EXCELLENT Based on 196 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Chantal WVerified Biking the sugarcane fields Lovely bike ride through the sugarcane fields with fantastic guides. Great lunch at the TCP plantation and some stops in the colorful town of Moshi. We enjoyed every minute of our excursion.Posted on Tripadvisor Virginia PVerified Amazing experience The tour combined Safari and visit to a Maasai tribe, a coffee plantation and the waterfalls. We added the balloon and it was so worth it! Our guides Joseph Gamma and Derick Richard did an AMAZING job at making our experience unforgettable. Thanks to them we were able to spot animals from super close, learned all the fun facts about them and understand Tanzania from the perspective of the locals, always feeling safe and well taken care of. Thanks to them , I want to return to Africa!Posted on Tripadvisor marcelalopheVerified Amazing Safari in Tanzania! Our safari in Tanzania with Ashante Tours was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness that we immediately felt at home. The guides Joseph Gamma and Derick Richard were exceptional, knowledgeable, passionate, and always eager to share insights about the wildlife and surroundings, which made every moment even more meaningful. We were incredibly fortunate to see all the animals we had hoped for and even more, turning every day into a new adventure. The entire experience was seamless, exciting, and deeply enriching. We are so grateful for the care, professionalism, and genuine hospitality we received. It was, without a doubt, an amazing experience that we will cherish forever. Recomended a 100 % . Thank you ASHANTE TOURS !Posted on Tripadvisor Mark BVerified Ahsante Tours Kilimanjaro Climb My son and I have just completed the Lemosho 8 Day climb of Kilimanjaro with Ahsante Tours. We had an amazing adventure, led by our superb guides Lawrence and Amos. So helpful and encouraging, with Lawrence also proving to be an excellent language, geography and history teacher! Despite catching the start of the rainy season, we only had to get our wet weather gear out on 3 of the 8 days. The whole crew were friendly, and definitely contributed to our effort. The porters do a super human effort. We arranged for the portable toilet - essential in our view as your guts are not normal on the climb, and the long drop toilets at the campsites are a no go zone. Summit success after 6 hours of climbing at a pole pole, slowly slowly, pace. No one told us about the agony of getting back down the mountain. Legs and toes extremely sore! We thoroughly recommend Ahsante Tours as a mid budget, local tour company. Our guides had been with the company for 15 and 10 years, which says a lot. Holyfield did an awesome job as the tour organiser, right from the start when we had to postpone our climb for 12 months. Asante sana Ahsante Tours! Tutaonana Baadaye!Posted on Tripadvisor m2threeVerified *Highly Recommend* Everyone of the team are amazing and play their part in making a memorable trip. Easy to recommend when things go well, sadly bad health meant it didnโt go to plan for me - this is when I saw the very best of the team. Caring, helpful and organised, everything I needed a more.Posted on Tripadvisor shelley KVerified A fantastic bespoke safari tour I can highly recommend Ashante Tours. Holyfield arranged a bespoke safari tour for us which surpassed our expectations. The variety of parks and animals we saw was breathtaking. Lovely lodges and an excellent guide to accompany us made the whole experience smooth and relaxing. Thank you Ashante ToursPosted on Tripadvisor M MVerified Big recommendation! Had an amazing experience with Ahsante Tours to Kilimanjaro! The trip was Well planned, we had good guidance before and during the trip. Our guides and crew were amazing, and made sure that we had an unforgettable experience. We were lucky enough to have good weather, and when my husband and I suggested that we might head for the top in daytime, our guides were flexible and we changed the plan, and ended up making the summit as the only ones there. A big thanks to Ahsante tours, super professional overall and also a local based company. I would 10/10 recommend.Posted on Tripadvisor Victoria SVerified *****AWESOME***** – Kilimanjaro climb with safari add-on I had the best holiday hiking up Kilimanjaro with Ahsante (booked through Explore) this Christmas, followed by a three day safari to relax at the end. It was an incredible trip; the mountain was tough but truly awe inspiring. The brilliant Ahsante crew made it so enjoyable and helped our group of eight (aged 17 to 58) reach the summit together. Thank you so much โ I wasnโt sure my not so fit 53 year old legs would make it! We walked the Lemosho route, which was well paced to ensure good acclimatisation for the summit. I really needed this, as there were times when I felt the headaches, and I did take altitude pills for summit day. The route takes you through different climate zones, so your whole world can change in a day. With altitude, the mountain becomes increasingly bare, losing the lush green of the lower slopes and revealing what was once molten rock deep inside the planet โ and thatโs before you even reach the glaciers! The crew were AMAZING and managed the serious task of getting us up the mountain safely, all with smiles and humour. The guides โ Brian, Patrick, and Rasta โ were so professional and lovely, keeping a steady pace and watchful attention so you were helped and guided before you could put a foot wrong. Emmanuelโs camp logistics were impressive, and he always greeted us with the warmest, most generous welcome. Juventus ensured we were served a feast every meal, complete with a flourish and an impressive costume. The wider crew were so friendly and kind; Iโm still amazed at how they packed up and moved the whole camp to have it ready for our arrival, no matter how long or short the dayโs walk was. These wonderful people were led by Julius โ โWhiteyโ โ White who was unflappable, knowledgeable, and mischievous. He ensured everything went smoothly, we were always prepared & confident for the next day and smiling. Thank you for the laughs and chats, your energy and patience, the Swahili lessons and stretching sessions, catching me more than once from slipping over, the singing and dancing, the help with bags and boots after a long day, and all the hard work that made this such a joyful experience. Massive respect to everyone who was with us. And that wasnโt all. After farewells and a quick turnaround of bags, Godwin picked us up and took us to three parks for safari. He always knew where to go and when, so we could see elephants, lions, hippos, rhinos, and so much more across stunning landscapes. His driving was excellent โ even while fielding constant โWhatโs that?โ questions whenever we entered a park. I might have to come back to climb one of the other routes!Posted on Tripadvisor Gavin SVerified 10 (days) of the best. We completed the Lemosho Kilimanjaro climb with the 3 day safari bolt on option. The tour was really well organised and the guides were professional, friendly and experts making us feel safe and valued throughout. Kilimanjaro - Julius the chief guide is a leader in his field so we felt lucky to have him in charge but all the other guides were exceptional support. Big shout out to Bryan on his first trip as a guide bringing contagious enthusiasm to help us through any tough moments plus his legendary morning stretches to get us limbered up daily. Emmanuelle the camp manager also deserves a mention as the camp was always ready and immaculate regardless of conditions. Everyone from porters to waiters were exceptional in their work and operated as a machine but a friendly welcoming one! The route was perfect as it allowed all 8 of our group to summit! The physical challenge is suitable for most with a basic fitness level but the real challenge is the mental one particularly on summit night, which I can only describe as a war of attrition. Safari- Excellent tonic post climb. Godwin our guide was top draw really friendly and super knowledgeable regards the Parks and animals. Managed to see 4 of the big 5 with his help! Just missed out on the leopard which seems fairly usual. For value for money this trip is hard to match but remember to bring plenty of dollars for tipping and-read the guidelines for guidance on values. All in all highly recommended Ahsante and this one of the best trips Iโve ever had!Posted on Tripadvisor Benoit BVerified Incroyable et inoubliable De lโascension du Kilimandjaro ร lโimmersion dans une ferme prรจs du lac jipe Cโรฉtait une expรฉrience humaine incroyable Merci ร mes 2 guides Josรฉ et Mika de lโagence Ashante tours
