Itinerary
- 1Venture out for a day's hiking on Africa's highest mountain, at 19,341 feet (5,895 m) above sea level. Trek the easy-level route of Marangu and admire the stunning views of the 3 volcanic peaks of Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira as your guide explains their geology and surroundings. Depart from your hotel in a 7-seat 4x4 safari vehicle and drive to Kilimanjaro National Park Gate at Marangu. After a briefing from your professional guide, trek through the lush forest up to Mandara Hut at 9,022 feet (2,750 m). Admire the scenery that surrounds you and pause for photos of the 3 volcanic peaks. Listen as your guide explains the mountain's geology—Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, while Kibo, the highest, is dormant and could erupt again. Choose to have a break for a picnic lunch at Mandara Hut forest, or after your descent to Marangu Gate, approximately 2 hours away.

- 524jonf0 contributionsPhenomenal ExperienceIf you are thinking of booking a safari in Tanzania, make sure you book with Travel Africa Safari Agency. Do not book with another agency, they offer the same exact tour with the same accommodations and same Toyota Land Cruiser Safari vehicles and charge thousands more. Special shoutout to Jackline who was super prompt in returning all of our questions promptly before we headed to Tanzania, to Joel, our Airport Shuttle Driver, who was awesome, and lastly to Aaron, our tour guide. Aaron has 22 years of experience and will take you everywhere you need to see the best wildlife scenes you could imagine. Make sure if you are thinking of booking a safari, you make the right decision and book with Travel Africa Safari Agency.Written 14 March 2025
- HolandaL0 contributionsA family holiday to Kilimanjaro (Lemosho, 7 days)Wauw! What an experience. We (2 girls from the Netherlands) booked the Kilimanjaro trip (Lemosho, 7 days) back in Holland through WhatsApp with Mohammed. Mohammed has been very helpful with answering all our questions before departure. When arrived in Arusha we met our guide the night before leaving on the trekking. He checked our gear and took us to a rental shop to rent a warm ski-pants (which we really needed!). During the hike we really felt taken good care off. Frenkie and Masai had one goal; taking us to the summit of the Kilimanjaro! And with succes! 🤩 We had great fun with all the crew; Frenkie, Masai, Petro, Emanuel, Lemburis, Isaya, Toni, Dikson, Jordan, Maiko en Samuel. They felt like family for a week. We sang and danced together and laughed a lot! The guides, Frenkie and Masai know so much about the environment, the birds, the animals and can answer any question. They are very professional. And petro, the chef, really is a Michelin star chef. He is the best! I am really recommending this company to everyone back home that wants to go to Tanzania. Thank you so much for giving us a week on the mountain that we will never forget! 🙏Written 11 March 2025
- peterjR235MM0 contributionsDefinitely worth it!!The views from Tarangire were amazing , we got see elephants, hyenas , lions, giraffes and zebras. It was also nice to see the huge baobab trees. The driver and tour guide Joseph was charming and gave us enough time to take a look at the animals. Highly recommend Joseph as the tour guide, thanks alot see you next time when I bring my family!Written 9 March 2025
- dianehC3383DJ0 contributionsGreat Tour with Aaron from Través AfricaExellent service, great tour, tour guide Aaron is a star. We are much more happy than we ever thought it could be. Thank you so much aaron and Travél Africa SafarisWritten 28 February 2025
- H3634RSsamanthad0 contributionsWonderful guide and superb experience!Our guide Joel was amazing. He picked us up promptly at 7am from where we were staying. We were not staying at a hotel so we just confirmed via WhatsApp that they could pick us up and they were able to do so. Joel is very charismatic and happy to answer all the questions we had. He always made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the entire day! He also made sure that we got pictures of Mt.Kilimanjaro when it was visible and took great photos of us which was a bonus. I would 100% recommend this tour! For the tour itself, make sure to bring swim attire if you’d like to swim. We went when it was dry and sunny out and did not need hiking boots, but sturdy shoes with good tread is recommended. Bring cash for tips or souvenirs. Apart from that there’s not much else to share as Joel basically takes care of you the entire time and will go out of his way to ensure you have a great time :)Written 22 February 2025
- kaceyq0 contributions3 Day Tanzania SafariI took a 3 day Safari with Assad and it went beyond my expectations! He went out of his way to make sure my group saw the big 5 and had the answer to every question we asked. You can tell how knowledge he is and how much he loves his job. Will definitely book him next time I come back to Tanzania.Written 13 February 2025
- janiss9830 contributionsAbsolutely Amazing/ Amazing GuideWe had an absolute wonderful time with our Guide Silas Mdoe. His Knowledge about the animals and nationalparks is out of this world. But his personality and kindness is even better. We always felt safe in every situation. We saw so many animals and he drove us to every spot possible. Thank you so much!!! We went to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro with himWritten 9 February 2025
- kevingZ6949RJ0 contributionsExcellent / excellent guide AssadWe had a wonderful 4-day safari with our guide Assad. He is very kind, respectful, and attentive! He gives us advice and helps us take photos. On top of that, he is funny and makes jokes. I highly recommend him 100%!Written 7 February 2025
- U1238NNandrewy0 contributionsFantasticGreat staff, great coordination, mid-range safari accommodations exceeded expectations. Lots of animals packed into 4 daysWritten 6 February 2025
- JoseKevo0 contributionsChildhood Dream Come True with this Lifetime Experience!I booked through another agency and was placed with Joseph on the first day for Tarangire National Park. I was then reshuffled to a group with Simon for three days in the Serengeti and one day in the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Reserve. The abundance of animals seen far exceeded any expectations and Simon went above and beyond at every opportunity to make sure we were well catered to as individuals and a group. The meals at camps, and on hood of the safari wagon, were copious and delicious; especially the homemade breads. As a seasoned traveler, this was my first safari and only my second tour but I would gladly return to Tanzania for another safari adventure - especially with Simon! Hopefully, his agency can provide him with a safari jeep of a higher quality. On the first day with Joseph, the one he was driving was newer with more room and individual consuls at each seat with working chargers - as told to expect. The one Simon had was much older, seats cramped tighter than a small airplane, only two chargers in the front not working, but worst was the loose metal frame holding the cooler in the back. Anyone sitting in the rear seats came away with scraps and cuts on backs of their legs simply from coming in/out or moving around. Simon and his guests deserve better.Written 3 February 2025
- Storyteller6013520 contributionsAmazing custom eight-day safari with Travel to AfricaWe went on an eight-day safari with Travel to Africa, and it was absolutely amazing—way beyond our expectations! Right from the start, everything went smoothly. Mohamed was super quick to respond to all our questions and helped us put together a custom safari just the way we wanted. When we arrived, Tunu and Jackline made sure everything was taken care of. Joel was so kind, friendly, and always on time—he met and saw us off at the airport and was our super guide in Arusha. But the real star of our trip was our safari guide, Athumani Simba! He’s not just a great guy but also an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable guide. He has an unbelievable eye for spotting animals from far away, predicting their movements, and getting us to the perfect spot for an unforgettable experience. We explored Ndutu, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire, and we were lucky enough to see the Big Five and so much more. Watching wildlife in their natural habitat was simply magical—like a leopard having lunch up in a tree, a herd of 28 elephants with their babies drinking, bathing, and playing in the water, and young buffaloes play-fighting. Every day was filled with incredible moments! It was truly the trip of a lifetime!Written 3 February 2025
- 484mildav0 contributionsLifetime experienceIt was definitely a lifetime experience! Our guide Mali was simply amazing, such a proffesional who was trying his best to create an unforgettable memories. Also, the food was really good, high quality, chef Simba definitely is expert in his field, we enjoyed our food, views, animals and every second of our tour, big thanks to all the staff!!Written 3 February 2025
- 481yuriiv0 contributionsUnforgettable 5-Day Safari with Asad & Travel Africa SafariReview for Travel Africa Safari & Our Guide, Asad Our recent five-day safari with Travel Africa Safari was an unforgettable experience. We visited Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara, and from start to finish, everything was exceptionally well-organized. Our guide, Asad, truly went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time possible. Safari Highlights Wildlife Encounters: We saw a staggering variety of animals—elephants up-close, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, black rhinos (from a distance), baboons, and more. The most awe-inspiring moment was witnessing the great migration of zebras and wildebeests in the Serengeti. Guide Expertise: Asad has over 11 years of experience, and his knowledge truly shone. He answered every question we had about the wildlife, their behaviors, and the local ecosystem. He also knew the best spots to find particular animals and was very patient whenever we wanted more time to take photos or explore. Friendly & Flexible Service: From ensuring we had enough water and restroom stops to accommodating small schedule changes (like letting us sleep in a bit later), Asad made us feel comfortable every step of the way. By the end of the trip, he felt more like a friend than just a guide. Extra Experiences: Even though visiting a Maasai village wasn’t initially in our plan, Asad offered to arrange it since we had some extra time, which added a culturally rich dimension to our safari. Lodging & Meals Kankari Lodge: We stayed here before starting the safari and again at the end of our journey. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable, the restaurant was excellent, and the multi-course dinners were a delicious surprise. Shu’hudia Camp: This camp exceeded all our expectations—clean, cozy, and more comfortable than many hotels in big cities. The staff was friendly and the food was consistently delicious. Embalakai Camp: Located near Ngorongoro, Embalakai Camp was another highlight. The spacious room, hot shower, and attentive staff made it one of the most comfortable lodge experiences we’ve ever had. Each accommodation offered excellent service and mouthwatering meals. From breakfast spreads to five-course dinners, the food was consistently top-notch. Overall Impression We highly recommend Travel Africa Safari and especially Asad as a guide. The entire trip ran smoothly—transportation, lodging, and meals were all well-handled. It was a true African safari experience filled with excitement, comfort, and cultural discovery. Rating: 10/10. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable five-day adventure. We’re already looking forward to our next trip! Louise & YuriiWritten 25 January 2025

Unbureaucratic contact via WhatsApp. Easy and safe payment upfront and very reliable service. I had booked a day hike on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. Oscar was a fantastic guide giving me lots of information. I can also recommend their two day safari, where they patiently tried to show us all the different animals within the parks. Can totally recommend them!

Awesome! Our trek on Kili was so professionally put together with a briefing meeting and excellent contact with owner, Mohamed. We asked him to customize our climb as one of us wanted to climb high and longer and they were more than happy to fulfill all we dreamed about Kilimanjaro. Our guides were so much fun and amazingly motivating when needed, lol. We were always comfortable and the food was delish!
I would only ever use THIS company again if visiting Tanzania again.

The day hike with John and Lucas was one of my highlights in Tanzania. We got picked up from the airport and went straight for kilimandjaro. It was a long day but it was such a nice physical activity. We enjoyed the diverse nature and the beauty of this mountain while having fun conversations with our guides. We also learnt a lot about it. I definitely recommend this day trip and even going all the way up if you have time. For me that's the goal next time for sure!
