Great experience on the safari
We made a private tour - 10 days Safari in Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara. After then, 2 days relaxing in Zanzibar.
Our sarafi tour was excellent, we had Amin as a driver and guide, who is really awesome. He knows a lot about animals, history and birds and was able to spot every animal even while driving in huge distances. He mus have eagle-eyes! Above that, he is really a nice and funny guy, its also worth to hang around with him!
So 5-6 stars for the safari tour.
We were a little bit unhappy with zanzibar because Allano offered us Nungwi Beach Resort by Turaco for 2 days. We paied for it for 2 days (650 USD) but one week before departure he tould us that this resort is booked and that he changed to another "which is the same". That other "rresort" turned out to be the zenobia, wrecked down, no pool, and above that without electricity - no ac or fan in the night in the hot season. Rated by 3 stars and 100 USD per night. We checked at booking come and find out, that Turaco has still 4 rooms avaiulable. A lot of discussions with Allonao, he changed, but his biggest mistake was that he tried to charge us the Turaco again for the second night again. I was really upset and asked whim why we paied Turaco months ago and now should pay for it again - and finally he ageed and takes the costs for the second night. So in the end: We paied 2 nights Turaco 4 stars and got 1 night Tureaco and 1 night Zenopia 3 stars. Allaon, that was not ok. Apart from that, he was rellay a nice guy and always friendly.
So 3 stars for the Zanzibar part.
Conclusion: 4 stars
Book with him if you do the safari. I can't be better.
Book yourself with booking come for Zanzibar. That will avoid a lot of argue to get what you paied.

Posted on Apr 1, 2025Thank you for your feedback Tom
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the hotel in Zanzibar. The hotel had informed us that no rooms were available during that period, and additionally, they required bookings of more than three nights, which was not in line with your itinerary.
We regret any frustration this caused and appreciate your understanding. Your feedback helps us improve, and we truly value your support.
Thank
