Information provided by various external sources

Experience East Africa is a family business, started to provide people of all ages with the opportunity to enjoy the “experience” of a life-time. While we can tailor-make your East African adventure down to the finest details, our trips usually embrace one or more of three elements – Kilimanjaro Climbs, Safari, and/or Orphanage & Mission work. Our centre of operations is the city of Arusha in northern Tanzania, close to the Kenyan border, it’s a renowned international hub, and just an hour from Kilimanjaro International Airport. It’s the perfect location, within easy driving distance of Mount Kilimanjaro, Mount Meru, and Tanzania’s world famous National Parks: Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Lake Manyara and Tarangire. While Mount Kilimanjaro and the National Parks are the destinations for our climbing and safari adventures, our Orphanage & Mission work takes place in and around the Arusha region, where the need in countless orphanages and local communities is endless.

Experience East Africa

If you ever have a chance to go to you should. I’ll never forget my trip to Tanzania as it’s one in a lifetime opportunity. I feel really fortunate for the opportunity Experience East Africa gave me and hope I can go again in the future.

I visited Tanzania in February 2019 for my third time and again wouldn’t have done it any other way except through Experience East Africa. The preparation and updates in terms of itinerary/flights/accomodation/cost etc leading up to the trip was second to none and I knew 100% that all details were taken care of. The overall trip was for 10 days where we visited a number of primary schools & orphanages running sports day, giving out gifts and simply just spending time with the children. We also went on Safari for a day where we got to see Lions, Rhinos, Hippos and all other wildlife, which was definitely an experience I’ll keep forever! The overall experience was amazing and I’m almost sure I wouldn’t have enjoyed my time if it weren’t for the professionalism and organisation of this company who put my mind at ease leading up to, but also throughout my trip too!! The accomodation was great and clean, and the food was more than we could have asked for (we had a 3 course meal every night!) once again thank you to all at Experience East Africa for the overall experience and I know 100% next time I visit Tanzania I’ll be sure to book through you again 😊 x

Trip of a lifetime

I've wanted to climb Kilimanjaro since I was a child and eventually did so in October/November 2018, thanks to Experience East Africa. We packed so much into 10 days - every aspect of the trip was well organised for us to get the most out of our time in Tanzania, and the leaders/guides (both from EEA itself and the company Climbing Kilimanjaro who led the actual climb) were friendly, knowledgeable and so joyful and positive. After six days of climbing, we had a safari day at Tarangire National Park, followed by two days during which we visited two orphanages and a street children's centre. Some of the children's stories were so sad, but it was heartwarming to hear from the amazing people who are trying to help them toward a better future, and great to be able to help in some small way through the gifts we had brought from UK (EEA had organised for everyone to be able to take an extra suitcase to fill with clothes, toys, etc for the places we were visiting). I've left a little bit of my heart in Tanzania and would love to go back again, hopefully with some family members, and will have no hesitation in choosing to go with EEA again.

My Experience in Tanzania, East Africa

My experience in Tanzania, East Africa was definitely the best experience I've ever been through in my whole life! Spending over 10 days with an awesome bunch of friendly and bubbly people was just incredible!
I loved everything we did from the missionary work in schools and orphanages, to the safari day and also the rest day, which was essential for everybody on the trip because we were so busy, we all needed the rest!
For the team who was behind everything in terms of booking the trip, I cant thank them enough! Literally every single little detail was covered, and not at any point did I feel unsure about anything.
All I had to remember to bring was my suitcase, passport, malaria tablets and myself!
I would 1000% recommend Experience East Africa to anybody who is interested in travelling to East Africa!
cant wait to go back in 2019!!

Trip of a Lifetime!

I had a simply life changing trip with Experience East Africa! The team were incredible; they were fun and enthusiastic and they done everything and more for us to ensure that our trip exceeded all of our expectations. Each day was different to the previous day and each day we were able to experience a new side to the many components of Tanzania, where we visited! We were able to do so much during our time there, but we also had time to chill and to relax and to enjoy the beautiful country. Visiting Africa was simply a life changing experience and it has completely changed my day to day outlook of life! It will be an experience that will stay with me forever and I hope that one day I will be able to go back and to experience it all over again!!

Such an amazing experience ....

Meeting all the amazing and inspirational children, teachers and carers in the schools and orphanages was incredible. I feel as if Africa has changed me as a person, and the experience has impacted my life massively! The most heart-hitting moment was visiting Huruma Children's Orphanage, hearing stories about how some of the children had been left on a rubbish tip, before being brought into the home to be looked after. I honestly can't put into words how heart breaking it was to hear, but knowing that they are safe and healthy in a home with people who care and love them is the best feeling in the world. Thank you to EEA for giving me the opportunity to go to Tanzania.

Experience of a Lifetime!!!

I had the most unbelievable trip with Experience East Africa. A super friendly, and enthusiastic team that organise the trip superbly, never leaving you worry about a thing! The itinerary is planned efficiently, enabling you to see, experience and HELP as much as you possibly can in the time you have! It's a well known fact that Africa is a third world Country, but it literally is a totally different world to which we live here in the U.K, and until you witness that first hand, there is no explaining the impact it will have on you. It will quiet literally change your life, and your outlook on it, forever. I cannot recommend this organisation enough! One of my goals is to climb Kilimanjaro, and thanks to Experience East Africa, organising/achieving that goal is made very simple! I now have the 'heart for Africa' bug, once you go, you'll catch it too!! I cannot wait to go back!!

My experience to Africa

My experience to Africa was a once in a lifetime trip. When I arrived I could not believe how much of a different place it was, it was like a whole other world. From the road to the houses, everything was so much more different too what I am used too. Stepping off the bus and the children just running at you too hug you and speak to you was the most overwhelming feeling I have ever felt in my life. Every single person that I met when I was there from the children to the adults they were all amazing, humble people. It was crazy to be in a place with so much poverty and it really opened my eyes and put into perspective what I have in my life, and even thought I was in a completely different place I’ve never felt so safe around everyone before, it was bizarre. It was a trip that I will never forget and it’s something that I would love to do every single year, helping the orphanages and making the children happy made my heart melt, it was the best experience of my entire life and I can’t wait to visit again and see the joy on the children’s faces once again.
