Tanzania 14-Day Tours and Trips

The climb was a wonderful experience and excellent guides and porters looked after us so well. We all made it to the top - it wasn't easy, but the expertise of our guides Henry, Alpha and Betrium, and the encouragement that they gave us along the way ensured that we all got to the summit!

Well where to begin in reviewing this trip? I guess at the start and it certainly is as advertised an adventure, and an adventure you will never forget. From the very beginning arriving into Nairobi airport everything was superbly organised and it wasn't long before we met up with our group of fellow travelers and we're introduced to our exodus team, consisting of our leader Patrick, our driver David, cook Wilson and helper Jessie, what a great team they were too so friendly and welcoming to us all. I don't believe that within the budget of this trip it would be possible to see so much of East Africa as we managed to see on our holiday. Through Kenya, onto Tanzania and then ending in Zanzibar, everyday spent marvelling at what each location has to offer, just as you think things can't get any better in the Massai mara you're into the Serengeti and even greater sights, and then to top it all off my personal favourite was a morning in the ngorrowgorrw crater. Along the way we were lucky enough to see the big five, a cheetah kill a hare, countless giraffes, elephants, wilderbeast, hippos, and so many other animals I can't write them all down. We slept in camps where you could literally hear the lions and hyenas and they sounded so close. We woke mornings to find zebras munching grass within touching distance of our tents, on this trip all this just seems natural, but when you get home you really think about it and realize how lucky you were to see it all. You will sleep in 2 man tents which are a little on the small side but you're so knackered at night you really don't care so long as you can put your head down and go to sleep. There is an awful lot of traveling, there has to be to cram so much into the trip, the truck is pretty comfortable and there is generally lots to see, but take a book or 2 as there are a couple of really long days of transiting destinations. I would thoroughly recommend this trip, indeed if you're reading this review you're obviously considering this holiday, I can offer one piece of advice stop considering right now and book it! I guarantee you won't regret anything unless you don't do this holiday it was for us the trip of a lifetime. Oh and last but not least I have to mention the food which we were a little concerned about before we got there, it was delicious, plenty of variety, and Wilson's soups were really tasty, don't know how he managed it but great cooking really enjoyed every meal.

I cant say enough positive things about G Adventures and the level of care and attention we received on Kilimanjaro. Climbing the highest mountain in Africa was always going to be an amazing experience but it was made exceptional by the team who accompanied us. Every one of them acted with professionalism and enthusiasm throughout the entire 8 days. I have to give special credit to the Assistant CEO Paulo who loaned me his sunglasses for the entire trip after I lost mine on Day 1! Truly he went above and beyond for my comfort and I am so so grateful.

By far the best holiday I've been on. Fantastic wildlife (lucky to see the safari big 6), the culture - visit to local masai village, tour of Stone town and spice tour in Zanzibar.The Exodus crew (Chris, Tutu and Samy) and the whole group made it even better. Not sure if I'll get tired of talking about this to my friends. Just book your place & enjoy a holiday of a lifetime.

An adventure indeed! The wildlife viewing is incredible, from big cats to birds. The cultural side to the trip is extremely interesting when visiting the masai's.  There is so much to do and see on this trip and don't expect your 8 hours kip every night, but you have Zanzibar at the end, where you can relax on white sandy beaches overlooking the crystal blue sea.

It was a well organised trip with a lot of game drive Safaris. Accommodation was good except for a couple of places that were very basic. Food was always plenty and good.
