Christmas 2013 to New Year 2014

Tanzania between 21 Dec 2013 and 3 Jan 2014

Trip rating: Excellent
"Amazing time to go to Africa, love the green season and we were lucky with the weather and sightings.

Did see leopard in two areas, cheetah, serval and lots of lion. Wildebeest migration as far as the eye could see was amazing. A great trip not too far distances between the different camps and areas.

Pole Pole was lovely just wished we could have taken longer here."

The Arusha Hotel (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Arusha Hotel Review"

1 night Arrived 22 Dec 2013
"Location was good for a first night prior to being on safari.

Food was poor due to lack of choice at the buffet, if you arrived late the chef's cooked dish was not available and limited choice for vegetarians."

"Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 26 Dec 2013
"A good Serena Hotel, a bit too big and busy for our personal tastes but glad we stayed here and I understand why this place was chosen, a great view of the crater, not too far from the route down and nice and warm."

Kirurumu Serengeti (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Kirurumu Serengeti review"

3 nights Arrived 28 Dec 2013
"Kirurumu Serengeti Mobile Camp was amazing, near to the wildebeest migration which we saw parts of each day. The staff and service was great, as we wanted early starts took packed breakfast with us.

Bucket showers on afternoon/ evening were warm and you could have as much water as needed, thanks to the staff."

Pole Pole

Pole Pole

"Pole Pole review"

3 nights Arrived 31 Dec 2013
"Pole Pole meaning Slowly slowly was exactly what it was like relaxing and everything you needed to hand and easily organised. Was very impressed with the trips offered and the area. Would highly recommend the personalised service recieved. Very quiet almost flet like you had the whole area to yourself.

A short walk when it was low tide to meet with the boat/ dive shop. Just need to be aware if booking trips/ dives to ask and make sure lunch/meals have plenty of time - ask in advance."
