  • 5  Days Mount Kilimanjaro Hike - Marangu Route reviewer 1
    · January 31st, 2023
    I had an incredible experience visiting Tanzania with Afrishare. The director of the company, Ibra, helped us to coordinate hiking Mount Kilimanjaro, a safari in Arusha National Park, and a month-long course on Landscape Restoration. Ibra taught us cultural lessons and did an impeccable job of selecting host families and making sure we were comfortable with them. Each day he went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed to have an excellent learning environment. Ibra is especially good at sharing his positive attitude and coordinating logistics with many stakeholders. We were also able to spend two days on safari in Arusha National Park. It was a magical experience as we were able to go on a walking safari and get very close to giraffes, water buffalo, and flamingos! After our course ended, thanks to Ibra, we were also able to plan a hiking excursion up Mount Kilimanjaro. Ibra selected a team of professional and well-trained guides to accompany us on our journey. We were able to summit and see marvelous views during our trek up the mountain. The accommodations and food on the mountain were incredible as well and surpassed my expectations. Afrishare helped to make my time in Tanzania a wonderful and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend working with Ibra and his team at Afrishare to plan your next adventure in Tanzania!

    · January 31st, 2023
    My friends and I hiked the Marangu Route (5 days) up Kilimanjaro through Afrishare and had a wonderful experience! The food was excellent, the accomodations were comfortable, and with the help of our experienced guides and a great team of porters, we made it to the summit. We felt safe and well-supported throughout our journey. The director of Afrishare, Ibra Mkwizu, was a particularly stellar host who made our experience in Tanzania welcoming and stress-free. He coordinated every aspect of our hike, including transportation and lodging on either end. Ibra sent us a driver to pick us up from Arusha, hosted us at his own home for breakfast, personally worked with us to get every piece of gear we needed and advise us on what we should pack, gave us a place to safely store the rest of our luggage, and dropped us off with our crew to begin the hike. When we got off the trail, he again hosted us for a home-cooked lunch, provided us with a room to shower, and dropped us off at the airport. We never had to worry about logistics while Ibra was taking care of us. In addition, Ibra acted as our logistics coordinator while we spent three weeks in Moshi and Arusha for a college geography course. He took care of everything — park fees, transportation, preparing host families for us to stay with, packing lunches for our days out in the field, and much more. Ibra traveled with us every day to make sure we had everything we needed to explore the Kilimanjaro region. He took on these responsibilities in addition to his normal work directing Afrishare, and did a wonderful job. I would recommend Afrishare to anyone hoping to travel to Tanzania — for a Kilimanjaro hike, safari, or anything else!

    · January 31st, 2023
    I spent four weeks working closely with AfriShare to organize my stay in Tanzania. AfriShare helped plan everything from trips to National Parks to summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro. We worked with the company’s director - Ibraham Mkwizu who made sure all of our needs were taken care of and the trips went very smoothly. I strongly recommend using this company to book any of your safari and mountaineering trips. Their service was reliable and of the highest quality. The food, lodging, and service provided on the mountain was amazing. They were very accommodating to any changes in our schedules and worked to make our time in Africa unforgettable.

    The 6 day Machame route was a huge success. The team at Afrishare was exceptional from start to finish. Ibrahim was very lovely to communicate with. Honestly, I loved every minute of it. My guide Adam was so fun. Considering I spent 7 days with him, it was a very enjoyable experience. My life felt very safe in their hands. Highly recommend! Celestine, Jomo, Adam, Siddiqi, Suleiman, Agostino, Steven, thank you very much for helping me get to the top!

    Very nice and competent guides and crew, the cabins were clean and the food excellent. However, one should factor in a few hundred dollars tip in addition to the booking cost, which is usually paid to the crew at the end of the tour.

Very good chef Daniel, we were surprised by diversity of dishes prepared given the difficult mountain conditions. No problems with airport transfer.

Showed us a lot of interesting plants, explained their usage. They were always very cheerful, we felt really well with their companion. Very good chef Daniel, we were surprised by diversity of dishes prepared given the difficult mountain conditions. All the team did a really good job. All inclusive service with airport transfer and (later) safari.

    Мы ходили на Килиманджаро по маршруту Марангу за 5 дней в декабре 2019 с компанией Afrishare Trekking and Safaris. Если кратко, то могу смело рекомендовать. Нас было 2: я и моя супруга. Гидами были Алекс и Годфри. Кроме них в команде был повар, официант и 5 портеров - все отличные ребята, все отработали на ура. В принципе, нет вопросов ни к кому. Все выложились, как надо, на совесть. Бронирование и согласование с Ибрагимом также прошло, как по маслу. С первого письма, и я это отмечу особо, он отвечал строго по существу, четко, на все поставленные вопросы, без расплывчатых формулировок. Для Африки это редкость. Мы обращались еще в несколько мест, в том числе напрямую к разрекламированному на одном известном русском форуме гиду. Вот его ответы сразу давали понять, что он даже письма читает сквозь пальцы, отвечает какими-то шаблонами невпопад. С Ибрагимом все было наоборот, мы поняли, что тут все будет четко, поэтому и предоплату внесли еще из России без сомнений, хотя считается, что в Африке лучше ничего не оплачивать вперед. Ибрагим прислал удобную ссылку на форму приема платежей для карт Visa/Mastercard. Да, платежная система взяла комиссию в 3,5%, но это все равно сильно удобнее, чем какие-то непонятные банковские переводы. 30% от суммы тура мне кажется вполне адекватная предоплата. Остаток заплатили наличностью за день до начала. Все прошло настолько четко, что не понадобилось ни одного телефонного звонка, буквально несколько писем по электронной почте и все. За день до старта к нам в отель, название я написал Ибрагиму заранее, пришел гид Алекс и помощник Ибрагима Магембе. Они осмотрели наше снаряжение и в целом, дали добро. На следующий день приехала машина с командой и мы стартанули. Все восхождение мы шли в удобном нам режиме, кормили хорошо и много, на убой. Гиды были всегда под рукой, готовые ответить или помочь, при этом не навязывались, не лезли насильно с разговорами, для нас это плюс. Вообще, было очень комфортно идти, все что нужно - всегда по графику, никуда не торопились, но и не скучали без дела, не тратили время зря. На сам штурм вышли попозже остальных, в час ночи, Алекс и Годфри вообще какие-то роботы, поднимались с нами без своей воды, вообще не пили! Помогли нести наш рюкзачок с нашей водой и чаем, мы брали с собой из России 2 термоса - всем настоятельно рекомендую! И вверх, и вниз (вниз идти кстати не менее тяжело, моя супруга вообще с вершины шла тяжелее, чем наверх) шли в нужном темпе, Алекс пел духоподъемные песни, и вообще шутил над всеми, кого мы обгоняли. Потом они с Годфри на вершине фотографировались больше нас, как будто они сами первым раз туда зашли ;) Собственно, повторю итог, Afrishare Trekking and Safaris, не смотря на то, что предложили одну из самых низкий цен на восхождение (что тоже важно), организовали и провели все в лучшем виде. Да, наверное, можно при желании к чему-то придраться, возможно, кому-то нужно, чтобы их на руках несли, но у нас нет ни одного вопроса. Все было на высоком уровне.

    Asked on March 28th, 2023

    I want to go up to the Marangoo course. There are about 5 people. I wonder how many people are the cheapest. I wonder if I can use Potter as a team, not as a porter per person. And how far do they carry our luggage I wonder which hut. Does the cost include the accommodation and food for the porters? What will be the additional cost if the climbing period is extended due to bad weather?

      TravelerWritten April 2023

      We want to stay at lodging in safari. And 2 days safari tour included Serengeti.

    • Afrishare Trekking And SafarisOperatorWritten April 2023

      For Serengeti you need at least 3 days 2 nights. I recommend: Day one: Picked up from accommodation in Arusha and start driving toward Ngorongoro crater for day game drive. Day two: Early morning, depart toward Serengeti national park via Ngorongoro conservation area. Day Three: Morning game drive in Serengeti till early afternoon then depart toward Arusha city. Price per person based on 5 people is $1080 per person for safari.
