Where there were unforeseen difficulties they were swiftly overcome."

Southern Sun Dar
"One night stay at Southern Sun"

Siwandu
"Fab safari at Siwandu"
Some improvements had been made to the camp in the four years that have passed since our last visit.
We had heavy rains towards the end of our visit and they coped well maintaining our safari programme. Also despite the airstrip being closed due to flooding, suitable arrangements were made for our onward flight."

Ikuka Safari Camp
"Ikuka at Ruaha"
It should be made clear to travellers that they can expect to share game drives with one or even two other couples as the norm with no consideration of shared interests or stage of their stay. We had a bad experience in this regard but when queried with the manager, he was quick to resolve it. Furthermore, there was a huge difference in the two guides we experienced, though both were very knowledgeable, one was very passive, almost disinterested, whereas the other was passionate and engaging."
