His goal: give international climbers an authentic, safe, and life-changing experience — without the agency markup. When you message ETA, you message Martin directly.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Explore Trekking Adventures and Martin’s entire team. From start to finish, this was one of the most incredible and a life-changing experience. Climbing Kilimanjaro is no small undertaking, and the professionalism, knowledge, and preparation of this team were evident every single day. They were extraordinarily organized, safety-focused, and deeply experienced. I always felt supported and confident in their guidance. Their expertise on the mountain — from pacing and acclimatization to encouragement on summit night — made all the difference. Beyond their skill and professionalism, what truly sets this company apart is the people. The entire team was patient, kind, and unbelievably fun. They created an atmosphere of camaraderie and positivity that carried us through every challenge. There was constant encouragement, laughter, and genuine care. They were invested in our success and well-being in a way that went far beyond expectations. Martin leads an exceptional group. His integrity, leadership, and attention to detail are reflected in every member of the crew. You can tell this is not just a business...it’s something they deeply believe in. Whether you are planning to climb Kilimanjaro or go on safari in Tanzania, I would recommend Explore Trekking Adventures without hesitation. They will always be my go-to team in Tanzania. Five stars are not enough.Posted on Jessica RVerified January Mt. Kilimanjaro Trek via Machame Route I had an amazing experience with Explore Trekking Adventures on a climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Their team was nothing but amazing, from working out last minute travel logistics to caring for us on the mountain. Martin and his team are truly an exceptional group. I will absolutely be coming back to book one of their safari trips!Posted on Benjamin VVerified Une Equipe exceptionnelle pour une grande Expérience avec Explore Trekking Adventure Avec Martin aux commandes d'Explore Trekking Adventure, il s'agit d'une excellente option pour réaliser l'ascension du Kilimandjaro et tout autres activités en Tanzanie. Nous avons pu, par la voie Umbwe, rejoindre le sommet du Kili en 6 jours ; chaque jours aura été remarquable grâce à un accompagnement exceptionnel : porteurs, chef de cuisine, serveur, guides diplômés ... C'était une aventure humaine avec une équipe rigoureuse et expérimentée dont le seul objectif et de vous faire vivre une belle expérience coaching, suivi santé, .... La force de Martin, à travers son parcours dans l'éducation autour du tourisme en Tanzanie est sa capacité à recruter les bonnes personnes pour constituer une Grande Equipe qui mettra tout en oeuvre pour vous permettre de réaliser votre rêve, en couple, en famille ou avec des amis, dans une ambiance de qualité, loin des expéditions rythmés par le marketing. One team, One Dream ! Un petit conseil : ne préparez pas votre ascension du Kilimandjaro sans prendre contact avec Martin, Explore Trekking Adventure. Bonne préparation et belle aventure !!Posted on gabriel tVerified Amazing, humbling adventure I cannot say enough positive things about this trip. I never anticipated the depth of emotion I experienced during it, continue to feel upon my return, and will likely carry with me for years to come. To imagine such a rich and meaningful collection of experiences compressed into so few days is truly remarkable. The care, confidence, compassion, and competence of Martin and the ETA team were unmatched and absolutely vital to the success of our journey. This was a rare treasure of mind-expanding, challenging, joyful, interesting, and deeply humbling experiences—one I will forever be grateful for. Asante sana, Babu Simba.Posted on Jamie DeFVerified Life changing This adventure was truly life-changing. Martin and the ETA team have a rare gift for blending exceptional skill and safety with genuine heart. I owe every bit of my success to their encouragement, attention to comfort, constant presence, and joyful personalities. Their singing and dancing carried us through even the hardest moments. Reaching the peak was unforgettable, but it cannot compare to the love and sense of safety I felt from those who quite literally carried me there. I will hold this experience with me forever.Posted on Sophia BVerified Telling Everyone I Know about ETA One of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. Martin and his team were excellent, and I could not have successfully made it up the mountain without them (looking at you, Fred!). They provided not only support, but also delicious meals, safe lodging, and good vibes. Hakuna Matata.Load moreTripadvisor rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 59 reviews,showing our latest reviews

Explore Top Tanzania Destinations and Start Planning your Adventure Today
Booking your safari with ETA (Explore Trekking Adventure) ensures a professionally organized, safe, and unforgettable experience across Tanzania’s top wildlife destinations. Our team specializes in personalized itineraries, experienced guides, and seamless logistics from arrival to departure.
We focus on quality service, comfort, and authentic experiences. Whether you are looking for a luxury safari, a budget-friendly tour, or a private wildlife adventure, ETA delivers exceptional value and memorable journeys tailored to your travel style.
Tanzania is home to some of the most iconic safari destinations in the world, including the Serengeti National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater. These landscapes offer unmatched wildlife density and breathtaking scenery.
From the Big Five to the Great Migration, Tanzania provides year-round wildlife viewing. The diversity of ecosystems ensures every safari is unique, making it a top destination for first-time and returning travelers.
ETA offers a wide range of safari packages including luxury safaris, mid-range lodge safaris, camping safaris, and private tailor-made tours. Each itinerary is designed to suit different budgets and travel preferences.
Our safari packages cover top destinations such as Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, and the Serengeti. We ensure the perfect balance of adventure, comfort, and wildlife encounters.
On safari, you can expect to see Africa’s famous Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos. In addition, there are giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, and many antelope species.
Tanzania is also a paradise for bird lovers, with hundreds of bird species across different parks. Every game drive offers new surprises and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
The best time for a Tanzania safari is during the dry season from June to October. Wildlife gathers around water sources, making animals easier to spot, especially in the Serengeti.
However, the green season from November to May offers lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and excellent birdwatching. The calving season in the Serengeti is particularly exciting for predator action.
The Great Migration is one of the world’s most spectacular wildlife events, where millions of wildebeests and zebras move across the Serengeti ecosystem in search of fresh grazing.
This natural cycle includes dramatic river crossings and predator interactions. Witnessing the migration is a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience and a major highlight for visitors.
ETA uses custom-built 4×4 safari vehicles equipped with pop-up roofs for optimal wildlife viewing and photography. These vehicles are designed for comfort on long game drives.
They include charging ports, comfortable seating, and large windows. Reliable vehicles ensure safety and enhance your overall safari experience.
Tanzania is one of the safest safari destinations in Africa, with well-managed national parks and experienced guides. Visitors are always accompanied by professional drivers and guides during game drives.
ETA prioritizes safety by following strict operational standards. By following your guide’s instructions, you can enjoy a secure and stress-free safari.
For a safari, pack lightweight clothing in neutral colors, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen. Neutral tones help you blend into the environment during wildlife viewing.
You should also bring a camera, binoculars, and insect repellent. A light jacket is recommended for early morning and evening game drives.
A typical safari lasts between 3 to 7 days depending on your interests. Short safaris cover nearby parks, while longer trips include the Serengeti for a deeper experience.
Spending more days increases your chances of seeing diverse wildlife and enjoying a relaxed pace. ETA can customize itineraries based on your schedule
Climbing Kilimanjaro is challenging but achievable for most people with good fitness. It is a non-technical climb, meaning no special climbing skills are required.
The main challenge is altitude, as the summit reaches 5,895 meters. Proper acclimatization and pacing are key to a successful climb.
Most Kilimanjaro climbs take between 6 to 9 days depending on the route. Longer routes allow better acclimatization and improve summit success rates.
ETA recommends longer itineraries for a safer and more enjoyable trekking experience. Rushing increases the risk of altitude sickness.
Popular routes include Machame, Lemosho, Marangu, and the Northern Circuit. Each route offers unique scenery and varying levels of difficulty.
The Lemosho and Northern Circuit routes are highly recommended due to their scenic beauty and higher success rates.
No prior climbing experience is required to summit Kilimanjaro. However, good physical fitness and mental preparation are important.
Training with hiking and cardio exercises before your trip will greatly improve your experience and success rate.
Essential gear includes hiking boots, warm clothing, waterproof jackets, gloves, and a sleeping bag. Weather conditions change drastically as you climb.
Layering is important to adapt to temperature changes. ETA provides a full packing list and can assist with gear rental if needed.
Temperatures vary from warm at the base to extremely cold at the summit. Night temperatures can drop to -10°C to -20°C.
Proper gear is essential to stay warm and safe. Dressing in layers helps manage changing conditions.
Altitude sickness occurs when your body struggles to adapt to high altitude. Symptoms include headaches, nausea, and fatigue.
To reduce the risk, climb slowly, stay hydrated, and follow your guide’s advice. Choosing longer routes improves acclimatization.
Yes, all Kilimanjaro climbs require licensed guides by law. Guides ensure your safety, navigation, and overall experience.
They are supported by porters and cooks who manage logistics. This support system allows you to focus fully on the climb.
Meals during the trek are freshly prepared and designed to provide high energy. Typical meals include soups, rice, pasta, vegetables, and fruits.
ETA ensures hygienic food preparation and accommodates dietary needs when requested in advance.
The best times to climb are during the dry seasons from January to March and June to October. These months offer better weather and clearer views.
Climbing during these periods increases your chances of reaching the summit comfortably and safely.
Booking with ETA is simple and convenient. You can contact us directly to customize your itinerary based on your travel dates, budget, and preferences.
