    Wow! The Safari was amazing! The guide was very friendly, attentive and good. Also the food was very delicious!!! The german of the guide is very good and easy to understand! In comparison to other safari companies the price-performance ratio is very good. We did the safari as a family with both kids over 18 so sitting all day lolg in the safari car wasn’t a problem. Also the tour operator and the guide checked on us often so we felt like we were in very good hands! Amazing expirience that we can really recommend.

      I was checking the records of the Kilimanjaro short records, The short Kilimanjaro trekking like 3 days will not take you up to uhuru peak. This is because of the challenges of the mountain
