This was more than we expect and we all appreciate Boker Adventures for their hospitality since first day. When I came across Boker Adventures in trip advisor I did not notice if that was real until I started to talk to Peter (director) via email and change to whatsapp later and felt his concern about us.We were four of us and each of us started to check different companies in Tanzania for Mt Kilimanjaro climbing. Honestly its confusing because each of us come with a number of operators of which all of them offer the same activity. Good thing is each of us come across Boker Adventures reviews when we were doing research and decide to vote for it, Hahahaa it was funny but really this was the right choice we made.I take the responsibility of email Boker Adventures and the response was so fast than I was thinking and it was really in a professional way.Each details provided with Peter were helpful and basing on the reality. The price he gave us was very okay and he actually gave us a reason for his price. We all deposit the money for confirming our trip. Something we notice about Peter is that he is not after money because the amount he asked us to deposit for confirmation was actually very small compared to other operator and he actually give us an option of coming with the rest of the money by cash of which to us was a good option.When we arrived in Airport tour guides were waiting for us at the Airport to take us to the hotel for a briefing. They went through our gear to make sure we had everything that we needed and rented the equipment that we didnt have.The guides on the mountain were very knowledgeable and friendly. The were singing for us Swahili songs all the way up especially when we step at each camp, the interpretations for the songs was really nice and words ware basing on encouraging us. All of us summit 06:30 am. You dont wish any one to tell you about this experience up there, We took a lot of pictures which with beautiful sunrise. We took our Kilimanjaro Beer on top hahahaa, it was amazing for real.On the mountain the food was great, the porters very friendly and happy and our guides almost made us forget that we were supposed to be exhausted climbing the highest mountain in Africa.- Porters provide hot water and soap for washing twice each day: first thing in the morning after they knock on your tent to wake you up, and then as soon as you reach the camp where you will be sleeping for the night.After trip they also helped us with arranging how to get to our next destination in Zanzibar for next four days.We will definitely recommend everyone (in alright shape!) to do the trek and if you havent decided yet, go with Boker Adventures!Thanks Peter

It was a wonderful experience with Boker Adventures.We never knew if we could manage but through Boker adventure team everything was perfect.We kept in-touch with Peter since 2017 for climbing this year December 2018. He was very helpful and supportive, anytime we needed him was available. We knew him through a recommendation from a friend who climb with Boker Adventure and from there everything was moving on smart.The guides were free-minded and flexible, they knew a lot about mt Kilimanjaro vegetation and land forms. It was advantage to us since all my friends are geologist so we learnt a lot. The food was enough delicious, my appreciation to cook who never wanted to see us complaining. Porters were the most important people up there, they carried a lot to the mountain and always make sure everything was already before we arrived at the camp. We were wondering how these was possible but we truly appreciate Boker Adventures team for this.The hotel we slept in town before and after was very nice, Quit that makes us to have a very nice sleep before and after the climb. Thank you Peter also for change our flight date when we ask you because we wanted to visit Zanzibar too and we did not book in advance but good thing with you is you always have plan B. Zanzibar was another good experience especially in Nungwi.We promise you to be a good ambassador to other people who will be interested to come to Tanzania. Pass our regards to your team.Thanks.Chris

We have a number of reason that makes us to choose Boker Adventures for our adventure 2019 April. My group trust me and allow me to research a company for doing Safari and Mt Kilimanjaro climbing. It was hard for me but i do my best to come till i come up with this company Boker Adventure who i realize at the end of the day they were not after money instead after care, good consultant and active in every aspect.We planned to do 5 days mid range safari and 7 days climb via machame route and Peter organize very well for us. He was always give me prompt answers and he never get tired to reply my emails with bulk of questions. What he needs is me to satisfy before making any decisions. I shared with my group of 6 people and all accept and gave me go ahead for proceed with payment for our adventure with Boker Adventure.We arrived afternoon and Peter (director) was there at the airport with his team already on time to pick us. We went to Arusha because we wanted to start with safari on the next day. Our guide was giving us briefing while we were on the way to arusha so we were feel free as we are home. He told us everything that we will go to experience in the wildlife including national parks that we will visit which was Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.Next day two jeep came to take us from the hotel and starts our safari to Tarangire, we saw a lot of elephants, Antelopes and zebras, the most part we like about safari is Serengeti national park. Here we saw all big fives and my favorite animal Cheetah. ngorongoro was amazing with wonderful crater view and weather. The guide was so fun and knowledgeable and the Jeep were very comfortable.After safari on the 5th day we went Moshi were we catch up with guides for mt Kilimanjaro climbing and they gave us briefing as normal including check our climbing equipment. We start climbing immediately next day, the crew was really amazing funny, working hard to make sure we reach the summit. Food was really testy and enough. I like the way crew were treated with Boker Adventures team, They were getting all meal like us, i say this because we saw other crew from other companies struggling a lot. Our guides, Mudi, Salim, and David were really helpful.I highly recommend Boker Adventures for safari and mt Kilimanjaro climbing. Thank you Peter and your Team, you are such an amazing friend.Cheers

We are not trying to exaggerate but the fact is we explain what we experienced from this local company Boker Adventures owned by local Person {Peter} who has his own unbelievable heart. Its true when you start to organised trekking you will get confused because there are thousand of companies offering the same service and sometimes have same itinerary, it doesnt matter the company is owned by foreigner or local guy. The only difference you will experience is difference in price, of which when it comes to service i think everyone need the best service, safety, solidarity, kindness and availability of assistant when is needed. All this we received from Boker Adventure and it was more than what we expect.We were six in numbers and we all decide to choice Machame route 7 days and we are so pleased to thanks the whole crew started with Peter who facilitate and assist us to reach the summit of mt Kilimanjaro. The guides in our group were charming, cleaver and knowledgeable. The always play their part very hard to make sure everything is under control. The best swahili songs they sang to us was very nice and sound very courage. Back to our chef cook, this guy is fantastic and amazing, we had a lot up there and i was not even expecting to eat to much and delicious food on the mountain. Porters are people to acknowledge the most because of the load they carry up there, To me it was a miracle to see a porter taking 20 kg of staffs without inducing his own bag, honestly you must tip the crew very well without complain because what this people are doing up there its really amazing no matter they get paid with their bossAfter the climb we asked Peter to help us organizing a Masai tour and we really happy to see Masai on their culture and norm.I and my time truly appreciate Peter and his crew from Boker Adventures. We will be your good ambassador here in Norway.thanks

No complain or doubt about this company. There service since the first day was marvelous and totally impressive of which i believe you will feel the value of your saving for adventure with them. Boker Adventures team they are basing on professionalism and hand to hand care which makes us felt like one family.The Director Peter was there at the airport with guides to pick all of us as we were 7 people. We drive to the hotel at Salinero in Moshi town were we had over night. On the way Peter was really charming and friendly of which everyone in my group was so wondering as we never thought if a boss can came to pick us at the airport. Soon after arrived at the hotel we were indicated to our rooms and later ready for the briefing. Our Guides Raphael, Nicolus, David feed us with a lot of strong information like what to do up mountain, the food menu, whether and so many other important thing, after that they checked our climbing gears and we were provide from the rentals few missed staffs.Next day we started our climb via Machame route 7 days. The first day it was really raining but we manage to get on the first camp, Our guides told us clearly the whether could change at any time so we were ready for that. The second day it was okay though really cold but it went very well from there. The hard experience was the last day to reach the summit, we slept very few hours and it was cold to negative 15 almost, we struggle indeed but we never gave up as our guides were encourage us with strong word POLEPOLE HAKUNA MATATA sounds funny but it was very nice moment. we summit all of us at 06;20 am taking good photos and start descending down. Our special thanks to the guides who makes us reach our dream. Your knowledge was so nice.Crew is the best organ Boker Adventure have, without them we could not managed to reach at the peak. Much appreciation for the crew as they were supportive, care and friendly. The cook was talented and provide us with fresh food everyday.Peter you did a very nice job to organize for us our climb. We will be your ambassador to every person in Australia.ThanksJulieth

SUCCESSFUL 7 DAYS MACHAME CLIMB WITH BOKER ADVENTURESPeter the owner of the company always replied very fast, detailed to my many questions via email. Because we were traveling in East Africa and only decided to climb Kilimanjaro 7 days via machame route on short notice, his quick, welcoming and uncomplicated style was very helpful.I had injured my knee a few days before. But Peter was very flexible and it was no problem at all to shift our scheduled departure day even the day before we left.The day before we left we were introduced to our three guides (Jonah, mudi and David) plus our cook (abbas). They gave us a short briefing and checked our gear and supplied us with anything that was missing - which in our case was a lot. All of the gear we got from Boker Adventures (poles, backpacks, camel backs, summit jacket, pants, hat, gloves, sleeping bags, etc.) was in very good condition and fulfilled its purpose to our fullest satisfaction.What stood out for me in this trip - apart from the stunning scenery - was the groove of our crew! Mudi- our head guide and also a former porter - knows exactly how demanding the work of the crew (porters, cook, guides) is and you can really tell that he wants the best for them as well as for his clients. It fulfilled me with great joy and relief to see that Mudi (on our trip) and Peter (in general) take good care of their employees. Their former experience on the lower end of the crew definitely helps them being good and respectful leaders in what they do.I would highly recommend booking your Kilimanjaro-trip with Boker Adventures if you’re looking for a sincere, local, honest and fun company that will bring you safely to the top and back! :)Thanks Peter

This was the best trip in my entire life. At first we heard a lot about Tanzania. Other they talk negative but honestly Tanzania is the place to go over and over for tourism. People are nice, friendly and supportive.We search in trip advisor and found Boker Adventures and some of the operators but Peter the director was very helpful with comprehensive answers. He always reply on time friendly and always gave us chance to ask him more questions over and over. The negotions we had was super impressive, we had different options for climbing and safari but peter make it easy for us and led us to the decision.On arrival peter was there at the airport and we go straight to take lunch and later evening the guide came for briefing and check with our climbing gears, some of them we went straight away to rent.The next day the crew came to pick us at the hotel amd drive to the starting point at londolosi (lemosho) gate were our guides and crew did paper work. Because it was afternoon our chef provide us with lunch box and soon we started climb. It went very well and we enjoyed the slogan of Pole pole, this say made us feel the trek including the songs the sang to use. The guides were very supportive and courages. Food was delicios and a lot. Porters help us with our bags and were working hard up there, it was a very hard task to them but it seem they were in use of it.After climb we went to Ngorongoro crater, serengeti, and tarangire national park. We were lucky enough to see all big five near our eyes, the guide for safari was genious, he knew everything including birds amd plants.We highly recommend Boker Adventures for climbing and safari.This guys are the best.Thanks Peter, i realy dont know how can weexplain but we appriciate.Thanks

I have all reason to appriciate Boker Adventure team for there kindness and caring heart they show us since day one when we started climbing Mt Kilimanjaro via Machame route. We were 5 of us and no one was expecting to summit because of whether but Boker Adventures team makes us feel powerful and strong enough. if some one lie to you about mt kilimanjaro climbing that is easy, my friend nothing is easy up there, you just have to lisdtern to your guide prperly and make sure you follow what he told you otherwise you wont summit.I apprcioate how Peter organised his team. It impress us very well since day one when we arrive with KLM flight. Peter come at the airport with his guide and we found him ontime at the airtport, of course i did not expect to be picked with the Director but he came him self. Peter this is the most important thing and you shoulddoing that several time when you are free.All of us accepting climbing Machame route 7 days after we seek advise from Peter. The Guides were very experienced and they were couple of answering all questions we rised while climbing. One of my friend even forget to take Diamoxe but the guide gave him before climb. What i realised is that boker crew are all trained and are working on the strong spirit.The foodup there was very okay and i cant complain. My father climbed many years ago and told us the food will not be delicious but to us it was different experience. The food was super Delicious and enough. I never stay with out eating in even a single day.Peter he told us about hopw to tip the crew, to us we addmore because the work this people aredoingup there is marvelous. please make sure you tip this people very well, i thinkafter you climb you will understand why is important to tip crew.I have a lot to share but this is just some of the best things. We highly recomend Boker Adventure with his team.Cheers Peter

I’m solo Traveller and happy to meet Peter the director of Boker Adventure who played his part to make sure i reach to the top of mt kilimanjaro.The service provided with this team is super brilliant which everyone cant stop to think about it. I like the way they respond to customers, you have the test of your own.I arrived JRO 26th dec and started trek on the next day via Machame 7days. I booked private because i wanted to get enough time to take beautiful photos as I’m a professional photographer. Every moment up there was marvelous, the support i got from the crew was the best, i felt like having a new family on the new world, every particular person up there were nice,communicative, social, friendly in-fact no word can describe them.Professionalisms is what i saw in Boker Adventures team, I realized this since we started kept in-touch with Peter and to the guides, cook, waiters and porters.I take very nice photo for my blog but without Boker Team I couldn’t manage this, I appreciate you guys for your support and kindness heart you shown to me. I will always recommend you to everyone who is interested to climb mt Kilimanjaro.See you next season Peter. You are such a good person.Thanks

LEADING LOCAL TOUR OPERATOR IN TANZANIA ( BOKER ADVENTURES)We are leaving in England and Peter the Director of Boker adventures is our best Tour Operator, he never disappoint us since we started work with him for Mt Kilimanjaro Climbing, Safari and Zanzibar Tour. This is my fourth group of 10 people came and reach safe to the roof of Africa Mt Kilimanjaro via Lemosho route.In 2017 i came with my son David and we climb via Machame route, since that day i promised Peter to bring him with more people for climbing and safari including zanzibar in particular. This is because of the service we got from his company starting from him, guides, cook, porters, the nature of accommodations and transport he use. Good thing with Boker Adventures Team are very organized, infact you cannot felt any gap.Coming back to the Climb we climbed currently, Everything was very okay as usual and what surprised me this time is the consultation peter gave us including the importance of having a travel insurance incase anything happened up there , that we should be rescued with helicopter. This was a very nice approach as last time there was no helicopter but that was okay with us because no one in my group has ever failed to summit.Talking about the crew for climbing, they all gorgeous. the guides, cook and porters were 100% supportive and kind. I never received any complain from my people.After climb we went 6 days safari and visit ngorongoro, serengeti, ndutu and tarangire. The vehicle we use was open roof which gave us a good view, it was a raining but the 4*4 jeep we had gave us extra courage. the guide was very knowledgeable and skillful.Peter and your team i will always come for you, i will still work with you and truly like your performance. i appreciate.Thank you.

I arrived on January 27th with KLM at JRO where i meet Peter at the airport ready to pick me. Its my first experience to be picked with a company Director. Thanks for that peter. We went to the hotel and peter allow me to rest till the next day morning where my guide came to gave me briefing concerned climbing including check my climbing gears.At first when i was listerning to the guide i did not get clearly till i started to climb.The guide was couraging me to not fear the mountain.I was really nervous about it but when i reach at Lemosho gate my mind simply trust that i will gone to make it.We started the climb 28th Jan for 8 days. I opt to climb alone bacause i was not sure if i could reach top of mt kilimanjaro.Thank you David and Joe(Guides) for the strong heart you inject to me,without you guys i really dont know if i could manage.The food was very okay with me though sometimes i was losing appitite but honestly the cool was doing whatever he can to make sure my stomach is full. The whole crew was amazing no complain about that. What i leant up there is there some few companies up there were not treating their porters well but to Boker Adventures was 100% fair, every person in the crew were very happy with smile face.I highly recommend Boker Adventures for the best service for mt Kilimanjaro cmlimbingThanks Peter.

I planned this trip since 2016 and matured 2019 january 03. It take as so long to organize this because of the nature of work im working. Its not a big deal, i paid for this trip since 2016 December and Peter was very honest with me since i trusted him. Thank you peter.I opt for this route after i seek advice from Peter concerning best route for scenic. He told me this is the best and i got no doubt with his option. This was the best moment in my life and i enjoyed every single moment since i arrived from airport picked with Peter young director hahahaha.... you are the best.The guides were very perfect and amazing because they know everything about mt kilimanjaro, Raphael and Daudi were the best guide. Porters up there were super strong, i was wondering how they were organize themselves in all ways. On food really i cant talk because i ate more than i thought.I chosen to trek private because i wanted to get perfect picture for my life, all in all Boker Adventures are the best and i will come soon for safari but wont stop to share my experience with other people around who are interested with climb.Thanks Peter and pass my regards to your crew.Thanks
