One of the hardest most fulling adventures one could do. There's a lot of individual physical and mental aspects to reach the summit, but makes it a lot easier with Thomson Safaris providing the trip details, food/water services, and everything needed for a camping trip of this magnitude. Everything was flawless, from Hotel accommodations, transportation, food, guides, porters, tent camping and more. Thomson seemed like a Trusted name in Africa/ Kilimanjaro, but now from my own personal experience, I can say they are the group you want for the best experience in Africa or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

It was a trip of a lifetime. I have spent decades dreaming of going on a safari and I am confident that Thomson Safaris was the best company to help make my dream trip come true.

Thomson Safaris exceeded all our expectations.Thank you for all you do for your customers and the communities of Tanzania.

Life enhancing!! The entire experience of deciding if to take a safari, deciding which to take, living every moment of the safari and continuing to share the memories weeks after returning was amazing. Thomson Safaris, the US based staff (especially Lewis and Joshua) and that in Tanzania (we were blessed to have Nasibu as our guide, teacher and talented driver throughout the Safari) were knowledgeable, friendly, patient with our 1000 questions, and really understood customer service and satisfaction. First and foremost, we always felt safe and the staff in Tanzania (especially Nasibu and Joseph) and at the camps made it clear our safety was their primary concern. The Founders Safari provided 11 days of unbelievable wildlife, culture, learning, and amazement. We never felt our time was not richly used and never wished we could do more. Downtime was built in and appropriate. With the Thomson Safaris, it was the little things that made the difference. Having a single guide for the entire safari allowed us to develop a relationship and made the experience more personal. The accommodations at four camps were comfortable and our every request was answered. Every detail was considered and planned from Jambo Jambo in the morning to start the day, to amazing meals, to hot water bottles in our beds on cool evenings, to hot showers daily, to star gazing, to surprise breakfast in the bush after an early morning walk, to fairly comfortable Land Rover (the Tanzanian massage) which took us to incredible vistas and animal sightings. We unconditionally recommend a safari and Thomson Safaris as the best provider of that experience. For us now, we catch ourselves browsing through our many pictures and remembering exactly where we were and what we were feeling. The memories are life-enhancing. Asante sana.

I am writing to express our heartfelt gratitude and immense satisfaction with our recent safari in Tanzania and gorilla trekking in Rwanda that we booked through Thomson Safaris. This trip was nothing short of spectacular, and much of that credit goes to the incredible local guides and staff that made it an unforgettable experience.Firstly, I must sing the praises of Robert, our lead guide in Tanzania. Robert is an outstanding ambassador for both Thomson and Tanzania. His knowledge of the wildlife, geography, geology, and a myriad of other subjects is truly impressive. Despite undoubtedly having heard the same questions countless times, Robert was infinitely patient and always provided detailed and enthusiastic answers. His upbeat, unflappable, and professional demeanor made everyone in our group feel safe, well-organized, and exceptionally well taken care of. I cannot recommend him more highly.Harrison was equally remarkable. Like Robert, he was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, with a fantastic sense of humor that added a wonderful dimension to the trip. Both of these gentlemen are true assets to Thomson, and their long-standing tenure no doubt is a testament to their excellence.In Rwanda, we had the pleasure of spending two days with Anderson, our guide and driver. Anderson's performance was also nothing short of exceptional. Despite our inbound flight being delayed, which resulted in a long wait for him at the airport, Anderson managed to keep everything running smoothly. His professionalism and ability to adapt to our tight schedule ensured that we didn’t miss out on any part of our itinerary. He was a wonderful ambassador for Rwanda and significantly enhanced our experience.While the accommodations, agenda, food, and overall organization were all first-class, it was the dedication, expertise, and warm personalities of Robert, Harrison, Anderson and really everyone we can in contact with that truly made this trip extraordinary. At every camp, the staff was warm, attentive and amazing!I would also like to extend a special thank you to Angela for her assistance throughout the planning process. Her responsiveness to our questions and efforts to ensure my wife's birthday was recognized while on safari added a personal touch that we greatly appreciated. Her recommendations on where to buy Tanzanite also paid dividends!Thank you for providing us with such a memorable adventure. We will undoubtedly cherish these memories for a lifetime.

My wife and I recently returned from a Thompson Safari experience in the Serengeti. We loved it! My wife thoroughly studied every tour provider, exhausted every internet reference and communicated with the Company's home office before we booked our trip. And oh was it worth it! The logistics were handled so that there were no worries, literally from the moment we landed until the moment we departed, the sequence of camps and experiences were smartly planned, the food was excellent, the accommodations were so cool, the Land Rovers were beast and mostly, the team of guides (Robert and Simon) expertly executed 7-8 days with thoughtful story telling and masterful wildlife and plant knowledge and insights. We all became friends of sort over the week! Safety was always prioritized. We were most pleased with the expertise of the camp team(s) and the Company's commitment to their village and tribal communities as evidenced in the dispensary and schools they helped build. Highly recommend. Worth every dollar.

I cannot explain how my expectations were blown away. Thomson is the best way to see Africa. My trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar was full of experts, who have the knowledge that made this adventure the best in my life. I got to know and understand the culture, I got to see the cradle of life, I got to see every animal in the Serengeti, I got to sleep in the most amazing accommodations, I got to eat the most delicious meals, I got to get in contact with my spirit and my soul. I thoroughly recommend Thomson, I will be back again to Africa as part of my heart was left there. THANK YOU THOMSON!
