My recent trip to Tanzania was an absolute blast! I climbed Kilimanjaro followed by an epic safari through Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater! Let’s start with Kilimanjaro. Our guides were not just experts—they were legends! They knew every twist and turn of that mountain like the back of their hands. They were so friendly and cheerful the entire trip. I’ll never forget standing on top of the world with Africa spread out below us. Unforgettable!
And the food? Oh boy, it was way better than expected. Our mountain chef whipped up these incredible meals inside a tent. From amazing soups to delicious main dishes, every bite was tasted so good after a day of hiking.
But the real heroes are the porters. Those guys were superhuman. They didn’t just carry our stuff, they did it with big smiles and high fives. Their energy and spirit lifted us up when the going got tough. They made the whole experience not just doable, but downright fun.
After conquering Kili, the safari was like the cherry on top. Our safari driver took us through Tarangire and Ngorongoro. He knew exactly where to go to see the most animals. He spotted creatures we’d never even heard, like dik diks, and saravel cats, and told stories that made the savannah come alive. Seeing elephants, lions, and a zillion other creatures in their natural habitat was mind-blowing.
And the tent on safari was like something out of an old black and white movie. Bring your earplugs because the animal noises at night are both exciting and a bit terrifying.
All in all, my Tanzania adventure was beyond anything I could’ve imagined. Huge shoutout to the amazing people who made it happen—guides, chefs, porters, everyone! If you’re up for a wild ride and unforgettable memories, book your trip with Kilimanjaro Sunrise.
