We Saw All Of The Big 5, Including A Leopard Each Day

Thank you so much for all of your help planning our trip to East Africa. We all had a wonderful time! The Arusha Hotel was first rate…we were very comfortable there. But the next day, things got even better because we were greeted at the hotel by Steven. Steven drove us to the office where we met Jervin (a very nice lady), and then our fun really accelerated! Steven was an outstanding guide (we all highly recommend him), and for the next 6 days we could not have been more happy!

Ngorongoro Sopa was a very nice lodge, and were very comfortable — plus their food was excellent. MIGRATION CAMP put a whole new meaning on luxury. It was truly 5-star! However, we did not know that Migration Camp was an “all inclusive”. When it was time to check out at Migration, we were told that all of our drinks, laundry, etc, were all included (wow!). All in all, Migration was the most luxurious of our destinations and we highly recommend it! Thanks for getting us in there for 3 nights! Rufiji River Camp in the Selous Game Reserve was just as you said it would be, and that was fine. We were happy with their service, and the food was more than adequate. Though it was not as comfortable as Migration, it was good enough and we made out very well there.

Once on Zanzibar, our time at Blue Bay was very enjoyable (it is also a lovely place) and the drivers and Spice Tour were very nice. But I must say we were surprised by the extremes between Blue Bay and Emerson and Green. Knowing that Emerson and Green is in Stone Town, and therefore a completely different setting, we expected it to be smaller in scale etc. It was exotic and very interesting, but clearly not as comfortable as the other hotels you suggested. But that is Stone Town, and we enjoyed the experience.

I feel that the best part of the entire trip was our time on safari. We had amazing adventures with our guide, Steven, and highly recommend him. We saw all of the Big 5, including a leopard each day for 6 days…and also: cheetahs, warthogs, all the antelope, millions of wildebeest and zebra (naturally), giraffes, hyenas, hippos, crocs, more birds than we can remember, and so much more! It was truly a memorable experience! We also greatly appreciate the efforts made to ensure that we were aware of our airline changes while in Zanzibar.

Please thank your people, including Altaf, for us. It was a great comfort knowing that you and your team always had our best interest at heart. Thank you so much for your help! We are very happy we chose AfricanMecca and we will definitely recommend you to our family and friends! Thank You Raza! Asante Sana.

Wishing you all the best.
