Comments Your
“My wife and I have just returned from our Bales safari. This tour far exceeded our expectations. The ground arrangements were excellent and our guide/driver was meticulous in every detail, nothing was too much trouble. The hotels were excellent; the Serena Serengeti
was notably interesting when we had ‘elephant for breakfast’ i.e. an elephant decided to visit the hotel grounds before and during breakfast, pulling up trees and munching through them. The scenery was magnificent and the wildlife amazing. Each National Park/Conservation Area was so different: Tarangire was a superb introduction, Ngorongoro was riveting, Serengeti so extensive and Manyara very intimate. Our list of species seen covered nearly everything. As a geographer I was very impressed. Many thanks, thoroughly recommended.”

STONE TOWN, ZANZIBAR With its whitewashed houses, labyrinthine streets and aromatic spices, Zanzibar’s ancient capital still reverberates to the echoes of the slave and spice traders of old. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it still incorporates an intoxicating blend of Arabic, African and European styles that hark back to a bygone age.
ZANZIBAR EXTENSION
