We had an incredible time on our Kilimanjaro trek. We could not have done it without the support we received from our guides and porters and we are extremely grateful for everything they did for us from carrying our bags and setting up our tents, to cooking the most nutritious and delicious food for us. Everyone was so friendly and genuinely caring. Although I didn’t make it to the summit due to altitude sickness, my husband did and I am looking forward to returning next year for attempt number 2!

Our experience with the Safari company was simply outstanding and unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, with incredible attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine passion for what they do. A very special thank you to Nestori and Justine, who were truly exceptional. Always kind, helpful, and smiling, with deep knowledge and a constant willingness to make sure we were comfortable and happy at all times. They didn’t just guide us on a safari — they created a once-in-a-lifetime experience filled with safety, fascinating insights, and truly authentic moments. And of course, the food deserves its own applause! The meals prepared by Chef Moxin were absolutely amazing — delicious, beautifully prepared, and far beyond anything we expected on a safari. Every meal was a highlight and clearly showed his talent and passion. Overall, this team goes above and beyond. If you are considering a safari, this company is an absolute must. We recommend them wholeheartedly and would choose them again without a second thought!
