Eli and his crew were amazing. I can’t even begin to express our appreciation for his expertise and care taking our family on a successful summit of Kilimanjaro. I’d highly suggest Marvel Scenic for both Treks and Safaris, as we also took a day trip to Ngorongoro Crater that was a great way to get a safari feel in a short amount of time.
