Posted onVerified The 6 days of climbing memories that feel eternal. 6 days, one mountain, countless memories with Awe Safaris. That’s how I’d sum up our group adventure climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via the Rongai Route.We started in the quiet north, Reymond very careful about ensuring our safety, and the first thing we noticed was how peaceful this route is compared to the usual Marangu or Machame paths. Our guide was fantastic and friendly he always helped us and inspired us. The climb itself was a mix of challenge and laughter. Early mornings, warm meals prepared by our incredible guides, and campfires in the evenings created the perfect bonding experience. The Rongai Route gave us a climb that was both challenging and deeply rewarding, with the bonus of solitude and breathtaking landscapes that felt untouched. It was our first time and best climbing experience via Rongai route.Asante Sana, Reymond 🙏Posted onVerified Amazing experience. Highly recommended Awe Safaris. our 6-Day Big Five camping safari was a fantastic with Awe safaris. Our guide was fantastic-he made the whole experience enjoyable and educational. The Serengeti was beyond words, with endless plains full of wildlife, and we were fortunate to see all the Big Five. Ngorongoro Crater was a perfect end to the safari, with its incredible wildlife and panoramic views. This safari was an unforgettable adventure. Tanzanian wildlife and nature is best.Posted onVerified It was our perfect short trip & huge memories. Our 5 days climbing Kilimanjaro on the Machame Route was intense but incredible. We were sure Awe Safaris our right choice. Beacuse of their service and safety part very punctual team.We picked the Machame Route for a shorter adventure and it didn’t disappoint. Every day felt different, from the jungle to rocky valleys. The altitude was tough at times, but our guides kept us steady. The final push to the top was one of the hardest nights of my life, but also the most rewarding. Standing on the roof of Africa with the sun rising is something I’ll never forget.The mountain taught us patience, resilience, and the joy of pushing beyond limits. It was the most challenging experience of our life.Posted onVerified Tanzania is raw, wild, and absolutely unforgettable. My family members and me recently finished Tanzanian safari. What made our Tanzanian safari special was that it wasn’t just for the kids or the adults-it was for all of us. It was well planned and beautifully decorated by the Awe Safaris team. My parents loved the slow beauty of the landscapes, my children were thrilled every time an animal appeared, and for me, it was the joy of seeing everyone happy at once. Driving through the Serengeti, we felt connected-not just to nature but to each other. The laughter when we spotted playful monkeys or the shared silence when we watched a lion pride… those moments are priceless. A family safari here isn’t just travel, it’s a journey across generations, stitched together by wonder.Posted onVerified This expedition will be especially memorable as an exceptional chapter of our safari. Our kids was very excited about this journeys. And they learned a lot.Our balloon safari in Tanzania with Raymond at Awe Safaris & it's felt like stepping into a dream. Before sunrise, we watched the crew prepare the giant balloon, its colors glowing in the early light. As we slowly rose above the plains, the world below transformed into a living canvas-herds of antelope moving like brushstrokes, rivers glistening like silver threads, and the vast Serengeti unfolding endlessly. From above, even the mightiest elephants looked delicate against the golden grass. The cool morning air carried a sense of peace, while every turn of the wind revealed a new scene. When we finally drifted down and shared breakfast in the wilderness, it felt as though we had touched a secret side of Africa-quiet, breathtaking, and forever etched in memory. Happy safari experience.Posted onVerified These 7 days in Tanzania were the best time of our life. Our honeymoon in Tanzania 7 day we felt like stepping into a dream where nature itself became the perfect backdrop to our love story. All of them have a well-planned and wonderful arrangement by Awe Safaris & surprise us candlelit bush dinners. Specially Thanks Raymond. We visited Serengeti and its not just for its wildlife, but for its pure, untouched landscape that feels both wild and deeply romantic. Our lodges and camps wrapped us in warmth and intimacy. Sharing breakfast with views of zebras grazing we realize that Tanzania wasn’t just about wildlife, it was about creating moments we could carry for a lifetime.This safari was more than a trip-it became the perfect start to our marriage. A journey filled with wonder, peace, and the kind of beauty that lingers in your heart forever.Posted onVerified Unforgettable experience We did the 5 day safari tour and it was just incredible. Ray organized everything perfectly, all the accommodations were super nice and the people were incredibly friendly. Our safari guide Praygod told us lots of interesting things about the wildlife in Tanzania.All in all, it was an unforgettable trip that we would recommend to anyone. We definitely want to come back. Asante sana Awe-Safari-Team! 🧡Posted onVerified My 6 days was thrilled, struggle, and summit with Awe Safaris. RECOMMEND Climbing Kilimanjaro through the Rongai Route was the perfect choice - less crowded, scenic, and full of raw wilderness. The nights in camp were special. Sharing stories under the stars with my team, I felt the bond that only mountains create. My guides kept the spirit high, and their encouragement became the rhythm of each day. The journey was tough but rewarding, and reaching the summit at sunrise felt magical. Climbing Kilimanjaro via the Rongai Route wasn’t just about reaching the summit, it was about discovering patience, courage, and peace within myself. Standing above the clouds.Awe all members contribution to this experience was unique, I will be grateful to them and remember every moment.Posted onVerified Tanzania gave us our 2nd anniversary in the most unforgettable way. Marking our 2nd anniversary in Tanzania was beyond anything we could have imagined. Instead of a traditional celebration, we chose Awe Safaris and what we found was the best heartfelt peace and a unique encounter between nature and animals. The Serengeti we watching wildebeests and zebras flow across the land like a living river was humbling. Yet what made it magical wasn’t only the wildlife, it was the quiet moments we shared, holding hands while the golden sunset wrapped the sky, reminding us how vast the world is, yet how close we are in it. We also visited The Ngorongoro Carter & Lake Manyara gifted us with serenity. Ngorongoro It was like stepping into another world, where every direction revealed life at its purest-lions on the hunt, elephants tracing ancient paths, flocks of flamingos turning the water into a living canvas. The shimmering lake, the bird songs, and even the playful monkeys reminded us that love also carries joy and lightness, not just depth. Our Tanzanian safari was a celebration of love, wonder, and togetherness. For our second anniversary, nature gave us a gift no material thing ever could, memories etched deep into our hearts, forever tied to the wild soul of Africa.Posted onVerified Love, friendship, challenge, flexibility, agility, patience, we have learned everything through this. Recently we finished our 7 days climbing Kilimanjaro via lemesho route with Awe Safaris. Moshi’s crisp air greeted us as my best friend and I laced up our boots, ready to face Kilimanjaro’s towering slopes. This climb wasn’t just about conquering Africa’s tallest peak, it was about testing the strength of our friendship. Every step was a conversation, every breath a shared effort. The trail challenged us in unexpected ways thin air making every move harder, shifting weather reminding us to stay humble. Yet, between the tough moments, we found laughter, quiet reflections, and a deep sense of trust. When we finally stood on the summit, wrapped in cold winds and endless sky, it wasn’t just the mountain we’d conquered it was ourselves, and the bond that carried us all the way up.
