Dolphin and seal cruise
"Dolphin and seal cruise review"
28 Sep 2023 • All-day excursion
A good cruise although we didn't go to see the pelicans.
However, the food and wine served on board was unexpected and good.

My Feb 2019 trip
Tanzania and 1 other country between 10 Feb 2019 and 21 Feb 2019
"We had a wonderful time.
The combination of the comfort and relaxing atmosphere of Gibbs Farm with six nights under canvas at Dunia and Olakira worked very well.
We saw the migration at Olakira but the game viewing at both camps was exceptional."

"Lovely camp.
The only slight negative was that the veranda was facing the sun and it was too hot to sit out in the afternoon. But apart from this minor comment, the camp was excellent with friendly staff and good trackers and guides."
