Everything we had hoped for and more
Tanzania and 1 other country between 3 Oct 2009 and 18 Oct 2009
"Best safari we have ever had.
Suggestions for mprovements:
You probably need to put more emphasis on the point you made about ensuring that US Dollars are post 2001. I ordered mine from my bank via the internet, and although I specified that they nwere needed for Tanzania i was give two $50 Dollar bills which were not accepted. I am taking up the matter with my bank's foreign exchange department. They should know better."
