Great Organization – 32 Days On Safari – 7 Camps, 4 Countries & 10 Locations

Below Review First Appeared On Our Google Reviews Page

Great organization by Raza – even when we had to change the dates due to illness. Our trip was 32 days, included 7 camps, 4 countries, and 10 locations. Would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone looking for an agent to do all the hardwork. The connections all worked like clockwork and did not waste time.  Camps and places we visited;

Chinzombo
Probably the best camp overall, great food and accommodation was very comfortable. Food;10 Accommodation; 10 Guides; 10 Overall; 10

Royal Zambezi Lodge
Enjoyable esp as the elephants wondered thru the camp.  Martin the manager was really helpful and arranged several “special” lunches and dinners. Food; 7 Acc; 9 Guide; 7   Overall;  8

Arusha Coffee lodge
Accommodate was good, the tv was a bit poor due to the satallite connection. Food; 6 Acc; 8 Overall;  7

The Livingstone Hotel
Nice hotel in a great location.  We arrived a little late – 530pm to be told we could not dine in the dining room for dinner as it was fully booked.  On complaining the restaurant manager then found us an opening. Butler service was good. Note the pathway to falls closes at 5pm.  Food; 5  Accommodation;  8 Overall;  6

The Manor at Ngorongoro
Great accommodation, the suite, lounge and fires made a real atmosphere. Food was really good except the packed lunches which were “thrown” together. Butler was good, ran a bath for us without asking, which was great after 12hr dusty safari.Food;  8 Acc; 10  Overall; 8

Serengeti Pioneer Lodge
Only had one night here so difficult to say much.  However, they had listened to our food wishes and did us a special fish dish.  Staff were helpful.  A great view of the sunrise.  Accommodation was a little smaller than the other camps, and shower did not seem to have a lot of hot water.Food;  8 Accommodation; 7 Overall;  7

Lemala Kuria Hills
Great camp, luxury accommodation with plenty of space.  The food choice was good, quality was fine.  The bar was probably the best.Food;  8   Acc;   10     Overall;  8

Il Moran Governors
Great experience.  Some really good drives with “Paul” our guide including sighting of the rhinos and cats.  Patrick the manager arranged dinner by our tent – there was a big American party in so it suited them aswell and he threw in a bottle of sparkling wine.  The staff were good.  Lunches were better than the dinners, the packed lunches were really good and also the sundowners.  The showers looked a little dated and could do with some reno.

Food; 9 Acc;  9 Guides; 10  Overall;  9

Matemwe Retreat
Interesting place, the private villa was perfect.  I assume they have got ride of housekeeping as the butler seemed to do that. It was shame the resort was nearly empty when we were there as it meant we missed out on the weekly BBQ, they did offer us seafood on the day.  The food choice every day was really good – all meals.  I found it annoying that they charge for taking people to snorkel on the island. Food; 9 Acc; 10 Overall;  9

Zanzibar Serena Hotel
Great experience in Stonetown.  We had a room overlooking the sea, however, it was a little cramped.  Staff were helpful.  Food was OK, we ate breakfast but eat out for lunch and dinner as the menu at hotel did not look interesting. Food; 6 Accommodation; 6

Roho Ya Selous
Great breakfast and lunches but dinners were disappointing for us as the non meat options were very limited.  Hamza, the senior guide, was super.  The packed lunches and sundowners were really good – probably the best on trip. Food; 8 Acc; 7 Guides; 10  Overall  8

Yuda, the guide in Tanzania – 10.
Yuda, clearly loves his job and was more excited to see some of the animals then we were – I guess he knows how rare some of them are.  He got our luggage back despite Kenya airlines doing their best to not return it to us.  His driving is good – no unnecessary risks being taken.  His experience showed on several occasions when knew what the animals were going to do before any of the other guides.  He took us on the back roads which for us was great as there were not many other tourists there so meant we felt more exclusive.
