What a trip! In February 2023 I completed my 4th safari with Bush 2 City Adventure. For this safari I traveled solo, returning to Tanzania for 15 days. I revisited Arusha National Park, Tarangire Park, Ngorongoro crater, Ndutu (for the first time,) and the central Serengeti. Probably my best safari yet! Jackson helped me plan a relaxed yet thorough itinerary, choosing superb accommodations and a variety of activities. The safari was a drive in, fly out-decreasing road time back to Arusha. The planning was impeccable, from airport pick up to drop off.
My guide Said, who had been my guide for my first safari 5 years ago, was as incredible as before-outstanding driver, very familiar with the parks and the wildlife, superb spotter, as well as courteous and witty. Although I traveled solo, I felt like I was traveling with a friend.
In addition to the game drives where I once again saw the Big Five, I encountered several other critters not seen on previous safaris, did a night drive in Tarangire, walking safaris in Tarangire and Arusha National Park, as well as canoed on the small Momella lake in Arusha N. P. I highly recommend the canoe excursion if you have time. It is a wonderful change of pace!
The Land Cruiser was in great shape and ran well. Bush lunches were either a superb lunchbox (infrequent) or more often, a hot meal complete with meat, vegetables, rice and pasta, bread, fruit, juice and wine! (I noted more than one envious comment about my picnic wine.)
As before, Jackson met with me at the end of the trip to make sure everything had gone well, discussing the flow of the trip, the guiding and the accommodations. Since it was so perfect, safari number 5 is already being planned!
