Kenya and Tanzania tailor made safari
Description of Kenya and Tanzania tailor made safari
Thrilling, unforgettable experiences abound on this Kenya and Tanzania tailor made safari. The trip has been designed to showcase some of the finest wildlife-watching in all of Africa, while ensuring you’re accommodated in comfort and style throughout. Exploring some of the continent’s most renowned national parks and reserves you’ll stay in a succession of luxurious lodges that have been strategically located to place you in the very heart of the action.
Immense herds of elephants range across Amboseli National Park, its skyline dominated by the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, highest peak in Africa. In Lake Manyara, the lions find a breeze and respite from insects by climbing trees, which also gives them ideal vantage points for spotting prey. And in the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, sometimes described as ‘the eight wonder of the world’, you’ll discover a unique biosphere teeming with wildlife, set against a backdrop of lakes, forest and dormant volcanoes.
Safaris are taken in the mornings and late afternoons, avoiding the worst of the heat while also ensuring you find the animals at their most active. Driver-guides, drawn from local Masai communities, are trained to put the interests of the animals first. They’ll help you get some memorable sightings while also making sure that the wildlife, and the habitats they rely upon, are not disturbed by your presence.
Among the moments likely to be most treasured are an (optional) hot air balloon flight over the plains at sunrise, as the Masai Mara wakes up beneath you. Another will surely be spending time at a Masai village, where local guides can explain traditional culture and ways of life to you, and help you share a little of your own lives with your hosts. These are communities that benefit hugely from responsible tourism, supplying lodges with fresh-grown produce, guiding, and selling their handicrafts to visitors. In some cases just a snatch of conversation with a villager, or a moment of mutual connection, can be one of the highlights of your trip.
Your final stop is Crescent Island on Lake Naivasha, in Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. The wildlife populations here are exceptional, and admiring the lakeside setting from a hilltop during the ‘golden hour’ before sunset encapsulates everything that makes an African safari so splendid. One of the many reasons for choosing a Kenya and Tanzania tailor made safari is that it can create moments like this for you to enjoy, every single day.

Environmental sustainability means protecting the most natural resources. It is important for visitors to have a brief knowledge of an environment they will visit, do as much of research of a lace before traveling, get to know of the type of vegetation that is around, peoples' cultures, the weather and any other thing that may be worth knowing about. Clients are briefed before proceeding with their safari on what to expect, dos and don’ts while at the safari. Which include; ensuring they do not litter the parks or their way to and from the parks as they are provided with trash bins, they should also not feed the animals at the parks or make noise while at safari.All our tour vehicles have trash cans for proper disposal of waste to avoid disposal of non-degradable that may harm the wildlife. We discourage smoking and loud noise that may cause disturbances to the wildlife.
We encourage our travellers to travel in smaller groups during their trips to various destinations. Handling bigger groups is not easy and they cause stress to the environment
All our driver guides are required to keep by the trails so as to avoid distraction and interferences with the wildlife. Our guides are also discouraged from taking bribes to go off the road for good photos and better views, we encourage clients to let the animals come to them without destroying their habitats. Everyone should keep in mind that the wild animals are not like those found in the theme parks, they are not tamed, hence should take extra precautions not to offend them. We ask our clients never buy products made from endangered species.
People
As a tours agency, we have come up with policies over the last couple of years to promote community based sustainability through the communities we come across during our tours. we advice our travelers to visit the traditional community villages and learn from them to have a brief understanding of their way of life and appreciate their cultures. From the office, we make time during low seasons and visit the communities and appreciate them by providing some basic supplies such as food, sanitary products, learning materials, medical supplies, and help in building better infrastructures. We also team up with some tours agencies, non governmental agencies such as International Red Cross, and also help from other people around us. We also create itineraries that allow clients to experience the local culture through food, festivals, activities and cultural sites.In activities such as village visits, our driver guides always accompany the clients and act as their voices with the locals. The local cultures and way of life are very beautiful but without a local guide, one may not get the chance to witness the beauty.
Most suppliers source their products from the locals around and also help to improve the living standards of the locals by engaging them in agricultural activities such as organic farming, by use manure from the Masai cattle, employing local labor for supply of water and tour guiding clients as they already have knowledge of the environment.
Providing new sources of income through buying of local souvenirs from the cultural communities and also employing locals to be our driver guides since they are the most knowledgeable about the destinations’ culture and other company staff. This ensures easy understanding between the clients and the local communities visited during the tour.
