A Memorable Trek to the Roof of Africa (6-day Machame Route)
My friend and I embarked on a 6-day Machame Route trek, a challenging yet rewarding path that promised breathtaking vistas and an exhilarating challenge and we definitely enjoyed every minute of this adventure thanks to our amazing guides William and Amani and the whole crew!
Our guides, William and Amani, were the epitome of expertise and support. Their knowledge of the mountain ecosystem was vast, and they shared it with us in a way that made our ascent even more enriching. They were constantly on the lookout for our well-being, ensuring our safety and providing valuable insights into the changing terrain and rising altitude. William and Amani were also extremely positive and supportive, especially during the summit day. I can safely say that I would not have made it to the top without their top-notch support and constant cheering.
Eli, our chef, was a culinary maestro. Each meal was a symphony of flavors and textures, meticulously prepared to fuel our bodies for the demanding days ahead. We were amazed to see how well he was able to cook in the improvised camping environment. His culinary skills were truly exceptional, and we were grateful for his ability to nourish us with such delicious and nutritious meals.
The porters, a tireless and cheerful bunch, were the backbone of our expedition. They carried our tents, food, and equipment with unwavering dedication, their strength and endurance inspiring us to persevere. Moreover, they proved to be also a great entertainers and singers as they greeted us with an amazing medley of songs on many occasions, even after we successfully ascended the Uhuru peak. I would also like to thank Belfast again for helping me walk safely back to base camp when the fatigue really hit me.
Special mention goes to Honest who was taking care of our tent and serving us the amazing food prepared by the chef. He was always very kind and ready to help, ensured that our water bottles were always full and our snacks were readily available, often anticipating our needs before we even realized them. His willingness to go the extra mile added a touch of personal care that made our experience even more memorable.
Lastly, all the preparation before the trip was also smooth thanks to truly 24/7 support from Alex who was always promptly responding via WhatsApp and anything was not a problem for him. Alex was even able to get us a recipe for the delicious banana stew we had for lunch one day during the trek :)
To summarise, our Machame Route trek was an adventure that surpassed all expectations. The occasional bouts of altitude sickness tested our resolve, but the support of our guides, chef, and porters kept us going. Their encouragement and shared experiences helped us push through the physical discomfort and maintain focus on the summit. I would recommend this trek to anyone seeking an unforgettable challenge and a chance to connect with nature on a profound level while being supported by the great team of Leken adventures.

The very best!
Our trip with Suricata Safari was absolutely wonderful!! From the pickup at the airport to our tour of Arusha on the first day, everything was well organized. We were absolutely pleased with our guide/driver Rocky, who was always extremely attentive and very knowledgeable. He shared his love for nature with us and made sure that we got to see not only the "big 5", but also many, many other animals, some from very close up. We visited several national parks (Tarangire, Ngorogoro, Serengeti, Lake Manyara...) and enjoyed each and every one to the fullest. Our lodgings at Suricata Boma Lodge (beautifully located hotel with lovely rooms) and Sound of Silence tented camp were perfect and we felt "pampered" with delicious food and super friendly service. This safari was an amazing, wonderful experience thanks to the Suricata team!!!

We weren't lucky enough tou see all the big 5 , but that wasn't a problem at all cause our guide Dennis was very good , providing us a safari full of adrenalin ,as we wanted it to be , and 4 days that will be unforgettable .Fisherman camp and AA lodge mara were the best stays , better than we could imagine . They are professional. Just make the click and do a safari with them .

Our guide treated us like family
We enjoyed our time with our tour guide Dickson. He made it his duty to make sure we saw all the animals possible during our game drive and to have a good time. We didn’t feel rushed and and he made sure to continuously check-in.

Really cool!
We love Viatu and we had several fantastic trips with them, including the our last trip to Zanzibar in December 2023. Really cool hotels and arrangements, always quick replies and extremely friendly service. I loved the beautiful trip itinerary composed for us, we got really good rates for the hotels and felt very safe with their support.

Great First Time Masai Mara Safari
What a great first time safari in Masai Mara. I was amazed with how African Vulture Safaris conducted the tour, it was perfect in all ways. Thank you for making my first Kenya safari memorable.
