Guide (Alex) & Safaris were excellent, our vehicle was not so great, but did the job.
Our guide, Alex, was punctual, well mannered and good company over the 6 days we spent together.
Alex always did his best to ensure we saw as much wildlife as possible, he was also very alert to an angry bull elephant that charged as he reversed our vehicle to safe point very quickly.
Accommodation, food and drinks were all very good...but be prepared for bars closing early.

Value for money
Amos and his team are a flexible and correct. Their strong point is that they have an own hotel in Moshi “The Better in”. From there, they coordinate all their expeditions or guides tours. The price they ask is one of the lowest I could find and for the service you get, I don’t think you can find better. You get everything you need based on your condition and the group. They adapt easily to their clients. Knowledge of English is sufficient and I had personally a great time doing the Lemosho 6 days route.
Kili one day hike
Caesar our guide was on time and experienced at getting up the mountain for our day hike to the mandara huts. It is about 6 hours of hiking, and was pretty difficult for us (regular 10k runners). This is mostly because of the altitude, we live at sea level.

four day Masai Mara Safari
Our guide Erastus was able to get us in front of pretty all animals we wanted to see; lot’s of communication going on all the time on the radio between the guides.
The road trip (specifically Masai Mara to Nairobi is NOT recommendable - super lousy roads so it takes ages and has no value - take a plane)

We had the best time on our safari, our guide josez was really friendly and we saw so many animals
We did the 6 day safari and saw so many animals, up close as well. Tour guide josez was really friendly and helped us spot lots of animals, especially the ones we particularly wanted to see. He was always punctual and accommodating. Food and lodges were really nice, Josez always provided water. Nice vehicle too. Our guide sorted out all our documents in between parks really quickly, so overall a really smooth and enjoyable safari
Great experience but unexpected extra-costs
The time spent on the mountain was absolutely amazing — breathtaking views, a fantastic crew and guides, and delicious, plentiful food throughout the hike. However, my suggestion would be to provide clearer information about the tipping process and expected amounts before the journey begins. That would help guests plan better and avoid any confusion and stressful situations.

The coffee tour and hike to the waterfall was a highlight of our family reunion.
There were 20 of us, ages 1-60. Our competent, safe driver picked us up in Moshi mid-morning. Our drive took us right up to the base of Kilimanjaro and to the village home of a family who grows coffee. We entered their tidy compound and were warmly greeted by our host and guide, Oscar. Oscar gave a good presentation on single source coffee. He demonstrated every step of the process of taking the bean from tree to cup. Everyone got a chance to try the husking machine (handmade by Oscars grandfather, I believe), to grind the beans by hand with a 'pilao', (huge mortar and pestle used for pounding grains into flour). Water boiled over the fire, the grounds were sprinkled liberally into the pot, and then the brew was poured through a strainer into our cups. A perfect cup! This was a most delightful event. Most of us ordered coffee which Oscar roasted and delivered to us the following day.
After our bag lunch, Oscar took us on the hike to the waterfall. Our path was well beaten, narrow and often had us teetering on the edge of the ridge. The views of the valley below, the village homes and the gardens took our breath away. Our guide peppered our walk with interesting facts about the culture and the flora and fauna around us. His love for his home sparked enthusiasm in all of us. We all made it to the waterfall after walking an easy 1+ hours (it took us longer than it might normally as we had small children making the trek). We spent some time playing in the water before it was time to hike back. This tour was so refreshing, fun for all ages. Our guide was excellent and communicated well in English. The logistics of this tour ran smoothly, thanks to Amos who accompanied us the whole day.

Great tour, brilliant guides, overall tour planning could use polishing
Overall we really enjoyed our tour which was a 3 day safari followed by a 7 day Kilimanjaro climb. The food was great, the Kili guides were brilliant and the porters all first class.
What could use improvement is the overall organisation of the trip for the following reasons:
1. Despite having picked the Safari for the accommodation which we carefully selected for our honeymoon, we were taken to a completely different place on one night and when we questioned this we were told the other one was probably full. Nobody ever attempted to advise us ahead of time and this should have been booked when the deposit was taken earlier. It was a similar but I believe slightly lower standard.
We never went to the final national park that was stated on the Safari itinerary. We weren’t bothered by the change but it was never advised why this happened, and if you had booked the tour specifically for each of the different national parks I can imagine being quite annoyed.
We were put on a 7 day Kili climb with another couple despite having booked the 8 day climb. The difference between the two tours was $200pp ($400 total) which was never offered as a refund (and would have been gratefully received). We ended up having to spend quite a bit of money reconfiguring our flights and accommodation to the new schedule so this was less than ideal. One of us didn’t make it up to the summit due to altitude sickness symptoms which may not have been the case had we remained on the 8 day.
Essentially we just felt that we should get what we booked/paid for and if any changes are necessary that they be communicated to us ahead of time and compensation offered where the offering is changed.
