- cindyfP6256ID0 contributionsLuxury Safari to Ngorongori, Serengeti, Tarangire National ParksWe are on our last day of this Luxury Safari with AfriShare Treking and Safari, what a great trip! Excellent accommodations and our tour guide Mosses was 10 stars. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about every park we went to and every animal we saw!!! He located all the Big 5 and many more birds and animals, excellent time!!! When we return we will definitely book again through AfriShare as Ibrahim did a great job for us as well. Will also request Mosses as he was the best!!!!Written June 22, 2023
- MichelleABW0 contributionsamazing memories and great picturesIt was a absolutly amazing safari with our guide Yona. He always did his best that we see the animals of Tanzania. He was always on time and told us a lot about the animals and the life. He was friendly and really peaceful. It was such an amazing experience that we saw all Big 5. We saw also some really rare animals like rhino or leopards. He was always spotting for some animals to show us. I’ve never seen so many animals and never that close. This experience was unforgetable. There‘s honestly nothing bad to say. The communication with AfriShare was good and we received always really quick a reply when we had questions. The karatu simba lodge was beautiful like the osupuka camp. Just the the first Lodge I think the name was Tembe Lodge was not really comfortable. The staff was unfriendly. But nevertheless it was an amazing safari with even more beautiful pictures of girafs, elephants, monkeys, rhinos, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, chitaahs, leopards and many more. Thank you Ibrahim and Yona for this great week with you!Written February 13, 2021
- joninh0 contributionsUnique experienceMy girlfriend and I did the 6 day Luxury Safari. Punctually at 8am our driver Yona arrived at our hotel in Arusha where our Safari experience started. We had six unforgettable days in Tarangire, Ngorogoro, Serengeti and lake manyara. Our driver was so nice and made our trip so comfortable and interesting. We were so lucky and saw all of the Big fives. While the Twiga lodge was okay, but nothing special, the other Lodges and camps were phenomenal. For the very competitive prices Ibrahim offers, we couldn‘t ask for more. Everything was well organized and Ibrahim and Yona also did their best to help us with our pcr-test. I can just recommend this safari with afrishare for everyone who want a unique lifetime experience for a very reasonable price.Written February 13, 2021
- koalaboomka0 contributionsAmazing safari trip and memories for lifeOur trip has started much before our arrival to Tansania. Ibrahim provided fast and on point responses and he was very flexible and reacted positively on our requests. Tour guide and driver Atif was amazing and brought us to the best spots to see the wild animals. Afrishare booked the best lodges in my opinion, they were very comfortable and adventurous.Written February 12, 2021
- EvaBerg120 contributionsA great safari, well organised, superb guide, good accommodations and food, lots of animals to see.The communication with the organizer was well functioning. We got picked up in time and was well taken care of by the guide. Our expectations were more than fulfilled. The guide was devoted to finding the animals, we got to see the big five and much more. Very nice lodges and an exciting experience to stay in the tented lodge in Serengeti. We can gladly recommend Afrishare Trekking and safaris.Written February 23, 2019
- NM_nams0 contributionsBEST Experience Ever!! Highly Recommended!Our trip with Afrishare safaris was incredible. From the moment both Ibrahim and Freddy met us at the airport to the day we had to say goodbye to our wonderful guide Freddy everything was amazing. Our trip included 2 days in Tarangire National park, 4 days in the Serengeti, 1 day in the Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Eyasi. We also did the Hot air balloon ride at Serengeti NP, visited Hadzabe and Datoga tribe. We loved every minute of our trip. Our guide Freddy was extremely knowledgeable and I have no idea how he spotted all those animals without binoculars :) He was friendly, courteous and he made sure that we were comfortable throughout the journey. He was always willing to accommodate whatever we wanted to do. Thanks to Freddy, we saw ALL of the BIG 5. He got us close ups of every animal you could want to see - Lions, Rhinos, Giraffe, Cheetah eating a meal, Leopard sleeping on tree, Zebra, Crocodile, Hippos and on and on, absolutely fantastic. He started off our guide and honestly, ended a friend! We had a fabulous experience and I would highly recommend Afrishare and Freddy to anyone. ASANTE SANA Afrishare, Ibrahim and Freddy for this lifetime experience :)Written December 12, 2018
- PitaBella0 contributionsPerfect Safari Trip and a lifetime experienceWe were a group of 7 friends for our Tanzania trip. We had the perfect vacation thanks to Afrishare and Freddy. Ibrahim was very responsive and offered us the itinerary that we wanted. Ibrahim and Freddy (our guide) came to airport and picked us up. Our trip included Tarangire, Serengeti , Hot air balloon ride at Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Eyasi. We also visited Hadzabe and Datoga tribes. Freddy would brief us about the morning trip every evening during dinner time. He was very punctual and too care of us like a big brother (Kaka in Swahili :) ). Freddy was a great animal spotter and made sure we saw the big 5 and more. He was really patient and gave us ample time to enjoy the beauty of surrounding and animals. He also took us to local stores for shopping. Freddy was always communicating with other guides and made sure we reach the spots where something interesting was going on : we saw Cheetah Stalking an Impala, Rhinos etc. He made sure the car was inspected after every trip, cleaned up the car, refilled water. We learned quite a bit about Tanzania from Freddy. He was the highlight of our trip, very friendly , funny, humble. The trip was fantastic and I would totally recommend Afrishare + Freddy !Written December 9, 2018
- maxtetcollet0 contributionsA unforgettable safari with the familyTour guides were excellent, always on time, they knew the best spots to see the wild, very eager to help you. Also they were very good drivers. They respected Bibi. If there is anything to discuss it is the lunchbox. We had a lot of leftovers. That was a pity. It is hard to make it with the content of everyone, but a little bit variable food would be better. Our lodges were very good also.Written August 13, 2018
- travelmamma230 contributionsAmazing Safari experience!Just returned from a 6 day safari with AfriShare. My family of 9 had 2 cars and 2 guides. I never expected to see so many animals. It exceeded all my expectations by far. The guides were great and answered all our questions about animals and other things. We had certain animals we most wanted to see and they made sure we were able to see them. The places they arranged for us to stay were also all great. There was something special about each place we stayed. I would book with this company again anytime and will recommend it to anyone I know wishing to travel to this region. This was definitely a trip of a lifetime for my family.Written August 9, 2018
- Quochp0 contributionsAn amazing adventure of a lifetime~!Being a young but well versed traveler, I've seen and experienced many things, but to say that the experience I had with Afrishare was one of the best experiences I've ever had is an understatement. I had initially met Ibrahim, the owner, in the NY travel show, where he had traveled to from all the way in Tanzania. There, my father and I were able to sit down and plan out the best and most affordable journey for us, from which national parks we wanted to visit, to the lodging or camping accommodations. He was very courteous and showed us images of the places we were staying and even threw in a couple of cute trinkets from Tanzania. This man helped create the most ideal itinerary for us, working with our needs incorporated everything we needed to see in Tanzania. The trip itself was spectacular. Our driver and guide, Emmanuel, took us each day from our lodge and drove us on game drives through various parks. The car provided was clean and spacious and though we did run into a few car problems along the way, Emmanuel was able to quickly make do and fix the car and then have it in the shop while we were at the lodges. He was also very knowledgeable and kind. We were able to see many different animals and took many beautiful pictures. He gave us tips for the locals and accommodated us as well. Tanzania is a beautiful country. Very natural, everything is well preserved. One of the biggest take aways I got from this trip are that 1) the people do all that they can to help preserve wildlife and protect the ecosystem and 2) the people are very kind. Unlike many countries I've been to, the people here were all very welcoming and helpful. We were never scammed or short changed. Everyone was earnest and kind. Overall, a must see one of a kind wonder. Would definitely come again and I highly recommend booking with Afrishare for a simply magical experience.Written July 26, 2018
- jessica s0 contributionsOverall great experienceI've had enough poorly organized overseas tours to know that this was an extremely seamless experience. Ibrahim was very communicative and responded quickly anytime I had questions regarding accommodation, payments, logistics, etc. Airport pickup was smooth, our guide Freddy was great and extremely knowledgeable and we were obviously extremely happy with the Safari sights. In terms of accommodation we were very happy with all except one place called Twiga Lodge. The staff were extremely friendly but the room itself was not very clean and there were so many mosquitos that we weren't able to relax. If I was to do it all again, I would keep the entire tour as is and just swap the one night at Twiga lodge to somewhere else.Written July 23, 2018

We did a 5 day Safari spending a day in Tarangeri, 3 days in Serengeti and 1 in Ngorongoro Crater.
Let's start with the positives - Incredibly knowledgeable guide in Moses. He is clearly a very knowledgeable individual who has a passion for creating a great experience for guests. I would have no hesitation in going on a safari led by Moses again, he knows the best spots to see animals and goes out of his way to find you what you want to see, constantly chatting with other drivers in person, on the radio and photo to obtain the latest news on Game whereabouts.
Unfortunately the support staff are slightly less impressive. We turned up at Tarangeri National Park on day one and were excited to get inside, unfortunately Ibrahim and not sent across the correct paperwork and we had a two hour wait outside, which wasn't a great start. Day 2 didn't start great either as we departed our lovely lodge, which we were due to return to on night 4, only to be told that they had no room on night 4 and we'd be staying elsewhere. This was despite Ibrahim confirming to us via email over a month before that all accommodation was booked and sorted... unfortunately not! It should be said that the lodge on night 4 was perfectly fine (albeit not quite as nice as night 1's), however it's not where we should have been staying. We did email Ibrahim about this on day 2 so he could try and sort it out and get us back into the original lodge, but it took him over 48 hours to respond. The other accommodation was as we expected it to be.
Overall, an incredible holiday and I would go again, especially with Moses as the guide. However the firm could do with improving things in head office/organisation centre.

Thank you very much for your prompt response and honest reviews this helps us to improve. We thank you very much for choosing to travel with Africare. As I told you the problem was with the payment system as we had paid in advance and our payment could not show on the park system so we were obliged to repay so this was a system error and again we are very sorry about that. Regarding late response I also told you I was sick and at the hospital so was not able to answer on time but was communicating with the driver all the process and made all possible communications to make sure you get inside the park on time. However, I ordered the driver to exceed time in the park to compensate for the time and he did so as a result, in general, he put extra game drive and you were able to see everything needed and more. We apologize for all the inconvenience and we will make sure to improve this situation.

We are a couple and we did a 5 days/4 nights Safari. It was a precious and unforgettable experience also thanks to our super guide Rama. We saw a lot of animals in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. They also allowed us to make a last minute switch from Lake Manyara to a cultural tour in Mto Wa Mbu and it totally worth it! All the accomodotion were nice and comfortable.

We did a 4 days, 3 nights luxury Safari norther circuit with overnights at lodges and were not disappointed. Ibrahim had it all great organised. We decided for a tour alone where we were very flexible. Our guide Yona was great. We could decide when to start, when to finish and in which parks to spend more time, which animals we want to see etc. Yona was very experienced and thanks to him we managed to seem them all. He explained us a lot, has great back ground knowledge and we can only recommend him.
Thank you very much for for unforgettable experience.
We will be back for sure.

Amazing tour group! We did a 3 day safari in Ngorongoro and Serengeti and had an amazing time. Great communication with Ibrahim, fantastic tour guide (Atif), and very smooth experience. Atif was well connected to the other tour guides and took us to the best spots, we saw a pride of lions, elephants, giraffes, all the cool animals.

Our first time safari experience with afrishare was fabulous. We were 4 and had 5 days safari tour including Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongo. It was such a great time that we couldn’t forget for the rest of our lives!
Ibrahim was communicative responded quickly to our requests. Actually that was the main reason why we chose afrishare. Plus, all accommodation reservations were secure and the administrative procedures during the trip went smoothly.
And I can’t forget to mention MOSES!! This guy was REALLY an expert. He was very supportive to make us to have the most comfortable time possible, and communicated with the other guides in every way to ensure that we didn't miss a single animal, while allocating the time efficiently. I think his long time experience in arranging the safari helped us to make all the schedule effective. His sense humor and good personality also made our trip enjoyable.
I’d like to wrap up this short post with some pics.
Thanks again to afrishare & MOSES the GOD!!! We really appreciate all of your effort during the trip. MOSES is afrishare. MOSES is Tanzania!!! 😊😊😊
