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!

Highly recomend Maua Adventures. We made Kilimanjaro, safari and Oldonyo Lengai. All trips were perfectly planned. Profesional support on climbing Kili made us feeling safe. If you are making safari ask Jackson for off-road to Oldonyo Lengai and Lake Natron. Maybe he will organise it for you.

After friends had told us about their Kili trek we got hooked on the idea of our own trip to Tanzania to climb that famous mountain. The guide of the trek we had been told about also had taken the bold step to create his own company - Kili Land Adventures. So we decided to seize the opportunity and contacted Kili Land Adventures about our tour. Their planning efforts started immediately and we were presented with a tour plan (Lemosho route) that we felt was very sensible and tailored to our abilities. A packing list was provided and many more details via email. The trip itself was very much at stake during the Covid-19 times, but in the end we could travel to Tanzania using Qatar Airways. Our hike onto Mount Kili was an unforgettable experience. Our crew of guides, porters and one cook were the kindest and most supportive people imaginable. They cared for us very, very well; they judged our progress on the mountain and proposed favorable modifications to the tour plan to optimize our use of time and to ensure good progress on our way to the summit. In the end we had some "difficulties" only on the summit day (which was to be expected), but all the other days went very smoothly thanks to the crew's diligent planning of our acclimatization. And finally, we made it to the summit, all four of us, just as planned! It was difficult (I won't lie about that!), but in the end we felt safe and confident, throughout the summit day. The guides were very generous in answering all of our (many!) questions and patiently waited for us to take hundreds of photos. I have the highest respect for the people of our crew, be it the guides or the porters, these guys are some of the toughest persons on this planet. Let me add that after our Kili trip we also went on to some days of safari (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti). Our safari driver-guide was suggested and hired for us also by Kili Land Adventures (although the guide does not work directly for them). This guide was extremely motivated, kind, and knowledgable, and therefore the whole safari was absolutely on par with our unforgettable Kili trip. So if you consider traveling to Tanzania, do yourself a favor and contact Kili Land Adventures to work out a plan for you. You will be a happy customer ...

Safari in Tanzania is one of the things you must do in life. It’s such a mind-blowing experience. Imagine seeing all kind of animals living in harmony, having their own world. Imagine getting so close to a lion and have a face to face moment. I was so lucky to meet Gea and take the decision of going on a safari with his tour. Everything was amazing according to the budget which was half the price everywhere else. The campsite was clean, staff were hospitable and the food was good. The driver was patient and keen to show us everything. I was really impressed with the African show and music at night- was such a surprise. I really recommend Moana tours because the owner is a genuine person who cares about making people happy not rip them off, which is not the case with most of safari tours.

Me and my friends climbed Mount Kilimanjaro via the 6 day Machame route. It was one of the most difficult but at the same time amazing thing I have ever done in my life. The thrill of standing there, at the peak touching the sign saying you have successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro is something I cannot explain as it is beyond words. I would truly recommend Pinnacle adventures and Safaris Co L.t.d to anyone wishing to summit the mountain. Thank you again Pinnacle for giving us the experience of a lifetime!

Machame Route 6 Days 5 Nights Overview: Machame Route now vies with – and indeed over the last few years has overtaken – the Marangu Route as the most popular trail. Machame is also the regarded by many guides as the most enjoyable, though it is longer and, according to most, more arduous. Despite this, the success rate on the Machame Route is higher than on the Marangu Route, possibly because the Machame is a day longer at six days and five nights (assuming you take the Barafu Route to the summit) which gives trekkers more time to acclimatize. An extra acclimatization day can – and usually is -taken in the Karanga Valley. The Machame Route also gives you the option of taking the Western Breach / Arrow Glacier Route to the summit.

It was an amazing experience that leaves a mark on the soul of a sensitive person forever. If you are not afraid that a piece of you and your heart, will stay in Africa - decide on an adventure with Migration Venture Africa. Perfect organization, logistics and a high standard, together with a committed and experienced employee of the company, are guarantee for wonderful 6 days. Our driver and guide was TOM, an extremely sociable, intelligent and responsible person. We already know that we will come back to safari and only with Migration Venture Africa. For us, the end of the safari was not a "Out of Africa", but the beginning of a long-term relationship with this continent To było niesamowite doświadczenie, które na zawsze pozostawia ślad w duszy wrażliwego człowieka. Jeśli nie boisz się tego, że kawałek Ciebie, a przede wszystkim Twojego serca zostanie w Afryce - zdecyduj się na przygodę z Migration Venture Africa. Doskonała organizacja, dopracowana logistykaz wysoki standard, w pakiecie z zaangażowanym i doświadczonym pracownikiem firmy są gwarancją wspaniałego spędzenia 6 dni.

Kikuletwa Hot Springs also known as Rundugai hot water springs or Chemka hot springs are an unexpected paradise hidden in the desert scrub outside the town of Boma Situated about 71 km from Arusha They are an extraordinary phenomenon, rushing up from underground in the middle of parched and dusty landscape. In fact, the water is not hot rather it is a pleasant temperature! This is a good place to visit for a picnic and a swim too. And the views of Kilimanjaro on a clear day are also fabulous. Unfortunately, the water is full of fluoride which means the local people can’t use it for drinking. The crystal-clear, turquoise waters surrounded by palm trees and winding roots offer a picturesque spot for a relaxing afternoon swim. The spring is actually rather big and over 6 meters deep in some places although you can see the bottom through the crystal clear waters no matter where you are. You can have as much fun or relaxation as your heart desires and your mind and body needs

Inclusions: All Fees and Taxes, Private transportation
