Thomson Safaris repeat trav Thomson Safaris Review: My 6th safari was the best one yet!

We have traveled with Thomson Safaris for five extraordinary safaris, including the extension to the Mahale Mountains, and I believe our 2013  trip  was one of the best safaris yet!

The Thomson tented camps (especially in the East Serengeti) and Gibbs Farm are our very favorite places to stay. Freddy was a fabulous guide, again, and we had an amazing extension on the gorilla trek in Rwanda.

That was an experience of a lifetime.

What a team. Consummate professionals. I did extensive research and I was not let down. I liked the 9-day option and the day light summit attempt.

Thomson has excellent credibility and reputation among the industry. I came across some other outfits on the mountain that I thanked the Lord I was not climbing with.  No question I would tell anyone looking for the right trekking company, you are the only way to go.

If you want to climb Kilimanjaro and  enjoy doing it, call Thomson. I booked the trip after extensive internet research and went through your website. Why anyone would book the trek based on a cheaper price astounds me.

Thomson Safaris Corie S. Thomson Safaris Western Approach Review: I felt safe and cared for

We had an excellent time! William, our head guide, was amazing!! The porters were extremely helpful. Every time you turned around they were there to help you with the pack, tent or warm water.

I felt safe and cared for. Thank you for the great adventure!  I will recommend Thomson to anyone due to the team’s professionalism, customer service and concern for our safety.

Thomson Safaris Family Sa Thomson Safaris Review: Thanks for memories that will last a lifetime!

We had a wonderful time. It was the perfect mix of visits to local villages, schools, and of course great wildlife viewing. The food was really excellent. We enjoyed the different flavors and the effort to please a Western palate without being unadventurous.

The Eastern Serengeti Nyumba was beautifully situated, and had a very nice common area that encouraged socializing among visitors.

Thanks for memories that will last a lifetime!

Yes we made it!! It was so exciting (and hard) but we were both so proud. I can’t thank you enough. I felt like you prepared  me so well for the trip which made our success. We had all the right clothes and layers. I felt my expectations were right on with all the information you had given me. The two ladies we met up were perfect companions too. It was really an amazing experience and top quality. I always felt safe. It was the perfect Mom and daughter experience and truly a life time experience!!!! - Jill R.

It was very challenging, but I cried with happiness when I reached the top.  Everyone involved took wonderful care of us.  We were always well fed and well hydrated and everyone attended promptly to any issues that came up. – Lauren R.
