Professionally executed day trip, great guide/driver
We were picked up early morning in the 4x4 Safari jeep on time from our hotel in Dar es Salaam and given a booklet explaining the trip.
Philipe our driver and guide, who spoke perfect English, also explained the journey and what to expect. One of which was the charging facility & the fridge full of water & soft drinks available to us.
We drove for a couple of hours & had a break at a service station for coffee & pastries.
All through the journey Phillipe shared information and facts with us about places, animals and the flora and fauna around us.
We arrived about 10am and after a quick natural break started the drive around the Mikumi National park.
Over the course of the day we saw several dazzles of zebras, towers of giraffes, herds of impalas & elephants, monitor lizards, various birds & the snuffling and eyes of hippos cooling off.
We had access to binoculars & various animal books too, so were able to spot & read about all sorts.
The highlight of the day was seeing a pride of lions who had just caught their ‘meal’! We were so lucky to be able to witness that!
We had a good hot buffet lunch which was included and there was plenty of choice for all.
The drive back was broken up with a stop to try some fresh pineapple & again at the service station before arriving back at our hotel in the evening. A long day but well worth it!
Very well executed trip, communication beforehand via email/whatsapp was easy and we are so grateful to have chosen to book this through Allen & Wild Reality Safaris & have had such a knowledgeable & safe guide/driver in Phillipe!
Definitely recommend!!
