My Oct 2019 trip

Tanzania between 5 Oct 2019 and 12 Oct 2019

Trip rating: Excellent
"The Safari exceeded our expectations entirely.

It was an incredible experience with our 3 young children (9,7,4). The 7 day itinerary was perfect, and glad we got to spend 3 days in the Serengeti (our favourite of the 4 parks). We didn't feel rushed at all, or pressured to see animals.

Our driver was fantastic. He drove safely and was knowledgeable, and passionate about his job. He was patient and great with the kids. Also the vehicle was in great condition (better than almost all others we saw) which helped make it comfortable.

The lodges were great, really comfortable without being over the top luxurious."

Lake Manyara Safari

Lake Manyara Safari

"Lake Manyara Safari review"

6 Oct 2019 • All-day excursion

Lake Manyara was a really special park. Small but quite diverse.

We didn't see the tree climbing lions (or any lions for that matter), but our guide/driver was in communication over the radio with others in the park and i don't believe any lions were seen that day. What we did see however were lots of elephants, incredibly close up.

Really enjoyed our day here.

2 nights Arrived 7 Oct 2019
"Great accommodation, grounds, staff and food.

Really enjoyed staying here. the grounds are amazing and it was great to jump into the pool after a dusty game drive.

Food was great (buffet) and we enjoyed making up our own lunch boxes each day.

Rooms were huge and well appointed."

Safari in Ngorongoro Crater

Safari in Ngorongoro Crater

"Safari in Ngorongoro Crater review"

8 Oct 2019 • All-day excursion

Really enjoyed our game drive in the crater. Views from the top were great, and lots of wildlife in the crater itself with some real iconic shots. Quite happy that we stayed outside the crater however.

Quite crowded in parts, especially when there were sightings of a Rhino (people obviously trying to see the big5)

Kati Kati Camp

Kati Kati Camp

"Kati Kati camp review"

3 nights Arrived 9 Oct 2019
"Great staff and a really special feel to this camp - a real Serengeti experience.

Food was surprisingly good, given we were in the middle of the Serengeti staying in tents!

Hot showers were a treat after dusty game drives, and sitting around the fire pre-dinner was really awesome watching the sunset.

Staff were great with our young children."

Olduvai Gorge visit

Olduvai Gorge visit

"Olduvai Gorge visit review"

9 Oct 2019 • Morning excursion

A nice place to stop and break the drive up.

Good set-up and they provided a short lecture in the outdoor area which was interesting.

Overall it was worthwhile.

We didn't bother driving on to see the moving sands.
