Excellent
We did a 4-day trek up Mt Meru and a 6-day mid-range safari to the Serengeti & Ngorongoro. We chose Kiwoito because we wanted to go with a locally owned operator to ensure our tourist dollars most benefit the local community. Kiwoito was a great choice. The whole trip was phenomenal.
The trek was tough -- I wouldn't have made the summit if not for the encouragement of our wonderful guides, Hassan, Choda and Maca. Huge gratitude to the cook and porters who work so hard behind the scenes.
The safari portion was beyond our expectations. Thanks to our guide Lucas, we had breathtaking, very-up-close encounters with lions, rhinos, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, hippos, and more.
We've traveled a lot as a family, including a previous safari in Kenya, but this trip will definitely go down as one of our most memorable ever.

Amazing trip!
We had an incredible trip! We started in Rwanda and did a trek to see gorillas. Hamza and Patrick really came through for us, especially when we had to ask them for a last minute ride to the airport after a long day due to an airline changing one of our flights.
Then, we headed off to Tanzania for a safari tour. Noel and Emanuel were great guides who put in a lot of effort to make sure that we got to see some awesome animals in the wild. It was also great to have another Emanuel there taking photos and capturing memories so that we could enjoy the moment.
And a huge shout out to Losim for coordinating everything, especially making sure that we could enjoy our trip fully after airlines made last minute flight changes on us.
