Our couple had an amazing experience. The lodges were really nice, good food, good moments, good places. It was really intense since we had a very charged itinerary but it was worth it.

We had an amazing guide - Didier - from Simba Safaris for our 10 day safari trip to Tanzania with a family of 5 (parents & 3 boys - 17, 20 and 23). He was amazing at spotting animals while driving the very bumpy roads, and was great company for the trip.
