    Fabulous - No safari can guarantee that you will see everything you want to but very happy with what I did see. Photos shown were taken with either a low spec phone or a pocket camera – those with better phones or better spec cameras have far superior pictures Group leader ‘Lucky Steve’ was excellent as were the drivers. During a trip briefing a few years ago, a guide said ‘if you want home, stay at home’….many of the roads were bumpy. Services such as hot showers are not guaranteed. Wi-Fi was available albeit sometimes only in reception and restaurant areas and could be patchy. Food was a bit samey. Some variance to the trip notes. Accommodation was generally acceptable and one lodge was more like glamping. Caution regards money – many places / accommodations didn’t accept credit cards for additional expenses. Also, the Tanzanian government are trying to stop payments in US dollars (doesn’t apply inside Serengeti National Park) although this was being flouted. The optional elephant caves trip – whilst the trip notes provided a price in $, payment needed to be in cash (Tanzanian Schilling). In Zanzibar, credit cards were accepted and many prices in $. Zanzibar - optional walking tour in Stone Town was good and very informative; the guide (‘Ali’), clearly-spoken and funny (when he put on a cockney accent). The optional ‘spices’ tour was also good. Accommodation much higher standard.
