The most profitable price, wonderful experience, but you should control each step
We were 2 of us and we've chosen 3-days tour: Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro & Tarangire.
It was wonderful and unforgettable experience! I would rate it like 4,5 - not 4, not 5 :)
Advantages:
1/ The best price and good value for money
2/ Agency considered our situation within bank card (we did not have any opportunity to pay in advance) and booked our tour without any prepayment
3/ The provided lodge was astonishing - Marera View Lodge (close to Ngorongoro)
4/ When our flight back was cancelled the agency provided us the hotel in Arusha for free (Arusha Tourist inn - not very modern and clear place, but for one night it's ok)
5/ Lunches in the parks were really tasty (rice, chicken, stew vegetables, lentil in tomato sauce and different drinks incl beer and wine)
6/ Guides were very nice and experienced, especially Malissa - thanks a lot!
Sone nuances.
You should check and control ALL details before and during the tour:
1/ lodge/camping - one of them was changed because of the shower absence in the room (after my questions)
2/ tickets to/from Arusha (we stayed in Zanzibar): at first we have agreed to have a flight back at 17:30 - right our 3rd day' program, but agency sent us a tickets for 14:30 and I should put the attention of our manager that we wouldn't have enough time to the 3rd day program. So, they changed our tickets, but only after my remark
3/ you won't be provided with exact schedule: e.g. according to our proposal we should go first to Tarangire, but when the agency met us in the airport and I asked about park of the day (if it would be Tarangire), at first they were a bit surprised and than told us that it would be Lake Manyara and Tarangire on the 3rd day. +Don't forget to ask a GUIDE about the exact pick up time for the next day of the tour!
4/ transfers - if you stay in Zanzibar don't forget to ask which exact transfer is included in the total price: because ours was only from Stone Town (that's located 15 minutes from ZNZ airport) and I knew it only after sending address of our hotel (that was in Ningwi, ~1h15min from the airport). So I should pay +80$ to the total price
