Safari in Tanzania, short trip to Zanzibar
Tanzania and 2 other countries between 5 Jun 2009 and 20 Jun 2009
The Shooting Star in Zanzibar was very nice, and again the staff very helpful. I think we enjoyed the safari part of the trip more, though - Zanzibar was more a place to relax and do nothing and we're not very good at that! Four nights was enough.
Ellie helped us with the booking and she has been great - she didn't mind any of us ringing up with lots of questions, and could always give you a sensible answer. She really knew her stuff!"

Lemala Ngorongoro
"Lemala Luxury Camp Ngorongoro review"
It was cold in the morning and evening but luckily we'd taken a few jumpers. Liked having the trunks to put all our stuff in as it kept the tent tidy.
Location was fantastic - we were in the crater very early in the morning before other vehicles."

Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp
"Nomad Serengeti Safari Camp review"
Babu Tryphon and his assistant looked after our every need when we were in the mess tent. All the staff were really nice. Laundry service was very good and very fast.
Excellent location - we saw lots of animals and were right in the middle of the migration with a fantastic view from the dining tent."

Nduara Loliondo Camp, Tanzania (this camp has since closed)
"Nduara Loliondo Camp review"
We particularly liked doing the walking safari and the night drive which we'd not been able to do at our other camps and visiting the maasai village. The food, laundry, service, everything was excellent.
We had a couple of lovely surprises too - I don't want to spoil things for anyone else, but they were much appreciated and involved a campfire and a breakfast! I think Nomad should advertise this campsite more, as it was truly spectacular."

Shooting Star Lodge
"Shooting Star Lodge review"
The only thing I would say is that if you want to do activities, rather than just relax, it can be a bit limiting because of its location. We did have a lot of mosquitoes in our room and I think they could do with putting some netting between the roof and the walls and possibly all over the inside of the thatched roof, just to try and reduce them but not being a mosquito expert or an architect I don't know how practical that is.
We were made to feel very welcome and it was a very pleasant place to stay. The food was absolutely wonderful."

I felt they could be a bit more organised about sorting out your bill - it was very much on an honesty basis."
