Exellent!
Great days in Tanzania with the Siafu Tanzania safari team.
At least once a year we are organizing a trip with group of friends abroad to experience different people, places and cultures. This year choice of destination was Tanzania where we were hoping to visit nature parks, experience the hospitality of Tanzanian people, experience urban life with the lively markets as well as rest on the beautiful beaches in Zansibar.
Estravel helped us purchase flight tickets and we received information from our friends about Siafu Tanzania safari team who had previously helped them to organize their vacation. We got in touch with the team and they helped us to achieve a dream vacation.
At Kilimanjaro Airport we were met by hospitality by Siafu Tanzania team as Ene Lepp and Emmanuel were expecting us at arrivals and helped us to helped us with practicalities such exchanging money and finding our hotel. Ene’s experience and expertise in visiting Arusha markets and discovering the city’s sights helped us everywhere, with ease we were able to achieve best purchase prices and make choose best possible options for us. We visited the Tanzanini Museum in Arusha, the Maasai market and many other sites. In order to experience local life and culture in its authentic way we used local services. Ene took as for ice cream in fabulous local ice cream café and she always entertained us with endless stories about her adventures in Tanzania. We stayed at the Tulia Hotel and Spa in Arusha, which was also booked by the team of Siafu Tanzania Ltd. The hotel was comfortable and nice without breaking the budget; with a swimming pool and a bar where we spend nice relaxing time.
Following adoption to African culture in Arusha were moved further for an exciting 3 days in Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro National Parks with an excellent guide Emmanuel, whose professional knowledge of nature, friendliness and safe driving only deserve praise. We enjoyed experiencing lives of lions, elephants, zebras, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, gazelles, monkeys and many more animals like mummy ostriches and hippos looking for shelter in the water. Excellent lunches at the stops of national parks with coffee and wine were a unique experience. During Safari Days, accommodation with breakfasts and dinners was offered by the excellent hotel Fanaka Lodge, which was also booked by the team of Siafu Tanzania Ltd.
A meeting with residents in the Mto Wa Mbu community and Maasai village was a another fabulous experience. Accompanied by Deo Kibungara, we learned about the village liffe, visited their homes, took part in nature education in the banana farm and rice field as well as watched craftsmen work in their wooden workshop. Of course, the visits included opportunity to purchase interesting local items that will remind us of Africa. Selling style of locals was intense and when they realized that we were a bit overwhelmed they calmed us by saying ‘pole, pole’ (in Estonian, peace, peace) and eventually deals were made for everyone’s satisfaction. In the villages we met a lot of great people including children who cheerfully shouted us in the village tour. Local children were grateful and exited when we offered them some gifs such as candies and school supplies that we had brought with us
Together with Ene and Emmanuel, we visited several Tanzania schools to see children enjoying fun learning experiences together. We also visited Maasai village, met their way of life and enjoyed their welcome dance, handicrafts and genuine hospitality.
At the end of our time in Arusha was time to move on to Zansibar. Ene and Emmanuel kindly took us to the airport where we said our goodbyes: it was hard to leave as we had become good friends and we thoroughly enjoyed their company.
Our visits to the city of Arusha and to the national parks of the Kilimanjaro region left us with unforgettable memories of natural richness of the nature and the genuine friendliness of people. Of course what made this trip a fabulous once as it was meeting and sharing time with Ene, who did not get tired of introducing us to the real life of Tanzania and sharing experiences on how to manage as an Estonian in Tanzania.
We will always remind ourselves of a friendly and hospitable phrase ‘Hacuna matata’ from Tanzania (in Estonian, take it easy) as this helps to keep our otherwise not so joyful Estonian spirits alive for time to come.
Thank you Ene Lepp and Emmanuel!

Many thanks to our tour operator Ene Lepp and Siafu Tanzania Safari.
VIKK lased in Tanzania.
It was amazing tour. Many thanks to our tour operator Ene Lepp and Siafu Tanzania Safari.
The most important point of our tour was Kilimandjaro – we enjoyed morning’s smells and voices, marvellous views and, of course, the climbing on the top – thanks a lot to our guides. They were really experienced and very supportive.
We visited Tarangire national park and to see a lion, giraffa or elephants almost next to us – it was unbelievable.
Ene tried to fulfill all our wishes. We visited Maasais’ village and school, saw local people’s life and work. This was very interesting. Really surprising for us was visiting the technical college in Arusha – it was as modern as ours are or maybe even better!
Our accommodations were comfortable, food and beer super.
Tanzania and Kilimandjaro –it was our dream and it came true! Thank you!
