点评:We were a group of six medical students looking for an adventurous yet budget-friendly experience in Tanzania. We hit the jackpot with Proceeding Adventures organized by rafiki yangu mwema Fred! 🥹 We did the 4-day Mount Meru trek followed by a 3-day safari through Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Here's our honest take:
🏔 Mount Meru (4 Days / 3 Nights)
Highlights:
• Wildlife on foot!
On day one alone, we saw giraffes, warthogs, and buffalo up close as we hiked through Arusha National Park.
• Acclimatization + challenge.
The trek was steep and at times demanding, especially summit day (midnight start, 10–12 hours on your feet!), but totally worth it. Reaching the peak at sunrise felt surreal.
• Views.
From the crater ridge and summit, we caught an unforgettable glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro floating in the clouds.
• Supportive crew.
Our guides were professional, patient, and encouraging: especially helpful as some of us were first-time high-altitude trekkers. The porters and cooks made sure we were always full, hydrated, and laughing.
Accommodation & food:
• Basic wooden huts with mattresses, but totally sufficient.
• Hot meals with fresh veggies, fruits, and lots of carbs (essential!).
• Clean drinking water was always provided.
• Would we recommend it? 100%. If you're prepping for Kilimanjaro or just want a beautiful, lesser-known trek: Mount Meru is it.
🐘 Part 2: 3-Day Safari (Serengeti & Ngorongoro)
After conquering Mount Meru, we traded hiking boots for binoculars and jumped into a 3-day safari through Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater. The perfect way to unwind and blow our minds with wildlife.
Highlights:
• The Big Five.
We saw lions, elephants, buffalo, and even a black rhino—all in their natural habitat. The only one playing hard to get was the leopard.
• Endless Serengeti.
Watching the golden plains stretch into the horizon felt unreal. We drove past herds of zebras and wildebeest, lion chilling under the trees, and even hyenas across the road.
• Ngorongoro Crater magic.
The morning descent into the crater was chilly but breathtaking. The crater floor is packed with wildlife, including hippos, flamingos, and even a black rhino.
• Camping under the stars.
We stayed at basic campsites right in the parks: yes, we heard wildlife at night! The experience felt real, and exciting.
Accommodation & food:
• Tents were simple but comfortable, with sleeping mats provided.
• All meals were freshly prepared and surprisingly tasty (especially after long days of game drives!).
• Picnic lunches with views of hippo pools? Hamna shida!
10/10 Would Do It Again! ✅
Proceeding Adventures gave us exactly what we needed: adventure, nature, and good vibes - all within a student budget. We couldn’t believe how much we saw in just a few days - and how well taken care of we were the whole time. Highly recommend! If you're a student group or budget traveler looking for something cool but affordable - this is it.

翻译:我们是一群六名医学生,希望在坦桑尼亚体验一次既刺激又经济的旅行。我们参加了 rafiki yangu mwema Fred 组织的 Proceeding Adventures,收获颇丰!🥹 我们进行了为期 4 天的梅鲁山徒步旅行,随后进行了为期 3 天的塞伦盖蒂和恩戈罗恩戈罗火山口之旅。以下是我们的真实感受:
🏔 梅鲁山(4 天/3 夜)
亮点:
• 徒步野生动物!
仅在第一天,我们就在徒步穿越阿鲁沙国家公园时近距离看到了长颈鹿、疣猪和水牛。
• 适应 + 挑战。
徒步旅行很陡峭,有时很艰难,尤其是登顶日(午夜出发,步行 10-12 小时!),但绝对值得。日出时到达山顶感觉很不真实。
• 景色。
从火山口山脊和山顶,我们瞥见了乞力马扎罗山漂浮在云层中的难忘景象。
• 支持我们的工作人员。
我们的导游专业、耐心、鼓舞人心:对我们中的一些人是第一次进行高海拔徒步旅行的人来说,他们特别有帮助。搬运工和厨师确保我们总是吃饱、喝足水、开怀大笑。
住宿和食物:
• 带床垫的基本木屋,但完全足够。
• 热餐,包括新鲜蔬菜、水果和大量碳水化合物(必需品!)。
• 始终提供干净的饮用水。
• 我们会推荐它吗?100%。如果您正在为乞力马扎罗山做准备,或者只是想来一次美丽的、鲜为人知的徒步旅行:梅鲁山就是您的不二之选。
🐘 第 2 部分:3 日游猎(塞伦盖蒂和恩戈罗恩戈罗)
征服梅鲁山后,我们换上登山靴,戴上双筒望远镜,开始了为期 3 日的游猎,途经塞伦盖蒂国家公园和恩戈罗恩戈罗火山口。这是放松身心、与野生动物共度美好时光的完美方式。
亮点:
• 五大动物。
我们看到了狮子、大象、水牛,甚至还有黑犀牛——它们都生活在自然栖息地。唯一难以捉摸的是豹子。
• 无尽的塞伦盖蒂。
看着金色的平原延伸到地平线,感觉不真实。我们开车经过了成群的斑马和角马,狮子在树下休息,甚至还有鬣狗在马路对面。
• 恩戈罗恩戈罗火山口的魔力。
早上进入火山口时,天气寒冷,但令人叹为观止。火山口底部挤满了野生动物,包括河马、火烈鸟,甚至还有黑犀牛。
• 在星空下露营。
我们住在公园里的基本露营地:是的,我们在晚上听到了野生动物的声音!这种体验感觉很真实,也很刺激。
住宿和食物:
• 帐篷简单但舒适,提供睡垫。
• 所有餐点都是新鲜烹制的,而且出奇地美味(特别是在长时间的狩猎之后!)。
• 在河马池边野餐?Hamna shida!
10/10 会再来!✅
Proceeding Adventures 给了我们所需要的一切:冒险、自然和良好的氛围 - 所有这些都在学生的预算之内。我们简直不敢相信我们在短短几天内看到了这么多东西 - 而且我们整个过程中都得到了很好的照顾。强烈推荐!如果您是学生团体或预算旅行者,正在寻找一些很酷但价格实惠的东西 - 这就是您要找的东西。
