"My Jul 2013 trip"
The service was fantastic from day 1 and very attentive and was exactly what I wanted. Help and input from team was great and there was fantastic communication and organisation! Thank you Elizabeth!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
"Tanzanian trip, July 2013"
The cancellation of the British Air flights to Dar turned out to be a bigger headache than we anticipated. Kenya Air service was not very good and the extra stop and layover time in Nairobi was frustrating. If others are going to Dar I'd suggest looking into other options.
We chose to be driven to Selous rather than fly. But that took 2 long days (7 hours in the car each day). When we arrived in Selous others told us that they often drove to Dar on a different road in about 6 hours. We would have missed Mikumi NP, but there really wasn't enough to see there to justify the longer drive.
We were really disappointed in Jongomero, although others there were very pleased with it. The upscale facilities, pool, etc. were enough to satisfy others (many who seem to be booked into a Siwandu/Jongomero/Ras Kutani trip), most who seemed to be on their first safari. We selected Jongomero because of the great guiding on walks that was supposed to be there. But that guide (Molly) had left. Game there was very skittish and vehicle-shy. After a fantastic 3 days at Kwihala, Jongomero was a real letdown. We took a chance on the place, knowing that Molly had left after we booked it. That turned out to be a mistake.
But on a positive note, our 3 days at Kwihala and 4 days at Chole Mjini were absolutely spectacular and the memories from there are what will stay with us from this trip." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"Great trip"
I would nevertheless make a suggestion: Siwandu is such a wonderful place that you should always end the trip by staying there. We stayed first in Siwandu and second in Impala and I’m afraid Impala couldn’t meet the comparison with Siwandu (though Impala was globally OK)."

"Selous awesome as always"
"Southern Tanzania Safari"
We did experience some rainfall in both parks, though more in Ruaha, but this did not unduly affect our activities and did not present a problem. We had some excellent sightings even though the bush was green and leafy, and it was actually quite good to have them scattered throughout the parks rather than being all in one place next to a water hole.
Both camps were excellent, in their different ways.
Can't wait to go again!
