Top Of Africa Treks and Safari Company is an Eco-friendly sustainable tourism project a joint idea from Tanzanian – Sifuel Moshi “mountaineering and medical knowledgeable guide” and an enthusiast of Africa – Andrzej Gutowski. Our adventure began a long time ago in the Barranco camp on the southern slopes of the Kilimanjaro massif where Sifuel led national park team on rescue and environmental aspects, relation continued incessantly until today.
What do we do? In a nutshell: we realize the dream of climbers from all over the world wishing to see Hemingway’s famous “snows of Kilimanjaro“, a dream of an adventure of a lifetime the heart of Africa, a dream of welcoming sunrise on the “Roof of Africa.”
Hence, the name Top Of Africa became from trekking on Kilimanjaro which is a leitmotif of our company.
There are 6 routes heading up Kilimanjaro and 2 for descending, Marangu route using the same way up and down, we offer 3 different routes that we believe are the essence of beautiful views, abundant nature and a fascinating struggle with the mountain and of course with yourself to choose from. These routes are: Machame (once called “the whiskey route”) before Umbwe renamed, Rongai route and the longest Lemosho route.
But Top Of Africa is not just for Kilimanjaro trekking enthusiasts, still we offer a trip to subequatorial Mt. Kenya, the smaller brother of Kilimanjaro – Mt. Meru, and especially the beautiful Ngorongoro crater highlands trekking which illuminates spectacular climb to Ol Doinyo Lengai – the Masai “Mountain of God.”
We conduct our wildlife safaris with special 4×4 safari fleet with hatched / popped up roof, guaranteed window seat to allow excellent game viewing together with our professional cooks and experienced camping crew, we are excited and fully prepared to offer an excellent service, high standard camping equipment, and show you the authentic African nature, wildlife and traditions, before leaving you to the to the famous “spice island”, Zanzibar has historic capital, spice gardens, and idyllic white beaches will be a real respite from the hardships of trekking and safari to total relaxation and sun bathing.
Besides trekking and safaris in East African Mountains and National Parks, we have plenty of exposure to several of the beaten paths and local indigenous, ethnic groups (like the Hadzabe tribe that lives at shore Lake Eyasi), the Maasai people around Ngorongoro area, not to mention mixed culture in Mto wa mbu area.
These tribes differ not only due to the area they inhabit, but mainly for traditions, clothing, cuisine and beliefs.
When it comes to lakes too: Lake Turkana “desert emerald” and its multitude of ethnic tribes, Lake Nyasa Bays, Lake Tanganyika (the world’s longest freshwater lake and second deepest lake in the world “Max. Depth: 1,470 m /4,820 ft.”), Lake Natron which has such a high concentration of sodium, mineral-rich Soda Lake in northern Tanzania and breeding ground for hundreds of thousands of lesser flamingos, despite the highly alkaline state of the striking red waters which is often viscous to the touch. Lake Victoria the biggest lake in Africa and second one in the world, after Lake Superior which found between Canada and USA, it occupies a shallow water depression in Africa with Size of 26,823 square miles (69,484 square km), depth is 90 meters, water volume of the lake is 2,424 km cubic, the basin area covers is 92,240 square miles (238,900 km). Lake Victoria has more than 200 fish species.
Although our specialty is trekking and safaris in national parks, our experience includes historical sites such as Olduvai gorge, the cradle of mankind, where in 1959 anthropologist Dr. Louis and Mary Leakey found the nearly 2-milions years old remain thought to be an ape- like ancestor of modern human, Laetoli footprints, Engaruka ruins and so many.
