ON SAFARI
- Tanzania
Andrew, Yvonne and family travelled on a special celebration holiday to southern Tanzania and Zanzibar
Hi Michele, I want to thank you for arranging such an amazing holiday for us. Everything about it was great, and we are still on a ‘holiday high’. We got to see all that we hoped for and much more besides, including some relatively rare animal sightings (we are told) – cheetahs chasing a leopard, honey badgers, African wild dog pack, and a 3m Python. The travel arrangements between hotels and camps was all executed perfectly. The camps were brilliant – accommodation, food, atmosphere. The people we met very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and engaging. The hotels were also just great. Also – you having tipped people off about why we were having the holiday, resulted in a few spot points of ‘special’ treatment at both camps and at Next Paradise. This was a very nice touch. Safari Consultants’ up front advice was all good and prepared us well – so you score on that front as well.

Dear Rob, we are now getting back into everyday life after our wonderful holiday in Tanzania and Zanzibar. Thanks to our initial long discussion on the phone when planning our holiday we got it about right. It was a long trip from Nairobi to Olivers Camp in one day and I arrived with a headache and suffered side effects from malarone which I had taken before, but Justin and Jackie at the camp were excellent. Our driver was experienced at knowing where to find game and was knowledgeable when asked questions. The walking safari with Lewis was incredible, if somewhat scary, when we encountered a young male elephant 100 yards away, but we trusted Lewis’s professionalism and learnt a lot. Gibbs Farm was a wonderful haven and the food was excellent . We enjoyed having a day to tour the farm veg. plot, watch the coffee beans being dried and then a walk to a wood carvers. Serian provided another amazing experience and Alex and Robyn were attentive hosts. The highlight was seeing a close up of a leopard and also driving through the vast expanse of the Serengeti, covered with hundreds of thousands of wildebeest. We had two long days of game drives from 6.30am-6.30pm, taking our breakfast and lunch and these were superb. Breezes on Zanzibar lived up to its name, but was a lovely hotel and we had some long walks on the beach. Stonetown was so interesting and we went to Prison Island to see the Giant Tortoises. I am glad we had a night there because the highlight was sitting in the evening on the floor of a roof top restaurant eating the most delicious food under the stars. So , thank you for all the efficient organisation and your expert knowledge of both the camps and best areas to go to. The holiday certainly lived up to our expectations.

Dear Rob, Jackie and I would like to thank you and your associates for the splendid luncheon last week. It was great to talk to other safari enthusiasts and share our experiences. Further thanks for the support and guidance you gave in helping us decide our choice of safari. Southern Tanzania was an excellent choice and gave us another perspective having seen Kruger and Kenya. Tenting was a great experience and one which I think we will repeat. I think its fair to say that we did not see as many animals as we anticipated although we saw most species. You did warn us about that. We saw Cheetah and Leopard which was on our list and to some extent the lack of animals was compensated by the birds we saw which were amazing. The Management, service, food and accommodation at both camps was excellent but the Bandas at Mwagusi were outstanding. Eight days was long enough for us and the respite in Diani Beach at Asha Cottage was just right. Overall the trip was excellent and we are looking forward to next year, whatever style of holiday that will be.

Hello Mary, First a big thank you for having arranged our holiday, we enjoyed both camps, Kwihala and Impala, they were different and complimentary and we were very fortunate to have good guides at both camps. We found Tides a great place to relax and do very little other than read. Thanks again.
