One sentence is not enough to describe Simon's persistence to find at least one lion for me! He did!
The service was really good. Everything was well organized, I had nothing to do except to enjoy the view! I can never thank Simon & Patrick enough for taking care of me for 3 days.
Thank you again Peter for everything.

Read this before deciding
I wish to start this review by telling a bit of information about me. I'm not a type of person that does extreme sports or nothing crazy for that matter. I'm the type of person who enjoys other people's company and I like to talk with people around a beer in general.
The experience of climbing Kilimandjaro is one of the deepest connection you can do to your soul. It will change your life. Now if you're reading this and thinking which tour operator to use, based on costs and reviews, then you should take this into consideration.
You will probably do this only once in your life. So it is an important decision for you. I have to say that throughout my climb, I met a few other people like me, but they were part of other tour operators. Surprisingly, many of them were complaining about their crew and the quality. It seemed that they just wanted to have it over with and not enjoying the experience.
Lost in Africa was not like this, at all. To start with the basics, the care, the attention and the quality were always their priority. Which makes it ultra important if you want to enjoy your experience to the fullest.
However, for me, the most important aspect was the human connection I made with my team. Writing this review actually brings tears to my eyes, because I already miss my team so much. The relationship created throughout the climb of the highest point in Africa was the part that makes it just more unforgettable.
They were all so caring and went above and beyond expectations.
This is why, I can only recommend Lost in Africa. You will cherish these memories all your life, and not just because of the mountain, but mostly because of the human connection with the team.
Thank you so much to Hans, for organizing.
And infinite thanks to Ismail, Patric, David, Fundi, Hamisi, Baraka, Preego, Eli, Ibrahim.

3 Day Tour From Zanzibar To Selous
We had a great time with my family to visit Selous Game Reserve, the flight was on time we arrive at Mtemere Selous and The landscape of the park is beautiful and varied; it is mainly bushy savannah surrounding Rufiji river, and there are several small lakes where animals come to drink. The fauna in Selous is exceptional. In the park, during safaris, we have seen: lions, leopards, packs of African wild dogs: I was very happy because it was the first time that I could see these fantastic animals spotted hyenas, black-backed jackals other mammals, e.g.: zebras, giraffes, buffalos, gazelles, waterbucks, warthogs… a lot of birds.

Amazing Hike
John was super quick to respond and communicated well throughout the experience. I was picked up very timely and was also able to rent some final equipment, which was all of great quality and in excellent state.
Daniel, Kevin and Timothy were a great team to have during the hike. Daniel walked in a very comfortable speed and always reminded me to take some water. Kevin was always in great spirits and Timothy cooked some excellent vegetarian dishes.
I would highly recommend this route, as the trek down to Chogoria offers some new stunning views.
I would recommend reaching out to Keshi tours directly for all arrangements.

Amazing Safari Trip
Our Safari trip was for 4 days and 3 nights. We did Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro crater safari which was perfectly organized by Emmanuel. He was very helpful with our demands and our needs and he responded immediately responded to our request, answered all questions, was flexible in terms of dates. He even helped me get a local sim card without any hassle which was a massive relief for me. We particularly liked the communication with the organizer.
Everything was included in the price - food, tents, transfer from Arusha, and back to Kilimanjaro airport (Emmanuel himself dropped us back in his car). 1 night in a nice hotel in Arusha before the safari, and the camping site at Panorama campsite, Simba campsite. One night we did our own private tented lodge in Serengeti and the driver dropped us and picked us up from the location which was half an hour away from the campsite.
The catering was impressive. My friend is strictly vegetarian and diabetic and the cook made sure she got her meal on time and cooked special meals for her. There were always full warm meals that were very good. We felt very comfortable because everything was really taken care of.
Thank you, Emmanuel and Crater Explorer team, for the awesome first safari experience in Tanzania.

Professionals, you can trust them
We had the best safari we could expect! Noel was always online and in touch (not like most services in Tanzania). He provide us with everything we need to enjoy our first safari. We are 4 adults and 2 children 5 and 7 years old. Everybody get his own experience, and was happy. The guide, his name is Gudson (not sure how to write it correct), is the very professional. He had a years of walking safaries experience in Serengeti and Tarangire, and know everything about nature of that region. Hi is in general a very intelligent person, who knows a lot, and it's very interesting to speak to him. We also saw people from France doing safari with Fur Tours, they were happy too. So, if you want to go safari, do not hesitate, just go with that professional's! P.s. recommend travellers to have 2 days in Serengeti, and probably not go to Maniara lake, but it just my opinion

2021 Safari - Tarangire / Serengeti / Ngonorogoro
We began our safari on Jan 1, 2021 in hopes to put 2020 behind us. I found Gosheni Safaris online and was immediately impressed with the attention to detail and “little extras” that were offered on the trip. I reached out via e-mail and had a response in about 24 hours - Peter was easy to work with and customized a trip for my 9 year old daughter and I that worked within our budget and dates we were available.
The safari we chose included Tarangire Reserve, Serengeti National Park and Ngonorogoro Crater - a chance to experience all of the animals that you can see on an African Safari. It included accommodations with tent lodges and the final night stay at the Farm House.
I booked the trip and we arrived in Arusha from Zanizibar. We were met at our hotel in Arusha on the first morning of our safari and was immediately put at ease by our guide Ombeni. He was genuinely interested in making our trip fun and enjoyable and was great at communicating what we were going to be doing and seeing and offered tips to help us find the wildlife as we were exploring.
All of our bookings at the lodges was handled and our guide had lots of local knowledge of the area and we were able to see the big 5, and the only thing we didn’t see was a cheetah (not from lack of trying!).
We were impressed with the experience, felt safe riding in the “safarimobile” as it was affectionately called by my daughter. Every detail from keeping the vehicle clean, knowing where the possibilities of finding the animals were, to communicating well with us during the trip was looked after.
Between the booking process and the end of our safari, Amsterdam changed their covid transit requirements and Peter and Ombeni made it possible to find a place to get covid tested in Arusha at the end of our safari. This small gesture was greatly appreciated and made traveling in 2021 much easier!
I would highly recommend both Gosheni and Ombeni for a future safari!

A memorable experience!
We have just completed our 4 day safari through the National Parks of Kenya. Every minute was enjoyable right through to the end. Our guide/driver Jonathon was very informative and made our experience a memorable one. The accommodation that the company organised was exceptional. One of the hotels was closed due to the pandemic so they organised an upgrade for us that was fantastic. All the staff we met were very friendly and could not do enough to make us feel relaxed and comfortable. We would 100% recommend Explorer Kenya for your safari needs. They certainly exceeded our expectations. Thank you again to Robert for organising our trip and Jonathon for helping us with our photographs and providing us with excellent binoculars to spot the animals.
