Client Feedback on Kenya, Serengeti and Zanzibar Overland- Jan 08
Hi Gelle
I had a great holiday thank you - everything went to plan. Even better than
that I got a good mix of being with other people and having some quiet time
on my own, there was some adventuring and some opportunities to just chill
out - and I didn’t see any issues in Kenya.
The Ngorongoro crater was spectacular and probably the highlight of the
trip. I saw loads of animals - Zanzibar was lovely… but very hot and
humid… and I found it difficult to deal with the heat when not on the
beach to get a bit of breeze. In Stonetown, the Zanzibar Coffee House was a
lovely place to stay, but I wouldn’t recommend it to people travelling on
their own, as it’s in a part of town away from restaurants and other tourist
things, and I found walking through the maze of alleyways rather daunting -
especially after dark!! I never felt threatened… but was aware of my
vulnerability should someone want to snatch my bag… This meant that I
tended to stay in after the sun had gone down, when it would have been nice
to explore beach bars and the like.
The other feedback that I gave to ‘the guide was that it would have been nice to know in advance that there were opportunities to upgrade accommodation at a number of places
we stayed. When there were options to upgrade, to beach huts, or cabins, I
generally took them… so only spent 4 nights in the tent they provided (2
nts sharing with another lady and 2 nts having a tent to myself).
All in all, it was a great break and I have been recommending Zanzibar to my
friends for a quiet, out of season holiday.
Thanks very much for your help in booking this…
Best wishes for a great 2008-
