Really can't speak highly enough of Dodo Group Tanzania as an operator for both doing a Kilimanjaro trek and a Tanzanian safari. Collins is brilliant to deal with, always prompt and very thorough with his responses and covered all of our questions pre-trip, adding any other information that would be useful if we'd been ignorant to ask. Fredrick and Danny were our guides for the Kilimanjaro climb and were totally professional but had great senses of humor and did everything possible to help us make it to the top (which all four of us did). The cook, waiter, and porters that also helped us get up the mountain were all hard-working, fun-loving, and great guys whose strength, balance, and endurance is superhuman, especially given some of the footwear they use to get up the mountain. The food was different each day and it was very good and was always timely and in abundance. John our driver/guide and Pantaleo our cook on safari were also amazing. John was a wealth of knowledge and was never stumped with any question we asked of him, and we're pretty sure his eyes are bionic because he could spot an animal from a Kay away and know for certain what it was in seconds. He also had a great, dry sense of humor and a fantastic command of English. Pantaleo whipped us up bush feasts every day which were incredible, especially given where and with what he had to cook. The mountain and the safari were both incredible, beautiful places, but it was the Dodo Group team/people which we will remember for just as long as we think about Tanzanian Trip.
