Trip of a lifetime Pius put together the trip of a lifetime for my husband and I. It was our honeymoon and our safari was more than we ever imagined. We had a private safari and the driver Pius chose for us was outstanding. It was our last day and he was the first driver to spot 3 Rhino's in the park. It was such an amazing experience to see the Big 5! Second, our accommodations were top notch. I would highly recommend African Spoonbill Tours. This was a trip we will never forget.

Una GRAN EXPERIENCIA Ellos nos ayudaron a que nuestra estancia en Tanzania fuera especial. Fui con mi pareja de viaje de novios, subimos el Kilimanjaro con ellos ( guías, porteadores, cocinero y camarero de 10) y también nos fuimos de Safari (guía y cocinero geniales) Ambas experiencias han sido muy buenas y repetiríamos sin dudarlo. Tuvimos guía de Safari y guía de Montaña y los dos hablaban español, no muy frecuente en Tanzania. Nos llevamos muy buen recuerdo de Tanzania y de ellos. Esperamos volver a verlos algún día!! Hasta pronto!!

Muy buena Contratamos el viaje de novios con ellos para subir al Kilimanjaro y hacer 3 días de safari y se preocuparon porque todo saliera muy bien y que fuese una experiencia muy positiva. Nos pusieron guías de habla española y porteadores guías cocineros lo hicieron todo excelente. Pius el dueño de la agencia se molestó en venir a visitarnos para ver que todo fuera bien e incluso llevarnos al aeropuerto de Arusha para ir a Zanzíbar.

Amazing experience climbing Kilimanjaro We climbed Kilimanjaro (Machame route). It was an incredible experience. Everything perfectly organized and the guides, porters, cooker, assistants…took care of us as if we were family. Thanks to them we all could make it. 10 from 10 arrive to Uhuru peak! Thanks all. I would highly recommend it!!
