“I’d like to, again, relay our appreciation of the fine job you did in arranging the exact holiday we were after.”

David, Haria and Mary-Ellen were looking to spend a week on safari over Christmas in Tanzania, with time spent exploring the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengeti, enjoying a mobile tented camp to ensure they were in the best spot for wildlife viewing. This safari was followed with a few days meandering around the cobbled streets of Stone Town.

“David Redmond: From the time we were picked up at the airport to the time we said good bye to our Tour guide Godwin, we experienced a holiday of a lifetime. A soft introduction at a hotel in Arusha for one day saw us set off for 4 days of fantastic wildlife park viewing of animals.

 

“A Christmas Day that will be etched in our memories for a long time.”

 

The second stage was set up on the edge of the Serengeti Park. We stayed 3 nights in good quality tent accommodation and experienced close up viewing of cheetahs, Leopards, Elephants, Giraffes and many other wildlife. We also viewed 4 natural kills by lions and cheats that while sad, demonstrated the natural survival behaviours in the wild.

All this was topped off with a balloon flight over the Serengeti followed by a champagne breakfast…what a wonderful day.

We also made a late request to change part of our itinerary for Christmas Day accommodation. Encompass surpassed our expectation by securing 2 nights at the busy Sheraton 4 points in Arusha; a Christmas Day that will be etched in our memories for a long time.

Thank you Encompass Africa.”

Mary-Ellen Egawa: “It has been a couple of weeks now since we returned from our trip to Tanzania, and I have been able to reflect on what a wonderful experience it was. I’d like to, again, relay our appreciation of the fine job you did in arranging the exact holiday we were after. All of us will (and have done already) recommend Encompass Africa to anyone interested in an African safari.”
