Fantastic honeymoon
This is for our honeymoon. And it is full of wonders.
The price was reasonable. Great experience in this safari. thanks to the Mack and the guide & drivers Thomas.
We had the car dedicated to the two of us, great accommodations and awesome places visited.
Our tour started in the Lake Manyara then Serengeti, Ngorongoro for a total of 4 nights, with 1 day resting at the arrival.
We've seen all the main animals, the big 5 and many other animals.
We couldn't have asked for more!

Just great. Would choose them again.
In summary the experience was great.
The days before booking we were not convienced about how the process works. Do we pay by bank transfer (can be risky), credit card (the rates are expensive, but provides security). After reading a bit about how it works, we went on with the sensible option of going about it as we would go about it in a European or "Western country". We used Transferwise for the money transfers. We paid a 20% advance to book everything and the remaining 80% a week later. Everything went smoothly, we had prompt replies from Paul, reassuring us that everything was fine.
On arrival to Kilimanjaro a driver was there waiting for and took us to our hotel. The hotel was as expected. So far, so good. The next we met our Safari driver, Bryceson, and headed off!
That simple. Bryceson was awesome, we had an amazing time and we owe most of it to him. He took us to amazing known - for the guides - places, but he always did the extra mile and took us to more off-the-beaten-track spots (while never doing anything unsafe).
I won't comment more on the safari itself - do it it's an amazing experience.
About Roadsize Expeditions, they get a 10/10 from here, definitely booking with them when I do it again.
About the mixed Tented Lodge / Tented camp experience: I think it was exactly the right balance. The tented camps were a bit more of an adventure (but that was the reason we were there after all), the tented lodges were splendit.
A little comment about lodges, go for the Tanganyika Wilderness Camp owned ones. We stayed Maramboi, Mara Kati Kati and Lahia. Staff were super friendly, food was great (like fresh... really fresh!) and facilities are awesome.

Awesome Hike to Kilimanjaro Climbing
This is my second time in Tanzania before it was 3 years ago during 2016 when we had a family holiday for Serengeti migration and later visited Zanzibar. Truly mesmerized by the beauty of Tanzania I came back this year for Mount Kilimanjaro trekking. And I had to use back the same local tour operator Jaribu Africa Adventures as they had planned my trip year, they made it unforgettable.
I told them I want something scenic, adventurous and challenging but is less crowded. They suggested me Lemosho route and I was quite nervous as never heard it before. But after we started the journey true adventure begins.
The route offers excellent views and scenery of the mountain, the beautiful forests, plateaus, glaciers and more. Honestly, i didn't expect such an attractive place even exists in Kilimanjaro. The amazing team of Jaribu Africa Adventures again made this even more special and memorable to my wife and I.

Thank you Benson safaris for an incredible “once in a lifetime” trip!
Book with Benson safaris and you will not be disappointed! We started planning a year before the trip and Pendo in the office was amazing, answering countless emails and Skyping with us a couple of times. She was so patient with our many inquiries and responded very quickly, She even met us at the hotel in Arusha the first night to welcome us. Thank you Pendo!
We were a group of 10 in 2 safari vehicles. Our guide and driver Peter was amazing. He was such a knowledgeable, kind and caring person. He made sure we were able to see so many animals up close and provided information throughout the safari. We saw 11 lions pass right behind our safari vehicle, as well as a lion kill (wildebeest) among many other animals including elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, leopards and cheetahs. Amini was the guide and driver for the other vehicle and he was also wonderful. Ask for Peter or Amini as your guide and you will be very happy with either of them!
The luxury lodges were so beautiful! We stayed at Kubu Kubu, Maramboi, and Serena Manyara. They all had infinity pools overlooking the African landscape. Kubu Kubu had the most amazing outdoor shower and we could see some of the wildebeest crossing while in the infinity pool!
The people we met were all so welcoming and friendly. Africa is such a beautiful country and it is worth visitng for the landscape alone. The sunsets were also incredible.
At the end of our trip, we met Benson at the airport for a few minutes and he kindly gave us a departing gift of African coffee to take home with us.
Thank you Pendo, Peter, Amini and Benson. It truly was the trip of a lifetime. We will not forget the wonderful experience you provided for us.

Kilimanjaro Climbing Trek
Always had a Wishlist of visiting Tanzania and trek to the Mount Kilimanjaro. After researching for the best trekking company for Kilimanjaro, I came up with Jaribu Africa Adventure. They were very honest, kind and helpful. We landed in Kilimanjaro International airport and there was a Josep from the company who dropped us to our hotel rooms. Later, he took us to his office and introduced us to our guide for our trip to Kilimanjaro.
There we had a small meeting with Joseph, the managing director and Alex our tour guide. After that, Alex suggested us best cafes and restaurants nearby our hotel for tasting authentic Tanzania cuisine.
We were introduced to our porters and cook, wonderful group of people. Trekking with them was amazing. Our guides and porters made the trip easy, fun, exciting and very memorable. I was truly amazed by our porters; they were carrying our bags on a steep rough pathway whereas we were getting breathless even we were carrying a light backpack. Throughout the trek, we talk about our personal life stories and learn a lot of things about Kilimanjaro.
The views from Lemosho route was very scenic and beyond any imagination. A big thanks Joseph for introducing us to our guide and porters’ team for making our trekking experience everlasting. I will never forget this adventurous trip; we took with an amazing team of people.
I advice people to take physical and mental training before starting a Kilimanjaro trek as it can be very helpful while trekking on multiday trip.
I can’t forget this especially at last I would recommend Jaribu Africa Adventure to those who wants best trekking services as this company truly offers high quality services.

Unforgettable Experience in Uganda!
We booked a 4-day gorilla safari package with KSafaris and we had an absolute blast! Our trip started with a pick-up in Kigali and we drove across the border to go trekking with gorillas in Bwindi National Park. Afterwards we spent some time at Lake Bunyonyi, a highlight for sure.
Prior to the trip, we found KSafaris online and the countless 5-star reviews from past guests was comforting. We contacted the company directly to ask for more information about what they can offer and found Richard to be very responsive, helpful and professional.
We felt lucky to have Richard as our guide/driver for our trip. Always smiling and aiming to please, he's a fantastic guide and just a wonderful person too. He's been working in the travel industry for over a decade and it's clear to see his passion and dedication to show visitors a 'real travel experience' in Uganda. For anyone wishing to visit Uganda and beyond, these guys will deliver the trip of a lifetime.
Highly recommended :)
