Day 1
Our driver-guide will meet you at the designated place and give you a short briefing before you are driven west to the East African Great Rift Valley and Lake Manyara National Park. You will drive through the agricultural and fresh produce market town of Mto Wa Mbu, which is situated next to the entrance of Lake Manyara National Park. The town is a souvenir hunter's paradise where thousands of salesmen are ready to sell their ware at your slightest invitation.
With a picnic lunch in hand, you will enter Lake Manyara National Park for a full-day game drive in the park in search of the tree-climbing lions. The game drive takes you until late afternoon when you head back to Arusha to be dropped off at the place of your choice or transferred to Kilimanjaro Airport. This is where your safari will end.

Excellent service, affordable price, highly recommended!
As it was our first time to travel to Tanzania, it was a bit overwhelming to even start planning a 15 day trip to the country - starting from Dar Es Salaam to Moshi and Arusha then Zanzibar and back to Dar. Through a friend's personal...

Mixed feelings
I had a great time in Tanzania, but I am somewhat disappointed that I cannot "rave" about the services offered by Kili Serengeti guides. Perhaps it is because I had just come from Kenya with an outstanding guide, so it was natural to make...

Amazing 2 days safari in Tarangire and Manyara lake
As young travellers, we couldn't afford luxury safaris but we desperately wanted to experience one during our trip in Tanzania. We were at first suspicious because of the many stories of tourists scams and - paradoxically - because of the...

Got lost looking for the short cut to Northern Serengeti but the experience was one of a kind
