We are so happy we chose Alaitol Safaris for our trip! Hussein was our guide who was VERY professional, knowledgable, answered all our questions, and made sure we had the best time! He helped other guides, he knew all the lodges, and he advocated for us at every hotel/lodge we stayed at. He made sure we got to see as many wildlife as possible. He has 11 years of experience and he is fluent in English. The pick up and drop off from the airport was seamless. We got to visit 3 different NPs. Pre Tour communication was excellent, Jane let us choose our own lodging and were flexible about frequent changes to our plans. We enjoyed choosing our own lodging. The jeeps were comfortable and very clean. I thank Alaitol Safaris team for the great service, We hope to return to Tanzania in the future still under your service.

Tarangire and Ngorongoro are both worth seeing. I preferred the animal spotting in Tarangire but the Ngorongoro crater is stunning, a must see. The trip was well organized and i would recommend booking the safari with Mohammed. Everything was as described in the safari details i had read before booking and Mohammed is a really friendly guy. I also want to thank Assad, who works with Mohammed, for helping me out in and around Arusha before and after Safari. A great experience, thanks guys.

rainforest, which then turns into a scrubland. Towards the top of the mountain, the vegetation consists of heath and moorland and is then finally replaced by the stunning baron alpine deserts. As the flora changes the wildlife does so too, which is diverse and equally impressive. During the ascent, you will regularly come across large game such as elephants and buffalos but you may also come across leopards. Due to this, it is obligatory to be accompanied by an armed park ranger on your tour.

Inclusions: Meals and soft drinks during the trekking, All Fees and Taxes, Private transportation, Bottled water

It was nice to be lucky enough to be there, especially during this time and peacefully enjoying all these sightings. I started with the Ngorongoro Crater, I had the pleasure to enjoy all the animals without the noise of cars, after I spent a great time following the migration in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Safari Crew is the best organization, best guides; not only for Tanzania but also for amazing trips I have done with them earlier in Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Rwanda and Uganda. Asante sana! Tullio

9. Day Trip Game Drive- Arusha National Park from Arusha Town

Zicasso Expeditions

It is a popular destination for day trip visitors who are about to embark from the town of Arusha on longer northern circuit safaris. The small national park includes the slopes, summit, and ash cone of Mt. Meru, the Momela Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater, and the lush highland forests that blanket its lower slopes. Game viewing around the Momela Lakes is at a laid-back and quiet pace, and while passing through the forest many visitors stop to search for troupes of rare colubus monkeys playing in the canopy. Passing first through wooded savannah where buffalos and giraffes are frequently encountered, the ascent of Meru leads into forests aflame with red-hot pokers and dripping with Spanish moss, before reaching highly open heath spiked with giant lobelias. Everlasting flowers cling to the alpine desert, as delicately-hoofed klipspringers mark the hike’s progress. Astride the craggy summit, Kilimanjaro stands unveiled, blushing in the sunrise.

Inclusions: All Fees and Taxes, Snacks, Breakfast

We are a family of 4 with children 14 years and went on a 3 day camping safari through northern Tanzania with Zicasso Expeditions. During the planning, Zicasso was helpful and always quick to reply to our e-mails and many requests. All the details were taken care of for the safari from the pick up at Kilimanjaro International Airport to Arusha to dropping us off at our hotel. The safari itself was amazing - we saw thousands of wildlife and, thanks to the sharp eyes of our guide Thomas, we witnessed a cheetah hunting a gazelle up close, also we spotted groups of elephants and wildebeest at Tanrangire NP and Ngorongoro crater, the food and transport was just incredible. It was the trip of a lifetime for us and we will always remember Tanzania.

We went to the feet of the Klimanjaro. We went down a mountain to the Klimanjaro waterfalls, it was really challenging and amazing. Hereafter we went on a coffee tour with the local people. We made our own coffee, it was really amazing. We also got local food, it was really good. The people were very kind and they really were open and friendly. If you go to Tanzania you should really visit the mochi people. They are really kind and the place is wonderful.
