Andor W | Traveled in February
We had a great time in Tanzania! With many cool activities (safari, cultural tour, the walk in Stone Town, relaxed programme on the beach) and a very friendly and knowledgeable team, I would definitely recommend it.
Kelly C | Traveled in February
I loved that our family of six had this adventure all to ourselves. It was a trip of a lifetime for our family. The trip exceeded our expectations and was outstanding. We were very fortunate to see so many animals which was amazing. We chose this trip for the number and variety of safari drives, but we also thoroughly enjoyed the cultural and educational aspects.
Mary S | Traveled in February
The guides and the porters on the Mount Kilimanjaro portion were amazing. A fellow traveler described it as close to luxury as one can get while camping and climbing a mountain! When we needed something, it appeared. The porters and guides singing was amazing and made me cry while we were climbing on summit day! The birthday cake and singing was really impressive! So many wonderful memories and new friends!
Ian | Traveled in February
An incredible experience! A very unique experience that takes you to some of the most incredible places for wildlife in the world. The guide and group size make you feel like you have your own special and unique trip. I would never have imagined the amount of incredible wildlife we witnessed and incredible viewing experiences all packed into one trip. The opportunities to help out in local communities and experience the people and culture made the trip even more amazing. It gives you a sense of fulfillment and gratitude to be so fortunate to have these types of experiences! Would recommend this to anyone, especially families looking for an escape to the great outdoors while still having the comfort of a wonderful accomodations.
Annemieke B | Traveled in February
The Kilimanjaro climb was so amazing, truly life changing. Not just for the journey and reaching the summit, but because we spent 8 days getting to know the wonderful Tanzanian CEOS and crew and seeing their positivity, enthusiasm and perseverence despite the challenges of their job has truly humbled us and their energy is contagious. Their service and care was so impressive.
Katherine M | Traveled in January
Overall, this was the trip of a lifetime. We had so much fun, we saw amazing animals, and the service/guides were incredible. Such a memorable experience! I look forward to my next National+G tour.
