My Dec 2018 trip
Tanzania between 28 Dec 2018 and 13 Jan 2019
"Absolutely loved the whole trip. It was quite surreal. To be among so many animals as if it were the most natural thing in the world is quite mind-blowing.
Now when I watch programmes on African animals I understand them so much more.
Tanzania is a beautiful place with beautiful people. I highly recommend people to go there and experience it for themselves.
I would love to go back."

Mdonya Old River Camp
"Mdonya Old River Camp review"

"A very different environment from Lake Manze. From my tent I could watch many animals. Such a treat.
Once again I was looked after very well. Wonderful hospitality. Arrived when a significant downpour happened - 110 mls. The tent survived it remarkably well. I wasn't affected at all by tsetse flies. I covered myself with the cream Expert Africa recommended.
Saw more of some animals I didn't see in Lake Manze. Much cooler temperature at this park. I think I preferred Lake Manze as I enjoyed the open plains and liked the heat but glad I experienced both. Again an excellent guide and driver and was well looked after by the Masai people. The food was excellent.
There was no wifi in either camp so did miss not being able to send photos and experiences home to friends and family."

Overall I had the most amazing experience and would definitely return. many people were coming for one or two nights whereas I stayed for four nights. I enjoyed feeling part of the place and could just enjoy being in the camp where all sorts of animals came through. Went on the boat safari but didn't enjoy it as much as the road ones. There were a lot of fumes from the boat and found getting stuck on the shallow part we went through quite scary although the driver had it under control.
I was travelling alone and found this no issue at all. Liked having my own personal driver and guide rather than being put with other people. The meals were good times to talk to other people. Loved how the masai people kept a watch over one."
