Climbing Kilimanjaro
We LOVED Barafu Tours, they were organized, prompt, cheerful and very professional. They made sure we had everything we needed and took such good care of us. My husband and I both summited Kilimanjaro for our 50th Birthday's. It was very hard but totally worth it.
Barafu tours was the perfect operator to take us to the top. They even arranged an additional tour for us because we summited early and got back one day sooner.
I would highly recommend this tour company and it's really great to have all the cost of the trip go straight to the people who actually do all the work!

Amazing Experience climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and going on Safari
Wild Ways did a great job communicating our entire trip. The experience in destination was great. Wild Ways paired us up with guides that successfully took us through the 7 day journey all the way to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro! It was an incredible experience and we had great hospitality all the way through.
After the hike, accommodations were very nice, we loved The Farmhouse! On our Safari we saw tons of different species. Our guide was great on communicating with other operators to get us to the most desirable animals to see in the park.
All in all, I'd definitely recommend Wild Ways!

The BEST!
You know it's difficult to send money to a company half way across the world and hope you are picking the right one. Well, we were NOT disappointed. From our initial pick-up at the airport late Thursday night, to the full day of touring we spent the first day in Nairobi, on to the 6 day safari through Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, we were blessed to have found Savannah Sound Safaris. Our guide Sammy was the BEST. He was a brilliant guide, who found us all of the Big Five the first day of our safari. He navigated the horrid roads brilliantly, taking care to make the ride as easy as he could. His knowledge of the animals, and life in Kenya was outstanding. When he was unable to stay with us our last 2 days in Nairobi we were provided with another driver Steve and he was also a wonderful person to have around (though we missed Sammy). Danson, the owner came to our hotel the first day we were there to meet with us and to make sure all our plans were set and to let us know he was there if we needed anything. I really don't think we could have asked for a better company. As a mother and daughter traveling alone we felt safe and protected the whole time we were there. WE LOVE SAMMY! We even begged Sammy to come to South Africa with us for the last leg of our journey.

Experience of a Lifetime!
After a lot of consideration we decided to go ahead with Soul of Tanzania for our honeymoon. Our 5 day safari was tailor made and focused exactly on what we had asked. Right from our first email exchange with Soul to the time we said our goodbyes, everything was given special attention. What's special about Soul is that when they say - full board - they mean serious business. We had hot lunches everyday with new dishes and a mini fridge at our disposal which was always stocked with beverages and fruits!
Our guide Daniel who was truly a professional, left no stone unturned in order to get us up close and personal with the 'Big 5'. His knowledge about the flora and fauna of Tanzania coupled with his hospitable and friendly nature was more than we could have asked for.
We had a six seater land cruiser to ourselves. It had charging points which really helped in charging our cameras and phones. All national parks have check points and picnic areas which are quipped with clean bathrooms which was a blessing!
I would recommend booking with Soul to not only our friends and family but everyone out there who wants to experience African wildlife in it's full glory. We would never be able to forget how this experience made us feel.
Most definitely, this wouldn't have been possible without Soul Of Tanzania!

Amazing!
I got to know lenchada safari by my friend that came on his trip in feb. So I knew what To expect. I was part of the 5 day trip and We saw all the animals that we wanted to see. I want to thank Daniel who picked me up from my hotel for his friendliness, Joshua our driver/guide for giving us such an amazing experience, sharing your knowledge with us and thank you for the hard work! Also Stan the intern that came with us, thank you for making us feel welcome and for telling us so many jokes! Overall I think anyone thinking of choosing this tour should just do it.

Small company with a very dedicated owner
Paul, the owner of the company, really puts a LOT of effort into planning your safari and make the best out of your stay. The safari itself was amazing and the accommodations fully met/exceeded our expectations. Our driver was very knowledgable, however, he made it very clear that he would rather be with his family (it was around Christmas time). We of course understand this but this put us in a very uncomfortable situation. He only answered our questions but did not tell us a lot by himself. We also booked a beach vacation on Zanzibar with Tanzania Roadside Expedition after our safari. This part we wouldn't book again with them as we had a very unpleasant experience in the hotel booked for us (but Paul was again VERY helpful).
All in all we absolutely loved our experience and think it is very rare that someone puts as much effort into client servicing as Paul does. It was not "perfect" due to some things as listed below but your value for money is great and you sure will have a great vacation if you book with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions.

Excellent VFM and exceptional safari guide
Special thanks to Joseph Motokaa, the best safari guide in the business - dont ask me how he knows, he just knows.While all the other guides are rushing around like crazy he quietly does his job and as a result we got to see things others can only dream about. He's a real professional.
