We are dealing with a 82 years old Grandma that cannot decide yet.

This journey blends breathtaking landscapes with immersive cultural encounters—from the vibrant traditions of the Maasai people in Kenya to the warm hospitality and rich heritage of the Chagga community in Tanzania. Along the way, you'll visit authentic villages, share stories with local elders, experience traditional dances, and explore daily life as it has been preserved for generations.

Would like to know if the advertised price of US $3750 is complete and that there are no other additional add on as far the tour goes. Also, would like to take a balloon ride on the serengeti, is that included? If not how much more is it? Is it possible to see the wildebeest migration if I take the tour in mid August (~17 or 18 th)?

Based on your requested travel dates, this tour is available as a private safari, and the cost for 1 person is USD 6,968. Group safaris typically operate in the Central Serengeti and do not include the Northern Serengeti, where the Great Migration and river crossings can be witnessed. Group tours to the North Serengeti are not available due to the distance and logistics involved.

Please disclose the accommodation in Serengety for day 7, 8, 9

The accommodation in Serengeti is not currently included in the listed price. We are working on updating this and will include both the Serengeti accommodation and the park fees for the entire trip.

Embarking on 7-day Kilimanjaro climbing expedition via Lemosho route was a life-altering adventure that pushed the boundaries of my physical mental strength. The lemosho route gradual ascent allowed for acclimatization while the breathtaking landscapes shifted from lush rainforests to alpine desolation. Our dedicated team from Africa Natural Tours provide unwavering support from expert guides sharing their knowledge of the Mountai's ecology to the porters tireless efforts to ensure Our comfort. Summit night was a test of resilience under a sky adorned with stars, and as well reached Uhuru Peak, the sunrise painted a canvas of accomplishment beyond words. This journey not only conquered Africa's highest peak but also unlocked a profound belief in the power of determination. If you seek an Unforgettable challenge with soul-strring rewards,

  In Moshi, especially on Day 5 and Day 6, you will enjoy overnights at the Kilimanjaro White House Hotel, perfectly positioned for a clear and stunning view of Africa's highest mountain. June is part of Tanzania's dry season, offering crisp mornings and golden sunsets—both perfect moments to witness the mountain's snow-capped summit in all its glory right from your hotel's vantage point.
