The gorillas were generally more reserved and shy while the monkeys were playful and mischievous. The rules of both encounters differ as well & you had a bit more freedom with the golden monkeys. Rwandans are a very welcoming, friendly people & I lost count of how many times we got smiles, hellos and waves as we drove past them. On one occasion, a couple of cute children did a little cultural dance and song for us.
Kenya was beautiful in it's own way as well. I stayed at the Governer's Camp at the Maasai Mara & the experience was nothing short of unique. A 45 minute flight will take you away from society and into the wilderness where the camps are located. You will be greeted by gazelles, giraffes, baboons & zebras upon arrival & transferal to the camp. You will enjoy the escape from civilization, you will enjoy waking up to the grunts and roars of animals as opposed to the grunts and roars of vehicles, you will enjoy viewing the wildlife you may have seen in zoos, only this time in their natural habitat. Having breakfast while marveling at the gazelles & zebras on the horizon is an alluring experience and beats all the dinner nights I've had watching my favorite TV shows. If you get the chance, opt for some Kenyan coffee, it's a pleasure to the senses and the best I've ever tasted (and I'm not much of a coffee person).
One thing to keep in mind is that this is nature, experiences will vary from one person to the next, there are no guarantees in the wild. But I can guarantee that you will have a great overall experience. My favourite moment was witnessing the very end of a river crossing by a zeal of zebras as it rained over the Mara river. A zebra met it's end at the jaws of a crocodile. Our driver brought us closer to witness the spectacle of a bask of crocodiles engaging in a feeding frenzy like nothing I've ever seen. All of this while a rainbow arched over us. Truly awe inspiring.
