EXCELLENT Based on 22 reviews Posted on Veronica JVerified Best Safari Experience!!! Selecting AfroLioness was the best choice. They created a personalized schedule and offered professionalism, accommodations, food and picturesque moments. From the pick up, meet and greet to drop off we were treated with great care and the lessons about our daily drives taught us a wealth of knowledge. I can’t wait to book my next trip. Thank you ladies.Posted on Hannah KVerified Best hiking crew We had the best experience hiking Mount Kilimanjaro with Afro Lioness. We choose the 7 day Lemesho Route and had 5 of us with a support crew of 18 people. Having 3 female guides was the best. We danced, sang and compared stories which made the 73km much more enjoyable. The chief cooked us the best meals and carb loaded us to make the long walking days. The waitress was more like our mother figure and made sure we had water at all times. She even dried our clothes after we got caught in a snow storm on summit day! Overall we are so happy we went with Afro Lioness. Women supporting Women!Posted on Kat AVerified Amazing - 100% recommend!! We had an absolutely fantastic time, entirely because of Agatha (owner of this business and luckily our guide for the safari). To say that she went above and beyond would be a massive understatement - she was a wealth of knowledge and support, from the moment we made contact to arrange this trip, helping to plan out our idealsafari, arranging before and after-safari tours, fixing up our mistake when we left luggage behind and arranging three (yes three!) separate birthday cakes for me (I’ve likely forgotten something since this is a belated review - sorry!). She (and her team) made this trip more than just a safari and we can’t thank her (and them) enough…Note: Our trip was:- pre-safari: Chemka Hot Springs- safari: Tarangire Park, Lake Manyara, Serengeti (x2 days), Ngorongoro and had a local tribe experience- post-safari: Zanzibar (with local tours and support). Thank you so much Agatha - would definitely safari with you again!!Posted on Emma DVerified Beautiful safari with beautiful guide It was the most amazing time with Agatha. We were only on the safari for 3 days, but I made memories for a lifetime. I met Agatha at my first evening in Arusha and she offered me the tour, which was the best that could have happened to me in Tansania. After the Kilimanjaro the safari was super relaxing still very exciting. It was my 5th or 6th safari in Africa already and the best. I did the tour alone with Agatha and she became real quick much more than just a guide to me. It was like traveling with your best friend and still she took her job very seriously and always knew where to go and could answer every single question to me. Agatha is one of the funniest, smartest and kindest guides I ever met. I never saw the Big 5 in one day, but no problem for Agatha (I think we even made it in a couple of hours). We could always stay where I liked it and she never rushed me. The evenings were just as much fun as the game drives and here and there she had some surprises which made the tour even more incredible. I am thinking about the safari every day since and I can’t wait to go back and see all these lovely people and the most beautiful country again. I can’t express how thankful I am for the experience, so make a good choice and visit Agatha!Posted on ImmaculateVerified AFROLIONESS BEST SERVICES Afro Lioness Adventures you are the best! My family and I absolutely loved everything about the trip. Being driven by Agatha a multiple awards winner female tour guide was an honour 🎖 to us.Keep up the good work. #AfroLioness Women at work👍Posted on Harieth LVerified December Trip I and my friends had the best experience with Afro lioness.

EXPLORE THE BEAUTY WITH BEAUTIESPosted on RockyRockmaschineVerified Unforgettable amazing time in Africa We had the opportunity to do a 3 day Safari tour in Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and to visit different tribes over 2 days near lake Eyasi with this nice company. We had really experienced guides and all our wishes and dreams to see every kind of animals and to get to know the life of the tribes came true.Specially Agatha, the owner, cared for us before, during and after the Safari 24 h per day. If there was any problem, she solved it immediately and always with a charming laugh smile. We are Backpackers with a small wallet and she also did her very best, to organize everything in an more easy way, that we can safe money, so best costumer service, you can get.The crew was pretty funny as well and it didn't got boring at any time.If we come back, we would definitely do a Safari with Afro Lioness again.
