After many investigative hours on Tripadvisor, I decided to go with ClimbKili tour company to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro because of all the positive reviews. I'm happy to report that all the wonderful reviews were correct. We stayed at the Summit Lodge in Arusha. It was nice and clean with hot water showers. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. There is a little restaurant there at the lodge where we ate all our meals. We had one relax day before we started our trek, so we hired one of the cars ($20) to take us into town to do some shopping at the Massai market and the Cultural Center. Great spots for souvenir and tanzanite shopping. The day before the trek we met our lead guide Seraphine. He turned out to be wonderful! He and his staff took care of our every need no matter how small or big. We had 3 porters for every climber, three guides, a chef, and a waiter. There were both men and woman in our group

We highly recommend touring with OneBike. In the planning stages, OneBike staff were excellent communicators who were flexible and accommodating in tailoring a 3-day tour to meet all of our goals. The trip itself exceeded our expectations on every front by combining biking with a traditional safari and cultural program. It was amazing to bike amidst safari animals, interact with local people and learn about Maasai culture. A wide range of cyclers can partake, even kids, because those who want a break can ride in the support vehicle. Hillary and Octavian were friendly, professional, knowledgeable guides who shared fascinating information about the area's flora and fauna as well as the local and tribal cultures, while Octavian was an experienced, careful and safe driver. We stayed in beautiful lodges with comfortable accommodations and delicious, locally grown food. If you like biking and outdoor adventures and want to have a new experience that is a twist on traditional the safari, go with OneBike!

This tour delivered on all points. My guide, Juma was professional, very knowledgeable, and eager to share information. He was a perfect gentleman along with being my private photographer. Because he was taking photos, I could pay attention to the tour and concentrate on history shared by the guide at the slade trade history museum. The information was extremely emotional for me, but certainly worth the time and cost of the tour. Oh! And the driver was friendly and safe. Loved the entire tour!

I just returned from a 5 day safari with Meru Slope Tours traveling to Tarangire, Serengeti, and the Ngorogoro crater. What an experience! Communication was excellent, always responded quickly to any questions that I had, and a staff member was waiting on my at the airport. Service was excellent and really exceeded my expectations. My guide, Ashley, could not have been better! His experience and knowledge allowed me to see and witness things that most may not ever get to see. I witnessed drivers from other companies cut others off and get too close to the animals, making them uncomfortable. Fortunately my guide, nor any of the other Meru slope tours drivers, ever tried to get too close or cut anyone off. Serengeti was by far my favorite! But the other places were awesome as well! I did not want to leave! But I hope to return someday soon and will definitely use Meru slope Tours again!

We went on a one night two days safari with this company and it was so magical. We got to see so many animals, thanks to our amazing guide, Mariam. Mariam was so full of energy and on a good mood all the time, it was such a pleasure to spend those two days with her. We also had the opportunity to spend some time with Silas, our driver who is also a guide, and he was also so nice and knew everything about the park and the animals. We highly recommend the night game drive which is a complete different atmosphere from the day one and which allowed us to see more animals. Edward, the owner, was so helpful and very responsive via WhatsApp. We never got a problem with organising the trip, even from far away, he helped us book our ferry tickets to Zanzibar and arranged everything from and to Dar es Salaam. This was an incredible experience that we will never forget !! Especially because of the lions that we saw !! Thank you again, Étienne and Chloe
