    · March 8th, 2016
    My husband and I went on this trip to see the Serengeti in Tanzania, as well as the rich history of Zanzibar. Encounters partners with Nomad Travels for the local connections and we found them to be very professional & well organized. Each step of the way we had excellent guides and decent accommodations. [ The only real exception was for our final night in Dar Es Salaam, where the hotel had run down in its care. That location should definitely be changed for future trips. It was also not in a good part of town where we could leave the premises easily.] Overall, it was an exceptional trip--the wildlife we saw was breathtaking, the Tanzanian people were so kind, and the beaches of Zanzibar sparkled. We definitely would recommend this trip to others.

    The 12 day tour was planned beautifully to include a combination of countryside, culture, history, sunrise/sunset, and of course, every kind of annimal imaginable. The tour guides and cook who assisted in every way were knowledgeable, charming, attentive, and thorough. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and met all our needs. The tour provided a comprehensive and beautiful appreciation of these southern African countries and opportunities to meet and speak with local people about their lives. I highly recommend this option for anyone who wants authentic exposure to this part of the African continent.
