We should also give a shout out to Lyndsey, not only for organising the trip and making some great suggestions, but also for rescuing the situation when our plane to Dar was delayed by 12 hours. Thanks, Lyndsey!"

19 Jun 2024 • All-day excursion
Everyone - or at least, every adult - should visit it, if only to gain some understanding of how the people were (and continue to be) affected.

Serena Hotel Dar
"Serena Hotel Dar review"
A bit of an oasis in a frankly unlovely city.
The poolside bar was a nice area to hang out, and eat & drink. Friendly staff."

Ikuka Safari Camp
"Ikuka Safari Camp review"
Still, five leopard sightings in four days is not to be sniffed at, and many of the usual suspects were also spotted. Our guide was Luca, whose depth of knowledge, eagle eyes and ability to make a mean sundowner were incomparable.
Food was mostly locally grown and would not have been out of place in a high-end restaurant. We really don't know how they do it.
The setting, many little touches, amazing efficiency and friendly service, all made this a stay we won't forget.
Thanks to everyone involved - not least our fabulous fellow guests."

The rooms were rather dated but clean and perfectly OK.
No complaints."
