efficient and professional
We appreciate the help from our guide Champion and the operator Erick. Eric is very efficient in response and preparing the travel agenda. Champion is very professional in looking for animals and taking good pictures. We have witnessed the big five. Really lucky to have the wonderful holiday.
The guide Champion was very professional in finding animals and had a very good eye. All six of us sisters in my group saw the animals we wanted to see.

Hard but Great Experience
I participated in a 3-night, 4-day tour in August. I wanted to travel to Serengeti and Ngorongoro, so I requested quotes from over 10 companies and chose this one as the most affordable option.
We visited Serengeti on the first and second days, Ngorongoro on the third day, and Tarangire on the final day. We were fortunate to see all of the Big Five animals, and we were able to capture moments of lions and elephants passing right in front of our vehicle.
Our dedicated chef prepared our meals. In the morning, we had light snacks and could make our favorite drinks with hot water from a thermos. At lunchtime, the chef packed the meals in a cooler box for us to bring along, and we enjoyed warm dishes in the evening. Everything was delicious.
For the tour transportation, they offered us complimentary transfers from the hotel in Arusha where we stayed the night before, to the hotel near Kilimanjaro Airport where we were supposed to stop after the tour. We had already booked hotels for before and after the tour, but it seems they have partner hotels and can arrange accommodations for the pre- and post-stays at a discounted or even free rate.
Thank you for the wonderful experience.
They provided plenty of bottled water, so there was no need to worry.
For those considering a similar tour in the future, here are some tips:
1. Showers may not have hot water and the availability may be limited. It's advisable to bring body wipes, and remember to bring your own towel. However, there might not be a place to dry them.
2. There were toilets without toilet paper, so it's good to bring your own.
3. Camping in tents for the entire trip can be physically challenging. Upgrading for some nights might be a good option.
4. Be cautious of dust as you may encounter a lot of it throughout the trip. Pay attention to your backpack and clothing.
5. Nights in Serengeti and Ngorongoro can be cold, so you will need a long-sleeve shirt, sweater, and a light coat.
6. Since there is no electricity in the tents, having a flashlight can be helpful. One that can be hung inside the tent will be useful.
7. Traveling on gravel roads may cause motion sickness. It's good to have motion sickness tablets. We also used insect repellent, cold medicine, and anti-diarrheal medication.
8. You may feel unwell from sunburn, so apply sunscreen. It's good to have a hat and sunglasses.
9. The customary tip for the chef and guide is $10 per person per day, so factor that into the estimated cost.

Excellent custom tour
Brian was great to work with. He developed a custom five day for our family of four including airport pick-up, Zambezi river cruise, Chobe safari and river cruise, Victoria Falls walking tour and helicopter ride, rhino walking tour and four nights half board at the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. Excellent local guides for all activities and Brian was very responsive to all questions. Highly recommend.
