EXCELLENT Based on 56 reviews Posted on Stephen KVerified 10 days on the nrothern circuit of Tanzania Tremendous experience. Jon at Indigo was a great help, as we had several changes during the planning process. He helped arrange five locations with 2 nights at each location; Mt Meru Game Lodge, Ang'ata in Tarangire, Moyo Tented camping in Serengeti, Kirimu Migration Camp Ndutu, and finally the Farmhouse on the edge of Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area. There was one long drive (6-7 hr) from Tarangire National Park to Ndutu. Elieard was a driver-guide extraordinaire. His knowledge of the aminals and terrain allowed us to see the 'big 5', lions matings up close, and thousands of wildebeast, zebras, giraffes and gazella, followed by lions and hyneas and jackels. He also knew about 100 birds that we saw.Posted on Nida BVerified Food beach Best service..we had a good time in sky breeze and food was amazing..best vibe and nimesh was very kind highly recommendPosted on francescoVerified Kilimanjaro climb, safari, and city visit in Moshi I recently spent a fantastic summer with a Tanzanian company based in Moshi that organized my Kilimanjaro ascent, followed by a tailor-made safari and a visit to Moshi town. Wenceslaus, the owner, and the entire team were reliable, precise, and clearly passionate about what they do.Kilimanjaro ascent: Our guide Opti and their team of porters and cooks were outstanding. They led me to the summit with dedication and care, and their teamwork kept the climb smooth and safe.The summit has been reached witout problem: we are not here to try!Personal attention: Wenceslaus personally helped with transfers by car, making the logistics seamless and stress-free.Safari and city visit: After Kilimanjaro, they arranged a safari exactly as I requested and organized a meaningful visit to Moshi town.Overall service: The staff showed real commitment and spoke with clear professionalism throughout the trip, making the experience unforgettable.Would I return or recommend? Absolutely. If you’re looking for a well-coordinated, passionate team in Moshi that can handle climbs, safari arrangements, and local sightseeing with reliability and heart, this is a great choice.Posted on Sabah SVerified Our experience with Intrepid Travel on our Mount Kilimanjaro hike was truly exceptional. From start to finish, they took great care of our needs and tailored the tour to suit us perfectly. The support from the guides was instrumental in helping us reach the summit. We couldn’t have done it without them.The entire team, including the porters, cook, and guides, created an unforgettable experience. Their dedication, professionalism, and warmth made the journey not only successful but also deeply enjoyable. The food and service were outstanding, far exceeding our expectations.I can’t recommend Intrepid Travel highly enough. They made our Kilimanjaro adventure one to remember for a lifetime.Posted on Christina RVerified Bucket list I want to start with a huge thank you to Wence and his incredible team. This visit was truly special—so much so that I still can’t believe I made it to the summit. It feels like a dream come true. It definitely wasn’t easy, but the team made the entire experience comfortable, enjoyable, and full of laughter.Wence made it even more meaningful by personally accompanying me, along with Uptat (or “Ugali,” as I like to call him). The food was amazing—full of delightful surprises every day. Can you believe I even had pizza on the mountain?Thank you all so much. You’re the reason my dream became a reality. I have nothing but love and respect for each one of you. xxPosted on Traveler608700Verified Great from start to end! The 7 days Machame tour with Intrepid Explorer was a great experience and we can definitely recommend booking with Tarimo. Our guides were great and very knowledgable and the whole team was nice and helpful. Equipment and food was excellent. Would definitely go again with them and plus you are supporting a local organisation.Posted on Baecation Adventures KenyaVerified Happu Happy! Kazi Nzuri, Kazi Safi! Most friendly staff. From Porters to cooks, guides, and finally Mr Wence the organiser!All went well from when Wence met us at the Hotel Lux Palace to meet and greet.The senior guides were led by Mr Msafiri, Rama, Allan, and the Junior guide, Mr Ronald. All did a commendable job ensuring that our team's needs were equally met. Even though some of us didn't seem to obey the rules of not running towards Kibo Hut, we managed to summit on Sunday, December 15th, 2024.My team is super excited about all the coordination and support. The porters did a good job ensuring that all our luggage was handled professionally. The cooks led by Pascal all ensured that we got 5-star meals on time.Keep up the good job team.Posted on Mwikali NVerified Marangu hike with intrepid The 5 days hike via Marangu was exceptional.The guides and support team were amazing and friendly. Thank you for such a great experience.Posted on Christina RVerified Kilimanjaro my bucket list The porters, guide cooks made sure we were made to feel comfortable as possible during the challenging climb. It was an amazing experience difficult to put into words. Respect to the people that took such good care and made the journey up the mountain filled with humour. I was suppose to make this journey last year for personal reasons couldn’t. Intrepid made sure the deposit I paid last year was deducted from the trip this year. Wence lovely guy warm kind and gentle. Intrepid make sure aur needs were met at every point under the circumstances. A very biiiiig thank you to Wence and Team I loved my experience, returning next year as I will be better prepared and Mount Kilimanjaro is calling me
