Would highly recommend this it was a great opportunity. Chloe P2025-01-24Verified Helpful and Accommodating Wonderful stay with Lewis at Meru Hostel, and booking the safari, we were made at home, taken for dinner, drinks and any extra trips or advice we required. arganier2024-08-26Verified With Glitzy Safari, and specially with Lewis we had such a great experience. It’s local tour operator, so important. I discovered Lewis, who is one of the tour operators, when I booked for a stay at Meru Hostel in Arusha. One of my dreams was seeing Ngorongoro. So I asked what can U offer me for Ngorongoro and Tarangire ? And immediately I’ve a proposal. and it was a really good proposal, so I answered right away. I really don’t regret it. We spent with my friend two wonderful days. First we went to Tarangire NP, then we spent the night not far from Ngorongoro, in a lodge, Fig Tree Lodge and Campsite, where the food and room were very good. The 2nd day, direction Ngorongoro. U can’t imagine how I was happy being in this gorgeous caldera. An experience I will never forget all my life. Our guide was so kind with us, he made everything for us and participated to this beautiful moment. We spent maybe 4 hours in the caldera. Lewis we also booked a excursion in a Chagga village. This tribe is living around Kilimanjaro. Their agriculture is based on ancestral organic fertilization where they mixed Bananas trees, Coffee plants and small other small plant ( sorry I don’t remember the name). With the local guide, we first go to Materuni waterfalls, on the foot of Kilimanjaro. Nice walk on a little path, between farms. Then we went back to our family’s guide, where we learned how make our coffee. For myself, who like so much coffee, it was so great. As U can read, we had such a nice experience with Glitzy Safari. Thank U so much Lewis.

Nikita K2023-06-07Verified Safari and Kilimanjaro I did the safari to Tarangire NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro NP. And i did the 5 day Kilimanjaro Hike! I loved both! Ofcourse totally different! But each tour was perfectly arranged! The food was good! Everything was clean! The tour guide of the Safari did really his best to see as much as different animals as he could. He asked if everybody was good to leave or stay a bit longer at the animal and he explained everything very well! And the crew of the Kilimanjaro are amazing! They always keep an eye on you if you are doing well on that mountain! Also they are so strong! They carry everything! The chef makes perfect food and the crew is very kind! I booked the tour at Meru Hostel! Lewis the owner of the hostel arranges everything so well! You don’t have to do anything at all! Also a big plus, after the Kilimanjaro Hike he arranged a buffet to eat together with the whole crew where you climbed the Kilimanjaro with! Excellent! 👌🏻
