A Once-in-a-Lifetime Adventure – It Couldn’t Have Been Better!
Eight unforgettable days on Mount Kilimanjaro were already behind me, but the adventure was far from over!
After a day of rest, I set off on a five-day safari through the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro National Parks. I was accompanied by Joseph.
It quickly became clear that Joseph really knows what he is doing. He knows the animals, understands their behaviour and knows exactly where to find them. No matter what I asked, he always had an answer. Of course, a little luck is also needed to encounter the animals at just the right place and time. And honestly, I have to say: I was incredibly lucky!
Some of my absolute highlights, which are by no means guaranteed sightings, included:
* A giraffe drinking water
* Three leopards in total
* Five rhinos in total
* A huge herd of buffalo, estimated at around 100–200 animals
* Ten lions sleeping together in one spot
But then there was one experience I could never have imagined, even in my wildest dreams: I got to witness nature up close in a way that probably very few people ever get to experience.
During the night, a buffalo from a herd I had seen earlier that evening was killed by lions directly behind my tent. At first, I couldn’t make sense of the sounds I heard during the night. It was only the following morning that Joseph explained that I had actually heard the buffalo fighting for its life and dying.
Immediately after breakfast, we drove very close to the scene and were able to observe the lions and their prey.
An absolutely extraordinary wildlife experience that will stay with me for a very long time!
All these encounters and experiences were far beyond anything I could ever have dreamed of.
Even when problems arose with my connecting flight to Zanzibar because the flight was overbooked, Ally didn’t leave me on my own. He immediately offered his help and did everything he could to make sure I arrived safely at my hotel. This is by no means something to be taken for granted and once again shows just how much he genuinely cares about his guests.
In the end, there is really only one thing left to say: THANK YOU!
Thank you to Ally, Joseph and the entire team at Making Memories in Africa for this incredible journey, all the unforgettable moments, your kindness and your outstanding work.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Making Memories in Africa to absolutely everyone. If you are looking for a trip that goes far beyond your expectations and creates memories that will last a lifetime, this is definitely the right team!
Asante sana – and hopefully until we meet again someday!

Incredible experience!
An absolutely unforgettable experience. So much more than I had hoped for. Damien was a great guide and found some incredible wildlife experiences in our 2 days visiting Tarangine and Ngorongoro. And everything was easy to book with great communication. Thanks!
