In the flawless national parks of Tanzania, Mother Nature is at her most crude and amazing. Magnificent lions, panthers, cheetahs and elephants meander nimbly along old fields, while red-shrouded Masai warriors watch out for their groups and the hover of life unfurls in an interminable movement.

After friends had told us about their Kili trek we got hooked on the idea of our own trip to Tanzania to climb that famous mountain. The guide of the trek we had been told about also had taken the bold step to create his own company - Kili Land Adventures. So we decided to seize the opportunity and contacted Kili Land Adventures about our tour. Their planning efforts started immediately and we were presented with a tour plan (Lemosho route) that we felt was very sensible and tailored to our abilities. A packing list was provided and many more details via email. The trip itself was very much at stake during the Covid-19 times, but in the end we could travel to Tanzania using Qatar Airways. Our hike onto Mount Kili was an unforgettable experience. Our crew of guides, porters and one cook were the kindest and most supportive people imaginable. They cared for us very, very well; they judged our progress on the mountain and proposed favorable modifications to the tour plan to optimize our use of time and to ensure good progress on our way to the summit. In the end we had some "difficulties" only on the summit day (which was to be expected), but all the other days went very smoothly thanks to the crew's diligent planning of our acclimatization. And finally, we made it to the summit, all four of us, just as planned! It was difficult (I won't lie about that!), but in the end we felt safe and confident, throughout the summit day. The guides were very generous in answering all of our (many!) questions and patiently waited for us to take hundreds of photos. I have the highest respect for the people of our crew, be it the guides or the porters, these guys are some of the toughest persons on this planet. Let me add that after our Kili trip we also went on to some days of safari (Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti). Our safari driver-guide was suggested and hired for us also by Kili Land Adventures (although the guide does not work directly for them). This guide was extremely motivated, kind, and knowledgable, and therefore the whole safari was absolutely on par with our unforgettable Kili trip. So if you consider traveling to Tanzania, do yourself a favor and contact Kili Land Adventures to work out a plan for you. You will be a happy customer ...

It was one of the best experiences in my life. Everything was well organized, we did a 4 days Cycling Adventure from the sides of Kilimanjaro to Tarangire with our guide Humprey and the driver guide Octavian. We real enjoyed the trip, accomodation at all places we went was great and comfortable, meals was also delicious. The bikes we used was good too though we are not the good bikers but wasn’t worries as we had a support car with us all the way and back to Arusha. On the last day it was another megical day for us as we visited Lake Manyara Park, this was the day that we spent our day on the Safari jeep while enjoying the game in the park. We got to see alot of animals and we witnessed a hunt by two lionesses, it was magical. We strongly recomend this company to our family, friends and everyone who will interested with Tours in Tanzania.

6. Tanzania Cultural Excursions

Enjoy Kili

Home to approximately 120 tribal groups, most of these comprise small communities that are gradually being assimilated into the larger population due to changes in land use and the economic draw of city life. Pastoralists who fiercely guard their culture and traditions, Masaai tribal life revolves around protecting and caring for their herds of cattle and finding ample grazing land in their region. The 'Spice Islands' of the Zanzibar Archipelago, Pemba, Mafia, and the entire Tanzanian coast is home to the Swahili people, a vibrant mix of Arab, Indian and Bantu origins who historically based their livelihoods around Indian Ocean trade. The Swahili Coast, as the region is called, is a predominantly Islamic region with old mosques and coral palaces found throughout the area. Swahili culture centres around the dhow, a wooden sailing boat powered by the seasonal wind.

Inclusions: Transfer from Airport to Hotel and Back to the Airport, Hotel Accommodation (Half Board), A Local Guide, Land Transports, Water, All Tour Fees & Government Taxes
