Tanzania Reviews

Tanzania: a lot of adventure! WOW! Where do I begin? Culture shock! Well, some things were better than expected and some things (namely roads) were worse. Our accommodations were better than expected and the food was fantastic. It was the rainiest December they have ever had and this created some unexpected conditions.

Singing Our Way Up Kilimanjaro  We all made it to the summit of Kilimanjaro (19,340ft) after a climb in the dark beginning at 1 AM.

Dominic pulled over to the side of the road so we could stretch our legs and struck up a [...]

Our best four weeks of travel experiences ever! We had what we consider to be our best four weeks of travel experiences ever and we have traveled a lot. Our guide was Joe Sarwatt and he was a perfect fit for us. We appreciated his knowledge of the parks, the animals, the people, and the birds. We loved his sense of humor and skill in getting the best positions for photography. We really enjoyed [...]
