EXCELLENTBased on 436 reviewsPeter V2024-08-26Terriffic Tanzania We had the most amazing, interesting and memorable adventure in Tanzania. We had a 12-days adventure meeting tripes, local people in the villages, safari tours, waterfalls and farms. We had Francis Boniphase as our guide during the entire trip. He is very friendly and is curious to learn and give his knowledge to us. We also met the owner of the Nyange (Praise Nyange) who gave us some awesome experiences on his farm.MtEverest2024-08-24Made it with Nyange! My son and I just reached the summit on the 8 day Lemosho climb with the fabulous crew of Nyange. Special shout out to our guide Amnaay and the assistant guide Henry, without whom we would not have succeeded. On summit day, they carried our day packs, kept us at a steady pace (believe me, that is a good thing), when at several points I was ready to give up. We were one of the first ones to get there just in time to watch to most glorious sunrise. Then, they pretty much held on to us on the rapid and harrowing decent. I found Nyange hightly recommened in Stedman's book. It is a small local outfit that supports KPAP. The owner, who was once a porter, even came to say hi to us during our last day in Moshi. There are lots of operators, a couple of them had huge groups of trekkers, and I am sure they all do a fine job, but I chose to go with a local company and I am so glad I did. And, don't let anyone tell you Kilimanjaro is easy. It was very, very hard!Jacob G2024-08-195 Day Tented Lodge Safari - 10/10 Experience Heinrich arranged our trip and it was everything and more than expected. A once in a lifetime experience made better by Nyange. We celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday and they made it so special. They curated a special trip specifically for us, which made it extra special. Could not recommend more. We will be coming back to speak with them when we climb Mt Kilimanjaro! Heinrich provided 10/10 service from the day we spoke to the day we left. Our tour guide Toha was so knowledgeable and made the Safari a great experience. Would 100% recommend him and Nyange Adventures to anyone.Morgan S2024-08-04Nyange Adventures is the best! Nyange Adventures led our group up 9 to the summit and safely down. They attended to very individual's needs. The local organic food was amazing. I highly recommend Nyange Adventures.Callie2024-08-03The trip of a lifetime with Nyange Adventures I cannot recommend Nyange Adventures enough. From the first email to the final descent off the mountain, Nyange Adventures took thoughtful care in ensuring our experience was flawless and fun. Nyange Adventures provided timely and detailed responses to every one of our group’s dozens of emails. They made to sure give us a thorough briefing before we left for the climb, they did a gear check to make sure we were prepared and gave us meaningful pep talks before and during the hike when they felt the group’s nerves running on high. They were extremely responsive when unexpected issues arose and made sure each of us was comfortable and taken care of through medical emergencies, concerns with sleeping arrangements, food allergies and the like. The care the team provided let our group fully immerse ourselves in the experience and be present in every moment. Nyange Adventures was so prepared as a company and prepared us so well that I felt confident from day one we would all successfully summit in good spirits. Oh and the food was delicious, too. They always provided more than enough of the tastiest food and I ate better than I do at home. Shoutout to our crew: Antipas, Mo, Baboon, Navia and Living for an indescribable and making us feel like we have a second family in Tanzania. Our experience was everything because of Nyange Adventures and I can’t wait to be back eventually to try out their spectacular new sustainable accommodations on their farm!Emily A2024-07-29Best safari guides on the savanna! Nyange Adventures provided an excellent safari experience. I saw so many more animals than I expected! The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and seemed to truly love the game drives. While the guides worked hard to get us into the best viewing positions, our safety and comfort were also priorities.Alisa M2024-07-24Amazing time on this safari adventure We went for a 5 day safari which exceeded our expectations. We saw so many animals, made new friends and enjoyed incredible hospitality. Our guide Joshua was incredibly knowledgable, super pleasant to be with and generous with his time and information. He taught us so much about the wildlife and the country. He answered all our many questions. He is also an expert driver. Our accommodations were luxurious. I personally love the infinity pools that look over the Serengeti and the private outdoor showers. I can't recommend this tour enough.golanoh2024-06-23The beat way to experience the nature Great tour agency , Professional team It was the best experience ever had It was 9 days and 8 night Prices are fair and with thoughts and productive plan Adding some picture Select praise agency he is the bestDiana J2024-05-30Never forget Tanzania Experiencing Tanzania with Nyange Adventures should be number one on your bucket list.
