6 National Parks with Kileo Tours
We Safari and Trekking with Kileo Tours for 10 days in total. We start with a day of trekking on Mount Kilimanjaro, where only got to the first camp. Very good walk, the truth is perfect for exploring this mountain but without the need to make the 6 days of the complete circuit. You get to see the top and the scenery is very beautiful, good activity to do for a day.
After that we walked five national parks in Safari mode. We start by the Arusha National Park, which is very interesting because it is the only park we stayed in that had a lot of jungle, so we saw many types of monkeys, not found in other parks. After that we went two days at Tarangire National Park, a day at Lake Manyara National Park, 3 days in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro after 1 day.
Highly recommended especially the last two parks (Serengeti and Ngorongoro), in addition to the Arusha National Park, as the Lake Manyara and Tarangire are almost the same animals.
We loved traveling with this company because it is operated by the owner and are really friendly, which is vital for Safari that lasts 10 days. We stayed 10 days with the same people and the truth is I really enjoyed it, we laughed and talked all. On top of that are very skilled at what they do, they know perfect behavior of animals and places in the park visit, as they are also very good in the mountains, being the companies that sometimes makes summit on Kilimanjaro.
The company did everything for us, since we picked up at the airport until the last day took us right where they were responsible for arranging accommodation and all safari. They were very cooperative when we asked if we could take some place to buy souvenirs or gifts to bring to our country.
I highly recommend visiting the parks we did, although I think you can do almost the same thing in fewer days, just to visit Arusha, Serengeti and Ngorongoro national park, it has covered much of the animals.

Day Trip to Hell's Gate National Park and the Rift Valley
My wife and I did a day trip with AWS in December 2015. The tour and safari were both spectacular and the overall experience was excellent.
Joseph picked us up from the airport and made great time to the Rift Valley and Hell's Gate National Park. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and a great driver. While enroute we stopped at various picturesque locations and during the safari he not only found a wide variety of animals but also educated us on the flora and fauna of the area. The trip included a walking trip through an ancient riverbed canyon led by a local Masai. It takes a full day and is totally worth it.
Before the trip, the booking process and getting clarifications with Mike were very simple affairs and we would book with this company again, in a heartbeat.

Amazing sites and sounds of the African bush.
Having lived in Botswana about 10years ago, I decided to embark on a self driven safari. The Chobe National Park has a lot of wildlife, as such one does not waist time looking for them. The weather was perfect because in August the temperature is mild with no rain. August is considered one of the best times to visit Chobe National Park and neighbouring attractions such as Victoria Falls, Hwange National Park and the Okavango Delta. Accommodation at Chobe Safari Lodge was excellent and so was the sunset cruise along the Chobe River. My highlights included seeing some of the largest African elephants on earth crossing the Chobe River; the majestic Southern Hornbill; a Hyena walking on the side of the road looking for animal carcasses and; lastly seeing Lions and the African Spotted Dogs on the hunt. In my opinion visiting the Chobe National Park and surrounding attractions is a vacation of a lifetime and I would recommend it to all nature lovers like myself.

Different perspective.
Savannah Southern Safaris provides a relaxed and informative walking tour through the eastern section of the Mosi-au-Tunya National Park in Zambia. Although the park is small we were able to view Impala, Buffalo and Rhino on foot and therefore a more natural perspective. The guides provided a well presented feast of information on the local vegetation, birdlife, the wildlife encountered and the spoor trails they leave. This Safari is well worth it for anyone who likes to experience the landscape on foot and learn about it along the way.

Touring Zambia by Car
I explained to Leslie of MTT that my husband I are different from other tourists, we actually want to see the country Zambia and not fly from one camp to another like others. We are interested in the people, the history of a country and we also wanted to see the animals.
Leslie arranged to have Paul take us all around Zambia over a three week period in a private car. Paul is a wonderful guide and a safe driver who seemed to know everybody in the whole country. We spent several nights in various bush camps and when camps were not available we pitched our own tents in the wild, helped Paul cook our own dinners and breakfasts. What a wonderful way to spend a holiday. We are thankful to Leslie for spending the time and effort to make our trip a memorable one. We have been in many places in this world, but Zambia stands out as the best place to see animals without the heard of tourists in your face.
