We did a fantastic tour with Jerome and Msange. They both know the best places to go to, we saw more wildlife than we could dream of and we had the best meals ever. We did a camping safari and felt very safe with them. We had lots of fun and learnt a lot about life in Tanzania. Our children liked the tour a lot as well and enjoyed relaxing on Zanzibar in the 2nd half of our journey. We would love to go back and recommand the guides to everyone. We really hope to come back one day!
