Excellent support and care throughout the trip, although the organization could have been better.
We had an overall good experience with Alkebulan Travel & Tours and enjoyed our trip to Tanzania. The organization and support we received, especially when we faced some health issues during the trip, were excellent. They were able to coordinate with the local operator and arrange medical assistance for us, including doctors who came to visit us when needed.
However, there were also some aspects that left us a little disappointed. Due to the changes that occurred during the trip, several activities and parts of the original itinerary were modified or reduced, and some of the lodges were changed along the way. While these changes were sometimes presented as upgrades, they did not always feel like an actual improvement compared with what had originally been planned.
We understand that some flexibility is necessary when traveling, especially when unexpected circumstances arise, but considering the price of the trip, we expected the original itinerary and accommodation arrangements to be followed more closely, or at least for changes to be communicated more clearly in advance.
Overall, it was still a beautiful and memorable experience, and we particularly appreciated the excellent assistance and availability when we needed it most. With a little more attention to organization, communication, and consistency with the agreed itinerary, the experience could have been even better.
A special mention goes to Omari, our guide from Serengeti Silence. He was an excellent guide, friendly, knowledgeable, professional and always willing to help. He was supportive during our health issues, making sure we had the assistance we needed. His presence made a real difference to our experience.

Very nicely organized trip to Maasai mara
Lucy at Alkebulan went out of her way to ensure that I had a good trip to visit Maasai Mara. shame this week gave me a range of choices for places to stay overnight., and I was quite happy with the lodge that we chose - the Masa Serena, which I highly recommend for its proximity to the park, good service, and beautiful rooms noted into the cliffs overlooking the park!
Lucy also made herself available to troubleshoot when small issues came up along the way, and recognizing that I was foreigner in East Africa, for the first time, she ensure that there were cars/drivers to pick me up and bring me to my hotel on all ends of my trip. She was also very helpful in identifying a few additional hotels during my stay and negotiating a good price at those hotels.
Overall, I had a very positive Alkebulan!
