Owned by a guiding family for 8 years.
Went for 5 days climb to Kili from Marangu Gate. Good preparation (all missing equipment provided for free), great organisation and splendide execution..All of it for a fare price. Thank you Marko, Kenny, Rama and the rest of the team!
I’m glad I chose African traces for my Kilimanjaro climb via the 6-day Machame route. Marko, the owner, was very responsive throughout the planning phase and made modifications up until the last moments
Our safari was a 5-day trip. Marko helped us arranged it. Marko is really responsible and every time reply to me with a fast speed. Even helped us to get the SIM card. William was our guide, he is really gentle, friendly, and kind.
The trip was amazing. William was our guide. We are sure the safari experience wouldnt be the same without him. He made sure we are ok every second, that we saw the animals we wanted and as close as possible.
My wife and I booked trough African traces both the kilimanjaro treck and safari and are extremely happy we did. After 12 years of being a porter to cook to assistant guide to chief guide and finally safari guide
