My Aug 2012 trip
Tanzania between 20 Aug 2012 and 27 Aug 2012
"A lot of travelling (and expensive) for a short trip but wonderful when we were there.
Object was to see the migration. I guess this is a bit hit and miss and, this year at least, we would have been better 3 or 4 weeks earlier. We saw what we wanted but I suppose it could be a disappointment if you were unlucky.
All in all an unforgettable trip - something I always wanted to do.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not really. We will certainly come back for our next trip to Africa."

Only drawback is that it is a bit far from town."
