My Aug 2023 trip
Tanzania and 3 other countries between 27 Aug 2023 and 22 Sep 2023
All went well but it would have been helpful to have the "hard copies" of Precision Air as there were glitches on their end. They had no record of us going on after Lusaka (right city??). We made it. And... All's well that ends well but we were put-on the wrong plane from the Serengeti to Kilimanjaro and they sent us to Arusha (along with another couple).
Precision Air then put us on another flight to Kilimanjaro but we missed most of our time at the lodge in Kilimanjaro before going on to Nairobi. We both decided that we would have skipped the Nairobi jaunt and gone from another city. Just FYI"
Feedback response
We were pleased that these travellers had such a great trip, with many highlights. Unfortunately, a couple of their flight transfers didn’t go quite as planned, which caused some confusion. A flight transfer from Serengeti to Kilimanjaro Airport travelled via Arusha and was delayed, meaning they had less time at their hotel. And the wrong information passed between a reservation office to their lodge meant the travellers were advised there wasn’t a record of their onward flight from Lusaka to Livingstone. Luckily, the latter was swiftly resolved and there was no delay or adjustment caused by the incorrect information.

The Highlands
"The Highlands review"
The staff and guides were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed Kaenel (sp?), our guide. He worked so hard to get us to spots that might hold certain animals as well as make sure we saw the high points of the crater area.
We liked the time spent with the Masai, cultural guide, Peter. He was a lovely person."
Olakira
"Olakira review"
He was perfect for David especially as he gave a lot of detailed scientific information about the animals, their behaviors, the Serengeti as well as the birds and plants.
He was very hard working to make sure we saw the important things."

Potato Bush Camp
"Potato Bush Camp review"
Again, great staff. Joseph, our guide, had each day organized to do something different which was nice after so many game rides. We did game rides as well but David fished, we went out for a sunset "cruise", we had a bbq dinner in the bush with another couple, we went canoeing (with guides in the canoes) AND went out on the Zambezi by boat to reach other game viewing areas.
All the staff (as in most camps) we just amazing."
