A great small company managed by a great man!

A couple of years ago I was looking for a company to undertake both the Kilimanjaro 

ascent followed by a safari.

When we were put in contact for the first time with Dennis, by mail, a sense of confort 

emerged immediately: Dennis proved from the outset to be a very reliable contact person, 

hearing what you had to say/ ask, understanding your comment/ question and replying 

very rapidly, to the point and constructively and always very patiently, despite my 

numerous questions!

The preparation of the journey was absolutely seamless: Dennis gave the impression of 

mastering perfectly the situation for both events and both his proposals for the programs 

and their adaptations to take our needs and requests into account was simply … easy ! 

The price of the trip is definitely competitive.

Upon arrival in Tanzania, this impression was reinforced as I had the opportunity to 

meet and talk to Dennis: he is calm, pleasant and smiling, reassuring, open minded, 

knowledgeable and extremely pragmatic. His motto “akuna matata” reflects his approach 

to life. No problems, only solutions!

The trek to Kilimanjaro was impeccably organized: not one single -even minute- detail 

depending on him went wrong. The team he made available was great, the logistics were 

all perfect and the route he choose for the trek, with the explanation for his choice, are all 

proofs of his knowledge of the business and of clients and his keen interest to make sure 

that the client is well treated and happy … and I was !

After a successful climb of the Kili the family joined in for the safari. Here again, Dennis 

had managed to make sure that our requests - not excessive but still, like all families, we 

had some - were duly taken into account. The thorough preparation on his side before 

the trip proved essential and -here again- we felt we were taken care of by a very safe 

pair of hands. We were lucky to have Dennis with us in the course of the safari and all 

along we could notice his care for details, his huge knowledge of both flora and fauna, is 

willingness to share with us … well, we really felt extremely spoiled from the beginning 

till the end.

On top of his huge knowledge of wildlife and botanics, Dennis can share with you the 

fascinating side of people of Tanzania! He took us to a masai village, to a school, to local 

markets … well to all those places that you need to visit; in this respect the trip proved to 

be much more than a Kili-safari touch and go!

Thank you Dennis for allowing us to discover your great country, its people, and its 

outstanding natural beauties: its flora and its fauna.
