Avoid Collins Safaris LTD

This company gave us a really bad safari. After building a good case they agreed to give us another safari at half price. They screwed that up too. I really recommend finding another operator in Moshi if you choose to do a safari in the Northern Circuit. Or, find a reliable one in Arusha. These guys were really disappointing.
They also do treks on Mnt. Kili. If they treat their clients on the mountain as badly as they treated us on the safari, choose another!

Unique Suggestions: Late - they can never seem to leave on time
Inadequate Equipment - 7 blown tires in 3 days
Poor Communication - Never keep in touch with clients to inform schedule change
Itinerary Changes - Constantly change to self serve and save money
Last Day Confusion - Leave clients hanging on last day logistics and transport (we got stuck taking a local bus back to Arusha; a 45 seater with 90 people crammed on)
Never Take Responsibility of Problems or Inadequacies
Don't Follow Through on Promises

Fun Alternatives: We had good reports of Tanganika Safaris based in Moshi

Moshi

 Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is the main reason for most visitors to this region. Moshi has a few places selling treks up Kilimanjaro though nothing like the madness of Arusha!
