Very fascinating trip. We drove to Tarangeri and camped in the park for the night. We drove around the first day without seeing any elephants, but the following day we came pretty close. Overall, our guides were fantastic; they shared with us their experiences and history while also adding a good dose of humor—always a pleasure. I'm grateful.

He took the time to seek out the animals and made sure we had enough time to take pictures and admire the animals.. he was very approachable and very knowledgeable. He also made sure we were safe and protected! I will never forget this experience! Thank you Gifton

Gifton was incredible to work with- he listened to our groups wants and customized a tour that suited several different peoples budget. Everyone was extremely happy and I would recommend him for anything you want to do around Arusha or safaris! He's a great communicator and he's so much fun! Plus, I liked that I was supporting a local tour company instead of an international company. 5 stars!
