  My brother and I did an amazing 7 Day Safari tour in Tanzania to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro super guide Martin. He has vast knowledge of all the parks we toured, culture, politics and has a likeable personality. He made every effort to accommodate all our requests for all the big 5 and in particular lions- we saw numerous prides. There were many different birds in addition to the all the elephants, crocodiles, gnus, zebras, antelopes, cheetahs, hippos, baboons, monkeys, bats, jackals, vultures…… The choice of lodges was spot on! Comfortable, great food, chilled beers, all set in movie like locations. We really did not have to worry about anything but enjoy the tour. I was happy to observe that they have excellent measures to keep travelers safe, masks, sanitizers hand washing stations in the vehicle and lodges. It was such an amazing safari and we are very glad that we chose Safari360.

  We chose to go to Tanzania for the famous Classic Northern Tanzania Safari to see the wildebeest calving season but have experienced much more than we expected. We contacted a number of operators offering Tanzania however Petro won us over with responses. He understood well what we were looking for and his suggestions enhanced itinerary. The trip went as described in the itinerary but we could not have anticipated how exciting the actual experience would be with an expert guide –Moses sharing his informed insight for everything that we saw. He seemed to know all the other drivers that we met in the parks and this led to us to many animals from their tips. He also had his fair share of excellent spotting wildlife like a leopard that was perfectly camouflaged in a nearby tree. We also spent time with the Hadzbe Bushmen going back in time. If you are looking for a great Tanzania safari and cultural experience, this is a perfect choice.

  This is the second time me and my friend are using Pat Trekking Safaris, last year August we did Kilimanjaro with them and we have just come back from 7 days of safari to Tarangire Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. Our driver Shabani was genuinely driven to ensure that we enjoyed the full experience. He made it clear that he was there for us. In the parks his experience guided us to many interesting sites with different animals. His English was very good and it was easy to communicate and understand the explanations. We bonded and he became a close friend sharing different life and cultural experiences. Asante sana Shabani and Asante Pat Trekking

  I have been on two other safaris to Africa and I have learnt that the success of the safari depends on the skills of the guide. I used different travel companies and their services were great but they came nowhere close to those of Pat Trekking Safaris during the recent trip with 3 of my friends. It was very easy to book with them as Petro our contact person at the agency was very professional and handled everything so well. Our guide Shabani did not disappoint us. He kept the Jeep very clean, well maintained, and always had bottles of water in the small fridge fitted at the back of the Jeep. He told us that he had ten years’ experience guiding travellers. He was very talented at spotting animals. He had the eyes of a hawk that spotted very many animals. Shabani also had a sixth sense of knowing where to find the animals or what they were just about to do. He was also very knowledgeable and would give us several facts about each one of them. Shabani from Pat Trekking Safaris definitely made our safari an incredible experience.

  Pat Trekking and Safaris is an excellent tour agency in Tanzania and are one of the best companies that you could use to go on a Kilimanjaro trek. The company has great customer service and responds quickly to emails. When I contacted the company, Petro replied promptly to my email answering all my questions with a lot of patience. He took care of most details of the trek for me and advised me to choose the 7 day Machame route for my sister and I as we only had a little experience in climbing small mountains back home. We met with our guides Emmanuel and Massawe at the Altezza Hotel where we had been booked for the first and last day. They were both very friendly and easy to talk to and I could tell that they were experienced, knowledgeable, and smart from the way they handled our briefing and gear inspection. The following day they drove us to Machame gate at base of Kilimanjaro where we met the rest of the crew that included 8 porters and one chef. Senior guide Massawe was in full control and marshaled his team with military efficiency. I was impressed that he took our health seriously with daily health checks while Damas the cook kept our tummies full with his amazing cooking. I am very grateful to the Pat Trekking and Safaris team for the amazing climbing experience.

  Our Kilimanjaro climb could not have been better. I was impressed by the services of Pat Trekking and Safaris, the travel company we used on our trek. Everything from the first contact to the trip back home was incredible. I contacted Petro after visiting the company’s website. Petro was a lot of help for me. He answered all my questions about Kilimanjaro and gave me a lot of information on the various routes used. My brother and I chose the Machame route. Petro advised us to make the climb in 7 days instead of 6 so that we could acclimatize well to the climate. Upon our arrival in Tanzania we found Petro waiting for us at the airport and he transferred us to our hotel where we met Kayego the chief guide and Msangi his assistant. They were warm and welcoming and gave us a very informative briefing about what to expect on the climb. They checked our gear and told us there were few things we had forgotten and organized for us to hire them. The actual climb was a weeklong adventure with the amazing crew of our guides, porters and our cook. They were cheerful and they made the climb enjoyable. Kayego and Msangi checked on us constantly to ensure we were healthy. They directed our pace such that we would not strain physically or mentally. The summit day was amazing though it was challenging and the feeling was worth the trouble. I highly recommend Pat Trekking and Safaris to anyone thinking of climbing Kilimanjaro.

  My friend and I just returned from a 6 day safari in Tanzania. We visited Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. We used Pat Trekking and Safaris for the trip. The company’s services were awesome. Petro the director was friendly and created a wonderful itinerary for us. He took care of all the details that all we had to do was just catch a flight to Tanzania. Our guide Massawe was the excellent at his job. He made our trip the most enjoyable adventure of my life. He told us that he has been a guide for 12 years. I was impressed by his experience. I felt comfortable knowing that we were in experienced hands. With his excellent animal spotting skills he showed us very many animals including the big five, a lot of birds including ostriches, and many more animals. Pat Trekking and Safaris is a great company and I highly recommend them to anyone who is going on safari.

  I am an amateur photographer from Manitoba and decided to visit Tanzania’s iconic parks of Serengeti and Ngorongoro which have been featured on many nature documentaries to get the real experience as seen on TV. I booked with Pat Trekking and Safaris, an amazing travel company based in Tanzania following the recommendation from my brother. I sent an email to the agency and Petro the owner responded immediately with a reasonable quote and suggestions with the best times, places and accommodations suitable for me. In the end he managed to partner me with Jerry another solo traveler who was also interested in photography. This helped to bring down transport costs by more than $450 over the 9 day period. Our guide and driver Shabani was amazing. He is an expert guide and knew Ngorongoro and Serengeti very well. He managed to show us very many different animal species including birds trying as much as possible to get us the best spots where we could capture the best images. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and this information came in handy when I was choosing captions for my photographs. I was also impressed by his ability to spot animals rare animals like 2 leopards and a pack of wild dogs. I could tell that he had years of experience. I was impressed by the amazing job that Shabani did. The other aspects of safari were fantastic, we had a great comfortable vehicle with a pop-up roof, fridge and electric charging points; our accommodations were amazing and I even took some photos of buffaloes, Zebras and wildebeest that had come into our camp I had a very successful safari and Shabani contributed hugely to the success

  My family of 3 (Mom, Dad and I) went on a Kilimanjaro climb with Pat Trekking Safaris. The climb was the most amazing adventure of my life. We used the 7 day Rongai route that was not so challenging. We arrived in KIA aboard a late at night and found Petro (our contact person) waiting for us and took us to our hotel. Early the next morning we met our guides Emmanuel and Shabani, they inspected our climbing gear and we then proceeded to the Rongai gate where we met the rest of the crew. They were the best team we could ask for. They helped us and made the trek enjoyable. The team was very energetic and cheerful. I couldn’t help but pick up on that energy and excitement. The cook did an amazing job of preparing us delicious food. The tents and sleeping bags were comfortable and warm. The whole experience was incredible, wonderful, and fun. I will never forget my family’s trek on Kilimanjaro as long as I shall live. We made a lot of unforgettable memories on the mountain thanks to Pat Trekking Safaris

  Our vacation to Tanzania, Africa was one of my best experiences. My mom and I took a 7 days safari to Serengeti, Tarangire and Lake Manyara national parks. We went with Pat Trekking Safaris who made the trip incredible for us. Petro, my contact from the company, was quick to respond to my email. The prompt response made me choose to book with the company. He came up with the perfect itinerary for my mom and me. We loved every minute of the trip. Lameck, our guide, picked us up from the airport. He was friendly and gave us a warm welcome to Tanzania. He drove very carefully, all while talking to us about the culture, wildlife, and the people of Tanzania. He was excellent at tracking animals. We saw leopards on trees, lionesses hunting, and even a python snake. The experience was wonderful. We stayed at great accommodations that were comfortable with delicious meals thanks to Petro’s suggestion. Thanks to the Pat Trekking Safaris team for the best vacation of my life.
