Tanzania Pilgrimage Safaris

Great-from 1st planning to last tour day! Benjamin is a friend now, good pricing, superb adventure!

What a safari! We were looking for a 7 to 10 days tour with some extra time in Tarangire and a visit to lake Natron, which was not available in any of the listed programs, so Gasper worked something out for us that included three extra days (private extra days, that is) attached to a seven days program and still suited our budget. After extensive Mail conversation with numerous amendments the program seemed perfect for us, and we confirmed our booking.

Best thing we could have done! Booking something comparable through a local Austrian (or German, for that matter) agent we'd probably have had to face about 50% higher cost.

And then came Benjamin, our driver and guide for the private starting bit of the Safari. We enjoyed those days so much that, after learning that Benjamin would be available we asked Gasper for an upgrade to private for the entire safari. The offer we received was extremely fair, and with such a nice guide we didn't think twice about accepting. And, boy, that was more than just worth every extra penny!

We had so many adventures during those 10 days we cannot even list a fraction of them. We saw lions walking up trees, we saw four(!) Leopards on different occasions, we were close enough to touch elephants and lions, Rhinos in the Crater, where they are NOT dehorned as they are elsewhere, and yes, we got stuck in the mud at Lake Natron (because Benjamin wanted to get us closer to the flamingoes without having to walk too far in the boiling heat there - we are both in our seventies). But that was solved soon and just added to the feeling of friendship.

After the ten days Benjamin was a friend rather than an just excellent and friendly guide and driver, and we are sure he shares many of the fantastic memories we took with us along with loads of superb photos and videos.

Gasper, Benjamin, feel free to use our pics and vids on your website - as we had discussed before we went on to the next stages of our two month trip to Africa. Keep up the superb work and take care of yourselves,
Traudl and Jochen
