AFRICAN SCENIC SAFARIS

It’s been 8 months already and I still think about our recent trip with African Scenic Safaris nearly every day. Everyone we interacted with was warm, professional, and we highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to visit Tanzania. I'm still going through photos (hence my delay posting) but I couldn't wait any longer to post!

Kili Climb:
We opted for an 8 day Lemosho private climb up Kili after discussing some options with Nembris (who responded quickly, and offered excellent advice). Our mountain guide, Godwin Regan, was really the best of the best. My husband had some lingering nausea from travel, jet lag, and malarone, and Godwin quickly ensured there was ginger for the entire climb. He worked with Amin, our camping manager, to ensure our camp was along the edge of the group for more privacy and better views! On summit night, he kept us moving at a stretch pace, and prepared us for infrequent stops so that we could keep momentum and make it to the summit. Our assistant guide, Maneno, was also really professional, knew so much about the mountain, and entertained us with Swahili lessons during our daily hikes. They both were always ready to lend a hand and the full team was dedicated to our safety. We were also very happy with our decision to take a private climb as we were more able to get to know our full crew. We even got cooking demos from our chef, Lazaro (all of the food was so delicious - especially the banana stew!). There were no issues accommodating our dietary restrictions (no meat), needless to say. We are so appreciative of the full crew: Isaac, Grayson, Luich, Joram, Jonathan, Basilisa, Frank, Simon, Domas, Gastro. Tip your porters well!

Safari :
Following the exhilarating Kilimanjaro climb, we embarked on an 8-day safari with Grayson as our guide, and it was a dream come true. From the cheetahs and leopards in Ndutu Conservation Area to the captivating Serengeti, where we observed the entire park and even witnessed lions on the hunt, it was a wildlife extravaganza. We rounded off our safari with Ngorongoro Crater, where we spotted rhinos, and Tarangire. In hindsight, we might have spent one less night in the Serengeti and an extra day at the Crater, but our overall trip was pretty close to perfection.

Miscellaneous other tips: Spend a day resting to tackle jet lag upon landing. Investing in fleece liners for your sleeping bag is a smart move, especially as temperatures drop quickly in Shira Crater. Remember to open your water bottle before starting your hike from the base camp to release pressure and ensure easier water access at the top.

TLDR: spend your money where it will go directly into the local economy. Book your trip with A. Scenic today!!!

Voyage extraordinaire et mémorable!!
Merci à Albin qui a pris du temps pour répondre à toutes nos attentes et envies!

Merci encore et je recommande les yeux fermés African Scenic Safaris

GENIAL !!
Nous avons passé une semaine inoubliable en safari en famille avec Jackson comme guide interprete et Gilbert guide chauffeur. Tres bonne organisation, les sites sont respectueux de la nature et très accueillant.
Nos deux guides sont géniaux, nous avons beaucoup partagé avec eux. Nous sommes repartis des images de paysages et d'animaux plein la tete et comblés par cette rencontre.
Merci African scenic et merci Jackson et Gilbert !!

Did Kili and camping safari. African Scenic Safaris was great all the way. Trip of a lifetime!

Went on a 1 week Safari with African Scenic: everything was perfect. From the recommendations / advice given during the planning phase to the actual Safari.
They were originally recommended to me by a friend who travelled with them over 10 years ago and I'm happy to report they're still going strong.
I highly recommend them.
