I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 10 Feb 2019 and 21 Feb 2019

"Great 2 week safari during the migration "

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 6 Feb 2019 and 19 Feb 2019
"We had a wonderful trip. It was our first safari in east Africa and something we will do again. In the past we have self driven and we were wary of being with a guide but Esto was excellent and knowledgeable. In particular he did not join large groups of vehicles around the big ticket wildlife causing them stress but drove on and found us something else that we could watch quietly."

"Tanzania - a fabulous country"

I visited Tanzania between 24 Jan 2019 and 12 Feb 2019
"Excellent. Serengeti, followed by Selous, followed by Zanzibar - a perfect combination I think.

The decision to stay in two camps for four nights each rather than move around more, was a good one. And 2 nights at the Crater in Sopa Lodge also worked very well." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
