Itinerary
Arusha National Park
This is the best day for you to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Enjoy complimentary hotel pick up early in the morning or mid-day depending with what time you want to start your tour. After a brief introduction, enjoy a ride in a 4*4 landcruiser for about 40 minutes and enter this famous National park. The park is just a few kilometers north east of Arusha, though the main gate is 25 km east of the city and 35 km from Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA). Arusha National Park has a rich variety of wildlife. Despite the small size of the park, common animals include giraffe, Cape buffalo, zebra, warthog, the black-and-white Columbus monkey, the blue monkey, flamingo, elephant, lion and many other African animals. Leopard populations are present, but rarely seen. Bird life in the forest is prolific, with many forest species more easily seen here than elsewhere on the tourist route - Narina trogon and bar-tailed trogon are both possible highlights for visiting birders, whilst the range of starling species provide somewhat less gaudy interest. After 4 hours of professional guided tour, and after viewing as many wildlife as possible, it’s time to leave the park for Arusha town or Airport.

Amboseli and Tsavo Combination
Combining Amboseli and Tsavo gave us two very different safari experiences. The wildlife were magnificent, and the sceney kept adjusting. The team made the journey easier to make it best of all

Worth it
Our seven-day summer adventure involved more people than the average holiday, but the preparation remained manageable. The team was attentive and helped us get the important pieces sorted without last minute delaying. All bookings, hotel and parks on their own timings.

Social Media Led Me To An Unexpected Adventure
This trip happened almost by accident. I was at home browsing social media when I saw this company and became curious about their trips. After asking a few questions, I decided to give them a try and booked a 3-day adventure. The experience gave me a completely different rhythm from my usual days at home. I enjoyed watching the weather change along the road and having conversations with our guide. There was a genuine feeling of togetherness during the journey. Three days passed quickly, and I came back feeling mentally lighter.

Something different
I have done several trips in my holiday breaks, but this one had its own character. Some of the moments were completely spontaneous, which actually made them more enjoyable.The actual experience was even better because we had good company and plenty of interesting things to see.
Operator response

Beware.
The tour said "hotel or airport pickup" and I applied because there was Kilimanjaro International Airport on the list of pickup locations, but Kilimanjaro International Airport paid $80 in cash because it required an additional fee. Also, when I got the appointment time of 7am, they didn't pick me up, and when I contacted them, they said they hadn't heard from Vaitor, so they picked me up more than 40 minutes late.
