What is the most memorable thing that has happened to you on safari?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Once there were two male elephants chasing my car and I had clients with me. They chased us towards the river for about 3 kilometers and when we were close to the river, they sped up to catch us. We were very lucky; we found a little path, and I drove the car down to the river safely. I will never forget that.<\/p>\n
Why should everyone who climbs Kilimanjaro also go on safari?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Killimanjaro climbers should also go on safari while in Tanzania because the Serengeti and Ngorongoro are commonly called the best wildlife areas in Africa.<\/p>\n
Have you ever climbed Kilimanjaro?<\/strong><\/p>\n
I climbed Kilimanjaro when I was in school and I used to be a porter.<\/p>\n
What is a Tanzanian food every visitor should try?<\/strong><\/p>\n
