"A truly memorable safari in Southern Tanzania"
"My Sep 2013 trip to Selous /Ruaha"
They were on-time and the facilities and service on the planes were good. However, the check-in desk at Dar-es-Salaam airport only opened two and a half hours before the flight so we had a couple of hours sitting in a not very nice area before the desks opened. However, after checking in and going through passport control you are then in a very modern area.
However, besides the downside of long-haul travel, our time within Tanzania was wonderful. All the arrangements went smoothly, and the camps and wildlife lived up to expectation. We are extremely happy with our choice of camps and all our experiences.
