A great 3 days I had with signature safari. Everybody; guide, cook, porters were simply lovely and key to summit. The food prepared by your personal chef will be delicious I would choose them again The trek is beautiful but can be strenuous for some if done in 3 days rather than four

Innocent was very kind and very helpfull to organise our trip!!! We did the mount meru and a safari and everything was totaly perfect !! We strongly recommande signature safari for their professionnalism and their kindness.
The 3-day Meru hike with Signature Safaris was excellent. Our lead guide, Samuel, was really knowledgeable, took care to ensure we were hiking at a safe pace and pointed out lots of wildlife. Our porters were really helpful and friendly and the chef's food was great (expect huge portions!). I'd highly recommend the company. For Meru itself, 3 days is a challenge because the last day may require 12-16 hrs hiking in total. Thankfully, Samuel arranged a lift for us from a higher camp to shorten the trek that day. Id recommend it for fit hikers, especially those who aren't scared of heights (I struggled with the final ascent!). It's all worth it for the great scenery and views of Kilimanjaro.
I was beyond thrilled with the service…looh signature safari I was beyond thrilled with the service I received from the signature safari When I looked around and compared what other people undertaking similar activities, I always felt I had the best situations: the best guides, the best vehicles, the best accommodations, the best circumstances overall. I would absolutely recommend the signature safari, and I expect to be a repeat customer, thanks all team
I met Innocent from Signature Safari’s and he recommended to go climbing mountain Meru. I am not a climber at all, but based on his information I decided to give it a try. It was really hard but the excellent guides helped me through. The mind is number one in climbing the mountain. The food was excellent and the team consisting of porters, a cook, two guides did everything to support us and reach the summit and come safely back to the gate. I felt the altitude, but it helped for sure that we climbed little Meru on day 2. The communication with Signature Safaris is good and I always get immediate answers to my questions. I recommend organizing trips via them!
