TESTIMONIAL
Hear From Our Happy Travelers
We love seeing our guests return home with unforgettable memories of Tanzania’s hidden gems.
Amazing Service, Delicious Food
Once the hike was over and we had descended, we had a fresh, hot and really tasty lunch. It was a huge buffet, we didn't even get through half of it! We had our lunch at the lake side and it was really nice to picnic with the serenity of the forest.

Amazing Experience
Rashidi and the lady host were very nice and professional. Both tours were impressive. The food was very tasty…pure Swahili food everything home cooked and not processed. I recommend the company 150%!
Leonard
Excellent
We had an amazing walk through Pugu Hills with a wonderful guide. It was strenuous in parts mainly because that’s what we asked fir. At the end of the walk we had a great home cooked meal al fresco. We all took our dogs. It was just a great day!
