Dear Kyle and AAC Staff,

What a magnificent adventure. The itinerary worked out so well for birds and mammals…

Beginning with our visit to Arusha National Park and ending with our final game drive in the Eastern Serengeti, we were treated to an ongoing visual and auditory feast. I benefited by traveling with three master birders, and their knowledge coupled with Jeremiah’s opened my eyes to an unexpectedly rich and beautiful avian world that I had not fully expected when contemplating the trip. Jeremiah is a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. He frequently got us close enough to the animals so that I was able to get good photos using only my iPhone, and he respected our desire to avoid the vehicle scrums to the extent possible when desirable animals were spotted. Jeremiah periodically took my iPhone to show me how to get even better visuals, several times shooting through binoculars to get closeups. (I still can’t hold both still enough to shoot!) His sense of humor and willingness to stop for insects and some plants added to my overall enjoyment of our days in the field. It was great to have him guide us through the entire trip.

I loved the very different properties that were chosen for our safari. Each had its own special feel, and all were top-notch with great staff and really good food. Lion’s Paw Camp positioned us to get into the Ngorongoro Crater as early as possible, allowing us to travel some 85 miles over two days crisscrossing the crater floor and marveling at the many habitats within the crater walls. I loved the tents at the Siringit Migration Camp and hearing the lions and hyenas at night. Finally, the Lemala Nanyukie Lodge is exceptional, and if I could have changed anything about our trip, it would have been to spend a little more down time there as well as at the other lodging sites. But would I have sacrificed any of the game drives? No. Absolutely not.

As a first-time traveler to Tanzania, I can’t say enough about The Africa Adventure Company and our guide, Jeremiah Lucas. Responsive communications from AAC and the customized web-based access to trip details were great. The variety of properties visited, the excellent food and staffing, and the ability to experience Tanzania’s fabulous wildlife in the enormity of such wisely protected and expansive habitats made for a memorable trip and an overall transformative experience. I have already begun recommending AAC to friends.
