Comment:
just a few thoughts about our resent safari tour.
Despite the initial pricing problem, I must say that the whole tour was very enjoyable, although not cheap.
Very good and professional was the tour planing and the perfect logistics with a dedicated personal involvement of Mwanaid.
The transit hotels Nairobi and in Arusha were good and met the expected standard . The "Kigongori Mobile Camp" was good and all of us enjoyed the stay. This was also due to the pleasant camp crew and their personal touch. This includes our driver John, who proved to be very experienced in finding the animals. The category "luxury camp" is probably a bit on the high side, but we enjoyed very much.
"Katavi Palahala" camp was definitely more on the luxury side. Management and staff were pleasant and together with the good driver made our stay a success.
In both camps we had the privilege to be more or less the only guests, so all the attentions was directed to us.
Lupita Island Resort was a memory of colonial luxury days. Beautiful, different, enjoyable. The resort management was professional and the accommodation something to remember.
I also like to mention the well organized air-services and their experienced pilots.
The good variety of Food and Drinks in all camps were plenty and tasty.
All in all, a safari tour to remember, especially all a those people who made it a success.
