Let me start by saying that I would not have made it to the top with out one of my guides FC Lucas. Did I ever at any point want to give up? Absolutely not, but his encouragement is one of the sole reasons I finished the hike. That being said the entire experience was a memorable one.
From my initial email inquiry to the bus ride back to my hotel..I cannot tell you how amazed I was at the whole experience. I did SOOO much research before settling on Seko safaris to complete my hike. Let me save you some time, stress and annoyance...choose them. They were competitively priced, the staff (porters, guides, chef, servers, drivers) were exceptional and so very kind. None of this would have been possible without them. I decided to embark on a solo journey to the top for my 30th birthday. The chef, Haji, even surprised me with a cake on my birthday! Although I booked a solo trip I didn't want to hike the mountain alone. Seko safaris paired me with another group of 3 and it was an awesome experience for all of us. Our server Allen was honestly the kindest, most cheerful and amazing soul. I literally don't even have words. He greeted me every morning with a hot cup of coffee and a bright smile. I waited too long to write this review so I have forgotten the names of the amazing porters who worked tirelessly, without a complaint, carrying our things, setting up our living space and making sure we were comfortable with everything we needed. I cannot thank them enough.

A few things to know up front: The tents are relatively small for two people but it is set up as two to a tent. If you're uncomfortable with that be sure to ask upfront for your own tent. The portable toilets are a must, it cost extra but I think it is money well spent. Bring $400-$500 worth of cash in small bills for tips. At the end of your hike there will be a tipping ceremony for the staff (much deserved). "Pole Pole" and lots of hydration is the only way you will make it to the top. Listen to your guides and keep a positive attitude. I highly recommend Seko! You will not regret choosing them for this once in a lifetime experience. Good luck and Godspeed. - Angel

We were happy. It was a 6-days trip in Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti.
We've seen lions, buffalos, elephants, rhinos, leopards, giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles and lots of other animals.
We were surprised by so good organization of this trip. We didn't waste our time. There were safaris during all the days with the lunch breaks. We can remember only one bad moment: there was no hot water in one camp where we spent two nights.
Our guide Isa showed good knowledge about the animals and very good competition in spotting animals. His stories were interesting.

The Safari experience with Seko safaris was absolutely incredible. We literally couldn't come up with anything that could be improved, it was excellent!
Seko safaris was very supportive and responsive to our questions, organized a very impressive service for us. The guide that we had was well informed about anything we asked and cared a lot about our experience. We also had everything we wanted on board - delicious food, wine, beer and so on.
The safari tour itself was planned and executed very well. We liked the itinerary very much and how we had enough time to see the animals we wanted. They went far and beyond with this trip, we are honestly very impressed.
That being said, we highly recommend this tour to everyone who wants to experience Safari in Tanzania.
Thank you Seko safaris!

For most of us, the adventure of a wild safari in Africa is something we can only expect to experience once in a lifetime. With so much expectation and desire riding on such a trip, it's little wonder that choosing a tour company can frustratingly difficult. Seko safaris lived up to all our expectations and then some, facilitating an experience neither I or my friends will ever forget.

The outstanding organisation, communication, local knowledge, and general amiability of everyone involved all contributed towards our adventure in Tanzania's national parks. We visited the Serengeti, Ngoro Ngoro, Lake Manyara, and Tarangire. We saw lions, hippos, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, rhinos (at a distance!), giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, baboons, and a plethora of other species that I either can't remember, or don't know the name of! Aside from the national parks and animals, we enjoyed countless authentic cultural experiences at the various towns and villages along the way.

Our five day/four night safari included two nights in a hotel and two nights camping. The hotel was very comfortable and had all the necessary amenities. When camping, everything was taken care of, so all we had to do was enjoy a couple of drinks while discussing the sights of the day and enjoy the night sky full of stars. The chef/cook that traveled with us put together an impressive feast for us each night; the source of envy for tours staying at the same campsites. Our guide, Melisa and our chef, Dula, were at the same time both professional and incredibly fun. In most national parks, we'd regularly hear the crackle of the CB radio, with others asking Melisa where the animals were!

It goes without saying that I would recommend this safari, and have already done so with many of my friends and colleagues. I'm not exactly sure how Seko Safaris compares in terms of price at the time that you're reading this, but I will say that, for such a once in a lifetime experience, it's worth choosing a tour company that obviously has a passion for what they do, such as Seko safaris.

Communications service by Whatsapp Victor was really easy and perfect. He planned the Safari with our flights from Moscow to Kili. I was not expected a safari like that. The team was perfect! Pray the guide was so good to find animals, we saw the big fives (even the rhino) and the cheetah (with babies). We were the first 4×4 entering the crater or Ngorongoro and we had the breakfast in front of the hippo pool. And the cooker Soulé was amazing, he was cooking fresh and Tanzanian food for each meal! We were missing nothing, there were enough for everybody all the time. Beers and red wine is included every night.
And our group was really fun, we enjoyed our time with another Portuguese couple! I really advise everybody to make the Safari with Seko safaris!!!

I would definitely recommend Seko safaris. We climbed Mt Kilimanjaro using the 8 day Lemosho Route. We found the guides and porters fantastic and the meals were very good. The guides would always make sure we were eating enough and to always go pole pole so we would acclimatise well to reach the top of Africa, and we did it YEH!!! Thanks Seko safaris.
They would always reply to our emails, and there were many of them. When it came to payment we had a few concerns but in the end everything was good.

Victor the owner made himself very available for planning and was available constantly in contact with, throughout via WhatsApp and Email the days before our trip for any last minute planning. He gave very speedy replies and was very efficient even though we made multiple changes throughout the planning of the trip. He's as eager and willing to arrange your trip as he seems!

We were very happy to meet Victor and the team who picked us from the Airport to a hotel in Moshi. Where we were introduced to our guide. Add the next morning Seko Safaris team came ready for briefing and a little bit excirces before leaving for Machame gate.

Supplied us with everything we needed to succeed on our summiting Mount Kilimanjaro Uhuru peak. Our expectations were regularly exceeded with all aspects of our trip! The food was fantastic, the tents and sleeping bags kept us warm and the charming personalities of the whole team who took much enjoyment in helping us because they clearly love their jobs!

As an aside, we followed the tipping recommendations I read about from their online portal and tipped the team generously.

The only other thing I'd suggest is that if it's within your means, to have the people in your trekking group consider gathering extra hiking clothing (boots, hats, head lamps, etc.) to provide as gifts or donations to the porters. No matter which company you choose, the porters are all under-dressed because they cannot afford proper hiking clothes or shoes. The clothes they do have often come as used donations. If your trekking group can collect hiking clothes from friends before traveling it would make a very nice gift to give upon your departure.

Thank you Victor and safaris team for making this a truly unforgettable experience! The excellent experience with the service provided by the company. I would highly recommend their service!

I can give Victor and Seko Safaris team my highest recommendation. FANTASTIC!

Lee and Denxi.

We did it !!! We climbed during 6 days. We saw beautiful landscapes, and it was very challenging to get my own body to the summit of Africa. I am not a sportive woman and this was my first experience of trekking. But we couldn't do without the Seko safaris team !! There is no word to describe them, no money to give back what they offered to us. They encouraged us every day, carried our 20 kilos bags whereas my own body seemed so heavy at this altitude. They made everything to make us comfortable: after our daily hike, we arrived at our camp for the night, and we were like princes and princesses : all our luggages were already in the tent , the tasty and consistent food was ready ( thank you to chef Richard aka Kili Mama !! ) I couldn't imagine to have this kind of comfort at this altitude (and it was also my first experience of camping!!)
Our guides Rahema, Paul, Johnathan were very careful and gave us self confidence. They even checked every day our blood oxygen saturation!!
Our porters were always lauthing, smiling, dancing , they participate to make this experience unique. I will always remember Haroun , who literally carried me to go down after the summit!!!. Joshua, our waiter and singer , Richard, Daoudi, and the others. They were all very kind to us and made that this experience was not only a mountain hike, but also human unforgettable experience.

I will recommend Seko safaris to all my friends and family!! And go go go to the summit if it is YOUR dream : you will never regret that.

We went for a 4 day group safari with Seko safaris at the beginning in February 2021. We chose to explore the 3 most famous parks: Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Seko Safaris offer best price and value for money. Our guide Jacob and cook Richard were both friendly, funny, professional and made us feel like one big family. We were first to the leave the campsite and last to come back.
Special thanks to our driver Jacob, who went extra mile to get us very close to every animal and worked very hard to ensure we get to see everything we wanted. He made us discovering the farthest part of parks, meeting wildest animal and thanks to his knowledge and experience we saw the Big Five plus many more animals. Jacob was patient and answered every question we had about animals and landscape. He made us feel safe and comfortable throughout and was the key to us having such a great and life changing experience.
Big thanks for our cook Richard who cooked delicious food for us and surprise us with bottle of wine each evening. Food was varied and fresh. There was always plenty of food and drinks. We were never hungry or thirsty. Seko safaris will work with any dietary requirements you have.
The jeep vehicle had chargers for phone and batteries. Car was very comfortable, spacious and well maintained. The tents, mattresses and sleeping bags were clean. All the equipment were perfect.

We also want to thank you Victor and Emmanueli for their professionalism and perfect organisation. It started with fast and clear communication regarding the trip and what it entailed. Victor always responded in a matter of hours and answered all our questions. They arrange all transfer for us, booked 2 nights in very nice hotel - Venice Arusha and also booked for us bus tickets (all included in safari price). Driver were waiting for us when we arrive in Arusha airport and most importantly in early morning to take us to bus station the day after safari. They went above and beyond to make our trip enjoyable and stress free.
Thanks for wonderful experience Seko safaris! We definitely recommend going with this company. Don't hesitate to book. Asante sana! Aga and Kasia
