Tansania Klassik – 7 Tage

期待已久的坦尚尼亞塞倫蓋堤公園和Ngrongro自然保育區，我們非常幸運由無比專業、友善、熱情的導遊Simon帶領，第一天就近距離欣賞到花豹及獵豹，雖然躺在樹上美麗無比的花豹，不久前獵殺了獵豹的三個寶寶，讓我們對原野中弱肉強食有了更深刻的體會。 賽門的專業也體現在不會催促旅客，會告知正確資訊讓我們判斷是否要等候：路邊發現公獅與母獅，賽門馬上說，牠們處於繁衍期，休息後仍會交配，我們等了兩小時，就在50公尺處見證了生命的起源！特別是在我們為了獵豹痛失愛子，感嘆生命消逝之後！感謝賽門讓我們知道，等候是值得的！特別一提是看到岩石上落單的獅子寶寶，才幾個月大，獅子媽媽外出狩獵，賽門告知很難得能看到獅子寶寶單獨出現。 塞倫蓋堤國家公園第一天，就找到了非洲五霸中的獅子、花豹、水牛、大象，斑馬和牛羚相互依存的故事，也讓我們很感動，即使沒有大量牛羚渡河畫面，大遷徙也確實不斷發生，第二天我們也看見綿延15公里長的大遷徙隊伍。 第二天，是好事成雙的一天，花豹和獵豹都帶著小孩（所有動物我們都看到寶寶，包括河馬寶寶）、獅子交配也看到第二次！ 正如賽門說：每天，都得看大地之母想要讓我們看到什麼，懷著無比感謝與敬畏大地的心，享受整個旅程。 除了非洲五霸，第二天就完成非洲五醜，更集滿了母獅樹上睡姿10趴、公獅洗臉特輯，以及母獅上樹、花豹在樹上穿梭的影片，加上搞笑的斑馬打滾、斑馬石頭上搓頭、七隻鬣狗集體聚餐（禿鷹圍在旁邊等候）、獅子交配影片、河馬吵架，活生生就是動物頻道現場版！這些，都要感謝賽門，能在最好的時間點，讓我們有緣遇上這些事件。坦白說，只有河馬有家（所有導遊都知道河馬池在哪裡），其他動物都是隨機，網路上都說花豹難見，我們卻能遇見兩次，所有動物都遇見兩次以上！最後一天的Ngorongoro，讓我們體會了寧靜安詳的動物世界，也是唯一一天沒有看到獅子，加上湖邊的火鶴跳舞，交織出鮮豔動感的新世界！坦尚尼亞的非洲旅行，非常推薦easy travel，特別特別大力推薦導遊賽門，若沒有賽門，我相信此行不會如此圓滿而感動！

We hoped it would be an unforgettable experience, however it turned out to be an unbelievable trip. We wished for a good driver guide, Easy Travel sent us a magician, of course, a super professional driver guide,Simon. Every night after dinner,Simon, our driver guide asked us “What do you expect to see tomorrow?” And the next day, our wishes fulfilled. Before going to Ngorongoro, Simon has already found us the Big 4 and Ugly 5. When we thought all our dreams have come true, Simon asked again “What do you expect to see tomorrow?” We became a bit too greedy and asked to see cheetah and leopard AGAIN. Next day not only cheetah and leopard ,but a juvenile cheetah, a baby leopard with their mothers. Now you see Simon is definitely a magician. After Ngorongoro, with no doubt, we collected all the Big5, of course, black rhinos TWICE. Beyond that, Simon is so knowledgeable, passionate and patient. He gave us the confidence to wait for “ACTIONS”. While everyone took their pictures and left, Simon told us “something is going to happen”. We trusted him so much and waited patiently. Our wait is more than worthy. We witnessed lions mating in ACTION twice. There were too many unforgettable and unbelievable moments to share. Maybe the best way is for YOU to come and visit Serengeti in person. If you are planning a safari trip, we suggest you ask for not only a professional driver guide, but also a magician at the same time. And the very driver guide you need is Simon. Finally, thanks to Mohamed with Easy Travel. He always kept us updated, helped us with the e-visa and organized everything well. We highly recommend Easy Travel and the magician driver guide, Simon.

From November to January, I was doing my research on the best safari and chose Easy Travel because Masuma was so helpful for answering my million questions and they had stellar reviews. We booked in February for a May safari and a detailed literary was provided and a step by step guide to prepare us - all was so helpful. On arrival, the driver Dixon picked us up at the airport and took us to Arusha - perfect transfer. Our guide, Aniny met us at the hotel the next morning exactly on time. Off we went to a briefing and then the adventure started! We could have not gotten a better guide - Aniny was always on the lookout for animals - and could see them in the distance or in trees or laying in grass - it was just amazing - he saw things with the naked eye that I could only see with binoculars. He knew so much about the animals and the birds and the fauna. We saw all the big 5 and basically every animal imaginable - with all credit going to him. He went above and beyond to make sure we got every animal including a leopard and male lion. He was always on time for very early morning wake ups and gave us the perfect safari. On a more serious note, he is a great actual driver of the land cruiser. The terrain and roads are rough and we always felt safe. We saw a horrific accident because of limited visibility and likely speeding and it put our minds at ease that Aniny was at the wheel cause he is such a good driver and not risk taker. More important than seeing this wonderful animals is coming home safe! Thank you Aniny and Masuma for the wonderful experience. We have been all over the world and to over 40 countries and this is easily the best thing we ever did!
