Easy and extraordinary experience！
The best gift for my 30years old birthday! Chacha is a so kind and patient gentleman, he settled everything well. My guide my brother my rafiki Haroon is the best, and my friend Amuni,Hugi,Rashidi,Adam,Shihouza,Mwedi, they helped me to finish the whole climbing. To tell you the truth, going with them can make you summit easily, and enjoy the trekking. Finally again, Haroon is the best!!!

Africa Endless Cruising is very experienced and offers a high level of service.
Africa Endless Cruising arranged a Mt. Meru hike for me. The three day trip was awesome. Starting from the hotel pick-up in Arusha, the guide and his staff provided meals along the way as we spent the nights in huts on the mountain. The huts have four bunks to a room but we had our own rooms this trip. The huts were comfortable with a dinning hall and washrooms. Every meal was complete with tea, coffee, soups, main course as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. A solo traveler could book this trip without worry as you and your guide are formed into group with other hikers and escorted by a ranger for most of the hike. Be prepared for a pretty rugged last five kilometers to get to the summit. We left camp at 1:00 AM to watch the sun rise over Kilimanjaro. If time permits, you may select a more relaxed four day trip. A Mt. Meru hike is fraction of the cost of a Kili hike and takes less time. With hotel pick up and drop off, meals and the sleeping huts provided I am grateful for the service provided by the guide and Africa Endless Cruising. I highly recommend booking through this company in Tanzania.

TRIP OF A LIFETIME!!!
TRIP OF A LIFETIME!!!!! Our trip to Africa and Uganda was Amazing! Chacha planned an outstanding itinerary with all of the top national parks and accommodations! We wouldn't change a thing! We started at Tarangire National Park wherein we encountered almost every animal in Africa up close and personal. We ended the day with breathtaking accommodations overlooking the Tarangire park where we relaxed and watched the animals from the lodge’s stone sitting area. Next stop was Lake Manyara National Park followed by the Serengeti National Park and ending with the Ngorongoro Crater. Every park was special in its own way and definitely worth the visit. I believe every animal was within a couple feet of our safari truck with the exception of a few! Simply extraordinary! Our tour guide, Rama, was as amazing as the animals! He is very personable, knowledgeable and extremely kind! Rama made the safari exceptional with his smiling face and shining personality. He would stop on request and made every effort to make the trip the best possible. He even got us up early to head to the hippo pool so we could actually see them out of the water. It was a fantastic and well worth the early morning awakening! Our drive through the Serengeti was a sight to behold and something you would have to see to believe. It was the start of the migration with thousands of wildebeest and zebras everywhere. I mean everywhere! You could see them as far as your sight would allow you as well as crossing the road in front of you. The pictures couldn’t capture them all and you just see dots everywhere which were the wildebeests! Rama even stopped at a shopping center for us so we could pick up some souvenirs and always had his “Hakuna Matata” attitude! The staff at all of our lodges/hotels were beyond accommodating! They assisted us with adapters for our cell phones and printed Visas and many Covid test results for us from their printers! This was the end of our extraordinary trip to Tanzania. Our next stop was Uganda for Gorilla trekking. Again, Chacha, delivered on lovely accommodations and another lovely tour guide, Moses. The Silverback Lodge was next to the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and was incredible! The staff were as friendly and accommodating as the Tanzania folks! The gorillas were stunning to see up so close and in their natural environment! I would highly recommend Africa Endless Cruising to anyone who is seeking an African Adventure!

My Safari was a life-changing experience.
The entire safari was excellent. My guide, Rama, was the best I could ever ask for. He was knowledgeable, and one of the nicest people I spent time with. He provided us with a variety of experiences, from seeing all of the animals to visiting with indigenous tribe people, to eating great food every day. The accommodations were also top notch. When I return to Tanzania, I will definitely use this company and this guide again.

Exotic, safe, memorable, fun!
Very knowledgeable, helpful, and fun -- they make you feel comfortable on an exotic, memorable trip. Franc was our guide, and is a true expert on the Serengeti. When he's not giving the tour, he's reading about the animals, making sure he can provide the best experience for his guests. Chacha was also very thoughtful, taking care of everything. Highly recommend! Nothing bad happened on the entire trip, which is amazing on such an exotic adventure.

Great 3 days with perfect driver
We had 3-days safari and visited Ngorongoro and Serengety. Everything was perfect: firstly, we have seen a lot of animals. It was really useful that the driver had contact with other drivers, so in case smth interesting happened we also got there and had a chance to see a lot of staff. We also had a flight to Zanzibar on the 3rd day - and the driver helped a lot to be on time. The last, but not the least: the hotels were perfect (especially Serena in Ngorongoro with a breathtaking view on Ngorongoro. ) I enjoyed the whole tour so much!

A dream come true!
We just returned from an amazing 17 day Tanzania and Kenya combined safari. We found this tour company through Safaribookings.com and we were a bit apprehensive about wiring our payment. I can assure anyone who might be nervous about pre-paying and wiring money, that there is absolutely nothing to worry about if you use AfricaEndlessCruising LTD. Mr. Chacha Kehengu (the owner of the company) was very responsive to all of our questions and sent around 10 emails before we departed the United States to Tanzania. Our driver was there to greet us upon our arrival at Kilimanjaro Airport and then our nerves settled and we realized we were in for a great adventure.
Our tour guide for the Tanzania portion of the trip was Saleh. He is simply amazing at locating all the hidden animals. We truly felt lucky to have him. Not only does he know how to spot animals, but he also very familiar with all of the parks as well.
We went to Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Lake Eyasi, Ngorogoro Crater NP, Lake Ndutu, and the Serengeti. All places visited were unique and amazing in their own right.
If you have the means and time, I highly suggest including all of these sights on your safari. After Lake Manyara, we opted to do the optional cultural visit to the town of Mto Wa Mbu. The tour takes about 2 hours and is done by local women who take you to see how Tanzanians live.
I highly recommend doing this tour! We also visited 3 bushmen tribes near lake Eyasi that all have very distinct cultures. Additionally, we visited a Masai boma village and were greeted with an authentic Masai dance and afterward were invited into their homes.
The land border crossing into Kenya went smoothly, and Saleh stayed with us until we met our Kenya tour guide Francis who was at the border waiting for us.
In Kenya we went to the Masai Mara NP, Lake Nakuru NP, Lake Elementeita, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate NP, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Samburu NP, Buffalo Springs NP, Amboseli NP, and spent our last night in Nairobi (If you have time in Nairobi, arrange for your guide to take you to the Giraffe Manor where you can hand feed the Giraffes).
Our Kenyan guide Francis was kind and easy to talk to. We were lucky enough to see all the Big 5 in Tanzania, and again in Kenya. Each of Kenya's parks that we visited were also very distinct and each had something special to offer. We had initially scheduled Abedare NP in our itinerary, but because of heavy rains, none of the lodges were open in Abedare, and many of the roads had major damage. So instead of going to Abedare, we ended up going to Lake Naivasha on a boat tour to an island were you can walk with Zebra, Wildebeests, and Giraffes. We also went to Hell's Gate afterward since it is was so close. Hell's Gate was probably the park we enjoyed the least, but it is where the inspiration for Disney's Lion King came from.
Overall, Samburu had unique wildlife that we only saw there- the Somali Ostrich, Grevy's Zebra, gerenuk, and my favorite- LOTS of Oryx.
If you want to see Rhinos up close, then I would recommend going to Lake Nakuru and/or Ol Pejeta- lots and lots of White and Black rhinos.
The Masai Mara had lots of Lions and also has a group of Cheetahs called the 5 brothers which was super cool to see.
The view of Mt. Kilimanjaro from Amboseli and the abundance of Elephants found there was breathtaking and quintessential Africa.
Tarangire's Baobab trees were incredible and looked like something out of a Dr. Seuss book.
Ngorogoro Crater and Arusha NP were absolutely stunning and what I would call Heaven on Earth.
The lodges and luxury tented camps were each extremely good. We stayed mostly in the Serena lodges/Tented camps, as well as a handful of other tented camps and lodges. ALL of the accommodations in both Tanzania and Kenya were superb!
In regards to the food, it too was great. I am a vegetarian and there were tons of tasty options at all of the lodges. My traveling companion doesn't eat beef or pork, nor does he eat vegetables, but he too had plenty of chicken and fish options. They also have pineapple, watermelon, bread, rolls, FRENCH FRIES and chicken samosas at all of the lodges and tented camps. You will not be disappointed.
I would highly highly recommend using Africa Endless Cruising LTD to plan your visit to Either Tanzania, Kenya or both if you are able. Mr. Chacha met us at our very nice hotel in Arusha on our first night of the trip to ensure that we had everything we needed. He took great care of us and I'm confidant he will do the same for you. Don't hesitate to request Saleh as your tour guide in Tanzania, and Francis as your tour guide in Kenya. You will be in talented, capable, and friendly hands.
We had internet every night of our safari and Mr. ChaCha emailed us 3 times during our trip to check-in and make sure everything was going as planned. Mr. ChaCha is very professional and very organized.
If you are planning a trip to either Tanzania or Kenya or both then I highly highly recommend booking with Africa Endless Cruising LTD

The Safari Dream
The title says it all: this will be the trip your dreams are made out of! From the minute we got picked up by Africa Endless Cruising, I could tell this was a top quality operator who was going to show us an excellent time! We want to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, and of course the legendary Serengeti national park. Everything they promised they delivered on including spotting all the game we could ever want to see. In fact, we got so luck to be able to spot a pride of 20 lions! Incredible stuff. The hotel accomdations for the evening were 100% top notch luxury. If you end up booking with this company, make sure to ask for Karim as your Safari guide and driver. He is the best!

Daytrips to Lake Manyara, Tarangire and the southern Serengeti
I traveled, out of Karatu, for 3 days with Wambura, a tour guide with Africa Endless Cruising Safaris, in several National Parks. There had been significant rainfall for days but we were able to have a wonderful trips to Tarangire, Lake Manyara and the southern plains of the Serengeti to see the wildebeest migration. These were daytrip out of Karatu and were added on to a Volunteer experience at FAME Clinic in Karatu. We saw thousands of animals, a great variety, and the guide and driver were very professional, friendly and spoke excellent english and were particularly knowledgeable about the animals and ecosystem. Overall the experience was excellent and I would recommend it heartily.
