Hi Heather. We’re actually going with a company that operates out of Tanzania - Bright African Safaris. They have great reviews & we did a few reference checks directly and they couldn’t say enough good things about them. If you are going to go with them, I’d suggest flying into Kilimanjaro or Arusha airport. We are going to have to get from Nairobi to Arusha which is a long & bumpy ride, from what I understand.
