Another great hotel was the coffee lodge in Ngorongoro. The rooms were huge, and the pool overlooked the jungle. On top of all that greatness then mongoose bmx you add that we saw all of the Big 5, the great migration, a lion kills, lion mating, a mongoose eating a snake and so much more!
Our driver/guides – Yona, Chris and Edmand were thorough professionals – and went out of their way to make this trip a once in a lifetime experience. The lodges we stayed at, the food and the staff all met our expectations. The diversity of wildlife and avian life we saw was simply amazing. We were especially impressed by the friendliness of the Ugandan people – who all smiled and spoke softly. Still recovering from the long flight. This was the best trip we have ever taken, bar none, and we are experienced travelers.
Overall, another great experience in Africa and Gate 1 trip. I also like that he is English as am I and we have the similar culture and views in common. We always felt safe, despite the crime rate in the country evidenced by the security protections on most/ all buildings ! I would be very happy to travel with John again in Africa .
I also did the Zanzibar extension which was a great opportunity to relax by the beach and I learned so much during the stone town city tour and spice tour. I will remember this trip for the rest of my life, and I hope I will be able to return to Tanzania in the future. Gate 1 always provides great tours, and this one will stand out amongst the best of the best. The itinerary, tour director, coach drivers, local guides and rangers, and group were fantastic. I loved that you provided a welcome and a farewell dinner.
I encourage mongoose excursion all future travelers to sign up for the optional tours to get the full experience of the areas you will visit. The trip to Namibia was beautiful and unique. The diversity of the landscape that we covered was amazing. From dunes, to the ocean, to the desert to game parks.
The information they provided was comprehensive. On the ground in Uganda, the local team was superb. The initial briefing by the welcoming team put us at ease.
