12 Days Safari Tour around Mt Kilimanjaro off the beaten

Ascent of the kilimandjaro by the Machamé route with Off-piste and 2 exceptional guides (Reagan and Onneix), without forgetting the team of porters without whom, the dream would never have become reality. Perfectly well organized, each day is paced so that everything goes well with the goal of success on the night of the ascent to reach the summit. And that's what happened:-) I would gladly do it again with the same team. A big congratulations to this whole Team. The champions are them...

We've just returned from a trip of a lifetime. And we cannot praise Ann and her team enough. From first making contact with 'Long Ways Expeditions' to the last day nothing was too much for the team and we felt well supported and looked after. We had the most wonderful time, it was unbelievable how our driver, 'eagle eyed' Abraham spotted the animals. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the birds and wildlife. We came so very close to elephants, lions, baboons and giraffes, to name just a few. We even saw a leopard feeding on a carcass in a tree. All the lodges we stayed in (locally owned) were absolutely fantastic and so was the food. We can highly recommend the company. Anybody wanting to have a truly wonderful experience in Tanzania should contact 'Long Way Expeditions' and they will ensure you have a great experience. Ann came to see us on the last day to get our feedback. Nothing was too much for her.

This was absolutely a trip of a lifetime. We found Long Way Expeditions through Responsible Travel. We did look at other companies but landed on this one because the itinerary was exactly what we were looking for. When planning this trip, Ann was able to accommodate us and make a few changes and help us fine tune our experience. From the moment Abu warmly greeted us at the airport with a broad smile and Ann greeted us at the hotel with an equally warm smile to discuss our time with them, we relaxed from the day’s travels and knew we were in good hands. Everyday was an adventure. Abu was the best guide. Whenever possible, he gave us an experience away from all the other tourists yet enabled us to see all the wonders of Tanzania up close. It was wonderful to deal with a locally owned company, a husband and wife team and an expedition company committed to supporting their community and making it a better place. Just the kind of company we wanted to support vs a company putting profit ahead of people. I truly can’t say enough about this tour company. Ann and Abu care about their clients and their community. And it shows.

We want to thank Ann for an unforgettable experience in Tanzania. We were well taken care of and Ann remained accommodating and contactable during the trip. Our very experienced guide, Tuma, was helpful and knowledgeable to show us the beauty of the flora and fauna in the parks. He also knew how to keep us safe. He brought us to catch the wildebeest crossing, the Big Five and many other animals besides, and at close range! Tanzania’s parks and animals are thriving, so do put yourself in Ann’s capable hands if you’re planning on a safari in Africa soon.

We did a 12 day safari in Tanzania including Arusha national park, enduimet, Tarangire, lake manyara, lake natron, Serengeti and ngorongoro. Ann listened to requirements of our trip and adjusted the itinerary well. The trip was well organised. In addition, in most cases lodges were used which were either owned by the local community or supported them.
