The review below is the personal opinion of Neil Bradburn and not that of SafariBookings.
Shambolic
I booked a mid range tour but was put with a budget group meaning I stayed at different places than the rest. This put an average of 2 hrs a day extra driving each day meaning I arrived at my lodge at 8pm, 7pm and 6.30pm respectively the first 3 days despite very early starts.
One day we arrived at a lodge to be told that I didn’t have a booking but I was in fact booked into a place 45 mins back from where we had just driven.
The following morning we had to retrace the route again to pick the others up then drive back again to enter the Ngorogoro crater.
I had been in the car 2 hours despite being a 10 minute drive to the entrance.
On the final day I joined a new group but as before the tour, I had to chase Noel up twice to find out what was going on.
It was as though he just didn’t care.
I had no contact during or since it ended to see how I found it.
It’s easy to say it’s Africa and that’s the way it is but I’ve been travelling around here for 4 months and this is without doubt the most shambolic episode I’ve had.
I definitely would not recommend this company.
