Our experience in Tanga and with the Tanga Cultural Tourism Enterprise (CTE) was incredible. Imani, our tour guide, was so welcoming when we arrived. He gave us a brief history of the area and highlighted the different programs and tours offered in the area. The first day we were taken on a walking tour of the city. Not only is it a beautiful city that lies next to the Indian ocean, everyone is so friendly and the streets aren't crazy busy, giving the town a relaxed feel. We tried out some coconut wine at the local bar and then ended the tour at Imani's house, where we were lucky enough to share a meal with him and his family. The next day, we went on a bike tour to the Amboni Caves and the Sulphur Hot Springs. Because Tanga is relatively flat, the bike ride was super relaxing, allowing us to take in the sights and city. The Amboni Caves are absolutely stunning and the tour throughout the cave was filled with humour and information about the caves. The next part of the bike ride was through scenic fields, ending at the vibrant blueish green sulphur spring. Through all of this, Imani taught us so much about each attraction as well as the surrounding area. We went back to Imani's families house for lunch, where we went through the entire process of making pilau. This was definitely a highlight for me. It's a lot of work but the end result is delicious! After lunch, we headed to the museum, where we learned about Tanga's history and the German occupations of the area. We ended the evening off with a bike ride down by the ocean. Tanga is a place that should absolutely be on anyone's list when coming to Tanzania. Imani and the Tanga CTE were incredible and we can't thank them enough for our incredible experience in Tanga.

It was a good experience. The guide explains very well the animals’ life. It was not expansive. I recommand it
5. Amboni Caves - 2 Days
Amboni, have been associated with fascinating stories of a deity residing in the caves where traditional rites are still continuing to be held up to the present time. Ethnic groups such as the Segeju, Sambaa, Bondei and Digo who lived near the caves used it for prayers. There are chambers treated as sacred chambers for worshipping some spirits. One of them is called “Mzimu wa Mabuvu”. Some believe that there is a powerful deity which can alleviate their sickness, sufferings or increase their fertility. This is where Osale Otanga, the person who gave colonialists a hard time lived. The caverns are associated with dazzling stories. One cavern was allegedly used as a hideout by a famous Pre-Uhuru pair of Robin Hoods in the 1950s Mau Mau insurrection. The cave attracts tourist as well as students for their geography lessons.

Trip Date: Aug 2019 Africa and the Serengeti have long been on my friend and I's bucket list. We were so fortunate to have found Alex's Baba Kilimanjaro Tour Group. This was our first time dealing directly with a company in Africa (and not via a third-party travel agency). After we paid the deposit, we seemed a bit uncertain if anyone was going to pick us up at the airport at all! All that anxiety went out of the window when we saw Alex, the owner-operator, smiling and holding up a big sign at the airport, and welcomed us to his comfortable Toyota Land Cruiser. In the next 7-8 days, we traveled with Alex in his Land Cruiser, as a private tour for just us two. He has a keen pair of eyes and can spot animals miles away. He led us to see many animals, including elephants, lions, leopards, African buffalos, giraffes, etc. His English was excellent, we had no problem communicating with him at all. He even has a great sense of humor and told us a lot of interesting stories about the local culture and animals. Most importantly, we saw the crown jewel of the Safari, which is the Great Migration of the wildebeest and zebras. It took a lot of patience and experience on Alex's part, but we finally saw it. Its magnificance can only be appreciated in person. Given this is a national park and complete wilderness, he cared a lot about our safety and told us all kinds of safety precautions. We felt super safe with Alex around. Through these 7-8 day stay with Alex, both my friend and I formed a strong bond with Alex, and we remained friends until today. Note: My trip took place before COVID so no masks was required. From my recent conversation with Alex, he has prepared all the sanitation and personal protection equipment for all his employees and the customers.
