Beautiful Intro to Kenya & Tanzania
Kenya and 2 other countries between 15 Aug 2019 and 5 Sep 2019
Our limited constructive feedback as follows: All camps provided toiletries and washing powder, so no need to bring. Camps advertising laundry services still did not wash underwear (male or female), nor handkerchiefs. Drive to Il Ngwesi from Wilson airport was interesting, but ended up as quite an odyssey as driver did not know the way through Lewa Conservancy to the camp. As no signs available, this ended up as an additional 2 hours of desperately trying to find the camp before dark. All good in the end, but maybe check drivers know their destination before setting off."

Il Ngwesi Eco-Lodge
"Stunning location, luxurious"
The world's most scenic shower and loo location. Bed on the deck under the stars was wonderful. Bushwalks very interesting, rhino walk memorable. Sundowners and sunuppers in beautiful spots. James had lots of stories to share.
Very convincing model of profits going back to the community."

Zanzibar Coffee House
"Coolest hotel in town"
Super competent women running the show and tasty coffee. A beautiful breakfast location on roof terrace.
They organized a brilliant guided tour around town on foot, which was very interesting and insightful."

Pole Pole
"Blissful, living up to its name"
Snorkelling was fabulous, as was the trip to Chole island, extremely interesting to see how people live and hear about their daily routines.
Pole Pole was blissfully quiet as a surrounding, food very good with interesting choices and some local foods on offer. Wireless access only in reception area, which made it very relaxing."
