Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs M - Belfast
A lovely honeymoon
On this trip, I visited Tanzania & Zanzibar between 24-Aug-2011 and 5-Sep-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Our trip was excellent, wouldn't change anything, and we had three very different experiences: safari in the Selous, beach paradise at Pongwe and urban madness (and excellent food!) in Stonetown.
Our arrival in Zanzibar was slightly alarming as we were hustled by bag carriers at the airport but that was as bad as it got. Our impression of Jozani forest was that it was a bit of a tourist trap but I don't regret booking it. I wouldn't rave about Eco+Culture as much as some other reviewers but their drivers were reasonably punctual and one was quite informative.
This was certainly the 'trip of a lifetime' and we have some great photos. I booked this as a surprise for my wife and she was very happy she let me do so!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
