"Keep coming back!"
I visited Tanzania between 17 Oct 2015 and 28 Oct 2015
"The danger of returning to the same places is that subsequent visits may not live up to previous experiences.
This has never proved to be the case - my favorite places in East Africa never fail to provide new and exciting opportunities and the people are always delightful. Its never long before i think about the next trip!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Fabulous holiday"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 21 Sep 2015 and 2 Oct 2015
"We had a really great and relaxing holiday.
All the hotels and actives were well chosen for us. All our transfers worked very well.
Needed some advice from James about how much cash to take-and got it just right-thank you.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
May be worth adding in the information booklet that only need to pay departure tax for international flights from Zanzibar - but not from Dar
Can't think of anything else" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"My Aug 2015 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 5 Aug 2015 and 17 Aug 2015
"Our trip was absolutely incredible.
Liz worked with us and gave sound advice to create a trip that was beyond our expectations. Since I was a little girl I had dreamt about going on a safari in Africa and this was everything I could hope for and more. Our trip was completely personalized and we saw a lion chase a herd of wildebeest and kill one and then drag it almost a mile back to the pride. It was just us and our driver and guide. It was the law of nature.
Our guides and drivers were so knowledgeable and warm. We got to decide what to see and how long to stay. We watched the antics of baby baboons playing and swinging in the tree and playing king of the mountain. We saw a family of elephants playing in the water and a baby elephant nursing. It was just right mix of rustic and comfort and the everyone was so warm and helpful.
It was truly a trip of a lifetime." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
