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.

Smooth and Safe Journeys Across Tanzania

In our series of blogs, we've shared our journey through the Mount Kilimanjaro Trek via the Northern Circuit Route and our 6-day, 5-night Safari in Tanzania. Lastly, our adventure wrapped up with a visit to Zanzibar. As we travelled across the entire country, we relied on vehicles and point-to-point drivers who made our journey smooth and stress-free.

A special shout-out goes to our drivers, Ferdinando, Jackson, and Emmanuel, who expertly guided us through Tanzania’s roads.

Travelling with them was easy, and their shared insights along the way made the experience even richer. They truly were the best part of our Combined Tanzania Safari packages.

"Traveling through Tanzania felt like a breeze, with each trip adding to our adventure."

Caring Guides

First, I’ll fondly remember Ferdinando, Jackson, and Emmanuel. While they drove us across Tanzania roads, they kept sharing their stories, guiding us, and becoming our friends along the way.

Ferdinando would point out the distant peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, and Jackson would tell us about his life in Tanzania. These stories touched our hearts and gave us a real sense of care. They were aware, prompt, and kind made it a point to drive us safely from one point to another.

"Every drive was a time to connect, laugh, and learn, making the journey as special as the destinations."

Focus on Safety and Comfort

A post shared by Safari & Trekking | Tanzania (@africanscenicsafaris)

Travelling in a new country can feel challenging, but with African Scenic Safaris, everything was easy. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to our long drive from Arusha to Dar Es Salaam, everything was planned to make us feel comfortable.

The Tanzania Safari Packages we chose covered all the little details, so we could simply enjoy the ride. The vehicles were cozy, and even the long drives were enjoyable because of the wonderful company.

"We could relax and take in the beautiful scenery, knowing that everything was well taken care of."

Discovering Tanzania’s Beauty on the Road

One of the unexpected highlights of our Tanzania Safari Tour was how our drivers made every journey feel special.  It became a way to connect with the country and its people more deeply.

For instance, Ferdinando had a way of turning every drive into a story. He would share tales of Tanzania’s history as we passed by hills and valleys, making the landscape come alive with meaning.

I remember one moment when he pointed out a hill, telling us it was once part of ancient trade routes. It made us see the land in a whole new light.

Emmanuel had an eye for the little things that we might have missed. He would slow down to show us a bird resting on a branch or the way the sunset painted the sky with colours. His attention to detail turned simple drives into moments of wonder, reminding us to soak in the beauty around us.

Thus, our entire Travel in Tanzania was filled with stories, laughter, and a growing bond with the country. The enthusiasm with which they shared their world made us feel that they were sharing a little part of their heart with us!

“Every mile on the road in Tanzania became a story, a connection, and a memory, thanks to the incredible people who guided us along the way.”

What’s Next?

In the final part of our adventure, I’ll talk about why African Scenic Safaris is truly the best in Tanzania Tourism.

Their commitment to great service and Responsible Tourism made our trip not just a vacation, but a meaningful experience.

Stay tuned as I share the final chapter of our incredible journey with the Best Tanzania Tour Operator, the African Scenic Safaris!
