Mtwara Exceeded Expectations!
Sarah L. · Canada · 20 Feb 2026

We spent 4 Days in Mtwara and were so impressed by the natural beauty and friendly locals. The itinerary Top Guide Adventures put together was excellent, covering everything from the beaches to local markets and even some inland scenery. It felt authentic and off-the-beaten-path, which is exactly what we were looking for. The arrangements were seamless, and our guide was fantastic company. Looking forward to potentially revisiting in 2026 for a longer stay.

Great Group Climb on Mount Meru!
Ben K. · Canada · 28 Jan 2026

Had an amazing time on the 4 Days Mount Meru Group Joining Climb a few weeks ago! It was my first time doing a multi-day trek, and the group atmosphere was fantastic. Our guide was brilliant, very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, and kept everyone's spirits high. The views from the summit were spectacular, offering a different perspective than Kilimanjaro but equally stunning. A challenging but manageable trek, perfect for getting into shape for bigger climbs or just enjoying the beauty of Meru. Highly recommended for solo travelers looking for camaraderie.

A Touching Visit to Prison Island
Maria S. · Argentina · 13 Nov 2025

The 1 Day Prison Island tour offered a fascinating mix of history and natural beauty. Seeing the giant tortoises was incredible, and the old prison ruins have a poignant story. We enjoyed the walk around the island and the chance to snorkel in the clear waters nearby. It's a popular spot, so it can get busy, but our guide managed it well. A good half-day or full-day excursion depending on how much time you want to spend relaxing on the beach. We are planning our next visit for 2026.
