Experience of a lifetime
The communication at first was not that great because when we arrived at the airport there was no one to pick us up, we had to take a cab to our first hotel in Arusha. And when you arrive to a new country/ a new continent for the first time it is quite hard to know how everything is working and therefore scary not knowing if someone should or should not pick us up. We did not even know the name of is agent we only knew the name of the Swedish company TagAlong. We did not even have a phone or phone number to call stainbok adventures...
Also the communication was not that well when we traveled within Tanzania between the mainland and Zanzibar.
When we traveled to Zanzibar, we got left on the airport without any help in Arusha. And we had to fix everything by ourselves. We came to Arusha which stainbok adventures left us at, but later it showed that we had to switch airport to Kilimanjaro... The airplane was also 5 hours late. No one told us and we felt that people knew things they didn't tell us, we didn't get informed.
And also the flights between Zanzibar and Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar and Daar El Salam was under all critic. We had the wrong time on our tickets and we had to get help from our hotel manager Rasta, he fixed everything with help from Gidione.
However, when we got our guide Manuel in Arusha everything became so amazingly good. He took care of us, listen to what we wanted to see and do. His guiding was first class and we felt that we saw everything Tanzania had to offer. He made the safari excellent. We had some problems with the electricity at one of our hotels but Manuel help us with that.
We are all in all happy with our experience of Tanzania, Zanzibar and the safari. The problems however took down the grade of our expectations but it was such a wonderful trip and probably we will come back in the future, hopefully without any disruptions.
Best regards,
Ulf and Marie
Amazing
We had a custom safari (husband and wife) organized through Karibu Safaris In Kenya, since we wanted to see both Kenya and Tanzania - especially the Masai Mara and The Serengeti. It was a 10 day, 9 night trip. The best part was the Masai Mara - that was our first experience of the animals and it was incredible . Our Driver guide, Tom, was terrific and worked hard to please us. We didn't realize, although we had a good time, that the Serengeti was dryer. When we got there, there seemed to be fewer animals. We didn't realize when we booked that we would build a rapport with our first guide in Kenya. So it was difficult to adjust to another style of camping and so on, but overall Kenya was the best followed by Tanzania.
Review about Tarangire National Park by Ludwig
In one day we managed to see four out of the big five and a lot of other animals as well. The scenery is quite good and due to the fact that there are a lot of hills you can easily get a good view over the savannah.

Review about Tarangire National Park by wildlifepictures.se
Best place for large herds of Elephants in Africa. If you can stand tzetze flies you will love the place.

Review about Ruaha National Park by wildlifepictures.se
Hot and lots of Tzetze flies but still I love the place. It´s really wild.
Got upclose with the animals
The wildlife is exceptional, you can see the big five as well as numerous birding opportunities. The weather is just perfect for safari and accommodation is top notch.
One of the best South African Safari destinations.
PGR is one of my favourite destinations in South Africa. It boasts great numbers of game including the Big 5. One can do self drives or go on a game drive with knowledgeable guides.

Amazing elephant river crossings
Guide was great. The boat ride on the river was an amazing way to see the wildlife from a different perspective. Wildlife was a bit scarce but we did have two river crossings to watch with elephants which was the key highlight. Great sunsets. Chobe Elephant Camp was great, the staff were very accommodating.

Review about Kibale National Park by Callan
Chimps were fascinating and the natural surrounds were really lovely. A nice stopover between Kampala and the seeing the gorillas.

Review about Tanzania by wildlifepictures.se
Wildlife is excellent - best worldwide. Scenic beauty - lovely. Birding in northern Tanzania really good most of the year.
