Kilimanjaro Day Trip
This tour is offered by;
Booked a 4-day safari encompassing Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti. Were very responsive in all communication from the first contact and Salim, our tour designer, managed to book a custom package in accordance with our wishes on a very short notice. The accommodation was excellent throughout. Livingstone, our driver and guide, was simply phenomenal - he knows literally everything about the area and its flora and fauna and seemed to have a sixth sense about where to find the different species of animals.
Consequently, the tour never had a dull moment as there was always something new to see. We might have been lucky, but during a relatively short safari we saw cheetahs, leopards, lions, rhinos and a crocodile as well as the more numerous elephants, zebras and impalas. A particularly nice touch (which others have mentioned) is the warm lunch, which we enjoyed using metal plates, goblets and cutlery so no concerns about plastic waste :) In short - Budget Safaris Tanzania are professionals from start to finish and we had the trip of a lifetime.
