Reviews
Great experience! Would definitely recommend it to others!
Better late then never. When we got back from our trip, we more or less were sucked into normal life but thought many times of writing this review because we loved every minute of it and think back often. We went on a three day Safari with Afrishare and it was really great! We had a tight schedule of travelling and really wanted to do a safari. Because nobody had booked for the same period, Ibrahim did his best to find extra people which would lower the price (group instead of a private tour). Thankfully he found one extra person, so it was more or less a private tour for a group-tour price :) Ibraham was very helpful and quick in his replies always. In the very beginning, we actually remember that we were doubting if it was all real, as we read so many good reviews for this budget trip that we could not believe it was real. So we promised ourselves to mention this in our review for other people who have doubts like us. It is all true, the value for money, the food and accommodation and good safari-car with a great guide in it. Our guide and driver Fredy was really nice and explained us a lot. We felt in good hands and had a lot of fun together! We actually saw 4 of the big 5 :) Sadly the leopard wasn't willing to show himself :( The camp where we slept (Heaven Nature) was very good for a budget tour. More than we expected, we were actually surprised. Good tents and the shower was more or less warm. After dining a few drinks on the terrace to end the day (yes the sell beers!). We can truly recommend going on a safari trip with Afrishare! Thank you Ibrahim, Fredy and the cook (sorry forgot his name).

Experience of my life
We spent 6 days on safari and in contact with the culture of Tanzania, trusting Afrishare, and they were the most beautiful days of our lives so far. The most important part of this experience was our guide, Mosses, who from the first moment he picked us up from the airport until the last, did not stop taking care of our needs, our safety and of course, having fun. Although we had a car breakdown that delayed us for 3 hours, Mosses managed not to lose our day and to continue our program normally until the end. Thank you for the unforgettable experience and we hope to see you again soon!

Great experience. Okuli was a great guide. Safe informative and a great spotter. Thumbs up.
A great value. The hotel choices fit perfectly with the tour. Okuli was a great guide. All the animals were as promised. We had a lioness walk right under our vehicle in the crater. Okuli was able to find lions mating, elephants with babies, a rhino, lots of hippos
a pride of lions and so many giraffes, monkeys, baboons, zebras, water buffaloes, and warthogs. I loved it. A dream come true.

Our guide Moses has it down to a art form
There is a reason why 186 5 stars out of 199 reviews!!!
We took 4 days 3 Nights safari with Afrishare. We spent 3 days in Serengeti and rest of the time in Ngorogoro... thanks to the expertise of the guide provided by Afrishare Somehow the guide @Moses had knack and patience to take us to the right areas where animals can be seen. His understanding of animal behaviour and timing for us to see what we did see was to an art form. We have many friends who have been on Safari’s and my brother was a guide for many safari companies and we have seen more than most. His professionalism, communication and Charisma made this experience the best.
The food cooked and served by @Rafiqi was amazing for every meal. He understood our needs.And made more than we could eat. We were never hungry.
There will always be challenges on a Safari like weather, vehicle . Illness or the animals are just not active but professionalism like this will always make it the best experience as possible.
Thank you for our best experience

Afrishare is Amazing!
I volunteered in Tanzania in 2012 and lived at Afrishare for 6 months. I felt immediately at home. The family is wonderful, kind and funny. They will totally spoil you. The food is amazing. I rarely eat out because I have not found African food anywhere else that compares. Afrishare has a wide variety of volunteer placement opportunities, which will expose you to life in Tanzania. I have also taken several trips through Afrishare in both 2012 and 2014. Each one has been professional and well-organized. There are many choices and you can learn so much about the people and culture. I strongly recommend Afrishare because their accommodations are great, the trips are spectacular and the volunteer placements are so varied and meaningful.

Kilimanjaro climb and safari
I would absolutely recommend Afrishare! Ibrah, the owner, organized the most unforgettable trip for my friends and I. We started off with a safari to Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara. I couldn't believe all the animals we saw. Elephants were standing right next to our jeep and I couldn't even count all the giraffes, hippos, lions and warthogs we saw. I was nervous about the Kilimanjaro climb but Ibrah put me at ease. He made sure everything went smoothly and I was packed with all the items I needed for the climb. Kilimanjaro was challenging but an awesome experience. I was so impressed that I have recommended a few of my friends book their safari's and climbs through Afrishare.

6 Day Tanzania Safari
A bucket list experience. We had Okuli as our driver and guide, he was exceptional!! He went above and beyond to make sure we saw the Big 5, was flexible with our schedule/needs, great driving, friendly, kind, knowledgeable, made us feel safe & was the key to making it an amazing adventure. The guide literally does all the work(not the company) so having a great guide makes all the difference & they should be compensated properly for it all. HIGHLY RECOMMEND using okuli. If we come back we’ll request him directly. If you can, ask for him—He is Truly the best.
As for the locations, we did 4 (two below + tarangire park & lake managers). But if you are on a time crunch or want some down time, I recommend doing Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Adding in a day to enjoy the lodge or get a break should be added to your itinerary, we didn’t have that and it can be very tiring as they are long days.
We drove both ways but next time we’ll probably drive there from Arusha and fly back from Serengeti to JRO; as it’s a lot of driving and car time on bumpy dusty roads.
Also bring extra cash, most guides stop at a Maasai tribe and it cost $50-100 USD for 2 people in cash (which we didn’t plan for). It’s cool to see other cultures & can be quick so you should do it.
We stayed at Serena lodges and Simba Tentedcamp. The lodges are nicer but both were great and staff was attentive and friendly at both.
Overall great experience!

What an amazing experience!!
We had a great experience with Afrishare! Everything was arranged perfectly, we didn’t need to worry about nothing but to enjoy the safari and see beautiful landscapes and rest in amazing hotels (try to stay at least one night in a tented camp for a unique experience - amazing starry sky with the wildlife noises throughout the night).
Special thanks to Jeff, our very skilled and professional driver in Kenya and to Okuli in Tanzania, who was very helpful and kind to us throughout our stay.

AMAZING Safari! Thank you Afrishare for making our trip so special!
Truly an AMAZING experience! We could not have had asked for a better trip. A safari is a BIG trip with a lot of moving parts and variables (especially when traveling with kids), and Afrishare made it easy. From the very first interactions with Ibriham, who customized our trip to exactly where we wanted to go, what we wanted to see, and in what type of places we wanted to stay, Afrishare made the entire experience effortless. Everything was handled down to the smallest detail. We wanted to see A LOT in just seven days, and Afrishare made it happen. Our party of 7, including 4 children, flew into Nairobi and were greeted with a warm welcome. We then headed up to the Maisaa Mara with our guides Geofrey and Chris (who were our guides for the Kenya portion of our trip). Both Geofrey and Chris spoke impeccable English and were very kind and knowledgeable of the area and the animals. Geofrey even managed to find all the big 5 in our very first day of the Safari (we still cannot believe that he was able to spot that rhino!)
After a few days in the Mara, we then headed over to the Northern Serengeti, where we met up with our new guides Okuli and Moses (who were our guides for the Tanzania portion of our trip). Okuli and Moses were absolutely amazing!!!!! They were so fun, knowledgeable (they also spoke perfect English), kind, great with the kids, and just really fun to be around. They guided us through the Central and Southern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park for the next four days to so many amazing sights. They always seemed to know just where to find the animals and were very patient with our many requests for pictures and stops.
All of the camps that Afrishare booked for us throughout our journey were also top notch. And, when our return flight home was cancelled the morning that we were supposed to depart, our guides were able to recommend and book us into another amazing lodge. Okuli and Moses did not hesitate to help us navigate our delay by ensuring that we had a place to stay and transportation to the airport the next day.
I really cannot recommend Afrishare more. They more than exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely use Afrishare for any future travel to East Africa. The kids are already asking when we can go back to Africa. We truly feel like we now have friends in Africa. Thank you Afrishare for making our trip so special!

Professionalism all the way!
We planned and booked our safari by communication via email. But this not a problem at all, because Ibrahim was always giving it his best by listening to our needs and dreams and coming up with solutions that would fit both our expectations and value for money. And talking about value for money; I do not know how this could have been any better. There was never any nonsense about anything; Payment was easy, adjustments were easy to make and Ibrahim delivered above and beyond!
Our guide (Hillary) had a lot of knowledge, was good with talking to the kids and a good driver.
We will definitely use Afrishare again and will highly recommend them to anyone who asks.
