Pamoja Safaris

Its hard to put into words just how amazing our trip was with Pamoja! We spent three weeks in Tanzania + Zanzibar and Pamoja coordinated every little detail for us, and it all went so smoothly! Safari was absolutely incredible. We saw The Big Five and countless other animals up close and personal! Josh, our guide, was amazing, and we loved spending time with him learning about the land and animals. After safari, we took on Mount Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho 8-day route. Pamojas crew is hands down the best on the mountain and made our experience truly unforgettable; it was difficult to say goodbye to our crew at the end, but we will cherish the memories with them forever. After we completed the hike, we flew over to Zanzibar for some much needed R&R and Pamoja coordinated a driver for us for whenever we needed one. This was our dream honeymoon, and it couldnt have gone any better we are so grateful for the entire team at Pamoja, and wed recommend Pamoja to everyone!

Picking a Safari company is tough. It is usually a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and you want it to be just right. There are hundreds of companies providing the service in multiple countries throughout Africa and sometimes have widely varying prices and reviews. I agonized over the process for several weeks before deciding on Pamoja for several reasons. First, we narrowed our search to Tanzania. We were interested in seeing animals in a setting as close to it was 5,000 years ago so we ruled out all of the private reserves and fenced parks scattered throughout Africa. The Tanzanian trail that includes Tarangire, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro offered us the best opportunity to see lots of animals in their natural state. Next, we were looking for a company that was family-friendly. There were four of us, with the youngest two being 10 and 12. We needed an engaging, knowledgeable, and exciting guide to keep us focused. Third, we were looking for moderate accommodations. We were not looking for luxury accommodations with fine wine, a butler service, and imported Russian caviar, but we do value a hot shower, a filling meal, and a comfortable night's rest. I reached out to Scott Brills at Pamoja after listening to a trusted travel podcast where he was a guest. He sounded relaxed and really focused on the customer experience. Safaris are expensive, but the price quoted by Pamojo was fair, and below other quotes I received. After several conversations, we took the plunge and booked the trip. Our experience from that point was top-notch. Scott took the time to customize our safari based on the number of days we had available. He stayed connected and walked us through the visa application process, and consistently urged us to get our stuff together as quickly as possible to avoid last-minute stress. On arrival day, his terrific business partner Joshua Loy met us at the Kilimanjaro airport and drove us to Arusha for our first night. The drive in the luxury extended Land Cruiser was a new and exciting experience. Some key takeaways.. Scott was amazing at communicating with us prior to the start of our adventure. He took a significant amount of worrying out of the journey. Joshua, co-owner and our guide, was exceptional. He loves his job and was incredibly enthusiastic throughout the journey. When we spotted the rhino, he was so excited to share the moment with us. He worked hard to put us in the best position possible, and we felt incredibly safe with him. If we were traveling to Tanzania again, we would definitely use Pamoja Safari; They were terrific to work with and genuinely good people. If you feel so inclined, you can also book a hike to the summit of Kilimanjaro through them.

Simply the best. Ive been other safaris (I know, I know, tough life) and they dont compare. With Pamoja, youre getting a real safari experience with guides who not only are incredibly knowledgeable but truly passionate about their country and the animals - and bend over backward to make sure you get to experience it all. If youre looking to see as many animals as possible (and you are, right?) while also getting the type of inside scoop that other companies dont offer, then look no further. Ill be back - for sure!

I could not say enough good things about Scott and Josh! From start to finish both made sure that our trip was incredible. We booked an 8 day Safari and climbed Kilimanjaro. Josh was our Safari guide and he did everything in his power to make sure we saw everything on our bucket list. Josh was very knowledgeable making our trip that much better! All of the lodges we stayed at were incredible and the food was phenomenal. The staff we had during the climb were extremely friendly, very professional, very knowledgeable and did everything possible to help us make it to the top. Scott was on top of everything on the planning side, including ensuring we had enough tome before our flight yo receive our COVID results without sacrificing any part of our trip. I could not recommend Pamoja Safaris enough! They provided us a grip of a lifetime we will never forget!
