Testimonials From Your Colleagues
Kilimanjaro and Tanzania safari was a wonderful experience. The guides, porters and safari drivers were caring, considerate and excited for you to summit and view many of their unique animals. I can't wait to bring my family in a couple of years!
Very engaging and fun lectures. Made themselves available for questions and discussion on the trail as well.
This is our second trip with Bio Bio and they provided a wonderful experience again! Every detail was planned and executed exceptionally. Tilo was our guide — funny, warm and positive while leading our group of 22 through climbing Kilimanjaro and a week of Safari. My husband and I had extra days on Safari and Marc had every aspect planned. Our guide Said was wonderful, with an eagle eye for spotting animals. I would personally recommend Bio Bio to arrange your next adventure trip!
Booked a 3-day Serengeti safari through Bio Bio Expeditions and could not imagine a better experience. Absolutely first-class service and accommodations, and their staff really went out of their way to assist us when airline travel through Nairobi was delayed many hours. This was similar to our previous trip to the Galapagos Islands also booked through Bio Bio. Highest recommendation!
Forever ruined (in the best way)! I recently did the two-week Mt. Kilimanjaro and Safari adventure and don't think anything will ever compare. The pre-trip info was thorough. The level of organization to manage porters, guides, tents, and food on a mountain is nothing short of miraculous. The 70+ porters were absolute legends — they even catered to my vegan diet. Transfers, accommodations, logistics — everything was seamless. Our main guide, Tilo, was nothing short of epic.
Third trip with Bio Bio. Third 10/10 experience. My favorite thing is knowing every meal is going to be well prepared and delicious — a culinary experience — even halfway up Kilimanjaro in a tent or stepping off a raft onto a beach. Makes the adventure that much more enjoyable.
This was by far the most soul-filling experience I have ever had!! I met the most wonderful and extraordinary people. Everyone is so experienced and friendly. The food is amazing!! Best trip of my life!!
These guys are awesome! I've been on a number of trips with them over the past couple decades. In the States, South America and Africa! Many of the best times of my life! I eventually used Bio Bio for my honeymoon to Kilimanjaro, safari in Tanzania, and beach time in Zanzibar. Highly recommend them for both adventure and relaxation.
I had a great time on the Africa Safari / Kilimanjaro CME trip and it was soooo worth it!!!! ...all the guides and crew were superb!! It was an awesome trip!! I've been an international rafting guide, so I know the complexities of international travel. The lead guide handled it all smoothly, efficiently and made it look easy. At no time did we ever feel stress or insecure or uncertain regarding trip logistics. That is an awesome job by an international crew to make such an involved itinerary feel so smooth to the clients. Extremely well managed!!! You have done a good job establishing relationships in Tanzania. You have quality people on all levels, excellent equipment and quality local operators. Again, exceptional job by all involved!
The entire experience from Kilimanjaro to Serengeti was all fabulous! Well - planned and implemented for a safe and memorable ascent of Kilimanjaro. The staff was wonderful and always helpful and concerned about our safety and comfort. The safari had fabulous meals and accommodations. The camaraderie and friendships created a tight bond in our group. Thanks for a fantastic experience.
It's a must do trip. Bio Bio does an amazing trip, I love the lodges picked by you all. They are really good.
To look back and imagine being high above the clouds that we climbed to reach is such a gift. ....wonderful trip leader ...his knowledge, encouragement and professionalism were outstanding. I always felt safe, happy, and challenged at the same time. Thank you.
The Africa Safari was amazing. We felt so fortunate to be in the best of hands-everything ran like clockwork. This was the best trip I've ever taken.
Words can not express the amazing trip we had! One week of safari (starting in Arusha) followed by a week of Kili climb was a trip of a lifetime for me. The parks we visited on the safari were spectacular, including Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. The lodges we stayed at were first class with great views and terrific food. The Kili climb, headed by Festo, was such an incredible experience. Parts of it were tough but it was one of the most amazing and rewarding adventures of my life, made possible by the Bio Bio team who made it so special. I always felt that we were in good hands. I highly recommend Bio Bio and look forward to my next adventure with them!
Upon arrival at the airport the friendly staff transferred us to the beautiful Serena Arusha Lodge. We enjoyed wildlife viewing, including an up-close walking safari at nearby Arusha National Park. Climbing Kilimanjaro, the highest peak on the continent, is a reasonable goal for an active person. The high altitude is difficult so listen to the guides, they are excellent. Bio Bio Expeditions takes care of everything. Kili was beautiful, an otherworldly landscape. The safaris included the best parks of East Africa, Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater, with high-end safari lodges and great guides in uncrowded land rovers. We saw the Big Five and thousands more abundant wildlife. The guides were kind, thoughtful, friendly and knowledgeable. Bio Bio is the BEST!!!
