My Jul 2018 trip
Tanzania between 5 Jul 2018 and 14 Jul 2018
"The trip was great. We saw many different animals. David, the guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.
I was a bit disappointed that even in the middle of the Serengeti there was internet access. I had hoped to escape the internet. There may be a market for lodges and camps that don't have internet."

Kitela Lodge (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)
"Kitela Lodge review"
2 nights
Arrived
6 Jul 2018
"As a lodge, Kitela was very pleasant.
Rooms were very comfortable, and it was enjoyable to be within a coffee plantation (although the coffee itself was not the best).
The main problem was that the lodge was over an hour from the rim of the Ngorogoro crater"

Safari in Ngorongoro Crater
"Safari in Ngorongoro Crater review"
7 Jul 2018 • All-day excursion
There are amazing animals in Ngorogoro crater. We even saw a rhino with its baby.
However, there really are a lot of safari vehicles, some of which are quite rude - cutting in front of you, speeding and blowing dust everywhere. When we saw the rhino there were over 30 vehicles.
I realize that's the price one pays for seeing remarkable animals in a remarkable place, but the amount of traffic was surprising

One small problem is that I left the charger for my iPhone in the room (room 31). I sent them an email, asking if they could put it in an envelope for me, but never got a reply.
If you could follow up, I would be grateful."
