While you're inching through traffic, these lions are stretched out next to our safari vehicle like it’s just another sunbed. No fences. No zoom. Just pure, wild trust.

But how is that even possible?
Lions see our vehicle as one big, non-threatening creature. As long as everyone stays seated and calm, they usually couldn’t care less that we’re there. We’re not prey, not predator — just part of the landscape.

It’s one of the wildest things about being on safari:
You’re not watching nature from a distance.
You’re in it. Quiet. Respectful. Amazed.
And sometimes… a little too close for comfort (don’t worry — your guide has it under control).

Who is faster?
You… trying to grab a snack before your next Zoom call,
or a cheetah—going from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3 seconds?

Spoiler: It’s the cheetah. And the snack? Already caught.
Cheetahs don’t just win the speed race — they are the speed race. But here’s something only few people know: they can only maintain that pace for about 20–30 seconds before they overheat. That’s why you’ll often see them like this — face smeared in blood, panting under a tree, catching their breath after the sprint.

They don’t roar, they chirp. They hunt by sight, not smell.
And unlike lions, they don’t fight for their meals — they win them in seconds and eat fast before anyone else shows up.

Cheetahs are built for the chase, not the fight.
And watching one in action on safari? It’s like witnessing nature’s version of a Formula 1 start line… with teeth.

You know what’s just as important as reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro?
Laughing your way there.😄

At Greg Adventures, we believe the journey should be fun—like dance breaks at camp, bad karaoke at 3,000m, inside jokes with your guide, and cheering each other on.

Because when the climb gets tough, a good laugh can carry you further than you think. We take altitude seriously—but we take joy just as seriously.

And our teams? Insanely fun. Unforgettably fun. When you know you know.

Come summit with us. The views are incredible. The vibe? Even better.

This is what your next holiday could look like!🐘☀🍷

Are you ready for a real adventure? Or will you say "maybe next year"?

We were parked on a rise, engine off, binoculars out.

In the soft morning light, two rhinos moved slowly across the landscape—barely more than silhouettes at first, their shapes emerging between misty grass and scattered acacias.

From the comfort of the safari car, we had the kind of view that makes you go quiet. You don’t need to be close to feel the weight of the moment. Seeing rhinos in the wild—truly wild—is something few people get to experience. And it’s a privilege we never take lightly.

At Greg Adventures, we believe the best wildlife encounters are the ones where the animals barely notice you’re there. No chasing, no crowding—just quiet observation, deep respect, and an open heart for the natural world.

Because this isn’t a zoo. It’s their home—and we’re just visitors, lucky enough to have a window into it. 🦏🌿

Dinner is served—no reservations needed.🍽

A cheetah mom and her cubs share a hard-earned meal on the savannah.
Cheetahs might be the fastest animals on earth, but when it comes to motherhood, patience and protection are just as important as speed.

Scenes like this remind us: every day on safari is a glimpse into a world that’s raw, real, and absolutely remarkable. 🐆

What NOT to pack for Kilimanjaro 🏔️
When it comes to prepping for Kilimanjaro, most people focus on what to bring — boots, layers, snacks, the right socks… But just as important is knowing what not to bring.

Here’s what to leave behind:

🚫 Heavy gear you “might” use
This isn’t the time to pack like you're moving house. Overpacking slows you down, tires out your porters, and trust us — that “just in case” extra jacket? You won’t use it.

🚫 Cotton everything
Cotton gets wet and stays wet. Opt for moisture-wicking, quick-dry fabrics instead. Hypothermia isn’t a vibe.

🚫 Tech gadgets galore
There’s no Wi-Fi on the mountain. Ditch the laptop, tablet, and fancy gear you won’t even be able to charge. Bring a power bank for essentials and enjoy the digital detox.

🚫 New hiking boots
Break them in before the climb. Blisters on Day 2 are the enemy.

🚫 Perfume, deodorant sprays, or strong scents
You’ll be sweating, sure. But strong scents can attract bugs and irritate fellow climbers. Embrace the mountain musk.

Truth is, you need less than you think. Pack light, pack smart — and save your energy for the summit.

Front row seats to the wild.

There’s nothing quite like the view from a safari car—windows down, camera ready, and the thrill of spotting something incredible just around the corner.

With Greg Adventures, it’s a front-row ticket to nature’s greatest show. 🎟️🦁🌍

What most people don’t know about elephants…
Yes, they’re massive. Yes, they’ve got tusks and trunks and ears like open parachutes. But if you think elephants are just gentle giants wandering through the savannah — you’re only seeing part of the story.

Here’s what most people don’t know:

Elephants are some of the most emotionally intelligent animals on Earth.
They mourn their dead. They form lifelong friendships. They comfort each other with gentle trunk touches. And they pass down knowledge — like migration routes and safe waterholes — from matriarch to matriarch, generation after generation.

But they’re not just softies either.

They can be fiercely protective, strategic thinkers, and surprisingly silent for their size. (Yes, an elephant can sneak up on you. And no, you will not hear it coming.)

They’re not just one of Africa’s Big Five — they’re wise, sensitive, and powerful all at once.

👇 Have you seen an 🐘 in the wild before?

You arrive as strangers. You summit as family. 🏔️❤️

There’s something about the Kilimanjaro trek that brings people together. Maybe it’s the shared goal, the early morning coffees, the jokes on the trail, the shared suffering or the way the Greg Adventures team has your back every single step of the way.

By the time you reach the top, you’ve not only conquered a mountain—you’ve built a bond with your fellow trekkers and crew that feels like family and that last a lifetime.

Trust us—Kili is life-changing in more ways than one.

Are cheetahs more dangerous than people think?
They’re fast. They’re sleek. They’ve got that intense stare that says “I could outrun your car.” But here’s the thing — cheetahs aren’t exactly the apex predators many people assume they are.

So… are they more dangerous than people think?
Actually, the opposite might be true.

Cheetahs are built for speed, not power. Unlike lions or leopards, they don’t have strong jaws or the strength to drag prey up a tree. They rely on stealth, strategy, and a burst of acceleration that can hit up to 100 km/h. Impressive? Absolutely. But it also means they avoid conflict whenever possible — even with animals like hyenas and jackals, who often steal their hard-earned meals.

And when it comes to humans? Cheetahs are some of the shyest cats in the wild. They’d much rather keep their distance than come too close.

So no — cheetahs aren’t more dangerous than you think. If anything, they’re more vulnerable. But they’re also one of the most graceful, awe-inspiring creatures you’ll ever see on safari.

Would you want to spot one in the wild?

There’s nothing quite like being just a few metres away from a wild elephant.

You hear the crunch of twigs underfoot before you even see them. A low rumble rolls across the savanna. And then—there they are. Majestic, calm, and far bigger than you imagined.

One of the most unforgettable moments on safari is watching elephants in their natural habitat. Whether they're gently flapping their ears to cool off, tossing dust over their backs, or guiding their tiny calves across the road, every move feels like a scene from a documentary—except you're living it.

It’s humbling. It’s peaceful. It’s real.
And our experienced guides make sure that these close encounters happen safely—for you and for the elephants.

📍Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro… wherever the herds roam, we know where to find them.

How was it for you when you saw your first elephant in the wild?🐘

GREG ADVENTURES FOR YOUR ADVENTURE

If a visit to Tanzania is on your bucket list, we are here for you. Satisfy your wanderlust with Greg Adventures. Whether you are planning to go backpacking in Africa or want to splurge on a luxury vacation e.g. for your honeymoon, we can arrange for you an unforgettable experience.

Picture yourself observing the lions, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes and hundreds of other species of the animal kingdom in their natural habitat. Sleep under the starry African sky in the safety of a tent or a lodge, listening to the nightly sounds of the wildlife.

For a more active holiday we can take you to the “roof of Africa”, Kilimanjaro. Climb to the top of the highest free-standing mountain in the world with our mountain crew. Or conquer its “little sister” Mt. Meru or the “mountain of god” Ol Doinyo Lengai.

If you want to enjoy white sand beaches and turquoise water let us take you to Zanzibar, known as the spice island. Or if you wish to avoid crowds, Mafia Island and Pemba Island are more off-the-beaten-track destinations. Tanzania also has beautiful beaches along the coastline.
