Unforgettable Journey
I’ve never written a review before, but my experience with Signature Safari was worthy to be the first one. Not on every trip, we accomplish the lifetime dream and come back full of appreciation for those who helped us achieve it. Signature Safari provided us the best chance to reach the summit with their expertise and the people whose mission was to ensure that our dream comes true. I can truly say that the steps to this successful adventure started when we selected Signature Safari.
My wife watched roughly a million hours of videos, and we booked 8-day Northern Circuit since longer climatization seem to lessen the chance of developing the altitude sickness. We are not so young anymore, and we wanted to make sure that we could succeed on the first try. We thought about booking with big operators, but our trusty contact in Arusha made a recommendation to use Signature Safari. It seems that Signature Safari has a great reputation among the locals, also. They were very responsive to all of our questions, and we had lots of questions. It did not matter the time, but the owner, Innocent, replied right away. He helped us navigate preparation from a packing list to training. As he accommodated all sorts of modification requests, our nervousness started to turn into excitement.
On the day of trip, we encountered issues with our flights. It happens that Turkish Airline cancelled our flight, and we end up losing one day. We informed Innocent from the Airport assuming that extra charges or even the cancellation may occur. However, he was very understanding of our situation and frustration towards the Airline. We appreciate that he comforted us and assured us that his company will be ready for us any day that we arrive to Arusha. We know that he had to do a lot – from rearranging his guides and porters to re-booking the hotel.
Once we arrived in Kilimanjaro Airport, and in Signature Safari’s hand, everything went without a hitch. We were promptly picked up and finally met Innocent and a lead guide Sebastian the next day for the briefing and gear check for a successful trek. They took us to rent the rest, helped us acquire sim cards, and lunch at a nice restaurant. They are very knowledgeable, and we felt ready to climb the mountain.
We met the crew and drove to Lemosho gate. In total we had 13 porters and guides just for us. We cannot say enough nice things to say about them. Everyone worked hard, as in carrying the entire camp on their heads and hiked at warp speed to set up our tents before arrival type working hard. However, incredibly, they never forgot to pay attention and say a few kind words of encouragement. We thank you, Sebastian, Anthony, Amani, Yusuph, Leonard, Martin, William, Julius, Gift, Peter, Siphael, Aman, and Wilbert. You made our dream come true and we certainly couldn’t have done this without you. And thank you, Innocent, for assembling the dream team.
Because of the training leading up to this trip, Hiking was not as difficult as I imagined. It definitely helped that lead guides, Sebastian and Anthony, set the pace to avoid the exhaustion and altitude sickness. They made sure that we are properly hydrated throughout the hike and checked our oxygen levels to ensure that we are in good health. They organized a big celebration for my wife’s birthday and that’s one of the events I will never forget. They were very energetic, and we enjoyed the special day so much. Our cook, Yusuph, somehow baked her birthday cake as he danced in and out of the cooking tent. I must mention that we were served generous amounts of delicious meals throughout the hike.
The summit day was hard as advertised but our guides plus my buddy, Aman, set a reasonable pace and we were able to reach the summit in about 6 hours or so. It was a majestic view from the top, and the sense of accomplishment was overwhelming.
Signature Safari’s service didn’t end even after returning to Arusha. Innocent and Sebastian came to visit us the next day to make sure everything was in order. We had trouble checking in, and they even drove us to Airport in attempt to solve the issue.
Now reflecting, I can say that we ensured the successful summit and perfect trip when we selected Signature Safari. I cannot recommend enough to use this Tanzanian owned organization to arrange the experience of their lifetime. They truly care and their goal is for us to enjoy. They will try their best to accommodate even unreasonable requests. Again, thank you, Signature Safari, for the trip of a lifetime.

Unforgettable safari experience with Signature Safari and Alen
We recently returned from a 10-day safari through Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti with Signature Safari, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! Our driver-guide Alen was absolutely amazing; knowledgeable, kind, and passionate about making every day unforgettable.
Thanks to his expertise and sharp eye, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five and so much more! Alen went above and beyond to give us the best possible experience. He was always checking in to make sure the program suited us, explaining what to expect for the day, and being incredibly thoughtful and flexible. His enthusiasm and love for nature made every moment special and by the end of the trip, he felt more like a good friend than just our guide.
We highly recommend Signature Safari, everything was perfectly organized, from start to finish. If you’re planning a safari, please ask for Alen, he’ll make your adventure truly unforgettable!
