Had the most magical and memorable safari which I didn't want to end!
From the very beginning Assad listened to what we wanted to do and see as well as the kind of accommodation we wanted. He made sure everything we wanted was perfect! We stayed in the most beautiful accommodation both in Karatu and Serengeti. Though I must admit the Kontiki Serengeti Camp was to die for and we didn't want to leave!
This trip was for myself and my mum who came to visit me here so I really wanted it to be special and a trip of a lifetime. We were picked up from home in a beautiful big 4x4 jeep with the typical open roof. The fridge was stocked full of water , juice and some snacks. Every morning the car was spotlessly clean and everything arranged perfectly for our comfort.
The food we ate was amazing every single day (We actually did 4 days as we also included Tarangire). There was so much of it and we were never hungry! What I especially liked is that we had hot lunches with a variety of snacks. We were so excited every day when it came to seeing what we had! Fruit salad, guacamole, muffins, chocolate, couscous, chicken, fried rice, roasted vegetables....
Finally but most importantly....Our guide/driver was the best! Derrick was super knowledgeable and an amazing driver. He knew exactly where to go and managed to find every animal we wanted to see! My mum is a huge bird fan and he made sure he had a book for her and was able to name every single bird she saw (there was a lot!!!!). Derrick knew exactly how much time we wanted to spend watching animals and was super patient with us. He would stop every time we asked and never rushed us. We spent a lot of time sharing stories and singing! He taught us a famous Swahili song which we still proudly sing!
I would do this trip with Pazuri Porini safari again in an instant and look forward to arranging more beautiful trips with them!
