Trip was great.

Tanzania and 1 other country between 18 Jun 2011 and 8 Jul 2011

Trip rating: Excellent
"Trip was excellent. We weren't quite sure what to expect, and experience far exceeded our expectations. I think the last 4 days of the safari were planned around the migration, which wasn't taking place. As a result, we had 12 days of game drives, perhaps a bit much, but always found something new to see. Our first guide from Wayo, George, was spectacular. Other guides were also very good. The only part that didn't quite work, as I indicated in questions above, was the walking safari.

We found the tipping a bit awkward, since at least twice we were the only ones in camp. Several lodges don't take credit cards, and some didn't do laundry. We could have used more cash.

Overall a great trip - thank you.

Maramboi Lodge (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"review"

2 nights Arrived 22 Jun 2011
"Maramboi Lodge - lodge experience was okay but came away with uncomfortable feeling we were being hustled for tips every time we turned around - much more so than any other place we stayed.

Our cottage was the farthest out from dining area and a long, dirty walk on the sandy trail. Facilities, food were acceptable."

Serengeti Walking Mobile Camp

Serengeti Walking Mobile Camp

"Serengeti Walking Mobile Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 28 Jun 2011
"The only part of trip that didn't quite work. We took one 4-hour walk the first morning we were there, saw absolutely nothing, and were soaked literally to the skin from walking through wet, tall grass.

I guess because the wildebeest hadn't migrated through yet, the grass was tall and nothing to see. The rest of the time we went on game drives. The guide seemed a bit unsure as to what to do with us. We spent a few afternoons in camp, which was fine except we had been warned not to go more than about 50 feet from the tent.

We expected an opportunity for nature walks, to focus on birds, insects, plants, natural history, geology, really anything. But the guides seemed focused on big game which didn't make sense since we were walking."
