Kilimanaro Trek and Serengeti Safari - December 2015
We have just returned from an excellent trip to Tanzania which was organized for us by Tanzania Explorer. Six members of our family enjoyed a successful summit trek on Kilimanjaro consisting of 7 days on the Rongai route, followed by a four day safari in Serengeti National Park. The entire trip was planned for us from the time we arrived at the Kilimanjaro Airport until we departed two weeks later. All transportation was well arranged, our lodging accommodations were great, and we had great guides for both the Trek and Safari. With all of the preparatory information sent to us from Tanzania Explorer, we were well prepared for the trip, and all of our expectations were met or exceeded! This was truly a trip of a lifetime! Thanks Tanzania Explorers for an excellent adventure in Tanzania!

Best chance at seeing a rhino
The crater is a must-see destination for it's overall beauty and number of animals in such a compact location. But more importantly, it is your best chance at seeing the black rhino in the wild. We saw two of the 20+ rhinos that reside in the crater. Compared to the Serengeti, where we saw none, this is your best chance. Another interesting surprise is the Maasai herding cattle in the crater. It is quite a contrast to see the wild herd animals aside the cattle.

Three Days to Remember.
Having visited Tsavo East National Park in 1992 I always vowed to bring my wife to the park and experience the wildlife, scenery and hospitality that the staff at the lodges offer. We were not disappointed all the lodges we stayed in were superb and our guide who we booked with JT Safaris was exceptional.

Exceeded my expectations with the variety of wildlife, including jaguar, lions, rhinos, & hippos
I went on two game drives--one in the evening and another early in the morning. If you have a choice I would recommend the morning drive as you are much more likely to see a pride or two. The guides were both humorous and knowledgeable (and well connected with others around the park who had spotted other wildlife) and the transportation comfortable, with a stop for bio-breaks, food, & souvenir shopping midway through the drive. As expected, we encountered many elephants, rhinos, hippos, gazelle, etc. But I was delighted to encounter the lions and to spot two jaguar. An unforgettable and strongly recommended day trip from the strange colony that is Sun City.

Combine the crater with the Serengeti and you really see incredible variety of animals and a good chance viewing all of the big 5.

Review about Kenya by MARK R
If you are patience and are prepared to get up early in the mornings you will boast you chances of spotting wildlife.

4 day safari
Just before Christmas, we went for a four-day safari with Northern Circuit. It was a perfect experience. We flew to Kilimanjaro airport, where some-one was waiting for us. In Arusha, Michael told us how everything was going to work. We had a jeep for the five of us, with our own cook and driver. The food we had there, was the best during our whole stay in Tanzania. We slept two days in tented camps (perfect accomodation, you have your own bed, toilet and shower per tent) and two days in smalll tents, in the middle of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro. We saw the big five and a lot more (big migration). We felt very comfortable. Northern Circuit Adventure is very much recommended by me. Michael responds very quick at questions send to him by mail. He is nice guy. The safari was very good value for money.

Fantastic service and knowledge
From the moment I was met at the airport by Sylvester and Nicholas, to when Nicholas and I returned to Nairobi, I have nothing but good things to say about this company. The communication leading up to when I arrived in Kenya was excellent - and often was just checking that there was nothing more that I wanted to know. Once on safari itself (we did four national parks/reserves), Nicholas couldn't have been more helpful as a driver/guide. His knowledge of animals, plant life and birds is extraordinary. I especially liked that he talked to other drivers on the CB to find out which spots were 'hot' with animals to see. He even pulled an Africanised Bee stinger out of my back - that definitely is going beyond the call of duty. I'd use these guys again in a heartbeat.
