Testimonials

Here’s what past clients have said about travelling with Embark Adventures:

Climbing Kilimanjaro and going on a safari was a dream of mine and Embark made it so much more than I could have imagined! We could tell our guides, cooks and porters were the best trained on the trail. I will never forget the care and friendship they offered us. Every detail was thought of and we felt safe. We enjoyed every aspect of the Tanzanian country, animals, mountain, culture and its people. So glad we found you!
– Kami N

I was very impressed with Embark. Their staff were professional but very caring. Their whole focus was to help us reach our dream of reaching the summit. They monitored us closely and treated us like family, not just clients. The food was incredible – Joseph could be a chef in a fine restaurant. We compared notes with other hikers and without exception, our guides and support crew treated us and prepared us the best.

My adventure in Africa, and especially my climb of Kilimanjaro,  progressed flawlessly, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose Embark to be my adventure travel company.

I can’t thank you enough for the amazing trip you put together for us. We had an outstanding time! All the details of the climb were great. The safari could not have gone better. We saw so many animals and had so many unique encounters that we both feel really lucky.

Embark Adventures truly provided a trip of a lifetime for me to Tanzania. Donovan organized our trek to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro and put together an unbelievable wildlife safari, which was beyond my expectations. Embark even arranged for us to visit several villages and interact with the local people. I can’t imagine that anyone else going to Tanzania could have had a more rich and unique adventure. The trip was simply amazing and a dream come true.

From start to finish, Embark handled every aspect of our climb with professionalism and aplomb. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, the gear was top-notch and the meals on the mountain were the best we had in Africa.

Taking the less-beaten path, Embark sets itself apart from other tour providers on the mountain as a company that isn’t just about getting you up and down the mountain, but doing it in a way that would give the best experience. While other groups slogged through barren trails packed with other climbing groups, we spent most of the trip hiking in peace and quiet, soaking in the gorgeous landscape.

Donovan planned our group’s trip to Tanzania superbly. He worked to cater the itinerary to our specifications and held our “collective hand” throughout the planning process via countless emails and conference calls. We were more than impressed by the quality of the local personnel, the extent to which they knew their trade and how personable they were.
