My Oct 2008 trip
Tanzania between 2 Oct 2008 and 14 Oct 2008
"We had an excellent holiday, enjoyed our first visit to Tanzania very much indeed and we shall consider going back next year.
It was very interesting going from Dar to Ras Katani by mini bus especially waiting for the overloaded ferry at the fish market!
We noticed a much more relaxed attitude to clothing at the camps compared with the more strict neutral colour requirements in Zambia when on activities.
Suggestions for improvement:
Sorry no, because we have enjoyed all our trips with you immensely."

Impala Camp
"Selous Impala Camp review"

6 Oct 2008
"Well organised camp. The staff and guides were excellent, the accommodation was confortable and well located.
All the activities were well run, but individual tables for meals made it a bit more formal than Lake Manze, but it meant you had more personal attention!
Everyone was particularly kind as they were aware of Margaret's accident the previous year and we had a special starlight dinner thanks to Tessa Zanacchi."

Sand Rivers Camp
"Sand Rivers Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
9 Oct 2008
"Superb location, comfortable accommodation, food was no better than Impala, so we considered it generally overpriced.
Lack of hot water was a bit annoying at what is supposed to be a luxury camp. Shortage of game on the drives meant travelling a long way to see animals, but the birds were plentiful around nearby lakes.
The river trips were very interesting as was the one walk which we had and the guides were very professional."

"Enjoyed it much more than we had expected, and wish we had stayed longer. The food was excellent, the best of our trip, as was the service. A beautifully run place, relaxed but at the same time very well run.
Addition good service was their offer, accepted, to check us in on line for our return BA flight."

Tent location was excellent with good views and plenty of wildlife and a good introduction to Tanzania.
We also liked the communal dinner table."
