Stunning Meru Wildlife and Trekking
David L. · New Zealand · 10 Dec 2025

Just returned from a 5-day trip focusing on the Mount Meru Wildlife and Trekking Experience. It was absolutely phenomenal! The trek was invigorating, with breathtaking views of Kilimanjaro in the distance on clear days. What truly impressed me was the wildlife density within the park – we saw elephants, giraffes, and numerous bird species right from the trails. The trekking guides were fantastic, sharing their knowledge of the ecosystem. It’s a gem that’s often overlooked in favor of Kilimanjaro, but offers a unique and rewarding adventure. Highly recommend for nature lovers!

Great Northern Circuit Experience
David R. · Canada · 13 May 2026

The 6 Days Northern Circuit Safari was a fantastic way to see Tanzania's highlights. We explored Tarangire, Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and a bit of Serengeti. The wildlife viewing was excellent throughout, especially in the Crater. Our guide was very skilled at spotting animals. While everything was well-organized, we felt the pace could have been a little more relaxed in some areas. Still, a very worthwhile trip for seeing so much diverse wildlife. Looking forward to booking again for 2026!
