One Team, One Dream!
Staff, accommodations, food, etc...all top notch.

We summited Kilimanjaro under a full moon and then had a five day Safari through Manyara, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti.

It couldn't have been a more full experience. Adam of WFT runs a great group. It is a family that you are celebrating with while you are visiting and I have returned with indelible life memories.

Amazing. Unbelievable. I keep telling people that if they ever want to go adventure in Tanzania I have the guy and he has the team, because as we already know it has to be, ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM!!!

Ahsante Sana!

Exceeded All Expectations!
I had been on a Safari before and thought it couldn't get any better. I was wrong. Adam and his exceptional team of guides provided a safari experience without parallel. Each guide was professional, knowledgeable, engaging, and personable.

As I observed other guides from other safari operations, I was even more impressed. Our guides remained actively engaged with us the entire trip--their enthusiasm was contagious, their breadth of knowledge was mind-boggling. Each stop along the way was more magical than the last. The accommodations, food and transportation were all flawless. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Wilderness First Travel. In fact, I have already begin to do so!

Kilimanjaro trek
A successful climb of Mt Kilimanjaro involves many things - - adequate physical conditioning, determination, planning, proper clothing -- things for which the trekker is responsible.

Something beyond the individual and that cannot be left to chance, however, is a competent outfitter. Our group was very fortunate to engage Adam Nkinde and the Wilderness First Travel team as our outfitter. It was clear from the beginning they are experienced, capable, and committed to ensuring an eventful experience for each trekker. Adam posses a physical presence and gracious demeanor that inspire confidence. His team of guides, porters, and kitchen staff were devoted to him and the WFT creed of service.

Throughout the trek, Adam and the guides provided positive reinforcement (don't kid yourself, parts of the climb are difficult and a little boost makes a difference), attention to individual's needs, and a genuine spirit of wanting to share just how special it is to climb Kilimanjaro. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing, and that is exactly what Adam and his team provide - - it guarantees trekkers will 'live in the moment' and enjoy the experience of a lifetime. Rich R

Eye-widening life escapade
This past spring break has created (April 2019), not only for me (a fourteen-year-old student in Dubai) but my family of four, an experience that has widened our eyes to the natural world around us and has adapted to stick with us even away from this magical place. The trip, with Adam, was absolutely a happing I wouldn't have expected. I remember seeing the animals for the first time in the wilderness; so selfless, aware and elegant. As a young child, I would always watch National Geographic documentaries. Therefore, seeing this all come to life, felt as if the scenes were to be jumping out of television screen. A life long dream come true!

Consequently, I would highly recommend Wilderness First Travel to other people that enjoy visiting beautiful sites and experiencing majestic animal encounters. Being socially awkward and a shy person has always made it troublesome to interact with people and thereby habitually prefer to let my parents do the talking. Though, with especially Adam and all the other staff, I felt less of the need to conceal myself due to their warm and welcoming nature. Also, all the accommodations were marvelous, each one better than the last. Everything was sanitary and well maintained, and lastly, the open roof safari car was an exciting ride to be enduring the trip on.

This trip has not only been enjoyable but has benefitted our lives ever since. Allowing us to be more aware of the circumstances in which people within specific cultures around Africa live in a deputy; without clean water or access to proper education. Hence, thank you, Adam, for letting us have such an eye-widening life escapade.

Kili summit
Adam and his team were top notch. They made my trip a 5 star experience from the pick up at airport to drop off at the end. Going solo was the way to go- each day was catered to my physical and emotional self. The food was like eating at a gormet restaurant every meal- lots of fresh fruit and veggies too.

The team was always smiles and ready to please. To me, there is no question; if you are hiking Kili you HAVE to have Adam. I noticed the huge amount of respect that he commmands not only from his handpicked team but also from other guides and porters. Was it difficult? Yes, the biggest challenge of my life and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Without this amazing team I would never have successfully summited. The journey to the top was life changing.

Thank you so much Adam!

Greatest experience of my life!
Adam gave us the greatest experience of our lives. We spent a week on Mt. Kilimanjaro and another five days on a safari. During the hike up to Uhuru peak, my two friends and I were pleasantly surprised by the professionalism of Adam and his crew. Everyone was so helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we had a terrific experience on the hike. The food was absolutely fantastic every single meal. The porters were the greatest guys I've ever met. Each and every one of them were extremely kind and friendly and so much fun to be around. Everyone was such a joy and I felt like we were all one big family by the end of the hike.

During the safari Adam took us to four different national parks over the span of five days. We saw the most incredible animals. We saw all the big cats AND small cats of Africa, along with all the other beautiful animals that come to mind when you think of an African Safari. He told us so many interesting facts about the animals throughout the safari. He provides great conversation and keeps things light and fun.

Adam is extremely professional but definitely knows how to have a good time as well. I can confidently say we could not have asked for a better guide during the hike or the safari. He is the best of the best and is all around just a great guy. I highly recommend Wilderness First Travel without a doubt.

No but seriously!
I hate giving 5 stars... mostly because I am extremely picky and I can’t believe something is that good.. BUT this trip was 5 Stars good! The safari was the best experience I will ever have in my life! It was so freeing and beautiful seeing animals in their natural habitat. And Zanzibar! Can’t wait to go back! The host was so friendly and attentive. I will definitely be booking with them again!

An experience second to none
We only had 2 days for safari before flying to Zanzibar, and were able to make the most of it, thanks to Adam. We have seen the big 5, and all other animals that could be seen. The accommodations were better than we would have expected.

Adam, who is the owner of the company and our tour guide was very friendly, and is an expert of the area. His own interest in taking photos in the wild helped us find the best spots to see the animals from very good angels.

Finally, he dropped us at the Seronera airport after an early game drive, and even did the check-in for us.

It was an amazing trip afterall, and Wilderness First was one of the key reasons.

One of the best vacation
Tanzania is really good place for safari and Adam is a perfect guide you would want for this safari. He made our entire trip really fun and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to show us around. He is extremely knowledgable about the animals and the area and will go above and beyond to make this trip memorable for you.

During our planning phase, he was very friendly and accommodating while dealing with us over the phone and emails. He gave us the best rates and lodging options. He was also very adjusting about the way we transferred money to his company. He came on time to pick us up at the airport. He carried lots of water in the car, he also carried local snacks for us and amazing local coffee.

He knew the roads less traveled, and took us through different parts of Serengeti where you would not see any other safari vehicle for miles. And those were some of the best places to see Great Migration. He took extra effort to show us Cheetah which was very hard to see on the days we were there. He literally, stretched the time limit at Ngorongoro crater and it paid off when we got to see endangered Black Rhino and a baby Rhino. Again, when we spotted the Rhinos there was no other safari vehicles around us. It just felt like we would have never seen Rhinos with any other guide.

He is always on time, even at 5:30 in the morning and will definitely stretch till 6 pm in the evening (which is the limit for all of the parks). He is very reliable, friendly and knowledgable guide. I cannot imagine our Tanzania trip without Wilderness First Travel.
