    Wonderful experience from start to finish! Guides were super knowledgeable and all of their crew very helpful with anything we needed. We trained a lot for this hike, but I give our group at least 50% credit for us reaching the summit. Lemosho Route is beautiful! I loved the forest and seeing all animals, flowers, birds, and giant trees, ferns, and vines. Simply gorgeous.

    our safari trip to the Serengeti National Park was an unforgettable experience. The park's incredible wildlife, scenic beauty, and unique camping experience made for an exciting and memorable adventure. We highly recommend the Serengeti as a must-visit destination for any safari enthusiast.
