Excellent drivers; incredible trip
I had an absolutely amazing trip, where I saw lots of animals, incredible sunsets/landscapes, and met great people.
What made the trip even more amazing was my driver Salim/Simon. He was full of jokes, always happy, and incredible at finding animals. He adopted the itinerary to my taste and even offered hilarious extra's such as a local experience of eating ugali at a roadside cafe :') Spending 7 days with someone non-stop is a large commitment and Salim made it easy and fun; I would highly recommend any trip with Salim. I also had a chance to spend a day with Ziggy, who is great as well.
Only caveat for safaris in general: you should be very specific with your lodge/camp selection. Make sure to check the accommodation websites and to make sure you like the suggested properties, if not, ask for alternative suggestions that match your expectations. When you spend so much money on a trip, you want to make sure you are happy with all aspects of the trip :)

Amazing and wonderful .
Heading ' Truely a Wonderful and Fantastic '
Shammah Wonders are real doing wonders! From day one, since we ware communicating with Justine, the owner of the company, he was real committed and intact to answer all our querie. He assisted even booking for our rest place before tour day.
The tour to Mikumi was very greaty and fullfilled our dreams. The team was very organised, pactual and professional. The Guide was very charming and he did all efforts to make sure we saw any animal possible. We recommend it highly.

Spectacular and fabulous experience, espacially thé Tanzanie part with our guide Peter Damasi Mimja
I appreciate all the experience, the guides (Peter on Tanzania part especially), the animals, lodges and services, transport, the amazing nature and the beautifull landscape.
The lunch were so so... chicken all days, in the sun in the jeep during 4-5 hours ! The Explorer Nature Mara Lodge was the worst lodge (no hot shower, broken bed, not enough food...). I appreciate to be upgrade twice, it was nice places (with pool and really good food), thank !

Good budget option if you're short on time
Communication from the team was good both prior to and during the trip.
The schedule was kept to, and was made flexible by our driver who gave us options whilst on the tour.
The animals were great, and our driver did an excellent job of locating the best game and giving us amazing views.
We were a bit disappointed to see the driver littering whilst driving on the highway (not in the park). Being part of the "Ecotourism" group, I would have expected all staff to uphold higher standards on this subject.
