Tanzania Experience
Tanzania between 15 Sep 2012 and 26 Sep 2012
"We asked for & received a luxury experience, the holiday, our experiences & the people we met will remain long in our memories.
The service from expert Africa pre-sale was excellent 'Chris' with great information shared, post booking we weren't aware they existed, arguably this works for some, we personally would have appreciated checkpoints to share learning a & ensure no basic mistakes including visas, clothing tips, medical tips 'not sitting on the fence regarding yellow fever inoculations' etc.
Regardless, this is relatively small beer' as this was a holiday of a lifetime!!!"

Feedback response
We were sorry that these travellers didn't feel we provided enough pre-departure information. With all invoices we send out a Bradt Travel Guide to the destination, along with a pack we've written called "Notes for Travellers" which contains information on visas, tipping, packing lists, some basic phrases and so on which we hope will cover most questions travellers might have. We'd always encourage our travellers to get in touch if they have any questions - no matter how small!

"You can choose to be as private as you wish with a great place to relax after an exhausting Safari.
The team looked after us really well, whilst allowing us the space to simply chill out."

"Maretha & her small team couldn't do enough, it's a place of beauty & tranquility in Dar'.
We had 2 nights at the end of our fantastic holiday & this was the perfect place on the Peninsula to relax & unwind including the sundowner at the waterfront following an opportunity to purchase any memories / presses prior to our return."

This really is a luxury Safari, with Karin & her team providing some fantastic food in great locations. The guides mentioned above are very knowledgable & attempt to cater for specific requirements / interests & the game was great to see, we never get fed up of seeing Giraffes & Elephants which we saw in abundance. The only thing we missed out on was wild dogs & leopard 'cest la vie'.
We appear to have been a little unlucky as controlled burning around the beho beho concession had brought swarm of tsetse fly into the area, which were a pain at times, however, we didn't allow this to spoil a fantastic experience
Overall the experience was first rate & made extra special by the beho beho team."
