Trip of a lifetime
Tanzania between 2 Aug 2016 and 10 Aug 2016
"We were in amazing hands from the moment we stepped off the airplane in Mt Kilimanjaro. Everything was planned perfectly. Our Expert Africa consultant Maruska was the most patient, kind and helpful agent we have ever dealt with.
Our trip was literally years in planning - with many many questions, itinerary changes and emails. We were nightmare clients but Marushka was amazing. She always patiently answered our questions, gave us many options, allayed any fears/concerns and guided us in our decisions. The end result was perfect and we are so grateful to Maruska!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Keep Maruska happy!"

Oliver's Camp
"Fantastic start to our Tanzanian safari!"
2 nights
Arrived 3 Aug 2016
"This was our first camp and wow - what a way to start! We stayed in one of the family tents and it was a perfect combination of slightly scary yet exhilarating tent experience for our boys and comfort/beauty for us parents.
Our hostess Jacky was incredible. Our bonfire pre-dinner social hour was a great way to unwind and share stories. Everything was lovely - an oasis in the middle of the park. We would absolutely recommend this camp to everyone.
And the park.....honestly dont have the words to describe the beauty of this park. You MUST visit this park. Being surrounded by herds of elephants a couple of different times is something we will never forget."

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
"Over-the top on the Rim"
2 nights
Arrived 5 Aug 2016
"This is a quirky over-the-top lodge sitting on the Rim of the crater.
Beautiful views down into the crater from your huge room with amazing soaker tub. Luxurious setting and accommodation. The staff and service were amazing. It is a more traditional feeling lodge (in a "Dr Seuss meets safari" kind of way).
Definately a unique experience!"

Lamai Serengeti
"Perfect 10 out 10!!"
3 nights
Arrived 7 Aug 2016
"We LOVED Lamai Serengeti. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Our favourite camp in Tanzania!
Clyde and Helen (and all the staff) were the most friendly and amazing hosts. It is perfectly located with views over the Serengeti - surrounded by animals and incredible scenery (elephants munching outside our room at night, leopard crouching in the rock on the road into the camp, wildebeest and zebra everywhere just to name a few....).
The rooms are beautiful! We had a family room which was perfect for our family of 4. Our guide Amos was incredible, super friendly and determined to give us the best safari experience (And boy did he deliver). We cannot recommend this camp highly enough."

Our hosts were very welcoming despite our unexpectedly late arrival and did everything they could to make us comfortable.
Our family all agreed that we wished we had spent at least one more night here!"
