Travel reviews by Dr & Mr G - Bangor, Wales

My Jul 2011 trip

On this trip, I visited Zambia between 10-Jul-2011 and 22-Jul-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.

Fantastic! Apart from the lengthy journey back, everything fell into place, and was amazing.

Brilliant

On this trip, I visited Tanzania & Zanzibar between 24-Jun-2009 and 7-Jul-2009 and I travelled with 1 other person.

We had a fabulous time. The camps were both excellent and the safaris were the best part of the trip, but chilling out at Unguja Lodge was also great.

Zanzibar Coffee House was perfectly acceptable, but a bit of a step down in terms of quality/comfort after Unguja Lodge and Selous Impala Camp.

All the internal flights and connections worked out perfectly, making the travelling stress-free.

Suggestions for improvemwents:

Perhaps you should mention in the pre-trip letter that return BA flights can be confirmed , seats booked and boarding passes printed 24 hours in advance at internet cafes in Stone Town, (and presumably at camps with computer access and a printer if they're willing).
Also include water shoes in your list of what to pack, especially for Zanzibar.
