Tanzania Tours in Winter

The tour is very complete and the people has been amazing. However, I strongly recommend to improve the support for people with allergy/ dietary requirements. In my case I have coeliac disease and I felt not supported at all. The CEOs or hotels where not aware of my diet and most of the times I could not eat or I struggled to find safe food. While the rest of the group was having food together I had myself to speak with each cook, hotel and staff without the help of CEOs. I asked several times before joining the trip but even so it was difficult and I would have appreciated that hotels and CEOs were more supportive.

This was my first time on a G Adventures trip. I loved every day of it. Each day was unique and special. I know the size could have been larger, but 4 people plus Joseph and the driver was ideal. We were able to learn so much more by not having to have Joseph shared with a second land cruiser.

We have just returned from this amazing trip. What a wonderfully experience it was. David the tour leader was absolutely fantastic. He was strong and decisive leader and was exactly what we all needed to complete this tough challenge. The porters were unbelievable and every bit of credit you read about them in other reviews is so very well deserved. See for yourselves how dedicated to you they are. It’s like a small village constantly on the move up the mountain together. The food was first class and there were a lot of choices for everybody. To be fair we all ate really well and you certainly wont go hungry at all. The mess tent had a great vibe as you will find similar people wanting to do similar things as yourselves. Our group of 11 had a great balance. Me and my wife were the only couple together and all the others had come despite being in relationships. Advice Don’t take a book or a kindle. There is very little ‘down time’ so you wont get the time you think you will get because there is always something to do. I thought we’d have hours of waiting around in the afternoons but it never worked out that way. Sometimes everybody would be tired and take a nap other times a card game would commence. You’ll be amazed at how quickly the hours go. You will have a great group of people believe me. You booked this trip for the same reasons that they did so embrace it. You will wear a lot of the same clothes, just ensure you have your summit night clothes fresh and ready to go. Because we went in early February there were hot days and cold nights. Your clothes wont smell and neither will you so take a little roll on deodorant and use it every morning. You will get a wishy washy (bowl of hot water) every morning and most afternoons too. Remember it’s nothing like Glastonbury camping mainly because you will always be sober. Believe it or not but the 15kg allowance is plenty. No it really is. Don’t stress about packing it’s all going to be OK… Don’t go mad with your snacks as there is unlimited chocolate and biscuits provided by Exodus. The only small complaint was that the toilet tent was a bit shabby and the zipper needed attention. The toilet itself was absolutely fine. I’m sure Exodus can afford a new toilet tent. The organisation was first class and a lot of friendships developed. It’s amazing how it’s all arranged and so well put together. I would recommend this trip 100% and Exodus as a company have got you covered. They might cost a little more than other tours but you get what you pay for on the mountain.

Outstanding! Would especially like to acknowledge the camp manager D.J. His energy and professionalism were a model emulated by the rest of the team. He anticipated problems and was always there just when you needed him. We wouldn?t have had such an amazing trip without him. He?s a great asset to the G Adventure Company!

This was my first trip to Tanzania and Kilimanjaro. The G Adventures team really made it a memorable trip that I will never forget and I am so happy I did it.

The Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater are breathtaking. This was such an amazing experience that I will look back on for the rest of my life with so much joy. I am so glad I did this and that I also participated in the hot air balloon ride. The safari and hot air balloon are priceless. I am still smiling ear to ear thinking about all that I saw and experienced!
