Perfectly orchestrated safari
We were amazed about how well organized everything was. Our guide Bakari was always doing his best to make us see all animals, landscapes und to be getting the best photos of them. The whole trip was well organised. The food was just amazing. We've enjoyed our warm meals, he was respecting our special needs as well ( vegetarian, lactose untolerance and gluten free). The orgonasors were flexible, beating uns a personalised experience ( airport und hotel pick up ..) The camping facilities were very very decent ( Toilets, tents, sleep sacks, hot shower).

Perfect!
Had a great experience booking with Leken Adventure! They were able to add us to a group safari just 2 days before it started. Everything went off without a hitch, and the free hotel was really nice. Bonus: the price was less than most of the quotes I got from other operators. Highly recommended!

Just Fabulous
We had the best experience in our lifes booking the 4 day camping safari with Lenken adventure. You can never expect better. From the beginning, Alex was there for us helping us with organization, answering our questions about the slightest details and meeting all our requests. It went all wonderfully smooth!
During the trip we have been taken care of like kings. Our cook Tadeus made us the best food ever and our driver guide Bakary was so taking care of us that we didnt find enough good words to thank him at the end. Thank you so much to all the team for such fabulous experience

Wonderful experience, unforgettable memories
The Safari was a wonderful experience. We really loved it and it overcame all our expectations. We saw almost all of the animals, even those most unusual.
Bakari was the best driver we could imagine - he gave us a lot of informations and we always had the best place to spot the animals!
And when it comes to the food - it was really delicious, varied and we were positively surprised that we always had two hot meals a day. Lucky is a really good cook!
Highly recommended!

The safari was great. Communication with Alex was very fluid and he was able to accomodate all our needs. We would recommend Leken adventures for your trip.

A Memorable Trek to the Roof of Africa (6-day Machame Route)
My friend and I embarked on a 6-day Machame Route trek, a challenging yet rewarding path that promised breathtaking vistas and an exhilarating challenge and we definitely enjoyed every minute of this adventure thanks to our amazing guides William and Amani and the whole crew!
Our guides, William and Amani, were the epitome of expertise and support. Their knowledge of the mountain ecosystem was vast, and they shared it with us in a way that made our ascent even more enriching. They were constantly on the lookout for our well-being, ensuring our safety and providing valuable insights into the changing terrain and rising altitude. William and Amani were also extremely positive and supportive, especially during the summit day. I can safely say that I would not have made it to the top without their top-notch support and constant cheering.
Eli, our chef, was a culinary maestro. Each meal was a symphony of flavors and textures, meticulously prepared to fuel our bodies for the demanding days ahead. We were amazed to see how well he was able to cook in the improvised camping environment. His culinary skills were truly exceptional, and we were grateful for his ability to nourish us with such delicious and nutritious meals.
The porters, a tireless and cheerful bunch, were the backbone of our expedition. They carried our tents, food, and equipment with unwavering dedication, their strength and endurance inspiring us to persevere. Moreover, they proved to be also a great entertainers and singers as they greeted us with an amazing medley of songs on many occasions, even after we successfully ascended the Uhuru peak. I would also like to thank Belfast again for helping me walk safely back to base camp when the fatigue really hit me.
Special mention goes to Honest who was taking care of our tent and serving us the amazing food prepared by the chef. He was always very kind and ready to help, ensured that our water bottles were always full and our snacks were readily available, often anticipating our needs before we even realized them. His willingness to go the extra mile added a touch of personal care that made our experience even more memorable.
Lastly, all the preparation before the trip was also smooth thanks to truly 24/7 support from Alex who was always promptly responding via WhatsApp and anything was not a problem for him. Alex was even able to get us a recipe for the delicious banana stew we had for lunch one day during the trek :)
To summarise, our Machame Route trek was an adventure that surpassed all expectations. The occasional bouts of altitude sickness tested our resolve, but the support of our guides, chef, and porters kept us going. Their encouragement and shared experiences helped us push through the physical discomfort and maintain focus on the summit. I would recommend this trek to anyone seeking an unforgettable challenge and a chance to connect with nature on a profound level while being supported by the great team of Leken adventures.
Knowledgeable and Experienced Guides for a Successful Summit
We had a great time hiking up Kilimanjaro using the 6-day Machame route with Aggrey as the guide and his excellent crew of porters and support staff. Communication with Leken was very efficient and they answered all our questions quickly. The service was very good. We were hesitant to spend much money but found Leken very affordable.

Great operator, AMAZING wildlife!
There truly aren't words to express how much we loved our tour and loved Tanzania. Leken was a fantastic operator; they were communicative, willing to answer all of our questions before the trip, and able to accommodate our requests. The guide we had, Alex, was truly one of a kind. He was knowledgeable, personal, funny, and felt like part of our group. We LOVED the safari!
We went to Tarangire, Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara NP. Though each park had its own unique charm, Serengeti was far an away our favorite. The vast plains and incredible birdlife only added to African favorites like giraffe, elephants, lions, and cheetahs. We even got a leopard!
I am an avid birder, though my wife and friends were not. Nevertheless, there was something for everyone. Hundreds of species of birds, dozens of species of mammals, and amazing reptiles and amphibians. The vistas alone are worth the trip, but the 264 species of birds I saw were even better!
We cannot recommend Leken enough. The accommodations arranged were also fantastic; comfortable beds, hot showers, good food, and friendly staff.

An amazing time with Leken Adventure
We did the 6 day Kilimanjaro trek (Machame Route) and 6 day Safari (including Serengeti) with Leken Adventure and it was an amazing journey!
We had fantastic guides for both and Alex from Leken was always helpful and quick to respond to any question we had.
The entire team on the Kilimanjaro trek was so helpful and it felt like family! Our guide at the Safari knew a lot about animals and made sure we saw the big 5 :) The accommodations and food was also always really good and they tailored it to us being vegetarian.
We can highly recommend traveling with Leken! 5 out of 5 stars!

We (me and my boyfriend) did Kilimanjaro and safari tour with Leken adventure. Alex was very responsive and organisied everything we wanted.
We did 6 day Kilimanjaro Machame route tour with guide Leonard and his team (Present, Sadih, Eli,..). They were all very professional and made us feel very welcome. They even taught us a little bit of swahili language.
Leonard made sure that the trip was safe and always reminded us to be confident about reaching the peak. On the peak day i felt very tired and sleepy and i almost gave up but they motivated me to reach the top.
Since i have coeliac disease i asked the company if they could provide me gluten free meals. I was very surprised by Eli (chef) awarness of gluten free diet. He prepared many different and very delicious meals (except store snacks - you better have some with you if you are on gluten free diet).
We also did 3 day Serengeti and Ngorongoro safari tour with Jonas. He was very passionate about finding animals and he had a lot of knowladge about them. We found all the big 5 with him.
We were more than satisfied with the services Leken adventure offered.
The following does not have anithing to do with Leken adventure company but it is something i wish i would be aware of in advance: Guides/porters on Kilimanjaro and safari tours expect big tips. For Kilimanjaro it is expected to tip guide 20$/day, guide assistant and cook 15$/day and each porter 10$/day. (this tips were expected for the whole group not per each client) On safari tour guide expected 10$/day and cook 5$/day (from each client on the tour).
Asante sana to all of you that made our trip unforgettable!
