"The holiday of a lifetime"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 11 Aug 2011 and 24 Aug 2011
"This was a holiday that pleased the whole family. Our teenagers were enthralled. They loved the adventure and learning all the information about the animals and plant-life. We saw many more animals and birds that we had thought possible in that short time and we were looked after perfectly. I don't think I've been on a holiday where the staff are so keen to see you enjoying their country.
Relaxing by Zanzibar's beautiful beaches was the perfect rest after the busyness of the safari.
Many thanks for organizing such a wonderful trip.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Perhaps describing the location of each camp a little more fully. But, that said, we were thoroughly satisfies with the service you gave." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Tanzania southern circuit"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 28 Jul 2011 and 14 Aug 2011
"Great trip - went perfectly to plan (apart from trying to enter Ruha on August 1st - I will provide separate commentary about this).
Accomodation and transfers could not be faulted. Staff throughout very very good, and invariably excellent. We felt each of the lodges went out of their to make a stay special.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It seems worth keepng an eye on the Authorities in Tanzania. Politically there are issues and undercurrents that, on this occasion, broke the surface.
Just as an aside: having gone to trouble of getting Visas in advance, immigration managed to to process none Visa holders more quickly that us: management of arrivals hall was rather desperate." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zanzibar holiday

"A fantastic honeymoon we didn't want to end!"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 25 Jul 2011 and 12 Aug 2011
"We really enjoyed doing the relaxing part of our honeymoon on the beach at Zanzibar first, and would definitely recommend this order to stressed wedding planners! It also gives us time to reflect on the wedding day itself before starting on a more active safari. Equally we loved finishing the holiday at the more luxurious of the camps.
On reflection, 2 nights in Stone Town was probably a little long for us as we enjoyed the other elements of the trip significantly more. All transfers worked smoothly, with clean, comfortable vehicles, and friendly drivers.
Thank you very much for organising such a wonderful honeymoon, we will definitely recommend you to any friends and family planning a trip to Africa.

A final payment reminder for honeymooners would be very helpful as you have so much else to be organising at the same time! Liz was very good at letting us know when monies had been received and sending quotations etc. Thanks!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"An excellent trip that was very well organised. They provided great support all the way through with the traveller notes and guide book, we would have no hesitations in reccomending the company to others.

As honeymoons go, we feel very lucky that we were able to go on such an amazing trip!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
