Beautiful environment, wildlife and very kind people
This was the voyage of our Dreams. It startend a Year ago with the planning. I had the luck to get in contact with Desiree de Ridder from Afroriginal. She helpt me and gave us advise to book with them the safari of our Dreams. We are with 7 personnes. We were picked up from the AirPort bij Fay and Steward, our guids and drivers for the next week. We started in Arusha with the Arusha National Park. really relaxed to get used to the Cars erachter and how everything works. the kanoe safari was great and we spotted Rhinos in the water.
The next day we went to Lake Manyara National Park. We stayed in the Wayo Green Camp. It was like a fairy tale. Your meal under the stars with the Buffalo 15 meters away looking at you. We have seen a lot of animals and we had there also a night game drive. We slept in tents, it was fantastic. The food was delicious.
We had 2 landcruisers with Fay and Steward as drivers and guides. They told us a lot about the Parks and wildlife. Special story's about animals and the Masai. They are very nice to travel with.
After the Lake Manyara National Park we went to the Southern Serengeti. It was a beautiful drive we saw Masai villages, and at the end of the day the first Lion. We slept in the Ndutu Kati Tented Camp. A camp with a beautiful vieuw. Everything was perfectly arranged. The next day we went to the Central Serengeti . IT was amazing to see the migration. Thousends of animals, zebra's wildbeests. We saw a leopard in a tree, cheeta mom with 4 childeren. To much to tell.
We slept in a Kati Kati Tented Camp at night a ostrich, hyena and elephant visited the campsite.
We drove the next day to the ngorongoro Lodge, saw on the way a lot of animals. And had to say farewell to the Serengeti. We left early in the morning to descend into the Crater. It was special to see how green it was here.
The silence. I think it looks like the garden of Eden. Very impressive.
In the afternoon we drove to our accommodation Tloma Mountain Lodge. We had a Nice time at the pool .
The next day we had to take the plane from Arusha to Zanizibar, say good bye to Fay and Steward and Thanks them for the impressive journey. It was a journey of a lifetime.
we stayed a day in Stone Town also very Nice to see, we slept in the Coffeeshouse house. really good hotel and service. The next day we had a cab to our beach boutique resort Mwezi. On the Way we had a spicetour, we enjoyed it. The Mwezi boutique resort is fantastic. We had per couple a beach house to our disposal, looking out over the sea and swimmingpool. We booked half board the food was very good. The service also.
Desiree understood perfectly what we wanted and expected from this holyday. Thanks again.

Unbelievable Experience
Our two week honeymoon to South Africa, Zambia and Mozambique went off without a hiccup. Throughout the process, Discover Africa was extremely prompt and responsive with any questions we had. When we initially booked our trip, Discover Africa provided recommendations and trip ideas to fit within our budget.
We recommend using this company.

very well organized tour
We climbed Kilimanjaro with Kilisa crew. Didn't expect the exceptional service we got on our trek for a great value. Meals were delicious, there was always fresh fruit and salad and enough water for the day. The guides were experienced and knew what they doing. We were in good hands. Every member of the team was very helpful and friendly. There was enough porters to carry our stuff. Naick took care of us before and after climb, was very pleasant to deal with.

Perfect planning, extraordinary guide Edward, excellent accomodations !
It was our first safari (Serengeti and Ngorongoro ) with this tour operator. The tour was perfectly planned by the CEO Henry. He was always asking about the daily service and if all is OK. Edward was an extraordinary driver and guide with excellent knowledge about the animals. Our accomodations were very nice and comfortable. We can recommend this tour operator and will use them at our next safari, probably next year.

Great experience and very helpful when things don't go smootly
When going to a safari you can't expect everything to go smoothly, but at northern masailands you can trust that they do whatever they can to ensure your time is enjoyable. They provide top notch service with an excellent and knowledgable tour guide and great cook and excellent and safe driver. My wife and I really enjoyed our time. During one of the camps we overheard some complaints from the other safari groups but we certainly had none with northern masailands.

Trip of a lifetime...all above expectations!
We booked with Robert who was very thorough and patiently answered ALL our questions!
Ashton was our guide and driver, and talk about patient and knowledgeable! He answered constant, non-stop questions from all 4 of us. He arranged a side village trip in Amboseli that was fascinating and found a side trip to the Giraffe Centre so that we could pet a Giraffe. Ashton deserves a medal!
The Camps were all very impressive with a private bath and shower in each tent. The food was very good too and the pools were very nice. All the camps were well kept, clean and very friendly!
I would recommend anyone to book with Beacon Safaris and request both Robert and Ashton!

Amazing family experience
Hello Vanessa I hope you are doing well.
I want to thank you for everything ,We have an amazing journey. Your country its beautiful and all the people are very kind, .we had a wonderful experience. I want to recognize the job of the drivers we allways felt safe with them ;they were vey kind with us Thanks for all your organization.
I want to comment some points that may be can help you in the future
We were the only guests at the Masai Mara Hotel and they did not made our room
The hotel its really far from the ballon ride nobody told us that it was going to be a two hour drive at 4 am in those roads, so with the empty stomach we had a tought trip. The ballon was great
Its a good idea to ask the tourist for large plastic bags to put inside all the stuff you carry because the roads in Tanzania are SO dusty that you have dust everywhere , maybe the suitcases can be covered with a hard plastic. I think all your customers will appreciate that tip.
At Kilimanyaro airport they asked for our vaccines, they wanted to see the records. The stopped us because I had them in the suitcase, it´s better to bring them with you
The Arusha hotel its okay they did nt have hot water and the road to enter its very ugly so you cant go out for a walk. Maybe its better to look for another one.
The lodges were beautiful, and the dinners were really great specially the soups.
I really appreciate all the work and that every question I made you answered it so fast..
We all enjoy the trip.
Thanks
