Fantastic safaris thanks to Arem Safaris!
Arem Safaris provided two separate excursions, one half day and one full day, and it could not have been a better experience. Godlove took care of everything for us and was a fantastic planner, tour guide, teacher, driver, expert, etc. He was extremely thoughtful about providing the best experience possible, and his knowledge was evident throughout. It’s clear he cares both about the places he’s showing and the guest experience. If/when I return I will absolutely turn to him again for my next adventure, and I have already recommended Godlove and Arem to friends who are considering a trip to Tanzania. He was a pleasure to work with, and I’m so happy we went with Arem Safaris.

Arusha National Park 1/2 Day game drive
We only had a short time for our safari, but even with limited time or half day visit to Arusha National Park was fantastic. Our safari guide Godlove was very knowledgeable about the Park and all the wildlife. We had ample time to stop, watch and photograph a wide variety of animals. It was a comfortable pace with a tasty lunch and beautiful scenery. I would definitely do it again.

Tour of Arusha National Park
I was in Arusha for a work trip & we wanted to squeeze in some sightseeing while we were here. God Love was a fantastic tour guide & we enjoyed our tour through Arusha National Park. He made the trip fun & answered all of our questions! It was so great seeing all of the different landscapes & animals through the park! I wish I had a couple more days to explore!

Amazing experience with a company that really cares about their clients.
I was part of a 14 person team who summited Kilimanjaro with Arem Safaris. We could not have done it without their expertise but more importantly the care and dedication all the guides and porters gave us. It really was a team effort. the guides are very knowledgeable and although it seemed like we were walking so slowly, there was a reason - we acclimatized properly to the increase in altitude. The camps were really well organized and the quality and quantity of the food cooked was amazing especially as it was over a one burner stove under a tarp. I loved the fact Arem is a local Tanzania company - that means everything goes to locals, helping them and their economy recover after the lack of tourism over the last few years.

Unforgettable and memorable!!
Just came back from an unforgettable trip to Kilimanjaro. We were a large group - largest that Arem safaris has done to date of 14 climbers plus the support staff required for such a big group. It took months of planning and coordinating and Godlove was prompt, courteous and efficient in his responses. We had many questions especially being so far away and for such an important trip. While there were minor issues here and there as always will be in a group our size, what stood out for me was the willingness and helpful attitude of the team that hiked with us to resolve them. I cannot say enough about the guides and porters Arem Safaris had on their team. All the guides starting from the lead Dickson to Elias, Lazaro, Raymond, Aneili, Leonard, and Mr. Hope. Each and every one of them went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, help and encourage us, and make what can be an intimidating experience seem fun and enjoyable. The food made by the chef was absolutely delicious and nutritious. By day 1, we had the routine mastered - from wake up coffee/tea, to providing hot water for washing to the daily briefs and health checks. Personally I interacted with every guide at some point during my 6 day trek and am grateful to all of them for their help. However, special thanks to Elias who stayed with me every single day and without whose help I couldn’t have summited Kilimanjaro. He made my dream of reaching Uhuru peak come true. I was so touched by his maturity, his sincerity and his kindness and this will be a memory of a lifetime. All of us in the group had help from all the guides at some point during our ascent or descent which can be physically and mentally challenging. Their words of encouragement and their uplifting songs were invaluable during the rough moments. Dickson the head guide did a great job of coordinating and managing such a large operation. We gave them feedback on a few things which will only help them to get better and meet the expectations of future clients. We were also delighted to support a local company so that the money reaches the guides and porters directly. Thankyou again for everything Arem Safaris! I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Experience of a lifetime
Climbed Mount Kili with a group of 14. I cannot recommend this experience enough! Arem Safaris was organized, accommodating and helpful throughout the whole booking process. Once the tour began, I had the best possible experience. The guides were the most genuinely helpful and kind people that did everything in their power to ensure we had a successful summit. The porters and other staff also worked unbelievably hard and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. We all felt so welcomed and really felt that we were all on one team. I also booked a safari in Arusha National Park on a day's notice. My guide, Mike, was great, fun and knowledgeable. I had a great time and would definitely recommend this!

Amazing experience!!
A group of us climbed Kilimanjaro in September 2022 Arem Safaris provided an exceptional experience, I have no doubt that our success in making it to the top was 100% due to the supportive guides and hard working porters. Every aspect of the 6 day climb was orchestrated to make sure we were as comfortable as possible and had the support (nutritious, energizing food) to make it to the top. I would recommend Arem 100 times over. They made us feel so welcome and were so appreciative to share the beauty of Tanzania with us.

Trustworthy, Professional, Friendly - AMAZING tour agency.
When looking for a tour agency to use to climb Kilimanjaro, you have to get it right. You can't go back and ‘redo.’ Most of us will wait our whole lives to fill this bucket list item and summit to the top. Arem Safari was everything and more than what I wanted. You wont find a better agency from start to finish. I took a team of 14 climbers on the 6-day Machame root. Arem checked all the boxes: Safe, reliable, trustworthy, eco-friendly, fair pay to staff, they give back to the community, knowledgeable, professional and incredibly high communication. From the second we landed, their owner Godlove picked us up, had everything arranged and delivered everything we asked for. His team was incredibly helpful, always willing to serve and for the entire trek felt like they would do anything to help us summit. Each of our team members felt safe and in good hands. Honestly, I couldn’t recommend a better tour operator. We used Arem back in 2021 as well with a team of 6 and in the future will be using them for all experiences. If you want a great experience, value pricing, and a trustworthy agency – I strongly recommend Arem Safari.

BEST TOUR COMPANY (for mountain trekking and safaris)
We just returned from a trip of a lifetime! We did the 6-day Machame route trek up Mount Kilimanjaro, plus a 1-day safari to Tarangire National Park (we had limited time otherwise would have done a longer safari). Arem Safaris will customize any of your trip needs and give you a great local experience! They are a new company and they aim to please, in fact, exceed expectations!!! So look no further! They were top-notch, held our hand right from the airport until the end, we felt super safe and they were great people to deal with! The prices were very reasonable and I liked how the money stayed local to pay the people who truly deserved it giving us this incredible experience. (Support local!) Highlight of the trip: reaching the top of Uhuru Peak! This would not have been possible without the guidance and support of our phenomenal guides: Dickson and Lazaro from Arem Safaris. My husband and I are almost 50 and the mountain is tough. Dickson had impeccable first aid training so we felt utterly safe (they assessed our health and oxygen levels every morning and night). They were well versed in the knowledge of the mountain, giving us a nightly debrief of what to expect the next day (what to wear/pack, terrain expectations, etc). Lazaro thankfully took my camera and I was pleasantly surprised to find the most unforgettable pictures/videos of our trek (ex. the Barranco wall, and walking the final stretches during sunrise up to the peak). In fact, the whole team of people showed us extreme kindness - encouraging us along the way and meeting us on the mountain afterward to congratulate us. They are the type of people who would give you the shirt off their back (and what I really witnessed is that they behave the same way with each other). Just truly genuine people. Kudos to Adam, our chef, for the amazing food! We didn't know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised with each meal. We had a private toilet tent (so worth it), a waiter, the porters, everything exceeded expectations! We felt like family by the end. So look no further - you are in great hands with this company. Support local and you will get just that - an authentic, unforgettable local experience!
