Hello everyone,

I imagine many of you have been captivated by the Masai Mara park and/or your safari experience with Tony Crocetta/Melting Pot Safari. Still, I’d like to share my perspective. First, I’m an avid traveler, especially in love with Africa, which my partner and I have explored a bit (Zambia, South Africa, Botswana, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Namibia...). That said, I want to express my deep disappointment with both the Masai Mara and Tony Crocetta’s camp, Melting Pot Safari, where we stayed last year.

First, about the park: it’s stunning, no doubt. But what a highly touristy place! I can’t find the words to describe the horror of being among 30 4x4 vehicles lined up in front of a lioness hunt, let alone encircling her right after her kill while her prey is still alive in her jaws... no respect for wildlife. The same goes for surrounding a young leopard playing with its small prey, a moment when I counted over 50 vehicles, most with their engines running... sickening. I turned away, both my gaze and my camera. What a disaster to see this natural wonder of Africa turned into a tourist hotspot.

Yes, I loved this place on Earth, but no, I won’t "promote" it anywhere or to anyone.

Next, I also wanted to share my dissatisfaction with Tony Crocetta’s famous camp, Melting Pot Safari: where to begin? We booked a private vehicle for four with two friends, and I have no complaints about the vehicle itself (though it obviously came at a cost). The windows and the vehicle weren’t very photo-friendly, but let’s move on. The trip between the sisters’ guesthouse (which was fine) and the camp went smoothly, except we arrived a bit too late. Result: "We’ll leave for the safari an hour later today because the driver has to respect his rest hours." Perfect—with park formalities, we only spent about an hour in the park that evening. The safari got off to a great start... During our 12-day stay, we saw some amazing things. Tony wasn’t at the camp—I don’t know what the atmosphere is like when he’s there, but it was rather cold during our trip. Sylvie, his wife, barely looked at us, never asking how our day, night, or game drive went (I think she spoke to us once during the stay, plus the day we arrived, of course). We felt invisible... (if I were mean, I’d say the money had already been deposited into Melting Pot’s bank account.) The evening meals, if I may say so, were a joke: not enough dessert (aside from fruit, but the few elaborate desserts—like 10 for 18 guests) for everyone, barely enough meat or sides. If you were unlucky like us and ended up with a group of 15 people who decided to skip the starter, you’d better hurry to get your main course, or there might not be any left—and no refills... We always ate our fill, but sometimes we had to serve ourselves in advance. Finally, I want to correct something about the quality of the meals: seriously, this buffet was really mediocre and far from the culinary standards I’d read about in my pre-trip research (see their Facebook page). Anyway, let’s move past the food—after all, the avocados were sublime, and we’re not there primarily to eat.

About the tent: the river views were beautiful, and the beds were very comfortable. No running water, individual showers outside the tent, and dry toilets—but it’s Africa, so we weren’t shocked. However, I’m disappointed that for this "modest" price, I wasn’t warned there’d be no soap (and no, I don’t travel with my own soap—and for the price, a little bar in the tent wouldn’t be a luxury). But let’s move on—the hippo views were fantastic. Oh, and to preserve the Masai Mara’s water (which makes sense) and for hygiene reasons, underwear isn’t washed by the camp staff—fair enough. But then what’s that little sign next to the bed? Oh right, for a hefty sum, underwear suddenly becomes "washable"...

Finally, my biggest gripe is about the essential part: the game drives. In France, they sell you a dream with a "photo safari" (what’s the difference, really? A room with a few more electrical outlets?). They promise guides especially suited for photography (not a given, sorry) and vehicles that can get close to animals and go off-road... but here’s the catch: the guides are bound by park laws and hounded by rangers looking to fine rule-breakers. Result: as soon as a white ranger vehicle is spotted, we have to abandon our spot for a wild chase through the grass. Fun once... The next day, we learned that another group’s guide got caught and had to pay $100 for breaking the rules—a sum he casually asked the travelers in his vehicle to cover... because of course, Melting Pot lures tourists with dreams, the poor rangers try to get close, all while breaking park laws... and they break those laws for Crocetta’s company, which, of course, won’t dip into its profits to pay the fines. Basically, it’s "keep the clients happy, but don’t get fined—or the fines are on you or you’ll have to ask the clients directly." Nice boss! Anyway, there were long discussions about this last year, especially among the guests in the fined vehicle. My partner and I found these practices unacceptable, and we were deeply disappointed by this attitude.

I know many people adore this park and/or this company—maybe you were luckier... or maybe you’re less demanding than we are when it comes to respecting rules, nature, and clients. But after traveling through much of southern Africa, I can tell you we personally came back frustrated from this experience and aren’t eager to return... You’ve been warned.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a safari and I’m torn between Kenya and Tanzania. I’ve read quite a few articles online, and one in particular really helped me see things more clearly. I’m now leaning more toward Kenya for its authentic vibe and local culture, but I’d love to hear some opinions before making my final decision.

Have any of you hesitated between these two destinations? Even better, has anyone done a safari in both countries? What were the factors that tipped the scales for you? I’d love to hear all your experiences!

While I wait for your replies, and if it might be helpful to some, I’ll share the article I found really useful on the topic.

Thanks in advance for your tips! Fabien A.

Hi there! 🙂

Once again, I’m back looking for advice

So, here’s the thing: in September, I’m planning a trip to Africa. There’ll be four of us—my husband, my 24-year-old daughter, my 20-year-old son, and me.

I’ve had this idea in my head for a while, but now it’s starting to feel real. The tricky part is that I’m on team "I organize my trip without an agency and handle things on the spot." But here’s the catch—my husband, who’s usually up for anything, doesn’t want to hear about a do-it-yourself trip. From what I’ve gathered, only Namibia allows that if I’m not mistaken. But if it’s possible in Tanzania (or maybe Kenya), I think I could convince him.

Anyway, here’s my first double question—more will probably follow! Can you travel without an agency in Tanzania? If not, which agency would you recommend, given that I live in Belgium?

Thanks so much in advance for your help!

Jambo! J'ai organisé mon voyage grâce à ce type de groupe donc je me permets de donner mon expérience ici. Nous sommes partis à 4 dont 2 enfants de 9 et 11 ans. Après avoir fait une demande d'une vingtaine de devis, j'ai choisi de faire la partie safari avec MAKING MEMORIES IN AFRICA. Ally a répondu rapidement et écouté toutes mes demandes contrairement à d'autres agences : un guide francophone , l'ordre de visite des parcs (Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti puis Ngorongoro) et un mix entre hôtels petit budget et camping pour diminuer le coût. Ils étaient encore 4 dans la balance et c'est le prix qui m'a décidé. Malgré qu'ils soient les moins chers, j'ai eu l'impression d'être mieux servi que d'autres par exemple pour les repas qui ont tous été concoctés par un cuisinier masai, Louis, qui nous a accompagné tout au long du séjour alors que certains mangeaient des repas dans des boîtes en carton. Samuel, le guide nous a expliqué une multitude de choses et a répondu à toutes nos questions. José nous a conduit jusqu'à bon port. Tout ça, dans la bonne humeur ! A la fin du séjour, Ally est venu à notre rencontre et nous a offert des t-shirt à l'effigie de l'agence, nous avons trouvé cela super qu'ils viennent à notre rencontre pour avoir nos impressions. Bref je recommande +++ d'autant que c'est une agence locale qui aide également une association pour les femmes et les enfants. Pour Zanzibar, organisation par moi même. J'ai longtemps hésité mais j'ai finalement pris les 4 nuits au même endroit. Nous n'aimons pas la foule, je visais Jambiani mais j'ai trouvé EVERGREEN BUNGALOWS à Bwejuu. Nous avons pris le premier transfert aéroport/hôtel avec eux car nous arrivions de nuit et cela me paraissait plus sûr. Très bon rapport qualité/prix, à notre goût. Par contre attention, on est assez isolé : idéal pour chiller et faire des excursions. Très peu de sollicitations sur la plage contrairement à ce que j'avais lu sur Zanzibar. On vit les pieds dans le sable du matin au soir, petite bassine d'eau devant la chambre pour se les nettoyer. Joli endroit ! J'avais demandé quelques tarifs pour les excursions avant de partir mais nous avons pris sur place. Pas à notre hôtel mais auprès d'un restaurant à côté qui était moins cher. Après réflexion, étant basé à Bwejuu, je souhaitais faire Blue Lagoon et Pungume(les 2 partant du sud de Zanzibar). Blue Lagoon : environ 3h de temps en tout, snorkelling sur un petit récif plein de poissons (coraux pas top) puis arrêt sur un spot avec de très nombreuses étoiles de mer, avec snacks locaux, fruits et boissons.Pungume: super journée avec une chance sur 2 de voir les dauphins (raté pour nous), passage vers des mangroves puis snorkelling sur un spot avec quelques jolis coraux et bien sûr des poissons avant une super grillade(thon, crevettes, calamars, langouste, frites) sur un banc de sable à l'abri du soleil. Enfin, avant de rejoindre Stone town, nous sommes allés à Paje cave beaucoup moins connu que Maalum: plus petite, on a vu des chauves-souris, on s'est baigné puis on est a nourri les poules et lapins(très bien pour les enfants). et pour finir, visite de Stone town par nous même avec repas au Forodhani market. Pour l'avion, nous sommes partis avec Turkish airlines depuis Barcelone jusqu'au Kilimandjaro et retour depuis Zanzibar : très bien. Par contre le trajet Kilimandjaro -Zanzibar avec Precision Air, je ne le recommande pas: pas de bagage à l'arrivée...et d'après l'hôtel, ça arrive souvent. Nous ne les avons eu qu'un jour et demi après.

(re)Bonjour,

Dans le cadre de mon organisation d'un safari avec Philipo Kimgoni, j'aurais voulu savoir quelles ont été les expériences de lecteurs du forum lors de la visite de tribus au Lac Eyasi.

J'avoue être un peu réservé sur ce que je lis là-dessus, notamment ici même un message de 2018 de Rotsaka. Ayant fait ce genre d'expériences ailleurs, je ne suis pas trop à l'aise avec les visites organisées à des "tribus" autochtones, d'abord à cause du côté très organisé, souvent sous couvert d'authenticité et je me dis toujours que ce n'est pas nécessairement très favorable à la préservation de cultures rares et encore très fermées de voir défiler des touristes toute l'année. Mais en même temps celle-ci est peut-être réellement très différente? D'autre part je ne vois pas forcément ce que nous ferions à la place avant de rentrer à Arusha, quelles sont les alternatives, ou alors un jour de plus au Serengeti ou Ngorongoro mais j'imagine que le prix augmenterait drastiquement.

Merci bien!

Meilleures salutations,

Yvan

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to go to Kenya next year for a safari trip across a few parks. I’ll be traveling solo!

I’m having trouble understanding how lodges and safaris work! My first questions are:

1-Do I need to find an agency that handles lodges and safaris? Or 2-Should I book lodges through Expedia or similar and then reserve activities (safaris or others) that these lodges offer?

This will help me figure out how to organize everything and whether I should focus on an agency or the lodges themselves.

Thanks!

Hi there!

What a pleasure to be back on this forum—I thought it had closed down? If it has indeed reopened, that’s fantastic news! :)

My wife and I are heading to Kenya for three weeks starting August 30th, and I’d love some help fine-tuning our itinerary and answering a few questions. Here’s the rough draft I’ve put together:

08/30: Nairobi (2 nights) 09/01-09/04: Masai Mara (3 nights, then return to Nairobi) 09/05-09/07: Rift Valley/Nakuru/Hell’s Gate/etc. (2 nights, then return to Nairobi) 09/08: Nairobi > Amboseli (2 nights) 09/10: Amboseli > Tsavo East (2 nights) 09/12: Tsavo > Mombasa (1 night) 09/13: Mombasa > Kilifi (2 nights) 09/15: Kilifi > Malindi > Lamu (3 nights) 09/18: Return to Nairobi 09/19: Departure at 23:40

I’ve got a ton of questions, but I’ll try to summarize them somewhat:

Do you have any recommendations for tour operators for the safaris? Right now, I’ve planned 11 days for the "safari" portion from Masai Mara to Tsavo, with a lot of returns to Nairobi—is it possible to optimize this without booking a full tour with a single agency? Aside from the cost, I’m worried I won’t feel very free if we do a 9-day experience covering all of it, but maybe that’s the most recommended option? Do all the destinations up to Mombasa require booking a tour and hiring a guide in advance (or having your own vehicle), or are some more open to improvisation? We’d also like to meet people and not just do safaris, but our current itinerary doesn’t really allow for that—would you recommend cutting back on safaris and visiting villages between Nairobi and the coast instead? We were also considering the Taita Hills if possible—what do you think? Is Kilifi a good idea? We’ve heard it’s more authentic than Diani and we’re interested in the bioluminescent plankton, but I feel like the detour complicates the trip a bit.

You can probably tell from my questions that our biggest concern right now is booking the safaris. We can’t really afford to spend 2000 € each for 4 days, but we also won’t be taking a trip like this again anytime soon, so we want to make the most of it!

Hope my questions make sense and that you can help us out—thanks, and have a great evening!

Camille

Bonjour, Nous envisageons un safari en 2021 et nous envisageons, avec l'aide d'un TO, de visiter les parcs suivants : Tarangire (2 jours), Las Manyara (1 jour), N'gorongoro (1 jour), Serengeti (4 jours).

Nos questions sont les suivantes entre autre : Quid du lac Natron : intérêts, nombre de jours, faut-il marcher ? Nous aimerions assister au passage de la rivière Mara : juin ou juillet ??

Merci par avance

Jean Pierre

hi, We’re thinking of traveling to Tanzania in June (more specifically the first half) and would love to hear about your experiences, especially regarding the Serengeti safari. Is it a good time to see the animals? Would it be better to go later? For those who’ve been there during this period, do you recommend it? thanks in advance

Bonjour à tous,

En ces temps de confinement, je me permet de rêver à de futurs voyages. Pensez-vous qu'il est faisable d'atterrir au Cap et de faire le circuit en transports en commun jusqu'à Nairobi en deux mois? Est-ce que cela risque d'être trop juste et de ne pas avoir le temps de profiter des paysages? Nous partirons à deux et l'idée est de faire quelques safaris, les chutes et un peu de repos.

Merci pour votre aide!

Slt quelqun à t il des conseils pour un séjour de 9 jours en Tanzanie , j'ai prévu de commencer mon aventure à arusha , je n'ai rien de précision si ce n'est profitez avec mon amie de la beauté des paysage faire un safari et quelques jours à zanzibar avec de la plongée . Avez vous des agences abordables à conseiller , des choses à visiter pers du kilimandjaro car je me noyé dans les forums . Je veux faire les classiques et un peu de exeptionnel. Merci à toutes et à tous .

Bonjour, Je dois me rendre de Moshi à Lushoto. J'ai lu que l'on pouvait prendre le bus de la compagnie Dar Express qui va à Dar es Salaam et descendre à Mombo, puis prendre un dalla dalla de Mombo à Lushoto. Est-ce correct? Y a t'il des bus directs Moshi-Lushoto? Quelqu'un peut-il me renseigner? Merci

Bonjour à tous,

Avec une amie nous partons au Kenya en Septembre pendant 2 semaines. Pendant ce voyage nous voulons faire un safari (évidemment) et nous avons trouvé le Waltz Tour Safari qui nous propose un safari de 4 jours (3 nuits) pour 800€/personne (négocié) tout inclus. Ce même organisme nous demande un dépôt pour la réservation de 500€. Cela me semble beaucoup quand même ... Est ce que parmi vous, certains ont fait leur safari avec cette agence ? ou seraient capable de me dire si nous nous engageons sur une arnaque ou pas ?

Merci à tous.

Hi there, We’re heading to Zanzibar in early January and I was wondering if it’s really safe given the post-election events that happened earlier this month. We heard there was severe repression during the protests (that’s putting it mildly) and that the internet was shut down. How’s the situation now? What’s the vibe like in Zanzibar? Is it safe to travel there? If any of you are currently there, I’d really appreciate hearing your firsthand experience. Have a great day, Lazurite

Hi there, we’re planning a trip for two couples in October 2025—ideally to Tanzania and Zanzibar for a safari circuit and 2 to 3 nights in Zanzibar. If anyone has already traveled with Tanzanisa Specialist, Comptoir des Voyages, or another agency, we’d love to hear about your experience or any tips you might have.

Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone! My mom (75 years old, in great shape!) and I (40) are planning a trip to Tanzania between October 26th and November 16th (duration: 2 to 3 weeks). Yes, it’s a bit short notice to organize, but we don’t really have a choice :) Here’s the rough idea:

Exploring the country on the go, with a touch of spontaneity and local encounters (not a 100% fixed itinerary). Personally, I’m used to total improvisation when traveling solo, but in this case, I’d prefer to be a bit more informed/structured.

Potentially climbing Kilimanjaro (for me) before ending with a few relaxing days in Zanzibar.

Maybe renting a 4x4 to stay independent?

No luxury requirements: we prioritize authenticity over comfort (as long as it’s at least clean). We’re not opposed to camping either if it lets us do some cool stuff! Not a huge budget, but this time we’re not completely broke either :)

I’m reaching out to you here for:

Ideas for off-the-beaten-path itineraries.

Advice on whether a guide is necessary in certain places or recommendations for reliable and friendly local contacts/tour operators.

If you have any recommendations, experiences, or great tips, we’re all ears! Thanks in advance for your advice and kindness.

See you soon.

Hi there, We’re currently planning our trip to Tanzania for August 2025. We’re a family with two teens (16 and 14) and we’re used to traveling with our backpacks, using local transport to create authentic exchanges with locals.

We’d like to do a short safari (2 days and 1 night) during our 3-week trip on a small budget.

If we had to choose just one park in Tanzania in August, which one would you recommend?

Is it easy to rent a jeep with a driver in August without going through an agency in Tanzania?

Who can help us decode the rates offered by agencies? - Park entry: how much per person? Does it vary by age? Are the rates different depending on the park? - Cost of the driver and a guide? - Is accommodation in the park taxed? - Do we need to budget for a tip?

Bonjour à tous,

j'envisage d'aller en Tanzanie prochainement. Mais j'aimerai y faire un self drive. La Tanzanie est un pays cher. Je suis donc en train de calculer le budget nécessaire afin de savoir si je peux me permettre de faire ce voyage ou non.

Seulement je me perds dans les différentes taxes et les couts des divers parcs et campements.... Pouvez-vous m'aider À éclaircir ces points?

- Pour chaque parc, je dois payer un droit d'entrée par 24h par personne + un droit d'entrée de la voiture? Est-ce correct? Cela veut-il dire qu'avant de rentrer dans le parc, tu dois déjà savoir combien de jours exactement tu vas y rester?

- Pour certains parcs j'ai cru vrai qu'il y avait d'autres "fees" (gouvernementale etc...). Quelles sont-elles exactement? a combien reviennent-elles? et pour quels parcs?

- Pour certains parcs, il faut demander un permis avant. Quels sont exactement ces parcs? (Ngorongo, Natron...?), est-ce que al demande de permis est compliquée à faire et combien cout-t-elle?

- Quelle difference entre campings publics et camping "spéciaux". Comment savoir lequel est quoi? Est-il vraiment nécessaire de réserver les campings spéciaux en avance?

- Est-ce que toutes les entrées des parcs et différentes taxes sont payables en cartes? ou bien j'ai également besoin de cash?

Tout est un peu flou!🤪 Merci pour votre aide et vos infos!😉

Hi there, I’ve reached out to a few agencies for a week-long family safari next summer before heading to Zanzibar.

So far, the itinerary looks like this: Day 1: Late arrival at JRO and overnight in Arusha Day 2: Drive to Tarangire, park visit, and overnight in Tarangire Day 3: Tarangire, drive to and overnight in Karatu Day 4: Ngorongoro and overnight in Ngorongoro Day 5: Drive to Serengeti and safari in Seronera Day 6: Serengeti and overnight near Lobo Day 7: Serengeti and overnight in Seronera Day 8: Flight from Seronera to Zanzibar

On paper, it covers "everything," but maybe there’s a bit too much time lost on the road... Any alternatives?

To simplify (and cut costs), I was thinking: Day 1: Late arrival at JRO and overnight in Arusha Day 2: Arusha National Park with a walking safari and meeting the Maasai (?) Day 3: Drive to Tarangire, park visit, and overnight in Tarangire Day 4: Full day in Tarangire Day 5: Tarangire, drive to and overnight in Karatu Day 6: Ngorongoro and overnight in Ngorongoro Day 7: Morning in Manyara or Natron and drive to JRO Day 8: Flight to Zanzibar

Your thoughts and recommendations are welcome... Thanks

Hi there,

I’m reaching out with a question about which park to choose for a 3-day safari in Kenya.

After 20 days in Uganda, I’m meeting up with my dad for a 3-day safari (that works for him). We’ll be meeting in Nairobi and have a full day to travel to a park (preferably the farthest from Nairobi to avoid crowds?) and spend 4 nights there before heading back to the capital for our flight to France.

I’d love to hear your recommendations since I’ve read so many great tips on this forum.

Thanks,

David

Hi there, for a 15-day trip to Zanzibar, I’d love all your tips and help (where to go, accommodation, etc.). Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I’m looking into a future safari in Kenya, and I see a lot of accommodations in lodges or tents.

I’ve seen photos of different places, and it seems like there’s no... door to lock the room 😅

Would anyone know how to secure your belongings in this case? (Suitcases)

The question might seem silly to some, but I’ve never been on a safari before, and I’ve never seen a lodge or tent (other than the basic Decathlon tent).

Thanks everyone

Hi Any feedback on the agency Mon Guide Zanzibar?

Hi everyone, I’m planning a two-week trip to Tanzania at the end of December and beginning of January, including 3 or 4 days in Zanzibar. But after reading some posts about the island, I’m wondering if it’s really worth it.

Are the beaches on the mainland just as idyllic as Zanzibar’s? I’ve also seen there are other islands, like Mafia Island, which is less touristy.

Another question: for my arrival, I don’t want to stay in Dar es Salaam, as big cities don’t really appeal to me. Would Bagamoyo be a good base, or would you recommend somewhere else?

To give you more details, I’m not traveling with a tour operator—I’m more of a backpacker and prefer local transport.

Thanks for your advice!

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a Tanzania trip combined with Zanzibar for 15 days (8+6 days). The setup: a private trip for two, in July or August.

We’re heading to Tanzania primarily for the safari experience—the animals, photography, and stunning landscapes. The classic Northern Circuit for beginners is Arusha / Tarangire / Ngorongoro / Serengeti.

But that’s a lot of driving if we do the full loop... and I’ve read it’s better to take your time in the parks rather than spend all day in transfers (saw that in Lonely Planet).

So, beginner’s question... Do you think Arusha / Tarangire / Ngorongoro is a good alternative? We’d skip the legendary Serengeti but could spend more time in the parks and avoid long stretches of rough roads (prioritizing paved routes instead)... Maybe adding Lake Manyara to the mix.

For context, we did Kruger about ten years ago (5 days self-drive).

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting and I’m reaching out for your help, For our honeymoon, I’d like to go on a safari in Tanzania and I’ve chosen Miles to Smile. Has anyone already traveled with this local agency?

My exchange with Julie was great—she took the time to talk with me for an hour on the phone to offer a tailor-made safari.

However, she’s asking me to pay 50% of the trip, or even the full amount. She mentioned paying fewer fees by using Wise.

Do you know this agency? What do you think? I’m really afraid it might be a scam and that my dream could turn into a nightmare.

Thanks for your feedback and kindness.

Best regards,

Hello,

We’re heading to Kenya from July 14 to August 3, 2025. We’ve swapped our house to get our first base in Nairobi.

I’d like to know if the Severin Safari Camp is well located relative to the entrance of Tsavo National Park? From what I’ve read in another discussion, it’s better to hire a driver (rather than renting a car)?

Same question for Maasai Simba Camp?

And finally, what do you recommend for the Masai Mara: how many days should we plan? Any accommodation tips?

Thanks so much in advance.

The Brittons from the 56 🙂

Hi, We're considering accepting a safari quote from Grand5safari in Kenya, but they're asking for a 40% deposit, and we're hesitant because we're worried about getting scammed. Has anyone already paid a deposit to this provider and gone on a safari with them? Thanks! 🙂 Katia

Hi there!

I’m planning a self-drive trip to Tanzania (either September or October).

This route won’t include any of the usual parks you hear about everywhere (too expensive, too crowded, too touristy).

The idea is to explore Tanzania more for its landscapes, beaches, and hiking. A little wildlife spotting, sure, but that’s not the main goal.

Here’s the itinerary I’m considering:

(Arrival and departure from Kilimanjaro Airport)

Night 1: Southern gate of Arusha NP

Night 2: Northern gate of Arusha NP

Night 3: Enduimet

Night 4: Same (near the gates of Mkomazi NP)

Night 5: Mkomazi NP

Night 6: Mkomazi NP

Nights 7-8-9: Pangani or Tanga

Nights 10-11-12: Usambara Mountains

Nights 13-14: Foothills of Kilimanjaro

I can’t find much info about Enduimet at all.

So if anyone has any details about this place...

All your ideas, tips, and suggestions for the rest of the route are welcome too!

Thanks! :)
