We had the most amazing experience with Monkey, two adults and three children travelling together. They are professional, well coordinated and very, very friendly. Everything worked efficiently. We has transfers to and from Nairobi and were helped to easy border crossings. In Arusha we were met by the manager Benson as well as our tour guide for tour briefing. Benson came at the end of the trip to de-briefing. Very professional. Monkey cares about their customers.
For the safari we had 5 days in Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro with Kimundu as a fantastic driver and guide. He was funny, skilled and knowledgeable and we had a great time. He was always ahead for spotting animals and often we had the most spectacular animal sightings to ourselves, thanks to his local knowledge and animal spotting skills. The lodges were very nice and exceeded our expectations. The top pick was Sopa Lodge overlooking Nogorongoro Crater. Waw.
The safari market is crowded with operators. With Monkey you make a safe choice and I am sure you will not regret.
I took the Rongai route to Uhuru peak (group of 4 friends), with Dixon and Amos as guides. The whole trip was very smooth, from the first booking till the last transfer to the airport. We never had to worry about anything, just enjoy the Kili mountain from all possible angles. A crew of 16 accompanied us all along - guides, cook, porters - and it is only thanks to them that we made it to the top. 100% friendly, helpful and always at our service. I highly recommend to all mountain lovers. Rongai route is very good in terms of acclimatization.
Me and my brother enjoyed a 5days Safari in Tarangire, Serengeti&Ngorogoro and a 6days hike on Kilimanjaro! Everything worked fine and Monkey Adventures organised everything perfect!! Thanks for an unforgettable Adventure in Tansania!!
Experience of a lifetime. We did the Rongai route 6 days/5 nights with Monkey Adventures and we are delighted with our choice. We were briefed at our hotel in Moshi the evening before we started our hike. We met Dennis our fantastic guide and he talked us through everything so we knew what to expect each day. They also checked our gear after that and reassured us that anything extra we needed could be rented the following morning so this really put us at ease knowing that we would be properly equipped. After a quick stop at the rental shop, we made our way to the starting point about a 3 hour drive from Moshi. The team of porters, guides and cook with Moshi were just exceptional and everything we needed was taken care of. We had 4 litres of water supplied for us each morning to last us through the day and when we reached the camp each evening, they had pitched our tents for us and they had carried our gear to the next point. Jafari cooked delicious meals for us each day, we set off on a good breakfast each morning and lunch and dinner never failed to disappoint. We were very fortunate not to have experienced anything more than mild altitude sickness so we were able to enjoy all the tasty food provided. Dennis and Nasri had a very effective plan of a second shorter hike in the afternoons after we had reached our camp, where we ascended an extra few hundred metres to acclimatise then came back down to camp to sleep at the lower altitude. I definitely believe that this is what helped us avoid altitude sickness. We had the most comfortable nights of sleep, even on the cold nights and our tents were very sturdy even through one night of high winds.
The monkey team shared an evening of song and dance with us on the third evening which was a really fabulous experience and put us into good spirits for the tough day ahead on the fourth day. They also learned some Irish traditional dance moves from us and performed them very well! The atmosphere around the camp with Monkey adventures was just lovely. Summit day was of course very tough, but the team made everything a little easier because of their high spirits, with Nasri, Dennis, Baraka and Jafari singing us up the mountain when they sensed we were flagging. Their motivation was uplifting and infectious. On the short stops, (freezing cold conditions meant that stopping for more than 5 minutes was near to impossible) we were treated to ginger tea and this warm boost would keep us going for another while. We are so grateful to the whole team for being a vital part of the reason we reached the summit. These guys are just amazing, to think that they do this on a regular basis is astounding and all the while carrying our supplies and camp gear. We never had to worry once about a thing. If you are even considering Kilimanjaro at any point, I couldn't recommend this company more highly. Massive thanks to all the team for what was an unforgettable experience. Wishing you all the best on the next venture.
This company cannot do enough for you! We had a fantastic Safari from beginning to end. Good communication from when we made the booking until the tour began. We were welcomed the morning of our safari by the guide and someone from the office. They made sure we knew exactly what what the itinerary was and to let them know if there was anything we needed or wanted they would accommodate. Our guide Reggie Jr was awesome. He was friendly and told us loads about the area of Arusha, the tribes, the geography etc. He even stopped and bought us some red bananas. We visited Lake Manyara on the first day and Norongoro Crater the next. He knew loads about the animals and gave us as much time as we needed to look/ take pics. The safari jeep was good and had a cooler for drinks. We stayed at Marera Lodge which was perfection. Great views, huge beautiful room.
Even after the safari the guys from the office popped by to make sure we enjoyed our trip and get our feedback.
Would 100% recommend Reggie. Ask for him when you book your safari.
Me and my partner did a 7 day trek on Machame route with Monkey adventure in early februari 2019. The trek was amazing! Everything went as planned and we absolutely loved our guides Godlisten and Humphrey! They were very professional and helpful. We felt safe and well taken care of and did not experience much problems with the altitude. From a Swedish perspective the trek was wery luxurious with fresh food (no dry food, we even got fresh watermelon!) and dinner served at a set table in a separate mess-tent. The food was just great and the crew was really nice. Would definitly recomend choosing Monkey adventures. The only thing you will regret is not tipping more, they really did a great job!
