Date of trip: 11/04/2014
Number of people: 2
sat in our jeep by a river with thousands of wildebeest massing on the other side, then they started to cross right in front of us , the noise ,the smell the sheer size of the herd, truly amazing.
A lioness and her week old cub used our jeep for shade . Leopards resting in a tree 3 metres away from us, a dung beetle rolling his find across the road, Elephant using our jeep as a scratching post,Cheetahs playing by the lake side, lions hunting, hippo,s wallowing . Memorys to last a life time.
Tribes Overall:
from being picked up at Niarobi to being dropped back off we never had to worry about a thing,our experience was out of this world and can not think of any way we could have improved it. Saw the most wonderful sights ,stayed in diverse accommodation which were all excellent for different reasons different reasons, a holiday of a life time.

The places you stayed
Isoitok Camp
Tanzania
This was a great place ,you felt like you were in the wilds with a bit of luxury, loved using the camp open air showers, the campfire, eating in the mess tent, stunning veiws and really unique and exiting place to stay
Ndutu Safari Lodge
Serengeti National Park
This was my favourite accommodation, I loved our little lodges with lovely veiws out to the lake and the plains, the layout felt right. Sitting by the fire with Dikdik and zebra coming for an inquisitive look, the Gennets sitting in the rafters, excellent food,felt at home here.
Bougainvillea Safari Lodge
Tanzania
Great place to end your safari experience , with a refreshing dip in the pool and huge bunalow style rooms , good food ,good service and Mbise was allowed to join us for breakfast
Breezes Beach Club
Tanzania
This was the island paridise my daughter was wishing for, her face when we arrived was hilarious, her jaw literally hit the floor. Built a good friendship with our waiter Ntwana, had a few days relaxing by the pool, snorkelling in the indian ocean was like being in Finding nemo, ,tried some new water sports and had a wonderful stay.
