This is not because the crowd visited safari makers. Little information is available here and the National Park is a private concession area, private park type. This is a particular area and the border of Kenya Amoboseli Park.

I strongly recommend this area for a few days if you find yourself planning a safari in Tanzania and really want a unique, off the beaten track and experience in Africa. " Many cities offer these features, but Western Kilimanjaro truly delivers all these qualities.

I visited this private concession this weekend, we left Arusha, my driver and I am heading toward Kilimanjaro. In Arusha we turned to the left an hour and ninety minutes is spent on very poor roads. It was slow going as the 4 × 4 lever slowly along the road, and I was wondering if all this is worth the effort. I was sure what to expect, but have heard good reports about this new area and, therefore, waiting for an enjoyable experience.

My heart sank as we entered the camp. Tents by local surface layer and everything looked very simple, luxury, I am waiting, I feared, it was very exaggerated. I was surrounded by African bush camp and seemed not at all. However, the camp really built into the environment, en-suite tents and the entire camp is really a luxury, but hidden.

Other cars were in the camp [we were the only guests this weekend] and with no other camps in the area we are just off the beaten track, but the driver of the camp staff. We arrived in time for lunch and the food was superb five course meals in elegant surroundings. Since no other guests my driver / guide, who was also joined me in the Maasai meal. It turned out to be happy, because I know the staff very quickly.

The rest of the day I spent relaxing around camp for drinking environment. Relaxing and knowledge of the local Maasai. The next day, Philemon [the driver] and I were joined as a camp counselor, and he showed us where to find the countryside and animals. Seeing the elephant herds of Kilimanjaro in the background of many years were spent in the East and the South African accent. Then we drove into a large white stone that marked Kenya - Tanzania border and we stopped for photos. After that we drove across the border in and around Kenya's Amboseli National Park.

That evening as the sun waned, we drove to a large hill just outside the camp at the top. We watched the sun begins to set around Mount Kilimanjaro and cleared the snow clouds had turned pink with the sun, and below the acacia trees was the silhouette of a shadow seemed to rise from the ground up. Then I though, it gets no better than the Maasai from the lodge came to the mountain dancing and singing - they brought the champagne, as this will be my last night. We toasted the most enjoyable stay and the staff and Philemon sang Maasai songs and danced into the early evening. If ever there were areas.
