Trek from Barranco Camp to Karanga Camp on Mount Kilimanjaro, including the famous Barranco Wall climb and a short acclimatization hike with spectacular mountain views. This scenic section of the Machame Route helps trekkers adjust to the altitude before continuing toward the summit.

What a sensational trip to Ghana! This was my first mission trip and I was unsure what to expect. It turned out to be a fantastic and humbling experience. Morris and his team put together a very well organized schedule mixing charity work with sightseeing and leisure time. The small group of professionals worked so well together it was amazing to see them in action. I am ready to go again and pitch in where I can. I highly recommend these folks for your next tour.

Getting to see some of the behind-the-scenes work in action was such a treat. Not only are SNS creating beautiful and amazing experiences for travelers, but they also care deeply about the impact they can create to support the people of Kenya and other African nations. With a trip of 20 people, everything felt seamless and very personal. We were picked up by team members from the airport, and the rest was taken care of. The moment we arrived, we were taken care of. From life-changing safari adventures in the Maasai Mara to a beautiful few days at the Indian Ocean in Diani Beach, this trip is one that will always be a top memory. Thanks to the Safari N Smiles team-- Morris, Keshy, Joseph, and Robinson for being such kind people and for taking such good care of all of our guests!Posted on Kiri-Gabriella26/05/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of joining Safari N Smiles in Kenya, and it was an absolutely incredible experience! The trip was exceptionally well-organized, with the perfect balance of thrilling activities and relaxation so there was never a dull moment. One of the highlights was experiencing the Masai Mara from a hot air balloon at sunrise - truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The safaris themselves were breathtaking, with knowledgeable staff who enhanced our experience with their expertise and passion for wildlife. The food throughout the trip was second to none and the accommodation was great. I also had the opportunity to connect with like-minded innovators who have became good friends along the way. This trip was worth every penny, leaving me with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the beauty of Kenya. I highly recommend Safari N Smiles for anyone looking to combine their dental career with the adventure of a lifetime, it's worth every penny!
