Stayed at Billila Game Lodge and Mapenzi beach Dear Vicky While I am sending you this email I would like to express our thanks to you personally for all your help in arranging our last holiday. When I first contacted you at Luxury Safaris, I was impressed with your quick response. You went on to arrange our choice of both the Game Lodge in Tanzania and nights in Zanzibar at a particular resort, that other companies seemed unable to offer. And I know it wasn't easy! But on every occasion you found the information I needed and quickly answered any queries I had. Your efficiency and pleasant manner was very much appreciated. We had a fantastic holiday. Your attention to detail ensured that each time we arrived at an airport, someone was there to meet us and transport us onwards. We had a wonderful 'guide' at Billila Game Lodge and enjoyed every minute viewing the animals. Mushi was there to greet us and was on hand at all times. We were spoilt rotten and didn't want to come home! Even our last night was just perfect. Your choice of overnight stay in Dar es Salam before our early flight home couldn't have been better. Actually we both said we could have spent another week there! Thanks again Vicky - you're a star - which is why I'm emailing you again for help in arranging our next holiday!!! Kind regards Sandra Venables
Travelled on the Masai with Southern Palms Just wanted to say how much the four of us enjoyed our safari and beach holiday. It proved far better than our expectations in many ways. We saw many animals at close quarters, including lions and cheetahs. Only the leopard evaded us! We even saw the start of the wildebeest migration, much earlier than usual! The camps were great especially the substituted Ashnil, which was tented and magical. The hotair balloon was wonderful - expensive but worth every penny as from it we viewed thousands upon thousands of wildebeests making their way in single file from group to massive group. What a spectacle! Not so obvious from the ground. The Southern Palms Beach Resort, a very good hotel to choose, was very welcome after a week of early starts and bumpy rides. The staff were wonderful and we were able to completely relax, in spite of a little heavy rain. Certainly we were right to go All Inclusive there. It was the trip of a lifetime for the four of us and one we shall look back on with great pleasure for many years. Thank you so much for your very useful advice and for organising the trip for us Sorry I haven't written this before but we are moving house in 6 days time so we've been rather busy since our return on the 6th! Have a good summer yourself
