Our 5-day safari in Serengeti National Park was deeply disappointing due to serious vehicle issues that severely impacted the experience. Two out of the five days were lost to repeated car breakdowns. The vehicle provided was in poor condition, unsafe, and unreliable for long distances on safari terrain. Instead of exploring and viewing wildlife, we spent hours waiting for repairs.
This loss of time significantly reduced the value of the trip and caused unnecessary stress during what should have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience. A safari company should prioritize guest safety and dependable transport, especially in remote areas. Unfortunately, the condition of the vehicle and the repeated mechanical failures made this safari far below acceptable standards.
In addition, the Tour Operator of Afrishare Ibrahim Mkwizu, treated us with a lack of care. His exchange via messages was rude and disrespectful. His inability to show a level of understanding and care for what had happened was shocking.
The only shinning light was our guide Deo, who tried his very best to manage the situation and tried to ensure we experienced all the safari had to offer with the limited time.

I recently went on a 7 day hike of Lemosho route with Ibrah and Afrishare. We had an unbelievable experience that I will never forget. There was plenty of communication beforehand to make sure we were well prepared for what we would experience. I forget to get Daimox (I would highly recommend) before I arrived, so Ibrah graciously took me to a local pharmacy to acquire some. The hike itself was amazing. We actually ended up completing it in 5 days instead of the scheduled 7 due to us choosing to go on to the next camps a handful of times. The views were absolutely breathtaking and if you are a stargazer, you will not be disappointed. If it weren't for the cold at night, I could have sat outside and stared at the stars for hours. It was a very physically and mentally taxing hike, but the overall experience was more than worth it. Ibrah and his team were very attentive, and more than happy to accommodate with all reasonable requests (We brought along our own private portable toilet!). I am extremely grateful to both Ibrah and Afrishare for making this such an incredible experience and I would highly recommend others to reach out to them if you are looking for a Kili hike or safari.
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.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.
I would like to sincerely thank you and your team for the amazing job in taking care of us throughout our 8-day Africa tour. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and executed with great attention to detail.The accommodations, transfers, safari experiences, and local activities were all handled seamlessly, allowing us to simply enjoy and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Kenya and Tanzania without any worries.Special mention to our Tanzania Guide, Moses. Thank you once again for your outstanding service.
I have just returned from an unforgettable safari in Tanzania organized by Afrishare, and everything exceeded my expectations. The entire trip was exactly as agreed, with flawless organisation and excellent communication from start to finish. The guides were highly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, making the experience both safe and deeply enriching.The safari offered breathtaking landscapes, remarkable wildlife encounters, and moments I will treasure forever.A truly unique adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend Afrishare to anyone seeking an authentic and memorable safari in Tanzania.
Top-notch Safari!What an absolute amazing time we had in Kenya and Tanzania!!! Truly, the guides make all the difference. Jeff picked us up in Nairobi and got us to seeing wildlife in a blink of an eye. He was thoroughly knowledgeable about the animals and the environment, and this made all the difference.Jeff transferred us at the Tanzanian border over to Okuli who immersed us in the brand new environment of the Serengeti. When it seemed as though we had seen it all, he took us to Ngorongoro which is its own ecosystem. Because he was from the area, he was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and he made everything fun!I could not have dreamed of a more ideal Safari!
The company was amazing! Very easy to communicate, planned every detail and took care of us the whole time. Ibrahim was incredibly helpful in answering questions. We saw many animals but by far the best part was our incredible guides! Moses and Jeff took great care of us. They were kind, welcoming guides who made sure we had everything we needed and got to see lots of animals. Thank you Afrishare for a great experience!
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!
WOW! What a great experience with our guides! We were a party of 7 with 2 Land Cruisers and 4 Guides traveling in Kenya and Tanzania. Chris and Jeff started out our Safari in Nairobi as we headed to Masai Mara for a few days. I know it doesn't always happen, but we saw the big 5 the first day. Chris and Jeff are both amazing, they are kind, funny and great with kids. Our safety is always at forefront of everything we did. They were great safe drivers too. When in Kenya for a safari, Afrishare and these 2 guides should be your first choice!They took us to the boarder of Tanzania where they helped us clear customs and immigrations (super easy but it was the low season) and we met our new guides/drivers Moses and Okuli. These two were just as great as their teamIn Kenya! Safety was their priority and they were equally as kind, fun and great with our kids. Both sets of vehicles were fine as well. We had one small issue but our guides are trained in car maintenance as well and it really didn't impact our day at all. These cars take a beating on the roads and our guide did a great job driving. Every morning the Land Cruiser was cleaned inside and out and ready for another day of fun! What I also liked was how all the guides support tourism and communicate over a radio where they find the animals. They are all very friendly with each other. We can’t say enough wonderful comments about all 4 of these guides. They know so much about the animals and have a trained eye for finding them. They also can tell you so much about their environment and anything safari. We read a bunch of reviews to figure out which company to work with. Ibrahim put together a great custom package for us and was very helpful in the planning phase. We did struggle a bit with him (as other review suggest also) toward the end getting confirmed documents but he is true to his word, very kind and they are a great company. We would use them every time we head their way. Thank you Moses, Okuli, Jeff and Chris. We met as strangers and left as friends! It was so fun creating memories with you all! Also , our flight cancelled going home. Okuli found us a great place to stay with a pool and resort feel. He picked us up the next day, made a few stops (where Moses surprised us to say goodbye again) and headed to the airport. Just so incredibly kind!
