My Dec 2013 trip

Tanzania and 1 other country between 26 Dec 2013 and 8 Jan 2014

Trip rating: Excellent
"We found all the arrangements for our trip excellent and we had no problems with any of our travelling arrangements.

We saw lots of game and our guides were superb, very safety conscious but determined to give us an excellent safari experience which they succeeded in doing. Their knowledge of the game was brilliant and they were very informative.

In retrospect travelling with a 23 and 25 year old we might have been better going to Zanzibar instead of Mafia, we found Mafia very undeveloped and therefore relaxing , they found it a bit quiet with some of the other activities expensive.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No you did a brilliant job."

2 nights Arrived 27 Dec 2013
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this delightful lodge, with excellent service and food.

Wonderful guide who made sure we saw lots of game , sometimes it became rather uncomfortable in the 4x4 without any shield from the hot sun."

Ndutu Safari Lodge

"Ndutu Safari Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 29 Dec 2013
"We found everyone very helpful , the rooms were fairly basic but quite adequate considering their location . Lovely views of the bush and welcoming camp fire in the evenings.

Some evenings the food was excellent, and on a few it was distinctly average but given to us in large quantities !"

"Pole Pole review"

5 nights Arrived 3 Jan 2014
"We enjoyed our stay at Pole Pole which was very relaxing. The current manageress had only been in charge for two months .

The food was little disappointing as only fish was served, however they were happy to find alternatives when asked.

I was ill during our visit and the manageress was extremely helpful and sympathetic. I think to make full use of this Island you need to be interested in diving to make best use of the marine park , some of the other activities were quite expensive."
