Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Kilimanjaro Region – Relaxing Evening
The snow-capped summit of Mount Kilimanjaro guides your arrival into Tanzania, glistening in the fading sun as you touch down at Kilimanjaro International. Exiting the airport, you see another peak, the one of Mount Meru rising imposingly above the plains. Both mountains have lush, fertile slopes, a sharp contrast to the airport's surrounding grasslands that often crack in the dry season heat. You'll be greeted at the airport and transferred to a nearby lodge, where vervet monkeys jump through jackalberry trees, dik diks skip across the grounds, and the vast botanical-style gardens provide a peaceful sanctuary after the flight. Your accommodation is in a private cottage, surrounded by the chirping of exotic birds.

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.
