I don `t know where to start. It was the best we have ever experienced. Our guide was able to see the animals from such a distance, it was really incredible. We were really lucky and were able to see the big five + babies. The best was even a baby rhino. The food was delicious and we were really spoiled. I recommend everyone to book this tour because who can say that you stayed in the middle of the Serengeti National Park. We have seen over 20 countries and this was the best vacation ever.

We had very nice days on safari. We were able to see all the animals up close, Hammer. Our guide was very experienced with the wild animals and also with driving the jeep. We felt very comfortable at all times. Our chef has taken care of us very, very well over the time, nothing was missing. We would do it again anytime.
