Safari and Kilimanjaro in Tanzania - We used Pinnacle team for a 3 day safari and Kilimanjaro hike this September. Absolutely amazing experience for both. We definitely would not have made it to the summit without our amazing guides, Sele and Abdul. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone, especially if traveling with children. They made the experience so much fun for my 15 year old son. Our guide for the safari, Good luck, was equally impressive. He had so much information on all the animals and was so kind and accommodating throughout our safari. This was the trip of a lifetime and we were so grateful to everyone that made the experience wonderful.
