Charlie Overall fantastic experience on our Kilimanjaro trek with Barafu, absolutely recommended. We did quite a lot of research as their are so many operators to choose from and were very happy with our choice - we didn't hear or see of any better service and it was very competitive on price. Pre trip • Good communication with Chance beforehand, itinerary and kit list was very detailed and helpful. • Small and locally owned company so felt authentic and personal, unlike some of the other larger, foreign owned operators. • We booked accommodation separately and stayed in a hostel to try and keep

Ivan D Barafu Tours is a local tour operator and excellent choice for travelers across Tanzania. We booked 4 days Safari (Tarangeri, Ngorongoro, Serengeti) literally one day before arriving to Tanzania, and Chance (general manager) provided options and agreed the plan very quickly. Next day we have arrived to Kilimanjaro airport, were placed in decent hotel, and off we went with our fluent English-speaking driver Viktor. The journey was amazing, we saw all the Big 5 plus lots of other animals, lodges were awesome, the only minor thing was that the car did not start at one day - but it was fixed in ju

Sven Totally recommend ! Barafu organized a Kilimandjaro Trek, on the Machame Road and a Safari in the Tarangire and Ngorongoro Parks. I really had an amazing time ! Chance, the maanger, is very flexible and proposes the best formulas for your trip. The guides (Mudi & Innocent) as well as the porters and the park ranger were super nice and helpful.

Anna Tillisch With everything going on in the world right now, I wanted to plan a getaway to clear my mind; I came across the idea to climb Kilimanjaro, and heard amazing things from fellow Peace Corps Volunteers that Barafu Tours was the best. They were absolutely right, and everything was taken care of from the moment I stepped off the plane in Tanzania to the trek itself, and the departure. Even though I was on this adventure solo during the covid era, they always made me feel like family and had solid advice for preventing altitude sickness. Side note, right now is the best time to go because you'll hav

Sara Valles We had a REALLY nice experience with barafu tours doing de Lemosho route. I was quite nervous for being my first time in such a high mountain, but they make sure you have a great time, safe and funny. They take care of you at any time you need, provide with super good food during all the week, and give you some very important advice about the mountain and how to face this adventure. We are so grateful to all the team: guides cook and porters. They were all amazing professionals and amazing people of human kind. You feel like in your own family with them. Totally reccomend!! And Kili was just a

Brenda We had an awesome time on our 5days of safari. Our guide Richard was amazing ad professional safari guide I’ve had! We saw the animals and beautiful creators as we desired. Barafu tours and safari handled our safari and everything without any hassle starting from the pickup location from the Airport to transportation,food,accommodation and customer services. Above all it was a fabulous and adventurous experience and I would highly recommend others to Barafu tours and Safaris

Annette A Last Month (late May) we had plans to visit Kilimanjaro cause we heard it is such a adventurous place. We booked our trip with Barafu Tours. Thanks to Chance the CEO for being trustworthy and such an amazing person who treated us like family. We did 8 days of hiking mountain Kilimanjaro, the team was amazing, from the Guides to the Chef who made us fantastic meals each day that we spent on the mountain. We are really grateful we made to the peak of mount Kilimanjaro, without the help of our guides Mohammed and Raphel we couldn’t make it. Our guides were the best, they were very charming and m

Ms Singh Hiking has been one of my favorite outdoor activities for years and after a long time of planning to hike mount Kilimanjaro finally the dream came true. Barafu tours managed to accomplish my dream in a phenomenal way. My ambition was to be at the top of the roof of Africa and experiencing the beauty of nature found in Tanzania. The Lemosho trekking took 7 days, my team (guide,chef & porters) who were very kind,friendly,polite and most of all had excellent knowledge of the places. The food they prepared was very nice and delicious I really enjoyed my meals. I can say the best feeling I ever e

Katherine Larimore We did the lemosho 8 day route, which got turned into a 7 day route because of the weather. Our guides were incredible, always putting us and our safety first, while having fun the whole way. Our group couldnt have been more impressed with the entire team, and how hard every single person worked to make sure we reached the summit safelg. Guides quickly recognized signs of illness in one of our team members and got her down and to medical attention very quickly and even stayed and supported which we were very grateful for. Could not be more impressed with everyone from the months of planning
