Jen,
Many thanks for your superb travel plan and support on our recent Tanzanian safari; it was a trip of a lifetime.
All the lodges and guides were very good. Staff were friendly, worked hard and attentive everywhere. The food quality was great and amazing given the remote sites. The wildlife everywhere was abundant and the guides knew sites to target.
Again, thank you, as you clearly have deep knowledge of the area, lodges and guides. It was the most expensive trip I’ve done but most enjoyable as well.

Hi Jennifer,
So, some feedback regarding the trip, your itinerary was excellent. Davis was a great guide set up a little bit differently than what we had in Tanzania.
We enjoyed the authentic culture of the Ugandans. Our experience with Gorillas, of course, will be a cherished memory for years to come. The chimps in the gorge were fantastic.
Apparently, the lions have been migrating to Congo so they haven’t been around for the last week so no sightings of lions.
The flights and transportation went without a hitch
We express our gratitude with your expertise, your conscientious planning, and your attention to details. Kerry & I thank you for an unforgettable trip.
