I emailed Oscar the director of Exceed Expectations Tours & Safari for Kilimanjaro climbing & Safari quotes. He responded immediately with very detailed and reasonable priced quotes.
I checked the reviews and contacted several climbers getting rave recommendations for Oscar and his company.
I went ahead and booked Machame route where I was with 6 other climbers and from our experience the reviews do not do justice to his excellence.
Our safety and health were top on their agenda. It was like being with people that you have known for a long time. Excellent food and drinks by the John kept us going.
The porters worked so hard, rushing ahead to put up tents. Oscar taught us about Kilimanjaro, history, and Tanzania, also took our great shots.
As for the 4-day safari, again not enough said about how great this experience was. We visited Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide was very knowledgeable when it came to the different game in the parks as well as finding the best spots to see animals. Heading into the national parks can be a headache for some as wait times can range from 10 minutes to an hour or so.
However, we never spent a ton of time at each gate entrance, and our guide made sure to get through in a timely matter.
As well, we wanted to get up early to see active game in the parks as this is the best time to see them, and our guide made sure of this as we headed out in the early morning hours where we had great luck in seeing all types of game.
Overall it was an excellent trek with professionals. If you're having trouble finding a good climbing company, I highly recommend Exceed Expectations Tours & Safari!
