Safari, Sand and Spice by Mike M, 23 Sep 2014
Holiday Rating:

A series of outstanding experiences.

Flying into Dar Es Salaam and taking a 5 hour train ride was immersion in local life and culture. 4 days in Sable Lodge for various Safari experiences, then a flight in a 5 seat plane to Zanzibar for 4 nights at the Zanzibari on the beautiful north coast followed by 2 exciting days in Stone Town. Phenomenal.

A personal service and always there to answer any question, no matter how silly. Lovely people who made us feel like part of the family.

Being new to this sort of holiday I didn't know what to expect but it was amazing. My husband was also very impressed having done safaris before. The whole holiday was most memorable - there were so many special times! But moments like seeing an elephant eye to eye for the first time made me cry! The turtles hatching out and making sure they got to the sea was really special. As for all the animals, fruit bats, birds - all were incredible. Swim...

Swimming with dolphins will always be remembered and the sound will live on in our memories forever.

It gave so much confidence to book with someone who cares about what we wanted to do, and with such great knowledge. And it was lovely to know that every single aspect of the holidays was to some sort of benefit to the environment and local villages and people. Thank you so much!
