Do you provide airport pick up?

Yes please we provide round-trip airport transfer. On arrival, our driver will be at the airport on arrival holding a board with your name on it and our company logo and transfer you to Arusha. Also, we will be providing free pre-hiking accommodation on the day you arrive at Senator Hotel and the day after hiking.

Is it good for beginners hike? I did hikes in the past but not the high altitude hikes.

We think this is the best route because it is at least the easiest path on the mountain, given its gradual slope. It is also the only route that offers sleeping huts in dormitory-style accommodations.

Our 5-day safari in the Serengeti was without a doubt one of the most beautiful travel experiences we have ever had. From the moment we drove into the park, it felt like we found ourselves in the middle of a nature documentary. The vast plains of Serengeti National Park are impressive and everywhere you look there is wildlife. During the game drives we saw an incredible number of animals: lions lying in the shade, giraffes walking quietly past the jeep and huge herds of wildebeest and zebra roaming the savannah. Our guide Habibu was fantastic. He knew exactly where we needed to be and told us a lot about the animals and the ecosystem. Thanks to him, we saw a huge variety of wildlife in a short time. Five days turned out to be just the right length: enough time to explore different parts of the park without feeling rushed. In short: an unforgettable experience. The Serengeti is truly a place you must see at least once in your life.Show more

I did the 3-day safari tour together with my partner. We visited Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater and it was truly amazing. From start to finish, everything was well arranged. Scolastica was extremely helpful and responded to every question we had. Ally picked us up from the airport and made sure we had a great start of our adventure. Simba was our driver/tour guide and he was truly amazing. He knew every little detail and we saw every animal we could think of, including the big 5. Lastly, the overnight stays were really nice, and we had the pleasure to see Zebra’s next to our room. I would definitely recommend this trip with Travel Africa Safari Agency, it’s the best experience ever!Show more
