Activities: For those with more time and a thirst for adventure, we have personalized itineraries from a wide range of options to choose from...
Ngorongoro Walk: This walking safari is designed for those in search of real African adventures, those who enjoy the unpredictability of nature, wildness at close quarters, and those who want to rough it out - tough it out, it's also for those whose normal lifestyle has become too mundane and comfortable and for those who feel they need a close encounter with challenges of an extra-ordinary kind. We also organize truly enchanting, personalised package tours to all the national parks of Tanzania and trekking adventures to Africa’s coolest point - Kilimanjaro,etc - the choice is always yours.
After the exhilarating day out/safari, you can be assured of a friendly welcome “home” away from home, to the comfort of the lodge/camp; your luxurious bed; a hot steaming shower; and an evening spent across the polished mahogany dining table or by the fragrant wood fire places; recounting your day’s stories and adventures while being attended to by our friendly and efficient staff.
