   Mohamed and his team did a great job! I spent a week in Tanzania with my mother, but it felt like it was a month - we saw so much during such short period of time. We were brought to breathtaking places that felt so authentic and unique. We had a lot of adventures and learnt a lot about Tanzania. In Magaroto, we were swimming in a paradise-like lake and explored the outskirts, danced and played instruments with the locals. In Tanga we snorkeled, had a picnic on a disappearing island, chilled on a boat. Right before departure, Mohamed made a spontaneous Tanga tour for us. Mohamed was very attentive to our needs and our mood. He was altering the plan on the go to make sure we get the best out of the trip. The whole team is very chilled and friendly. I felt like I’m visiting friends, and not like I’m on a tour:) I highly recommend Next Stop Tanzania. See more..

   Really enjoyed both climbing Kilimanjaro and safari after. This was the most comfortable and well-organized mountain climb I ever had (out of 10+ so far). Everything was great: communication, the itinerary, hotels in towns and on safari and tents on the mountain, food, guides, and safari. All of us summited and descended safely. A few of us needed covid tests for our return flights, and it was perfectly organized without affecting any other activities, and everyone got the results on time and flew back as planned. Thank you!

   We had the great pleasure of having Mahmoud as our guide. He has a profound interest in nature and has huge knowledge about animals and plants. Apart from his knowledge he is a very social guy, who quickly becomes your friend. It is very clear he wants to make sure you get the best possible experience and has his morals in the right place, when it comes to price and experiences. He knows the Usambara mountains as his own backyard and can give you any experience you are looking for, in the usambara mountains. The company and Mahmoud has my greatest recommendation.

7. 4.5 Mkomazi National Park (27 reviews)
   - Wonderful and unforgettable, actually the best!
   Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM National Parks
   
   
   The serenity and the low number of visitors gives the animals the minimum disturbance as possible. This is highly important for the wellbeing of the wildlife. The sanctuary for Black rhino is the best part of this park. You need to go there too!! See more..
   
8. 4.0 Amboni Caves (49 reviews)
   - Fun and invigorating
   Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Caverns & Caves
   
   
   I have been to the caves twice before once as a kid in the 90s and another time as a teacher leading a group of students in 2014. This time I went with a friend and the trip was better than the previous two times. Our volunteer guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour of the caves. He was very excited two locals have come to visit the caves as our government overlooks domestic tourists in the majority of their ad campaigns. There is a bit of graffiti in certain parts of the caves. However, our guide was great and I loved everything about the tour. See more..
   
9. 4.0 Urithi Tanga Museum (14 reviews)
   - Basic, But Fun Museum
   Sunday: 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM History Museums
   
   
   I visited Tanga primary to see its history in the First World War. This small museum is one of the only remaining monuments to that period of history. While the museum is underwhelming, it possesses some interesting photos of German East Africa—its administration and economy. The tour guide was pleasant and informative. The tour and admission cost $10000 TZ Shillings (2022) There is no gift shop. Museum located behind the Tanga Library on Independence Street. Nice stop for anyone visiting the area for more than one day. See more..
