FEATURE TANZANIA
LUKE BAILES ceo, Singita Game Reserves "A mobile safari adds that
raw authenticity to days spent in the bush with nights under canvas in the wilderness. The luxury is there, but the aim is to get back to basics without modern-day distractions, while getting close to nature and wildlife. Tanzania is perfect for all this."
SANDY WOOD managing director, Pulse Africa, South Africa and Board Member of ATTA
"Tanzania is Pulse Africa’s birthplace and we have a team of specialists always on the lookout for exciting new properties and safaris in the country. Nomad’s new camp in northern Serengeti, Lamia, is already selling well for us and in Zanzibar on the island of Pemba, Fundu Lagoon is my favourite. We can create tailor-made packages
for your clients and are keen to share our specialist knowledge with you."
SUZANNE WALFORD market and product manager, Carrier "To accommodate the
demand for more experiential travel, we have added a Kilimanjaro Climb, featuring the Rongai Route, which is not the toughest route but is less populated and scenically very beautiful. This would
appeal to groups of friends and family looking for an exhilarating challenge."
