Travel reviews by Mr G & Ms T from Oxon

These travellers experienced a serious theft here, which got their trip off to a terrible start. Although the clients were not physically harmed in any way, it was still very distressing for them.

Crimes happen everywhere, but are thankfully very rare on our African trips. After 18 years and thousands of travellers, we have only had 3-4 such incidents. We are completely satisfied that this was purely the work of a criminal, and dont believe that it reflects badly on the camp itself.

Although of little consolation to these travellers the camp responded very speedily. The same day, police and two car-loads of national park rangers were scrambled to the camp to investigate, and went to great lengths to try to catch the culprit including putting up a very substantial reward was put up for information.

In February, Tanzania is hot and fairly humid. We spoke to this traveller directly by mobile phone at this camp soon after they arrived, and did our best to address their issues swiftly as did the team at the camp.

These travellers had been understandably very upset by an (exceedingly rare) incident of theft at their previous camp and we feel that at least some of their feelings of unhappiness here were due to that incident.
