    5. Overall level of satisfaction

      • Excellent

      Excellent

    7. The holiday was just magical and all choices and recommendations were spot on. The experience of a lifetime.

    8. Tribes service

      • Excellent

      Excellent

    10. Couldn't praise Tribes, Hannah in particular, more. A very friendly personal services and all questions and queries promptly answered. Couldn't have been more helpful.

    11. Expectations

      • Excellent

      Excellent

    13. All travel in country, parks, camps, hotels, facilities were spot on. So glad we went to Selous and not the busier northern parks, but that is a matter of choice. Expectations way over-exceeded.

    14. Guides

      • Excellent

      Excellent

    16. Rama at Sable Moutain and Davis and Emmanuel at Lake Manze were excellent. We spent more time with the latter (pair) and were really impressed with their knowledge and passion. A real plus for us - please pass this back to Tom (who was a great guy to meet and spend time with) at Sable and Sarah at Lake Manze.

    17. Social & Environmental Responsibility

      • Excellent

      Excellent

    19. I hope that some of our monies went directly and indirectly to the right places, but it is difficult to know, especially when buying locally. But yes, generally I feel it did. Also impressed, especially in Sable Mountain, at how eco friendly the camps are - no power and no generator even at Sable.

    4. Amazing location with all the wildlife literally outside the door - as close as you could get to sleeping rough / fly tenting (which we wouldn't choose to do). Service was top class, and atmosphere, and food were great.

    4. Beautiful location, and Tom and the team were excellent hosts. Much more rural and lush environment than Manze which was more dry and arid in its surroundings. The tents were excellent.

    4. Just amazing. Didn't see all big five but that was half the joy! So understated and crowd free but saw beautiful herds of buffalo, giraffe, elephants, zebra, wildebeest etc etc. And so much birdlife.

    4. Didn't spend a lot of time here, and maybe should have done earlier in the trip. Also it was the end of ramadan, so probably bit quieter than usual.
