Excellent three-day safari to Ngorongoro Wildlife Conservation Area
My short safari with High Peaks was perfect from all points of view. I arrived in Tanzania in late April and was met by my High Peaks driver, Livingstone, who speaks excellent English and was an informative guide to the flora and fauna we encountered. Because archaeology is one of my interests, we first drove to the Olduvai Gorge where our guide, Ms Chalangi, a university graduate student, gave a thorough explanation of the site first excavated by Louis Leakey and where some of the first traces of early hominids have been found. Then we continued to the Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge, my hotel for the next two nights, a very good choice for its courteous staff and fabulous views over the Ngorongoro Crater. The next day we visited a Masai village where we were warmly greeted and I was shown the kindergarten building of which the village is rightfully proud. From there we descended into the Ngorongoro Crater and, because the day was sunny and warm, were treated to sightings of nearly all the birds and mammals that romp there, including, I counted them, thirty lions! The last day we drove slowly back to Arusha, passing by the park at Manyara Lake. My guide was always patient with my questions and requests and deserves much credit for the pleasure I got from this safari. The rest of the credit goes, of course, to High Peaks itself and to Hans Kitungu for his clear and prompt responses to all my questions before the trip. He always listened to me and respected my preferences so that we could design a fully satisfying safari according to my interests.
This is what every visitor wants, a flexible, communicative, attentive, and respectful tour operator and staff. I am very happy I found High Peaks.

Feels like the lion king in real life
Hi,
Last summer we went on safari with high peaks, it was wonderful!
In the morning they picked us up at our camping site with the Jeeps, we were immediately enthusiastic.
The seats were very comfortable, we had a lot of space, there were charge points to charge our cameras or anything and the roof of the Jeep could open so we had a great view during the whole safari. Our driver was also very funny and told us a lot of interesting information, he was good company!!
During the safari, the driver stopped several times so we could see everything, he also gave us a binoculars for the details and stuff. It was very exciting when an elephant walked by the Jeep with a distance of like 10 centimeters, the driver told us to be very quiet for our own safety. This was also when we saw a lioness, he explained everything very well so we had no problems or anything. We had a lot of fun and saw really great things. One life experience!! I would definitely recommend it.

Our gids, Fortune and Shebby, were the niciest we could wish for!
Difficult to say, because we were with a school project "Global Exploration". And we weren't really informed about the safari because our teachers didn't tell us.
