"Stunning safari"
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Can't think of any. All transfers went like clockwork. Everybody seemed to be in the right place at the right time and the hotels were wonderful.
As a matter of interest, before we left, I did enquire about hairdriers. Ellie was away, and my enquiry was dealt with by somebody else. My information was that Beho Beho don't have them in the rooms, but actually they do.
I think it would have been helpful to know that absolutely everything is included at both hotels, and there isn't a bill for bar, laundry or other extras on checking out. We could have got away with taking far less if we had appreciated that. We may have been told, but perhaps it should be in capital letters!"

yes. Dont oversell the potential problems and need for megga insurance....
Africa is welcoming, everybody we met was. Reading the site you may scare people away.
The BA Flight back from Dar was dire. They served snacks when we were really hungry. Up since 03.15a and
not fed till we got back to Heathrow." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 3 on a Tanzania safari

Please really emphasis the damp and coldness of the mountains when going to Rwanda to see the gorillas, it is not so much as to what to wear when climbing but how to keep warm in the rooms as everything feels damp, also take a torch as the rooms can get dark as the generators are only on for certain times, can make reading difficult."

"Holiday of a Life-time!"
We found all the dawn starts and long days a bit tiring, but well worth it. The amount of wildlife and how close we saw it was amazing.
I was impressed with the amount of help and knowledgable suggestions we had from Eleanor in putting together the trip.

"AMHarris trip to Tanzania"
I would also have appreciated a very clear "you must get a visa" as opposed to a recommendation to get one - other African airports issue visas on arrival with no trouble and I had thought Dar es Salaam would be the same - how wrong I was. Suggest you beef up your guidance on this point even more!!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"First Safari Experience"
Within 5 minutes of landing at the airstrip we couldn't believe the amount of wildlife we saw so quickly. At both camps the staff were excellent and the accommodation was very comfortable.
We will definitly be recommending these camps to friends and family.

"A lovely honeymoon"
Our arrival in Zanzibar was slightly alarming as we were hustled by bag carriers at the airport but that was as bad as it got. Our impression of Jozani forest was that it was a bit of a tourist trap but I don't regret booking it. I wouldn't rave about Eco+Culture as much as some other reviewers but their drivers were reasonably punctual and one was quite informative.
This was certainly the 'trip of a lifetime' and we have some great photos. I booked this as a surprise for my wife and she was very happy she let me do so!
