Safarai in Kenya,and Tanzania followed by 3 days in Zanzibar This was one of the most fantastic holidays of my life. Crew on the truck were excellent and Clara the tour guide was a brilliant leader. The other guests were great and we all got on and they supported me as the oldest in the group.
Unfortunately Zanzibar was not as good. After a hectic time on safari with early mornings and sometimes long drives it would have been better to go to the beach bungalows first to recover before going to Stone town which was so busy with it's narrow streets and always in danger of being run over by car or scooters.
I would rather have had a day in Nairobi to recover from the overnight flight rather than getting off the plane at 4.30 am and being driven to Kembu Farm campsite. One day less in Zanzibar would have been good especially as it rained hard on the last day and we were just hanging around until 4.30 pm drive to the airport.
I loved Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater. And the safari in South Luangwa was something special. I think the guides on both safaris were excellent! The experience of camping in an open camp in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was beyond belief! And the camp in South Luangwa was really excellent!
Amazing Way to Spend a Week First of all, hats off to our guides, Albert (first 3 days) and Benjamin (last 3 days). They were both EXCELLENT drivers and very good at spotting the animals. We were able to see all of the big five, and the places we stayed were nice. You can't beat this tour for the price.
