Amazing wildlife and an epic safari
  • Anonymous
The 14 day experience was truly amazing for me and my son. The whole experience including the organisation, camping and hotels was outstanding. The trip involved some long days, long drives and early morning but you soon forgot about this as you were rewarded with amazing sunrises, stunning wildlife in at least five different national parks or wildlife area and beautiful scenery. Our local guides and Exodus team were extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable. The final few days in Zanzibar allowed us to chill out on a beautiful white beach and enjoy the Indian Ocean. The optional trips including the Serengeti Balloon Experience, the snorkelling in Zanzibar and the Maasia people tour were brilliant.
AMAZING

The food and sleeping arrangements were also quite good. We didn't lack anything and had nothing at all to be unhappy about. I heartily suggest this vacation to everyone who enjoys adventure.
3 DAYS AMAZING TRIP

The 3-day safari to Tarangire, Central Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater, was incredible. The scenery was spectacular, and we got to view all of the creatures. Anthony, our guide, was wonderful. He knows everything about the Serengeti, was quite friendly, and guided us to the best sites. I am delighted to suggest this tour company for any safari in Tanzania. Tanzania is very amazing. We suggest it for everyone.
