1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?

Excellent safari, Made in Tanzania. Highlights included the Great Migration at Ndutu (best place to be in January), and massive elephant herds in Ngorongoro.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

Worth trying this local host. Great service and great safari.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

Yes it's well organised in Tanzania. It would be more sustainable if the roads in Serengeti were not scandalously eroded and flooded - we saw countless broken down 4x4s after heavy rains left the road impassable and rutted.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

Top vacation - thanks!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?

Ann in the office and Abu on the road are an amazing team! Ann put together a great itinerary and was very patient with all my questions, and Abu made sure we had a great experience covering many kilometres over the 6 days. Our 3 teenage kids loved it. We felt cared for and special and loved having Abu join us each night on safari for dinner so we could learn more about Tanzania. We saw all the Big Five as well as so much more. Loved having picnics along the way. Favourite place was Ngorongoro Crater which was magical especially when we descended early morning and were surrounded by a herd of elephants.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

If you can stretch your budget to flying back to Arusha, do, as we did a lot of driving!

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

When I started researching for this trip it was very important to me that a local company benefitted, not a travel agent in my own country. I felt comfortable making a booking because Responsible Travel had recommended the host company. We met Abu and Ann's family and could appreciate that our booking directly helped a local family, especially after the pandemic.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

Fantastic. Thank you for a great end to 2023!

I saw the big 5, plus cheetas, a serval and lots of other animals! It has been an incredible trip that I'll never forget.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

Just trust Ann and Abu and communicate your needs/wishes! they know what they are doing and they will do everything to make you have an incredible time.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

Definitely yes!!

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

Going on a safari with this operator has been an incredibly amazing experience! Communication and organization was flawless and extremely easy: I just gave them a budget and the days I was available. Then I landed in Arusha and the magic happened. Abu is a fantastic experienced guide: not only he knows a lot (and he shares it all with you!)and he can spot all the animals, he also predicts their behaviour and it's always in the right spot at the right time. I found myself surrounded by elephants, a step away from 2 lions or with a leopard running under our car. We were always to first one to leave and last to come back, he was always up to go the extra mile just to make things happen. I had breakfast looking at zebras, lunch with the giraffes - everything was thought in details and yet there was room for a personal touch! I saw the big 5, learned Swahili words, always felt safe and had a lot of fun. I can't wait to travel with them again, I will never stop recommending them!
