Jason – I promised you that I would write about our recent trip to Tanzania. In a scale of 1-10, we would give it an 11. Absolutely fantastic. From the time we landed in Kilimanjaro airport until the time we returned to Kilimanjaro, we never had to worry about anything. We breezed through entry with the &Beyond representative and from then on they took great care of us.
Arusha Coffee Lodge – Great place. We were glad that we took advantage of the coffee tour. Very educational plus an opportunity to see dik-diks and Vervet Monkeys. We took a quick ride to the Arusha Cultural Center which is a must see in my opinion but we didn’t give ourselves enough time there.
Serengeti – My favorite safari location. Got to see everything we came to see except Leopard, which we saw later. Grumeti camp was awesome and being right on top of the hippos was very cool.
Lake Manyara – when we arrived, the foliage was so dense we wondered how we would see any animals. We were pleasantly surprised as the time we spent there was filled with animals. We had the best butler ever at the camp. He was excellent.
Ngorongoro Crater – The lodge was a great way to end our trip. More upscale than our previous tent and tree house, it was perfect. The animals of course are the star, and that was great as well.
All in all, we had excellent guides, great food and a fantastic experience. I think staying with &Beyond throughout was better than being handed off between companies. I would highly recommend &Beyond.
Thank you for putting together such a great itinerary.
