Everything was absolutely fantastic, we had the best safari experience and loved the market in Morogoro. Everything with Kurumbizi was perfect from start to end, from staring planning the tour to end of the tour. Evance has been so kind and helpful and easy to trust. Asante sana for a unforgettable trip.Written December 24, 2024
- Hawa F0 contributionsOne of the easiest waterfalls in morogoro town⛰️Choma Waterfalls is a must-visit for anyone who loves nature and adventure!😍 The location is easily accessible by bike or through a scenic hike, making it a great option for outdoor enthusiasts. We went with bike, but I don’t recommend going when it’s rainy season as the roads are slippery. The stunning views along the way only heighten the excitement❤️🔥 The water was refreshing and cold, perfect for a dip on a warm day.😍😍😍 The views up there is so beautiful!!🔥 Entree fee at the waterfall is 2,000 tsh eachWritten December 9, 2024

- 821guusv0 contributionsTwo days Uluguru hike, one night at Morning Side HotelWe had a great time with Evance! He is a really reliable, friendly guide that is usually booked by the Dutch medical students of Mikumi, including me. He is also very handy if you want to get a better grip on your Swahili haha. In the morning we got our itinerary and according to your wishes he tries his best to show you around accordingly. Our trip consisted of two days and one night at the morning side. There is a chance to swim in the waterfall, so bring your swimsuit! Oh yes, and the food was amazing! On the second day you climb all the way to the top with a very special animal that can only be found there. All in all, I think Evance would be really recommendable for anyone who wants to have a fun time and see beautiful landscapes in the meantime.Written June 20, 2024

- GoPlaces672593831480 contributionsAmazing 2days1night Uluguru hikeWe did a 2 days 1 night trip to Uluguru mountains with Evan as a group of 3 and we absolutely loved it! The hike: The first day we hiked from our hotel in Morogoro to Choma waterfalls. Afterwards we had the most amazing lunch with a local family just 5 minutes from the waterfall. It was delicious and we had a great time with them learning how to play a Tanzanian board game. After the extended lunch break we hiked to morning side camp where we could leave our luggage before we continued to the „sunset spot“. The view was stunning. Afterwards we had a great dinner at morning side and slept there in the provided tents (maybe bring your own sleeping bag, only older blankets available). The next day we hiked to Bondwa peak, had lunch at morning side on our way down before we continued and ended our trip back at our hotel. It‘s not the easiest hike (hot weather, high humidity, sometimes steep), but so worth it! The Uluguru mountains are beautiful!! But be prepared to definitely feel your legs the next day ;-) To Evan: Evan is the most lovely and helpfull tour guide. We had an amazing time with him and would recommend him to anyone. He knows so much about the Morogoro region, the mountains and is always happy to answer every curious question you might have about Tanzania in general. Evan - thank you so much for this trip we‘ll remember you dearly!Written May 15, 2024
