Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs I from York

"Plantation Lodge was the first port of call on our debut Safari.

A great guide called Njano met us and took us for a hot lunch which was fab after a long flight. We went on our first game drive straight away round Lake Manyara, which was impressive, saw lots of wildlife including elephants everywhere - brilliant!

Plantation Lodge was beautiful, the staff were lovely, very welcoming and the food was excellent.

Our second game drive to the Ngorogoro Crater was just as good as the first day, and I even spotted a cheetah and a serval!"

"This was the most amazing experience. We had some fab guides who collected us from the airstrip - Lucas and Emmanuel and we saw lots of wildlife on the way back to camp including a leopard.

The camp was amazing, tents were very luxurious and the food was beautiful. All the staff were lovely and helped us along with our very basic swahili.

Our main guides for the bulk of our safaris were Prim and Petana who I think have xray vision as they could spot lions miles away! We were very lucky to see wildebeest crossing the Mara River 3 times, which was great a truly awesome experience.

Was excellent for our honeymoon, expensive but really worth it, would love to go back but don't think we would be able to afford it, working out a way in, maybe I can wash the ladies underwear!

Such a fantstic place beautiful sunsets and great guides and staff to share it with, thank you. x"

"Was good to have a bit of a relax after lots of early morning game drives, and this is the place for that.

Beautiful beach and pool area. Watch out for the sea urchins though as I'm still picking bits out of my feet, a memento!"

"Rooms were clean and staff helpful, beware of the surrounding roads as I think tar had been spread over them for a road building project and you could lose your shoes, very sticky!"
