9 Day Customized Safari
We booked a 9 day tour through Tanzania with Zara, and they were wonderful. From the beginning, we were able to customize our experience so we got exactly what we wanted from our stay. Our Guide, Hamisi, was absolutely wonderful. From the beginning, he went above and beyond to ensure we saw and experienced everything we hoped. He took time to ensure we were comfortable, and the more we got to know him, the more we really appreciated what a good person he is. We upgraded all of our hotels, and when one of them was not to our satisfaction, Zanya went above and beyond to ensure we found the perfect hotel for our group. Some key highlights from the trip I recommend you do not miss: 1. Safari, of course! With Hamisi, if you can 2. Staying at the Serengeti Safari Lodge in the Serengeti 3. The Pink Flamingo Hotel in Moshi was unbelievable. And the management was superb, even helping one of our group get to a hospital when he fell ill 4. We did the Materuni waterfalls that ended at the coffee planation. The people were lovely and it was a great experience. Our guide was great, and the owner of the Coffee Planation, Innocent, was incredibly helpful when our youngest fell ill 5. The Hot Air balloon ride over the Serengeti with Majestic was incredible and wonderfully executed 6. We stayed at the Osiligilai Maasai Lodge, which was an incredible experience. Definitely take the time to go. Our guide, Gabrielle, was interesting and engaging, and we learned so much.
