"The 9-day bush to beach was perfect. Five days of incredible safari — we saw the Big Five in Ngorongoro and tracked a lion pride in the Serengeti — then four days of Zanzibar relaxation. Flying directly saved so much time."
"Tarangire's elephants were the surprise highlight — over 200 in one afternoon. The Serengeti delivered cheetahs on a kill, and Ngorongoro Crater was breathtaking. Best holiday we've ever planned from London."
"We booked from Dubai and this exceeded every expectation. Mid-range camps were surprisingly comfortable. Our driver-guide found a leopard with cubs. Highly recommend this exact itinerary."
