It was just me from our Kilimanjaro group, who stayed for safari. Kilimanjaro is an unique challenge, but the African experience would not be complete without safari. It takes only two days to visit Tarangire and Ngorongoro and I would say it's a must. Both have beautiful nature and spectacular wildlife. With a bit of luck one can see big five in just two days. My guide Joseph anticipated well wildlife behaviour giving me a chance for some nice pictures. He also drove safely all the way from Moshi and back and in the parks. It was a very nice addition to my Kilimanjaro trek
