Day 1
Arusha – Touchdown
As your international flight approaches the city of Arusha, Tanzania, you will see the tip of Mount Meru poke through the clouds before you begin your final descent. Upon landing at Kilimanjaro International Airport, a representative will meet you in arrivals and transfer you to your lodge just outside of the city. With your own private cottage nestled between avocado, coffee and acacia trees and under the shadow of Mount Meru, this will be the perfect place to unwind after a long day of travel. Enjoy a restorative couple’s massage in the privacy of your spacious cottage before lounging by the pool as the afternoon fades away. In the evening, you will join the rest of the guests for a delicious and locally inspired three-course meal. Enjoy a final glass of wine on your private porch as you watch the stars emerge before retiring for the night.

Zicasso's travel agents planned every small and big detail of our trip to Nairobi, Maasai Mara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. They suggested a perfect time. Because of this, we were able to witness the Great Wildebeest Migration, including the Mara River crossing. The guides were very knowledgeable. The pick-up and drop-off service from airports at each place was excellent. Our overall trip was great!

There are no words to describe the amazing trip Zicasso's trip designers planned for us. There were four of us traveling; two couples. After talking with our travel agent at length about what we wanted to see and do, he hit every one of our requests, from elephants to gorillas. They far exceeded our expectations. We visited three countries: Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda, and every detail was planned for us. All we had to do was show up.

Zicasso's travel partner created an over-the-top experience for us! The migration camps were first-class and the safari experience was truly amazing. Seeing part of the Great Migration was an indescribable experience! From the time we landed until we departed, we were taken care of by his team. He helped us secure the very difficult visas needed, he responded to our questions immediately, and was always available.
If you want the trip of a lifetime—a safari in Africa—this travel agency will make it happen. You will not be disappointed.
