Hi Naz,

We are back from our trip and we are already dreaming we were back in Tanzania. Thank you for everything. We believe that big part of the success of our trip was due to proper planning.

Our thoughts: "... it was our dream trip. We saw glaciers on top of Mount Kilimanjaro, lions and zebras running in the Serengeti, Masaai villages and the paradise island of Zanzibar.

Thanks to Rickshaw we had a very knowledgeable and nice guide during our safari, stayed at beautiful lodges and had no need to worry in any moment of our trip. Tanzania is a wonderful place to visit with very friendly people and an endless variety of landscapes."

Best Regards
Andreina and Juan (Toronto, Canada)

Rickshaw congratulates Andreina and Juan, who got engaged on top of Kilimanjaro.
