Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs B from Reading
A memorable trip
On this trip, I visited Tanzania between 17-Nov-2011 and 2-Dec-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Everything worked like clockwork.
We had good flights and the accommodation at Sand Rivers was excellent, particularly when you think how far from civilization we were. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and produced good food. On our safari rides we saw a wide variety of animals, including a leopard, crocodiles, two prides of lions, a herd of buffalo, hippos out of the water, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, elephants, warthogs and many more.
We also saw a wide variety of birds, including Goliath herons, Marabu storks, spoon bills, fish eagles, pelicans and many small birds. We had two trips on the Ruffiji river where we came into close contact with hippos and crocs and had sundowners on the shore at sun set which was magical.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and was willing to spend as much time as we asked at various viewing points. We can strongly recommend leaving the Camp very early and having breakfast on safari.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
