ExcellentBased on 13 reviewsAidasas2024-03-26Perfect safari We were a group of 15 people visiting northern Tanzania, and we have booked two day safari to Tarangire and Ngorongoro with Dare 2 Travel. This was our best decision ! The service was WONDERFUL. Guides / drivers Martin, Simba and Levis were great, told us a lot, and most importantly - were taking safety as nr. 1. Everything exceeded our expectations. I suppose the fact that, at the end of the day, we were already leaving the park, but the driver took extra mile as has spotted a lion and we got one of the best photos, tells a lot. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. You must book through them.Vaidas S2024-03-26Great two day safari ! We are so glad we followed the recommendation and used Dare 2 Travel ! We have booked a two day safari which was magnificent. The drivers / guides Simba, Martin and Levis were FANTASTIC. They were professional and most important - very safe drivers. We have received a lot of info and enjoyed every minute of the tour. We also booked a trip to Mataruni waterfall, and the hike was a great one too. Highly recommend !Olga K2024-03-25They are the best Our two days safari, coffee tour and visit to Waterfall in Materuni with this company was perfect!

Good organizing and communication overall, but there were 2 slightly stressful situations: hike staff (mandatory) tiping and hotel being unpaid in time. In the end,everything was ok though and we had a great time. Thank you.Jan Grashuis2022-07-28Climbing the Kili via the Northern Circuit We had a great experience in succeeding to climb the Kilimanjaro with this organization. They organized a great and professional team for us and supported us all the way to the summit. We will never forget this adventure.rosalie v2022-02-28Killing the Kili In 2022 hebben we de Kilimanjaro beklommen via de reisorganisatie Better Places en Dare2Travel Consultants. Het was een hele bijzondere ervaring en heel goed verzorgt. De gidsen en porters waren professioneel en zorgen goed voor ons. We voelden ons zelfs VIP's op de berg. Mocht je de Kilimanjaro willen beklimmen, boek dan bij Dare2Travel. Dan weet je zeker dat je in goede handen bent en dat je de top gaat halen. Aanrader!Lena Oswald2022-02-28My adventurous climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro I woke up extremely joyful on the morning of 26th January 2022. I could only picture the adventures that were ahead of me for the next 8 days. The climb was awesome and enjoyable because the hospitality I received from the whole team, from day 1 was exceptional. These are people I got to meet for the first time but they turned out to be the best company which made my climb easy and very memorable. ???? Each one of them played their different roles in supporting me where the climb was tough, ensuring I eat and drink, cracked jocks and trust me, the laughter was one of the ingredients for my good health throughout. They also kept giving me hope and these words helped me a lot as I kept ascending to the top. The food was on point.???? Despite the changes in appetite due to high altitude, I still kept going as the food was suitable for the place. The consultants were also involved despite being on the ground. They kept checking on me through the team to ensure I am in good health and fit to proceed. Thanks Dar 2 Travel Consultants and team, we managed to summit Africa’s highest point on the morning of 01st February 2022 and it was wow. I recommend Dare 2 Travel Consultants because the services they give are just what one needs to accomplish such a lifetime adventure. ????l.almog2019-10-21Excellent safari professional people served us with a big smile all the time . the safari was well organized and they were very attentive to all of our needs .the drivers were very kind and they had a lot of knowledge about everything .
