We had a wonderful experience in Tanzania with Thomson Safaris. . . superb
service, wonderful guides, fascinating accommodations, fantastic animal
sightings, etc, etc, I thinks trying to go to both Tanzania and Kenya
on one safari is far too much. We spent two+ weeks in Tanzania, and there
is a lot of driving around over rough roads, so why add more distance
to see the same animals? We had to fly home from Nairobi due to the airline
changing its Arusha (Tanzania) departure days, and the long drive up to
Nairobi was the only unpleasant part of the trip (even though Thomson
handled this unexpected change in plans superbly and provided a day hotel
in Nairobi for us to relax in.). Be sure to go on a safari that is not
going to put you in a minivan with many people, where you may not even
have a window seat! Be sure whatever company and safari you choose uses
pop-top Land Rovers; the seven of us had two Land Rovers, 3 driver/guides,
so were extremely comfortable and had lots of picture-taking, viewing
opportunities. Enjoy the experience; this safari was probably the highlight
of all of our travels!! Cheers, Bill
