It was the trip of a lifetime. I loved it all
Tanzania between 21 Jun 2019 and 3 Jul 2019
"My overall experience was excellent.
The only thing I wished for was that we would have had a guide and a driver in the safari truck in Kigelia Camp. But Elli did his best to fill in what he could and we still had a good experience.
I have dreamed of coming to see the animals all my life and I wasn't disappointed in any way."

Lake Manze Adventure Camp
"I liked almost everything about this camp. "
4 nights
Arrived

"I liked the placement of the tents, the Masai walkers who escorted us to an from our tents, the food (delicious), eating at a long common table under the stars at night, the arrangement of the common area, the bar, the Selous!
My only comment would be the Sean pours out a huge amount of information the instant you arrive. You're jet lagged and it's a lot to absorb...too much to absorb in one sitting.
Then the "rules" feel inflexible (even though you can't really remember them). We were a group of six women who all wished for a softer touch upon entry and more access to information as we settled in."

Kigelia Camp
"I liked almost everything about Kigelia Camp."

"Every creature comfort is met at Kigelia Camp. It is a lovely place to sleep and eat in the wild.
My only comment is about the safari guides. Where at Manza Camp the Safari truck always had a driver and a guide (and both were excellent), at Kigelia Camp the Safari truck was driven by the guide. The driving on severely rutted road is exceedingly difficult and even dangerous and takes incredible concentration. It is literally impossible for a driver to also be looking into the bush for animals every minute. It is also impossible for him to give as much detailed information about the animals as a guide who is not driving. The difference between the quality of the bush experience in Kigali and Manza was striking for this reason."

We got our bags delivered to the room quickly. They were satisfied with the tips we gave them. And all that can be said for the service the next morning. The breakfast was good."
