Photo safari to Tanzania Jan. 2024, part 1

Nancy and I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go on a photo safari. A friend of Nancy's mentioned she was leaving in 30 days for her 30th trip to Africa. Nancy said that would be cool and her friend said “come with us.” So we did.

Ruth and Bob had been with our guide Raffy recently and he was starting his own guide service. So here we are on a 10-day safari with a new business owner who is going to pull out all the stops for his first clients. Plus Ruth is almost as knowledgeable about the birds and animals of Africa herself.

Above is Ruth, Nancy, Dana and Bob at the gateway to the Serengeti about day 7 of our adventure.

Here is Raffy, Nancy and Ruth having breakfast in the middle of the Ndutu Conservation Area. This is typical of our days. We are always the first jeep out of camp as the sun is just lightening the sky. After several hours of viewing lions, zebras, wildebeest, and gazelle. Raffy parks us in the open and we break out the breakfast provided by the camp.

Did we get to see animals up close?

You bet we saw them all, here is a tonsil check on a male lion of the Upper and Lower Marsh Pride. Hopefully, I have your attention and will start over at the beginning of the journey.

Nancy and I flew Miami-Philly-Doha, Qatar on American Airlines. Doha is about the cleanest prettiest airport in the world. Since we had a 7 hour break there and needed to get on Tanzania time. We opted for a private cubicle to sleep in. Pay by the hour, nice bunks and just what we needed. Leaving Doha at 0115 in the morning we flew 5 hours to Killamanjaro Airport (JRO) in Tanzania.

Changing of the Guard. Turns out that the Captain flying us from Miami to Philadelphia is none other than a former First Officer of mine in Miami, Brandon Lozano. On our flight was his soon-to-be in-laws, Dawn and Mike. We have to get back quickly from this journey since we are invited to Brandon and Jackie’s wedding in Key Largo. Super smooth flight, Capt. thanks for the ride!

Doha airport and Nancy in our “Sleep N’ Fly” bunk room.

Kilimanjaro Airport and Qatar aircraft we arrived on. My visa had been approved prior to the trip but Nancy’s had not. Turned out not to be a big deal, and they allowed her in the country. Everyone we met in Tanzania could not have been nicer, starting with the Customs and Immigration officials. This country knows their future lies with tourism. Every person we met including all the camp staff, asked us to tell our friends about Tanzania and to come back soon.

This is “Simba” a 10-year-old 300,000-mile 4-wheel drive Toyota Jeep Land Cruiser. Raffy and John met us at the airport and drove us to our first lodge, Shamba. We were the only guests at the five-cabin lodge. Outstanding staff and great food. “Simba” is Swahili for Elephant.

This cabin has a loft with a huge bed upstairs, bath and kitchen downstairs.

Mosquito nets surrounding the beds is standard in Africa. Even though there very heavy rains the weeks before we arrived, we only had one or two mosquito bites.

Sitting by the “Camp TV” in the evenings as it chilled down. Nancy at dinner.

While we waited for Ruth and Bob to arrive in Arusha, Tanzania. We spent one day with Raffy in Arusha National Park. This was going to be our appetizer for the parks. A small park but it did have a monkey we would not see in any other park. So we got to see our first giraffe, elephant, zebras and baboons.

Once into the park, Raffy took a side road through the heavy woods. It was a road less traveled. Which is Raffy’s style. We ran across several giraffes which made the entire safari worthwhile in Nancy’s eyes. Things would only get better. The only giraffe in Tanzania is the Masai Giraffe.

Above is a very elusive “Harvey’s Red Duiker”, which is a very small deer. We saw a couple and were lucky to get this photo. I think they get the prize for the homeliest-looking deer.

This is the seventh-highest mountain in Africa, Mt. Meru at 14,980 ft. It is inside the park. Many hikers spend three days hiking up to the summit. Each group of hikers is required to have 2 armed Rangers to protect them from predators.

Above Nancy is standing up in the jeep and taking photos. Tremendous viewing with the top raised.

Nancy face to face with her first of many elephants. This is an older male. He was a half mile behind a female with a juvenile. Elephants have 7 sets of teeth. They wear each of the sets out in about 10 years. This guy was probably on his last set. He was not in great shape. You may have heard about elephant graveyards. Where there are multiple elephant skeletons. These graveyards are in the easiest food-gathering places for elephants that have lost their teeth. Once they lose their teeth they basically starve to death.

This is our lunch break at a park site, that provides picnic tables and restrooms. Armed park rangers are nearby and ready to escort hikers to the top of the Mt. Meru.

This is life in a third-world country. Using gravity, not much to break; just saying….

Out of permitted photos. check out part 2. above.

Experience the Thrill of Gorilla Tracking and Serengeti Safari in One Trip

Taking a trip that combines the thrilling activity of gorilla tracking with the breathtaking Serengeti safari is a wildlife lover's dream. Twiga Tours makes this dream a reality, providing carefully designed itineraries that ensure unforgettable expeditions to East Africa.

With Twiga Tours, visitors can experience both wildlife wonders in a single expertly designed itinerary. This double adventure combines up-close-and-personal primate encounters with the traditional Big Five safari experience. In this blog, we will walk you through planning this ultimate adventure, what to look forward to, and how to make the most out of it.

Gorilla Tracking: A Unique Adventure

Where to Go

Gorilla tracking is undertaken mainly in two countries of East Africa:

Uganda: Within Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, where there are almost half of all the world's remaining mountain gorillas.

Rwanda: Within Volcanoes National Park, which has good trekking trails and easy access.

Twiga Tours provides selective gorilla tracking packages with permits, local guides, luxury lodges, and cultural interactions with local people.

What to Expect

Physical fitness is required to a moderate degree, as hikes can be 2 to 8 hours long based on gorilla sightings. After your group tracks down a gorilla family, you get one enchanting hour with them. You'll see their social interaction — from rambunctious juveniles rolling in the bushes to the dominant-looking silverback guarding his group.

Tips for Gorilla Tracking

Book in advance: Particularly in high seasons. Daily gorilla tracking permits are restricted by Uganda and Rwanda.

Dress for the part: Long sleeves, waterproof boots, gloves, and gaiters prevent insects and terrain.

Take a good camera: But no flash! 

Hire a porter: Not only do they assist in carrying your equipment, but they benefit local communities directly.

Gorilla tracking is a moving and humbling experience — one that leaves visitors with a profound feeling of reverence and conservation consciousness.

Serengeti Safari: The Ultimate Wildlife Encounter

Tanzania's Serengeti National Park is world-famous for its wide plains and rich wildlife. A Serengeti safari provides the opportunity to see the fabled "Big Five" as well as the spectacular Great Migration. Twiga Tours' "Glimpse of Serengeti & the Ngorongoro" package offers a complete safari experience with game drives complemented by visits to the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Highlights of the Serengeti Safari with Twiga Tours:

Expert Safari Guides: Informed guides accompany you around the Serengeti, offering information about the ecosystem and wildlife habits.

Game Drives: Enjoy exhilarating game drives that leave you face to face with Africa's most revered creatures.

Cultural Experiences: Interact with Maasai locals and gain insight into their culture and lifestyle.

Comfortable Accommodation: Relax in tastefully designed lodges and camps that provide comfort in the midst of nature.

Tips for a Serengeti Safari

Layered clothing: Mornings are cold, but by midday it quickly warms up.

Binoculars: For the best wildlife viewing during game drives.

Be flexible: Game drives go where animals move — at times the best view comes with waiting.

Twiga Tours personalizes every Serengeti safari to the traveler's pace and comfort, so you never have to leave a glimpse behind.

Gorilla Tracking and Serengeti Safari Combo

Twiga Tours provides customized itineraries that blend gorilla tracking in Rwanda and Serengeti safari with perfect ease. This gives the traveler the opportunity to see the varied landscapes and wildlife of East Africa on one single trip.

Mahale Mountains National Park Safari Guide – Everything You Need to Know

Nestled in western Tanzania’s Kigoma Region, Mahale Mountains National Park is a remote gem perched along the eastern shores of Lake Tanganyika—Africa’s longest and second-deepest lake. Spanning 1,613 square kilometers, the park is defined by the striking Mahale Mountain range, where lush forested slopes cascade gracefully toward the lake’s crystal-clear waters.

How to Get to the Mahale Mountains National Park?

Getting to Mahale might take a little effort, but we promise—it’s worth every step.

Most travellers fly into Arusha or Dar es Salaam, then take a scheduled charter flight to either Katilani or Mahale airstrip. From there, it’s a scenic boat ride along Lake Tanganyika to your lodge or camp. This journey is a highlight in itself, offering stunning views of the lake and lush forested mountains.

Booking a Mahale Mountains National Park Tour through a trusted operator like Halisia Afrika ensures seamless travel, expert guides, and insider knowledge that makes all the difference.

Best Time to Go to the Mahale Mountains National Park

The best time to enjoy a Mahale Mountains National Park safari is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, the chimpanzees tend to stay closer to the lower mountain slopes, making them easier to find and observe. The weather is sunny, the trails are manageable, and Lake Tanganyika is ideal for swimming and boating.

However, the park is open year-round, and each season offers something different — lush green scenery in the wet months and fewer crowds.

Things To Do in Mahale Mountains

There’s more to Mahale than just chimp trekking. Here’s what else you can look forward to:

Chimpanzee Trekking – Follow expert trackers into the rainforest to meet habituated chimp families up close.

Swimming & Snorkelling – Lake Tanganyika is crystal clear and safe for swimming—a rare treat in Africa.

Birdwatching – Spot over 350 bird species, from fish eagles to colourful turacos.

Start Planning Your Unforgettable Mahale Safari

Best Time to Climb Mount Kilimanjaro: Expert Tips from Fair Safaris Online

Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, stands as a dream destination for adventure seekers from all around the world. With its snow-capped summit rising over Tanzania’s scenic landscapes, it offers one of the most rewarding trekking experiences imaginable. However, timing your climb properly can make a significant difference between an enjoyable journey and a tough, unpredictable one. Here, Fair Safaris Online shares expert tips on the best time to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for the most memorable experience.

Understanding Kilimanjaro’s Climate

Kilimanjaro’s weather is heavily influenced by its altitude and the two main rainy seasons in Tanzania. The mountain has five distinct climatic zones, ranging from tropical rainforest at the base to Arctic conditions at the summit. Rain, snow, and extreme temperatures are all possible depending on the season and elevation.

The two main rainy periods are:

Long Rains: Late March to May

Short Rains: November to early December

Best Months to Climb Kilimanjaro

The best times to climb Mount Kilimanjaro are during the dry seasons:

January to Early March

This period is considered one of the best windows for a Kilimanjaro climb. The weather is relatively dry, and the skies are generally clear. Trekkers can enjoy stunning views across the plains of Tanzania. It’s slightly colder compared to later months, but the crowds are smaller, offering a more peaceful experience.

June to October

June to October is the most popular time to climb Kilimanjaro, coinciding with Tanzania’s dry season and major international holidays. Conditions are typically dry and sunny, making it easier for climbers of all skill levels. Because of the popularity of this period, it’s important to book your Kilimanjaro Climb And Safari Package well in advance to secure the best guides and accommodations.

What About the Rainy Seasons?

While it’s technically possible to climb during the rainy seasons, it’s usually not recommended unless you are an experienced trekker prepared for heavy rains and muddy trails. Visibility may be limited, and the summit can be cloud-covered, diminishing the breathtaking views that climbers come for.

However, some adventurers prefer the low season for its tranquility and discounted tour rates. If you choose this time, be prepared for the added challenges that come with it.

Combining Your Kilimanjaro Climb With a Safari or Zanzibar Trip

Many travelers enhance their adventure by combining their trek with an unforgettable Tanzanian safari or a beach getaway. For instance, Fair Safaris Online offers convenient packages like the Kilimanjaro Safari And Zanzibar Package, allowing climbers to experience the thrill of the mountain and then unwind on the sandy beaches of Zanzibar. Alternatively, a Kilimanjaro And Safari Package can give you the best of Tanzania’s wildlife parks, including Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire, before or after your climb.

Nearby Areas to Explore

If you have extra time in your itinerary, consider visiting:

Must Know Facts About Masai Mara And Serengeti Safari Tours

If you are a bird lover or in search of adventure, then safaris like rigorous bird watching might be a dream come true for such people as Tanzania has made its mark as one of the best combinations in Africa with Masai Mara And Serengeti safari tours. Matching these legendary destinations is some of the richest and most diverse avian offerings anywhere in the continent against the backdrop of those iconic landscapes and the immense drama of wildlife.

Bird Watching Safari in Tanzania

Tanzania is home to well above 1,100 species of birds including both resident and migratory species, thus making it a paradise for birdwatchers. They are to be found in different habitats across the vast ecosystems in the tropic wetlands like Rift Valley, among woodlands of Tarangire, and on the endless savannah of Serengeti which offer the most wonderful habitat ideal for birds of all types. Apart from that, other parks such as Arusha National park, Lake Manyara, and through two major parks can prove their certificate for the exotic bird watching. Should you be lucky enough, you will be able to glimpse the Lilac-breasted Roller, Fischer's Lovebird, and perhaps even the rare Shoebill Stork.

Masai Mara And Serengeti Safari Tours

Bird watching safari Tanzania immerses visitors entirely into nature and life. Guided by an expert team of birders, visitors will learn to identify birds by their calls and flight patterns; this makes the experience educational and exhilarating.

More Than Just the Great Migration

While the Serengeti is known all over the world for the Great Migration, it is equally impressive with the birdlife. With over 500 species in this area, serious birders will want to check this box. Keep an eye out for Secretary Birds walking through the grasslands, breathtakingly beautiful bee-eaters snatching insects out of the air, and raptors gliding swiftly with the wind.

Bird watching here can easily be combined with game drives, where lions, elephants, and cheetahs roam freely.

Epic Adventures: Kilimanjaro Treks and Tanzania Honeymoons

Introduction to Tanzania’s Dual Delights

Tanzania, a land where rugged peaks kiss the sky and vast savannahs teem with life, offers a rare blend of adventure and romance. For couples dreaming of an unforgettable start to their journey together, the country serves up two extraordinary experiences: Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Packages and Tanzania Honeymoon Safari Experiences. Imagine scaling Africa’s highest mountain, hand in hand, then unwinding amidst the wild beauty of a safari, where elephants roam and sunsets paint the plains. This article uncovers how these twin

 pursuits weave a tapestry of thrill and intimacy, perfect for newlyweds seeking a honeymoon like no other.

Nestled in East Africa, Tanzania’s diverse landscapes—from the snow-capped summit of Kilimanjaro to the endless Serengeti—beckon those who crave both challenge and connection. It’s a destination where love can soar to new heights and deepen in the quiet moments of nature’s embrace, making it an ideal canvas for a once-in-a-lifetime escape.

Exploring Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Packages

The allure of Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Packages lies in their promise of adventure wrapped in accessibility. At 5,895 meters, Kilimanjaro stands as the world’s tallest free-standing mountain, a dormant volcano that draws couples to test their limits together. These packages cater to all levels, offering routes that range from the gentle slopes of the Marangu trail—complete with cozy huts—to the scenic, rugged Lemosho path, where misty rainforests give way to alpine deserts.

Each trek is a journey through ecosystems as varied as the emotions of a new marriage. Couples start in lush forests, alive with colobus monkeys swinging overhead, then climb past heather-draped moorlands to stark, glacier-crowned summits. Packages typically span five to nine days, with expert guides pacing the ascent to ease altitude’s bite. The summit push, often under a starlit sky, culminates in a sunrise atop Uhuru Peak—a shared triumph that etches itself into a couple’s story. For honeymooners, it’s a bonding crucible, where every step builds resilience and every view fuels awe.

Tanzania Honeymoon Safari Experiences: Romance in the Wild

After conquering the mountain, Tanzania Honeymoon Safari Experiences offer a softer, yet equally spellbinding chapter. Picture this: a private 4x4 winding through the Serengeti, where lions doze in acacia shade and giraffes nibble treetops against a golden horizon. These safaris are tailor-made for romance, blending luxury with the raw pulse of the wild. Newlyweds can sip champagne in a tented camp, serenaded by distant hyena calls, or share a quiet breakfast as zebras graze nearby.

The Northern Circuit—encompassing Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire—delivers a front-row seat to nature’s drama. In Ngorongoro, a volcanic caldera cradles a dense tapestry of wildlife, from rhinos to flamingos, offering intimate game drives that feel worlds away from the ordinary. Tarangire’s baobab-studded plains burst with elephant herds, while the Serengeti might unveil the Great Migration’s thundering herds—a spectacle of life’s raw energy. For couples, it’s a chance to unwind, reflect, and let the wild weave its magic into their love story.

Crafting the Perfect Dual Adventure

Pairing Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Packages with Tanzania Honeymoon Safari Experiences creates a honeymoon that balances exertion with ease. Start with the climb—a test of teamwork and tenacity—then transition to the safari’s laid-back luxury, where the only challenge is spotting the Big Five. Many packages seamlessly blend the two, offering a week on the mountain followed by three to five days in the bush, with transfers from Moshi to Arusha smoothing the shift.

The trek’s physical demands forge a deep connection, as couples lean on each other through steep scrambles and thin air. Guides ensure safety, pacing the ascent to acclimatize, while porters lighten the load, leaving room for shared moments—like a quiet laugh over a campfire or a hand held at dawn. The safari, by contrast, is pure indulgence: plush lodges, gourmet meals under the stars, and private guides who turn every drive into a love letter to Tanzania’s wild heart. It’s a rhythm of push and pull, effort and reward, that mirrors the dance of a new marriage.

Why Tanzania Stands Out for Honeymooners

Tanzania’s appeal for newlyweds lies in its contrasts. Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Packages deliver a bucket-list feat—standing atop Africa’s roof—while Tanzania Honeymoon Safari Experiences wrap couples in the romance of untamed wilderness. Few places offer such a potent mix: the adrenaline of a summit sunrise followed by the serenity of a crater’s edge, all within a single trip.

The country’s dry seasons—January to March and June to October—align perfectly with both activities, offering clear skies for climbing and prime wildlife viewing as animals cluster around waterholes. For migration enthusiasts, timing a late summer or early autumn safari catches the wildebeest’s epic trek. Add in Tanzania’s warm hospitality—guides who share Swahili tales, chefs who craft meals from local harvests—and it’s a honeymoon steeped in culture as much as adventure.

Tips for a Memorable Journey

Planning this dual escape requires a few key moves. For Mount Kilimanjaro Trekking Packages, pick a route matching your fitness—longer trails like Lemosho boost summit odds with better acclimatization. Train with hikes and cardio months ahead, and pack layers for the mountain’s wild weather swings. On the safari leg, opt for intimate camps over crowded lodges to savor the quiet thrill of the bush. A light telephoto lens captures both Kilimanjaro’s vistas and a cheetah’s sprint without weighing you down.

Hydration is king on the climb—drink plenty to fend off altitude woes—while a slow pace (or “pole pole” in Swahili) keeps energy high. For safaris, early mornings catch animals at their liveliest, and a journal preserves fleeting moments—like the first elephant sighting or the summit’s icy breath. With Tanzania’s vastness, a few extra days ensure you soak it all in.

Ever Wondered What’s Inside a Kilimanjaro Climbing Package? Here’s the Truth

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is one of those rare adventures that blend physical challenge, natural beauty, and a deep sense of accomplishment. But before you lace up your boots and book a flight to Tanzania, there’s one big question you need answered: What do Kilimanjaro climbing packages actually include?

1. Pick-Up and Drop-Off Services

Most Climb Mount Kilimanjaro Packages begin with convenient airport transfers. Whether you’re landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) or arriving by shuttle from Nairobi, a good package will ensure you’re picked up and dropped off safely at your hotel in towns like Moshi or Arusha.

2. Pre- and Post-Climb Lodging

A comfortable night’s sleep before your trek and a well-deserved rest afterward is part of almost all Tanzania Mountain Climbing Packages. These usually include one or two nights in a hotel, with upgrades available depending on your budget and preferences.

Locations like Moshi are popular launching points, but places like Marangu and Machame are also commonly used depending on your chosen route.

3. Entry Fees and Permits

Kilimanjaro is protected land, so every climber must pay park fees. Thankfully, these are usually rolled into your tour package cost and include:

Kilimanjaro National Park entrance fees

Camping or hut accommodation fees

Rescue service fees

Conservation fees

These can add up to a few hundred dollars, so it’s always best to confirm they’re included in your quote.

4. Your Crew: Guides, Porters, and Cooks

A successful Kilimanjaro trek relies heavily on your team. Packages often include a certified mountain guide, assistant guides for larger groups, porters to carry your gear, and cooks who keep you fueled with warm, hearty meals.

A reputable Kilimanjaro tour package Tanzania ensures that the team is trained, well-equipped, and paid fairly. They’re not just staff — they’re your lifeline on the mountain.

5. Camping Gear and Equipment

Unless you’re taking the Marangu Route (which has huts), most packages provide tents, dining shelters, sleeping mats, and other camping gear. High-end packages may offer private toilets and dining tents with chairs and tables.

Personal items like sleeping bags, trekking poles, or headlamps are usually available for rent if you don’t want to bring your own.

6. Meals and Hydration

Good nutrition and proper hydration are key to a successful summit. You can expect:

Three nutritious meals per day while on the mountain

Boiled or filtered water for drinking

Special meals for vegetarians or those with dietary restrictions (just let your operator know in advance)

Food is typically tailored to provide energy and comfort — think soups, pasta, rice, eggs, and snacks between meals.

7. Emergency Support and Health Checks

Altitude sickness is real, and a good tour package won’t take it lightly. Many providers include:

Twice-daily health checks

First-aid kits and oxygen cylinders

Emergency evacuation procedures (some even have helicopter access)

What’s Usually Not Included?

While many essentials are covered, you’ll want to budget for:

International airfare

Visa fees

Travel insurance

Tipping guides and porters (an important local custom)

Personal climbing gear

Additional hotel nights or excursions

Climbing Kilimanjaro is a once-in-a-lifetime experience — but only if you’re properly prepared. Understanding what’s included in your package helps you avoid surprises and focus on what really matters: reaching the Roof of Africa.
