Tanzania 2019 review
Tanzania and 1 other country between 10 Sep 2019 and 28 Sep 2019
"An excellent trip that lived up to expectations. It was well planned and well thought out. Our only slight reservation was the Coastal Aviation detour to get from Tarangire to Ruaha, which took a lot longer than scheduled."

Kuro Tarangire
"Kuro Tarangire review"
3 nights
Arrived
12 Sep 2019
"We spent 3 nights at Kuro camp and we were astounded at the number of elephants, in particular how many young elephants there were. All the staff members were very welcoming and helpful. There were some Tsetse fly issues, but not in the camp itself, that seemed to be free of flies. The tent, the food and the game drives were all very good."
