Southern Tanzania's National Parks and Game Reserves; Ruaha, Selous and Mikumi, are less famous than those of the north and the parks receive few visitors. The parks of the South are vast and beautiful and offer a more authentic wildlife and safari experience than the northern circuit.
All Safari income is used to support Art in Tanzania community programs.
During February 2014 I did 2 weeklong trip to Tanzania. During these 2 weeks I climbed up to Uhuru Peak on Mt Kilimanjaro and had a safari in Serengeti and N'gorongoro. The staff and guides from Art in Tanzania were extremely helpful during the 10 day long climbing & safari trip.
I was quite impressed on the staff's knowledge in English and their skills to socialize with the people from Europe and other part of the world. Some our our climbing group felt tired and was not sure if they were able to continue the climbing at some points. But due to the experience and knowledge of our guides, these climbers were helped to make a proper decision whether to continue or to stop due to the mountain sickness.
To sum up, I would definately recommend Art in Tanzania if you are visiting Tanzania and plans to climb up Uhuru Peak or getting on safari into Serengeti and N'gorongoro.
Thanks to the experienced guidance I was feeling safe during the whole trip and would definately choose them again if I later in my life plan to visit Mt Kilimanjaro or to go to a safari again.
