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.

How to Find a Reputable Tanzania Tour Operator for Your Dream Safari

Planning a safari in Tanzania is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. From the sweeping plains of the Serengeti to the majestic peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro and the breathtaking beauty of Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania offers some of the most iconic safari experiences in the world. However, the success of your journey largely depends on the expertise of your tour operator. Choosing a reputable Tanzania tour operator ensures a seamless, enjoyable, and stress-free experience. Here’s a guide to help you make the right choice for your dream safari.

1. Research Online and Read Reviews

2. Look for Local Expertise

Choosing a tour operator based in Tanzania offers numerous advantages. Local companies have intimate knowledge of the country’s terrain, wildlife, and cultural nuances. They are better equipped to handle logistical challenges and provide authentic experiences. A tour operator in Tanzania often works with experienced guides who understand animal behavior and know the best times and places to maximize your sightings.

3. Verify Certifications and Memberships

A reputable tour operator is usually certified by relevant tourism authorities and is a member of professional associations such as the Tanzania Association of Tour Operators (TATO). These memberships indicate that the operator adheres to industry standards and best practices. Additionally, such operators are often committed to sustainable tourism practices that benefit local communities and preserve the environment.

4. Ask About Customization Options

Not all safari-goers have the same preferences. While some may want an adventure-packed experience in Serengeti National Park, others may prefer a more leisurely exploration of Tarangire or Lake Manyara. The best Tanzania safari tour operators offer customizable packages tailored to your specific interests, budget, and travel dates. They will take the time to understand your needs and create an itinerary that aligns with your expectations.

5. Assess Transparency in Pricing

Beware of operators who provide vague or overly low price estimates. A reputable operator will be upfront about costs and include details such as park fees, accommodation, transportation, and meals in their quotes. Avoid hidden charges by asking for a comprehensive breakdown of what’s included in the package. Transparency in pricing is a hallmark of trustworthy operators.

6. Prioritize Communication and Responsiveness

Good communication is critical when planning a safari. A reputable tour operator responds promptly to inquiries and provides clear, detailed answers to your questions. Whether it’s about the best time to visit or specific accommodations, their willingness to assist demonstrates their professionalism and customer care.

7. Seek Recommendations

Word-of-mouth recommendations can be invaluable. Talk to friends, family, or colleagues who have been on a Tanzanian safari and ask about their experiences. They can provide first-hand insights and recommend operators they trust. Additionally, joining online travel forums and social media groups dedicated to African safaris can help you gather suggestions and reviews.

8. Check Safety and Backup Plans

Embarking on a Tanzanian safari is a significant investment, both emotionally and financially. Choosing the right tour operator ensures your journey is unforgettable for all the right reasons. A reputable Tanzania tour operator will prioritize your safety, comfort, and satisfaction, creating a seamless adventure that exceeds expectations.

Kilimanjaro Safari in Tanzania: The Ultimate Wildlife Experience in Tanzania

Tanzania is a country renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse wildlife, and incredible safari experiences. Among its many wonders, the Kilimanjaro Safari stands out as one of the most unique and awe-inspiring adventures in the world. Kilimanjaro Safari in Tanzania offers not just the chance to see wildlife in its natural habitat but also the opportunity to explore the fascinating ecosystems that surround Africa’s highest mountain.

A Unique Setting for a Safari Adventure

Mount Kilimanjaro, standing at 5,895 meters, is the crown jewel of Tanzania and a focal point for those embarking on safaris in the region. While many associate Kilimanjaro with mountaineering and the famous climb, the area surrounding the mountain offers a distinct and rich safari experience. The lower slopes of Kilimanjaro are home to a range of habitats, from lush rainforests to open savannas, creating a unique backdrop for wildlife viewing.

Wildlife Viewing Opportunities

While Mount Kilimanjaro itself is not a traditional game reserve, the surrounding areas, such as the Amboseli National Park in Kenya and the Kilimanjaro National Park in Tanzania, offer an abundance of wildlife. A Kilimanjaro Safari allows you to venture into these areas and observe some of the world’s most iconic animals in their natural environment.

The vast plains at the base of Kilimanjaro are a perfect place to spot large herds of elephants, particularly in Amboseli, known for its excellent elephant sightings and stunning views of the mountain in the background. The region is also home to predators like lions and cheetahs, as well as a wide variety of bird species, making it a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers.

For those keen on exploring further, the nearby Arusha National Park offers the opportunity to spot giraffes, buffaloes, and a variety of monkeys while hiking through its lush landscapes, all with the towering Kilimanjaro in the background.

Cultural Immersion and Scenic Beauty

What makes a Kilimanjaro Safari truly special is the chance to immerse yourself in both the wildlife and the culture of the region. Many safaris include visits to local Maasai villages where travellers can learn about the traditions and lifestyles of one of East Africa’s most iconic tribes. The Maasai people live in close connection with the land, and their presence adds a layer of cultural depth to the safari experience.

Additionally, the sheer beauty of the region—characterized by dramatic landscapes, dense rainforests, open plains, and panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro—enhances the experience, making each moment spent on safari unforgettable.

An Adventure of a Lifetime

A Kilimanjaro Safari is not just about observing animals; it’s about connecting with the wild landscapes, witnessing the natural beauty of Tanzania, and gaining a deeper understanding of the ecosystem that surrounds Mount Kilimanjaro. Whether you’re a first-time visitor to Africa or a seasoned safari-goer, this experience offers a new level of adventure.

  In conclusion, the Kilimanjaro Safari in Tanzania with AAA Express Adventure is a must-do for any wildlife lover. With its exceptional biodiversity, stunning landscapes, and rich cultural experiences, it provides an unforgettable opportunity to see Africa at its most raw and beautiful. Whether looking for wildlife encounters, breathtaking views, or cultural immersion, a Kilimanjaro Safari offers the ultimate wildlife experience in Tanzania.

A Kilimanjaro National Park day trip is an incredible opportunity to explore one of Tanzania’s most iconic destinations without committing to a full mountain climb. Whether you’re a nature lover, an adventurer, or someone looking for a unique safari experience, this short trip offers breathtaking scenery, rich wildlife, and a glimpse of Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. Here’s everything you need to know before planning your Kilimanjaro National Park day trip.

Why Choose a Kilimanjaro National Park Day Trip?

A day trip to Kilimanjaro National Park is perfect for travelers with limited time or those not ready to climb the mountain. It allows you to experience the park’s beauty, explore its trails, and enjoy its wildlife and lush vegetation. You can hike the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, spot monkeys and exotic birds, and take in stunning views of the surrounding landscapes. It’s a rewarding adventure that’s accessible to everyone, regardless of fitness level.

Key Highlights of a Kilimanjaro National Park Day Trip

Hiking on Kilimanjaro: Walk along the lower trails, such as the Marangu Route, often called the “Coca-Cola Route.” It’s an easy and scenic trail, ideal for beginners.

Wildlife Viewing: Spot unique animals like colobus monkeys, blue monkeys, and various bird species.

Scenic Beauty: Enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro, lush rainforests, and rolling hills.

Cultural Experience: Learn about the Chagga people, the local community near the park, and their rich traditions.

What to Pack for Your Day Trip

Packing the right items will make your day trip more comfortable and enjoyable. Here’s a list of essentials:

Comfortable Shoes: Wear sturdy hiking boots or sneakers for walking on uneven terrain.

Clothing: Dress in layers to adapt to changing temperatures. Lightweight and breathable clothing is ideal for the lower slopes.

Rain Gear: The weather can change quickly, so pack a rain jacket or poncho.

Sunscreen and Hat: Protect yourself from the sun, even if it feels cool.

Water and Snacks: Stay hydrated and carry light snacks for energy.

Camera: Capture the stunning views and memorable moments.

How to Prepare for the Trip

Even though a Kilimanjaro National Park day trip doesn’t require extensive preparation, a little planning goes a long way:

Book with a Reliable Tour Operator: Choose a trusted company that specializes in Kilimanjaro National Park safaris. They will handle permits, transportation, and guides to make your trip stress-free.

Stay Nearby: Spend the night before your trip in Moshi or Arusha for an early start to the park.

Check the Weather: Know the weather forecast and pack accordingly.

Physical Readiness: While the day trip isn’t as demanding as climbing Kilimanjaro, basic fitness will help you enjoy the hike.

What to Expect During Your Day Trip

Your adventure will likely begin with an early morning pick-up from your accommodation. After a short drive to the park’s entrance, you’ll meet your guide, who will brief you about the day’s itinerary. Here’s what a typical day trip might include:

Marangu Gate Visit: This is the main entry point for many visitors. You’ll register here and start your hike.

Rainforest Hike: Walk through lush rainforests filled with unique plants and animals. The trails are well-maintained and easy to follow.

Wildlife Spotting: Keep an eye out for monkeys swinging through the trees and colorful birds flitting about.

Lunch Break: Enjoy a packed lunch in the serene surroundings of the park.

Scenic Views: Reach viewpoints that offer incredible panoramas of Mount Kilimanjaro and the surrounding landscape.

Return Journey: Head back to the gate and drive back to your accommodation.

Tips for a Memorable Experience

Start Early: Arrive at the park in the morning to make the most of your day.

Follow Your Guide’s Instructions: Listen to your guide for safety tips and information about the park.

Respect Nature: Avoid littering and follow the park’s rules to protect the environment.

Take Your Time: Enjoy the hike at a comfortable pace and soak in the beauty around you.

Best Time for a Kilimanjaro National Park Day Trip

The best time for a Kilimanjaro National Park day trip is during the dry seasons, from June to October and December to February. These months offer clear skies, making it easier to spot Mount Kilimanjaro and enjoy the trails. However, the park is open year-round, and each season has its charm.

Why Choose a Kilimanjaro National Park Safari?

A Kilimanjaro National Park safari offers more than just hiking. It’s a chance to connect with nature, learn about local culture, and witness the incredible biodiversity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whether you’re a solo traveler, a couple, or a family, this experience will leave you with unforgettable memories.

Conclusion

A Kilimanjaro National Park day trip is a perfect way to explore the natural wonders of Tanzania without committing to a multi-day climb. With its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and rich cultural experiences, the park offers something for everyone. Plan your trip, pack wisely, and get ready for an adventure that will stay with you forever. Choose a reliable operator for your Kilimanjaro National Park safari, and make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Embark on a 7-Day Tanzania Safari: Unveil Nature’s Wildest Secrets

There is a place where the world seems to expand beyond the limits of imagination, where the land is so alive it hums beneath your feet, and the horizon sways between endless skies and ancient earth. This is Tanzania, and within it lies a story, waiting to be told, written in the ink of the wilderness. A 7-Day Tanzania Safari is not just an escape; it is a passage into the untamed heart of life itself.

Day 1: Arusha — A Whisper of the Adventure to Come

The air in Arusha is thick with anticipation. It is the gateway to all things wild, where the urban bustle fades into the shadows of Mount Meru. As you arrive, the quiet power of Tanzania makes its first claim on your senses. Your guide from Signature Safari welcomes you with a smile, a gesture that feels more like the beginning of a fable. Tonight, in the serene calm of your lodge, beneath the star-laden sky, the rhythm of Africa begins to seep into your dreams. The stage is set for your 7-Day Tanzania Safari to unfold.

Day 2: Tarangire National Park — The Giants of the Land

Day two, and already the story quickens. Tarangire is a land where the earth seems to breathe with the heavy tread of elephants, their immense forms like living relics from an ancient past. Baobab trees stretch skywards like gnarled fingers, framing a landscape teeming with life. Zebras, giraffes, and lions move as if rehearsing a dance older than time itself. As your vehicle rolls through the wilderness, the air is thick with promise — the kind that stirs your blood and whispers of what’s to come.

Day 3: Lake Manyara — The Lake of Lions and Birds

A day that begins with reflection, quite literally. Lake Manyara’s glassy surface holds the sky within its grasp, as if the heavens have come down to bathe in its waters. This is a place where lions climb trees as though they, too, wish to rise closer to the sun. Pink clouds of flamingos sweep across the lake, their movements delicate, like brushstrokes on a canvas that stretches across your entire vision. The day’s sights are a poetic ode to balance — between predator and prey, water and sky, stillness and motion.

Day 4-5: Serengeti — The Endless Plain, the Timeless Tale

The Serengeti — here, the narrative of life is stripped to its rawest form. For two days, you are immersed in a world where every moment carries the weight of survival. The Great Migration unfolds like an epic, each wildebeest and zebra a wandering letter in this ancient text. Predators lurk in the grass, their patience a deadly poetry. And as the sun sinks behind the endless plains, you realize you are part of a story that has been written for millennia. The Serengeti speaks, and you listen with your heart.

Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater — Where the World Begins Again

In the Ngorongoro Crater, you descend not just into a physical place, but into the very origin of things. It is a world within a world, a basin of life where the earth cradles its wild inhabitants with a mother’s touch. Rhinos graze like armored beasts from an ancient tale, while flamingos gather at the water’s edge, their pink hues a startling contrast to the earth’s browns and greens. The crater whispers secrets older than time itself, and for a day, you are its witness.

Day 7: Return to Arusha — The End, or the Beginning?

Your 7-Day Tanzania Safari may come to an end, but like all great stories, it never truly leaves you. As you return to Arusha, the memories already begin to blur into something mythic, something that will live on in the quiet moments of your life. You may leave Tanzania, but Tanzania, in all its wild, beautiful chaos, will never leave you.
