"Oyster Bay review"

2 nights Arrived 20 Sep 2011
"Wonderful Room opposite the tropical palm fringed beach.

Amazing food and communal meals with great company.

Very hospitable and helpful. I wanted to swim on the beach opposite the hotel and they arranged for a Masai to accompany me. I treated him to a drink (non alcoholic) at the local Bar on the beach, so was able to visit the local environs! Followed by a swim in the pleasant hotel pool.!

That evening we went down to The Waterfront and had a sundowner with Sean and his family and visited some local market stalls where I made some purchases which pleased me . The next day i was told how to set about visiting Bongoya Island and Sean lent me snorkelling gear so i was able to enjoy a boat trip, swim and snorkel ,relax, read and paint on a delightful island followed by an exciting boat trip back through big waves!.

Marika and her team, provided wonderful, wonderful food at elegant tables with great conversation. Cannot be faulted."

"Oliver's Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 22 Sep 2011
"I loved the Tarangrira, our guide was Masenga and was excellent. The Game viewing was amazing. We were surrounded by wild life in abundance. I am also interested in birds and this was also responded to, so that i was able to delight in seeing so many different species. ```````we had a great walk in the bush with Marcus, and saw a lion on his kill, and a little chameleon! large and small, some fascinating info talks and of course too many other animal experiences to mention individually

The lunches and sundowners and evening meals were great again with great company. A picnic one day was not good but otherwise everyhting was super on the food front. I had a wonderful time!"

"Amazing suite The Zanzibar to which we were upgraded, and a good swimming pool,
Enjoyable dining and excellent picnic food for our day in the Ngorongoro crater. Albert Marshall was an excellent guide and took me on an amazing game drive round the Lake Manyara park in the evening to visit the hot springs there.

Another very enjoyable visit"
