"A fabulous safari and island holiday"

I visited Tanzania between 16 Aug 2007 and 1 Sep 2007
"Fabulous !!!

We couldn't fault any of the locations, nor accommodation.

The service was excellent throughout. The arrangements and schedule worked really well.

Each of the 4 locations offered something different - we wouldn't have changed anything !" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari
