Safari

We came to Tanzania to climb the mountain and did not expect our side trip to safari became the best part of this trip, in fact, it was the best trip we have ever taken before.

Campsite in dawn

The safari was mostly done in Toyota Land Cruiser with the customized roof could pop up so we can stand up to look at the animals. Our guide/driver, Godwill, was knowledgeable and friendly and Chef dada ("sister" in Swahili) made delicious food for us, typically 3 course meals.


We visited three national park – Serengeti, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. The animal life there were amazing, we saw animals non-stop, we even saw lots of animals along the road to there!

We saw all Big Five mammals - elephant, lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo.
