The review below is the personal opinion of Robert and not that of SafariBookings.
Terrible service and trip
i, Antelope Safaris is the touroperator to avoid. I was together with my wife on this trip and the service was below all levels. everything they promised could not be delivered:
1. Guide was not interested at all- the first afternoon game drive was a rally: we drove with 70 kn p/h to our lodge.
2. The only comment he made was: "elephant" or "buffalo", hardly spoke any English
3. Guide forgot guidebook and binoculars. Tomorrow, tomorrow he said.The next day he got us broken binoculars and a dirty old guidebook.
4. We called Antelope safaris several times. They did not call back for the following reason: it is expensive to call a foreign number- as if we did not roam and as if Skype does not exist!
5. Very expensive operator (well you save money by not giving tips- they definitely did not deserve it
6. They came over to our place in Dar in order to apologize- see above to read how it went. They later explained that the" man did not like the fact that we complained"
7. They did not give any compensation- that strengthened our feeling that they really did not care about us, but just about earning easy money.
Conclusion: a guide can make or break a tour. Especially when that bad service is not backed up by skilled staff at the agency, but by people that hardly care if things go the right way. Avoid this operator.
