EX-CEP-TION-NAL...!
How can I put this... I’m giving it 5 stars because you can’t give more than that...! I was in touch with Joël via WhatsApp for a year before going on this safari. Joël was outstanding in terms of his support, responsiveness, and kindness, and he clearly answered all my questions. When we arrived in Arusha, Joël was at our lodge to welcome us. We were then driven by Victor, our driver-guide for the entire duration of the safari, all the way back to the airport for our departure. Victor was also exceptionally professional, reliable, and kind—a careful driver who looked out for both his passengers and his 4x4. He took us absolutely everywhere we wanted to go and was able to spot animals hidden in the bush long before anyone else. Without him, we certainly wouldn’t have seen nearly as much. We came across many 4x4s from other tour operators during this safari (some of whom have a strong online presence and bill themselves as “Tanzania specialists”), but the flexibility offered by Joël and his team is unmatched.
In short, I recommend Chalema Tanzania Safari 200% if you don’t want to be tied down by a rigid schedule and if you want to be able to tailor your safari to your own pace while you’re there. Thank you, Joël; thank you, Victor. If we ever go on another safari, it’ll be with you.
