Kimondo Camp, Tanzania (this camp has since closed)
"Bush Camp with very comfortable facilities"
3 nights
Arrived
6 Oct 2013
"The warmest of welcomes and the kindest of staff have made a great impressin on both of us. Absolutely the last word in hospitality and thoughtfulness.
As in all the Parks we had a fantastic chance to see the wildlife with superb guides and support. The trip delivered on all fronts. The one element that needs rethinking is the Bush Waklk around the Crater where we were given a five minute wlk ( we took much longer as we enjoyed being out of the Jeep. We were accompanied by a ranger with a gun who knew nothing of the environment (but looked after our safety. The walk needs to be managed more comprehensively and made more informative. Our guide Martin stayed with the Jeep when he would have been a much better guide. Both Martin and Elia, our guides filled their roles extremely well and were one of the key elements of our trip."
