fantastic 7 days safaris in Tanzania I did a 7-day safari with some friends with Wetu Africa Adventure, and it has been a great experience! We directly contacted them by email to customize our tour, and they have been very supportive: they give us lifts from and to the airports of Nairobi and Kilimanjaro and offer different options of tours and dates. Before the departure, we received all the information necessary to prepare our visa and luggage for the tour.The guide, Emmanuel, was prepared to recognize and explain the behavior of so many animals that we have seen and has been a very careful driver. Our chef Karim has been excellent; we really licked all the meals he prepared for us, including the typical Tanzanian Ugali.I definitely recommend them.

7 days epic safari with Wetu Africa Adventures Wetu Africa Adventures provided an amazing 7-day Mid-Range Epic Adventure safari (3 nights Serengeti), including the Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro crater. The safari was perfectly planned, with Rose and Jovitha helping customize the experience according to our needs and preferences. Our guide, Good Luck, was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and professional, spotting animals and providing valuable insights about Tanzania. He adjusted routes and plans according to our expectations, stopping for pictures or pee breaks. He also drove safely, despite the numerous breakdowns on the road. He was knowledgeable about cars and could fix them on his own.All accommodations we stayed at were excellent, including Arusha Planet Lodge, Motto Cottages, Nyota Luxury Camp, Eileen's Trees Inn, and Airport Planet Lodge. Nyota Luxury Camp was particularly enjoyable, as it offered amazing food and service and included mineral water in dinner. Each day was better than the previous one, exceeding our expectations. We had the opportunity to see unforgettable wildlife scenes and take breathtaking pictures, thanks to Wetu Africa Adventures and Good Luck. We highly recommend them for their exceptional service and unforgettable wildlife experiences.

family friends Tanzania adventure Highly recommend Wetu Africa Adventures. We booked a private tour for 6 people. The communication from Lion King Adventures in the lead-up to the tour was excellent. They provided very clear communications throughout the process of planning, booking, and preparing for the trip. Once the tour started, everything went seamlessly, and our guide (Emma) was very friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would recommend WeTu Africa Adventures.

high recommended Wetu Africa adventure for climb Kilimanjaro The Wetu Africa Adventures team, led by our head guide Manny, was truly exceptional. Chef Magambo, in particular, was outstanding, preparing soups and dishes that were nothing short of amazing. What sets this crew and Manny apart is their deep knowledge of the mountain and their commitment to their roles. They take their responsibilities seriously and are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. If you follow their guidance, success is within reach. It's customary to tip the team generously, as it's a significant part of their livelihood. With 21 porters and 3 guides for just 6 of us, their efforts were both numerous and vital. This will be a climb of a lifetime, and you’ll be well-supported every step of the way!

8 days lemosho route with fantastic wetu africa adventure team. I had an amazing experience climbing with Wetu Africa Adventure in July on the Lemosho Route. Ally, Hadson, and their crew took exceptional care of us throughout the trek. Our cook, Yassin, prepared delicious three-course meals every day, and Mr. Smiley, our waiter, always greeted us with a warm smile and a hot drink to start our day. Suleiman, our day porter, handled our heavy packs with patience and never complained. The package also included our own private toilet and bathroom, which was definitely worth it. The entire team worked tirelessly to ensure our trek was not only comfortable but also memorable. They went above and beyond to help us reach the summit successfully. A fantastic group of people—highly recommended!

I visited Tanzania between 10 July 2024 and 22 July 2024 Emma did an outstanding job organising the trip—it was flawless in every way. The itinerary, with its three distinct locations, allowed us to fully experience the unique features of Ngorongoro, Central Serengeti, and Northern Serengeti. The combination of lodges and tented camps provided a diverse range of experiences, and we especially loved our stays at Craters Edge and the Nomad Serengeti Camp. The Nomad camp, in particular, offered an unforgettable and truly unique experience. Everything was perfect with wetu africa adventuires

Honeymoon safaris with Wetu African Adventures "My husband and I were eager to book a safari trip, and after extensive research, we chose Wetu Africa Adventure. From the outset, working with the Wetu Africa team was a fantastic experience. They took the time to understand our needs and crafted a private safari that fit our budget perfectly. Their responsiveness to our questions and their willingness to accommodate last-minute changes were truly impressive. The entire booking process was seamless.As for the safari itself, we couldn't have asked for a better guide than Emmanuel. He was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and respectful toward the wildlife. Despite the long drives, Emmanuel made sure we had amazing game drives every day. He was upfront with us from the start about the unpredictable nature of wildlife sightings, which only added to the excitement when we did spot animals. From the moment he picked us up to the day he dropped us off, Emmanuel ensured our comfort and made our experience unforgettable. We genuinely didn't want the safari to end!The lodging recommendations from Wetu Africa Adventure were spot on. We thoroughly enjoyed our stays at each lodge, and the service and hospitality of the staff were exceptional.We can't wait to return and would highly recommend Wetu Africa Adventure to anyone planning a safari. They truly made our experience magical, and we're taking home a lifetime of memories."
