We just got back from an amazing 4-day Safari with Greyjoy tours . The company really stands out with their outstanding level of service! The office was very helpful in customizing our trip to our needs and our budget. Our guide, Eugen, was very very experienced, he told us every single detail about the animals and background information about the national parks. Above any expectations, he served every day a super delicious lunch in a great scenery. Honestly, the lunches organized by Greyjoy were by far the best food we had in Tanzania! Eugen even cleaned the Safari Jeep every day, not that we have expected that at all. And last but not least he has a very good sense of humor 🙂 So if you are looking for an unbeatable safari experience in Tanzania look no further and go with Greyjoy tours & Safari and ask for Eugen as guide!

In June We had a fantastic experience climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro with the GreyJoy team. The guide Imma and his team were very professional and skilled. We did the Machame route in 7 days.

The food served was delicious and they truly went out of their way to ensure we are all having a great time.

Highly recommend GreyJoy to people who want to climb Kilimanjaro.
