My wife and I just returned from an 8-day safari with Afrishare Trekking and Safaris to Tarangire, the Serengeti, the Great Migration, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Materuni Falls and coffee plantation. Wow.
While our experiences with the animals, landscape, and people were amazing, our exeprinces with Afrishare were even better.
We booked on Viator after reading the 100 reviews (almost all 5 stars) and immediately received personalized communication from the owner Ibrahim. Whenever we had a question, Ibrahim promptly responded in a very helpful manner.
The first morning of the safari our guide Freddy was there and was genuinely happy to meet us. Freddy is very knowledgeable (7 years experience), pleasant, polite, fun, and dedicated to meeting our needs to make our adventure memorable. He succeeded.
Afrishare is a smaller safari company, and we think that is what allowed for the dedicated and personalized service we received.
The vehicle was comfortable (pop-top extended Land Cruiser) in excellent condition. The roads are tough on these vehicles, but Freddy regularly checked it over and was quick to seek care if the vehicle appeared to need it (like a 10 minute clutch adjustment).
The accommodations were superb. My favorite was the Acacia Serengeti Camp. Luxe tented rooms from which you look directly into the Serengeti. Immersion with great comfort.
Go with Afrishare. Ask for Freddy. You will not be disappointed. We will next time!
6 stars.
