My Jul 2012 trip

Tanzania and 1 other country between 28 Jul 2012 and 15 Aug 2012

Trip rating: Excellent
"A brilliant trip with a few minor issues in the scheme of things. Very glad we chose Tanzania over Kenya as we got a crowd-free experience and really got “in amongst it”.

The Serengeti in particular is a stunning place and the large wildebeest crossing we witnessed was an incredibly dramatic and moving experience. Overall, we feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to have had this experience.

Organisation / communication from E-A was excellent throughout."

Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge

Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge

"Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 1 Aug 2012
"Yes, it’s large and ugly, but we found the service good and friendly and if you want to stay on the crater rim it is a perfectly good place to stay without going bankrupt.

If I were to go there again I would stay “off crater” at somewhere like Gibb’s Farm"

Sayari Camp

Sayari Camp

"Sayari Mara Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 7 Aug 2012
"Guides excellent, the best we had on our trip (although they were all excellent at every location we stayed at). The camp’s location is perfect for seeing a large crossing (which we did after 3 days – worth the wait).

Smart and chic, but perhaps a little too much “style” versus substance. The food, although good, was trying to be too fancy and not as good as Oliver’s Camp or Serengeti Safari Camp. You need to make it clear in advance that the walking activity is an additional charge (currently $50 pp)."

Pongwe Beach Hotel

"Pongwe Beach Hotel review"

4 nights Arrived 10 Aug 2012
"Perfect beach location. Superb, fresh and well-cooked food. Friendly, helpful and informal staff. A really enjoyable place to stay and relax.

Rooms a bit basic and showers use salt water, but that doesn’t matter for a short post-safari relax."
