Our trip
Tanzania and 1 other country between 21 Jul 2019 and 2 Aug 2019
The contractors you provided us with in Rwanda and Tanzania were equally well beyond satisfactory. I hope to go back someday. I hope you offer a discount for repeat customers as i would like to bring family members :)
Thanks much!

I visited the same park about 30 years ago. I'll say it was better than, just because of the crowd this time

Fortunately we did the walk prior day and went to Tarangire Park instead. Lake Manyara is nice, but it's not a place you need to spend two full days. Luckily we heard good things from other travelers about Taragire and were able to book it. if you guys don't normally include Tarangire, you absolutely should.
