Amazing experience and I would definitely do it again :)
I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Karis Expeditions on a 6-day adventure that combined an exhilarating safari with a relaxing beach escape to Zanzibar, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience!
My journey began in Arusha, where I stayed at a luxurious 5-star hotel arranged by Karis Expeditions. The next morning, we set off for Tarangire National Park, known for its iconic baobab trees and large elephant herds. The game drive was nothing short of breathtaking, with stunning wildlife and picturesque landscapes.
From Tarangire, we traveled to the Serengeti, a place that truly lives up to its reputation as one of the world’s most spectacular safari destinations. The abundance of wildlife, especially during the golden hours of sunset, was magical.
Our next stop was the Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wonder that left me in awe. The crater’s unique ecosystem made it an unforgettable part of the trip, with close encounters with rhinos, lions, and flamingos.
Returning to Arusha, I ended the safari portion of my trip with a delightful dinner at Fifi’s Restaurant, conveniently located in the heart of town. The atmosphere was cozy, and the food was delicious—an excellent way to unwind after days of adventure.
The next day, I flew to Zanzibar, and Karis Expeditions seamlessly organized my entire experience there. The pristine beaches, turquoise waters, and laid-back island vibes were the perfect contrast to the thrilling safari.
Karis Expeditions went above and beyond to ensure every detail of my trip was perfect. From the accommodations and transportation to the knowledgeable guides and personalized service, everything was executed with precision and care.
I highly recommend Karis Expeditions for anyone looking to explore the best of Tanzania’s wilderness and its stunning coastline. It was a dream journey that I’ll cherish forever!

Karis Safaris was the best choice I made!
Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro had always been a dream of mine, and Karis Expeditions made it an incredible reality! I chose the Machame Route for its scenic beauty, and over the course of six unforgettable days.
The journey began with a warm welcome from the Karis Expeditions team. From the first briefing, I felt reassured by their professionalism. The guides were not only highly experienced but also incredibly supportive, motivating us every step of the way. Each day was carefully paced to allow for proper acclimatization.
The highlight, of course, was summit day. Starting at midnight with headlamps lighting the way, we slowly made our way up to Uhuru Peak. The final push was demanding, but standing at the peak of Mt Kilimanjaro as the sun rose was a moment of triumph.
The crew’s dedication made a huge difference. The porters were amazing, carrying our gear with ease and setting up camp long before we arrived. The chef prepared hearty meals that kept us energized throughout the climb—think warm soups, pasta, and even fresh fruits at high altitudes!
My trip with Karis Expedition was the best because they went above and beyond to make the climb safe and unforgettable.
If you’re considering climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, I recommend Karis Expeditions. Their expertise and warm hospitality made this adventure the experience of a lifetime!

A once in a life time journey
Our 6 Days Safari + Zanzibar Beach trip with Karis Expeditions was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, the whole journey was seamless and exciting. The safari was an adventure I’ll never forget. We saw so many animals in their natural habitat, and the guides knew exactly where to go to ensure we didn’t miss anything.
Zanzibar was the perfect way to unwind after the intensity of the safari. The beaches were stunning, and we were able to explore Stone Town, which was a fantastic cultural experience. The resort we stayed at was gorgeous, with great amenities and a relaxing atmosphere.
Karis Expeditions went above and beyond in terms of service, and I felt well taken care of at every step. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a thrilling safari and a beautiful beach vacation combined!

We loved Ngorongoro
We had a day trip to Ngorongoro with Karis Expeditions around September. We were coming from Dar es Salaam with my wife and son and we had a warm welcome from our lovely guide, Kantona. Next, we drove to our Hotel (Four Points by Sheraton) where we were brief on the next days trip to the crater.
We left Arusha on the next day at around 5:30am and made our way to Karatu then the crater. The view was breathtaking! Our guide was extremely helpful and very patient with us. He managed to answer all of our questions as it had been our first time ever visiting the crater. Our lunch boxes were very delicious and we drove back to the hotel to unwind from a fun filled day.
When you book with Karis Expeditions, be sure to ask for Kantona.

An amazing experience with great tour guiding
I booked with Karis to go on a daytrip to Tarangire National Park. I have to say I had such a good day. The tourguide was even more excited than I was I think. So enthusiastic to share everything there was to see, even before we arrived at the park. Lots of knowledge on nature and its animals. The atmosphere was so relaxed and fun, that unfortunately the day was over before I knew it. The guide Kantona is your guy if you want to have an enjoyable and positive time.
