Year 2009 Dear Ronny, We arrived home safely and happily enriched with an amazing experience. We actually had one of our best holidays, mixing our first contact with the African civilisation with relaxation on the beautiful beaches. The safari was good, with Isidor being an excellent guide. We should have taken a few days more. We have been impressed by the African colours, light, sounds, smells, people, of course the animals, and very strong by the visit to the Maasai village. The accommodations, in Riverside Inn and Sopa Lodge, were fair enough. Anyway, in a few years from now we will come back with the kids, then we will try to enjoy a tent camp safari. On Zanzibar we have been amazed by the cultural differences with mainland Tanzania and stunned by the difference between the poverty in which the people live and the little paradises on the beach. You were right about the first hotel, Sunset Bay, that is offering only a limited comfort, maybe equivalent to an European 2-stars B&B. This would not be a big problem on itself, but becomes a problem when it is way overpriced. The second one, Hakuna Majiwe, has indeed one of the best ambiences we’ve ever experienced. Simple but very charming, having a beautiful location and built with a lot of good taste, it has met our every expectation. The organisation of the whole trip was excellent, everything went on smoothly and remarkably flawless, especially for being in Africa. I wanted to meet you on the 3rd to thank you but also to discuss about business in Zanzibar. I have noticed plenty of empty land plots on the East coast and became curious about the price of the beachfront land there. If you have knowledge about this, please give me details. Best regards, Dragos Paun (2009) You and your staff provided us Lylene Johnson ------------------------------ ....nochmals herzlichen Dank für den unvergesslichen Urlaub – ihr ward großartig. Liebe Grüße Eva und Gerhard Bergen ------------------------------ Dear Corina, We had a fantastic holiday and hard to believe as we are back in grey and raining Amsterdam! Joseph, our guide was really great and we so enjoyed the whole trip. We definitely want to have another trip bringing our grown up kids with us. Thank you so much for all your planning, the holiday was easy and totally stress free, which is exactly what we wanted, in fact for the first time in 10 years my husband actually switched his phone off! Kind regards, Andrea Straughan ------------------------------------- We find Tanzania Adventure very organized and professional. Corina replied rapidly to my questions and gave me a lot of confidence in Tanzania Adventure. We met Joseph on the first day who outlined our itinerary for us…our experience with T.A. was very much like being taken by the hand and guided through Tanzania with a friend. I have a new respect for Toyota Land Cruisers ! I appreciate the organization with which Tanzania Adventures runs their operation. From the time we were picked up at our hotel to the moment we stepped on the plane home I felt that we were in good hands. I appreciated everyone’s punctuality and care during our trip. Janine Pyle ------------------------------------- Hi Corina, I was very pleased with the quick responses I had to every email. You were very prompt and helpful in shaping our trip. Edwin was great as well. It was nice having transportation at every stop. Iddy was good and quickly arranged for us to have transportation in Dar Es Salaam. The quick tour in Dar Es Salaam was good as well as the dinner outside the airport. The safari vehicle was clean and appeared to be well maintained. We were not worried about mechanical failures. The small plane from the Serengeti airstrip was a nice way to fly to Arusha. It gave us a great view of what we had seen from the ground. Taking off from a grass airstrip will be memorable and added to the trip. Ground transportation in Zanzibar was fine – it was nice to have air conditioning! All drivers were prompt and courteous. Kurt and Abby Ewert ---------------------------------- Hi Ronny, our trip went very well. The 4 different parks
were a good idea, as was a full day at the crater. Lazier (sp?)
was great, just the right amount of info and very good on birds
- especially liked when he had to look one up rather than making
up an answer. The tent camp was just OK, the shower and hot water
did not work in our tent (it did for the COulls), maybe because
we were the only ones there (pool not working). My problem with
the place was location, basically in a cow feeding area rather than
a park. Compare with the first night in Tanguire where there were
monkeys and elephants around. Only mistake with arrangements was
the plane we flew back on went on from Arusha airport to Kilimanjaro
but we got off and had a hot, bumpy ride to the airport. Value was
good and we loved each park - again guide the best. I WILL RECOMMEND
YOU. Professor Daniel L. Reger ----------------------------------- I had a talk with Corina about what more you can do in Tanzania. The more off the beaten track tours. If you find a way of marketing this to your previous customers in a good way I am sure you would get returning customers. I think this trip was excellent for us as a start but I would love to come back and go camping somewhere, visit a Maasai village far off, meet bushmen etc. Camilla Degerth ------------------------------------ All of the accommodation was very comfortable and
to a very high standard. We were very happy with all the staff and
everyone worked really hard to ensure our stay was very relaxing.
We had a fantastic time. Adele Kennedy and Robbie Taylor ---------------------------------- Our favorite places were the Mapito Tented Camp and Keekorock Lodge. The staff at Mapito Tented Camp was wonderful and it was a fun experience. Katherine Laxton ----------------------------------- Jambo liebe Corina, unsere Gruppe ist wieder zuhause. Alles hat gut geklappt, und nun müssen wir alles Erlebte sacken lassen. Es war solch eine schöne Reise, meine Leute sind ganz begeistert. Dir möchte ich besonders danken, Du hast uns umsorgt und im Hintergrund alles für uns geregelt - ganz prima! An DERTOUR und Rolf ist der anhängende Bericht gegangen, der Dich sicher auch interessiert. In Deutschland herrschen zur Zeit Temperaturen wie auf Sansibar. Wir brauchten uns bis jetzt gar nicht umzustellen. Uns fehlt nur das Meer und der herrliche Strand - aber man kann nicht immer alles haben. Dafür trocknet die Wäsche fantastisch und liegt schon wieder im Schrank. Hakuna matata ---------------------------------- The organisation by Corina was excellent, she is very efficient. She put together a great itinerary that suited our needs, and meant that we saw so much but still didn’t feel that we were rushed or doing too much. Grant & Fiona Douglas and family ----------------------------------- Corina, I have many friends that travel the world
and now some of those folk want to do Africa. Be assured your company
will get the highest praise and recommendation from me. ------------------------------------ Hi Corina, thank you for valuing our comments and for the experience of a life time Rhiannon and Steve ------------------------------------- I'm sad that I won't be able to repeat the experience anytime soon. It was more than I could imagine and better than I could have hoped for. Fritz Ferrante ------------------------------------- Dear Corina, I recently returned from a Tanzanian Adventure safari, and the more I reflect on the trip and tell others about it, the more I realize how lucky I am. Anyone who gets to visit Africa is lucky, but I feel particularly lucky to have booked through your agency. The quality of the trip, however, was not good fortune but the result of your agency's hard work. As you well know, the face of your company is the guides that you hire. I am sure that every one of them is screened for knowledge and personality and I suspect also for eyesight and driving ability, but I can't imagine that you have two finer guides than Israel and John. It's not always easy to spend 10 days traveling in close proximity to friends or family members, so I think these two men were extraordinary. They managed to be simultaneously part of the group and absolutely unobtrusive. From day one they knew our individual personalities and tailored their information accordingly. Whenever I drive now I just smile thinking how Israel could maneuver through those pot holes, spot lions in trees and simultaneously pass Dan the bird guide book open to the correct page and give a verbal reference to the picture of the bird flying on the opposite side of the road. He brought new meaning to the word "multi-tasking." He's also got a great artistic eye. When you reprint your brochure, I'd suggest that you hand him a camera. I know that it's part of the job to be nice, but both Israel and John were unfailingly patient and good humored no matter how ridiculous our requests or how many times we re-asked a question. And, they constantly checked in with each of us to be sure that we were physically well and happy with the way the trip was unfolding. They were also willing to answer a million questions about their lives and the lives of the Tanzanian people. In my travel life, I've done homestays and cultural exchanges so I have a frame of reference when I say I did not end this safari just saying " what interesting animals," but rather saying "what an incredible country." Now that I'm home I find myself frequently going on line to read the news from Tanzania. Abraham, our guide on Zanzibar, was also excellent. He gave a great tour of both Stonetown and the Spice Plantation. Again, it was not just his knowledge of history and agriculture that was impressive. He answered our many questions about culture, education, economics, and politics and left me with a feeling for Zanzibar that is much richer than the fact that it's a beautiful island. I would without reservation recommend your company to anyone planning an African trip. Thanks for creating such a memorable experience. Sincerely, ----------------------------------- The clients first enthousiastic reaction immediately
after their return was: INDIVIDUAL ITINERARIES TRAVEL DESK ------------------------------------ Dear Corina Just to thanks you very much from the client Mr GUYOT who had a wonderful safari and thanks you and all your team because it was just PERFECT !! Quality, perfect service, no delay… THANKS and bravo !! Kind regards Laure Mauron (Zanzibar Voyage) ------------------------------- Hi, He was also exceptional serviceminded, for instance, after we had said goodbye to him at Arusha airport, we had some problems at the check-in counter. The staff refused to accept our ticket, and the plane was about to leave within 20 minutes. We made a call to Tanzania Adventure for assistance, as we do not speak Swahili, and our guide returned immediately to the airport and helped us out of the situation with the ground personnel. I would really recommend other travellers to arrange their safari with Tanzania Adventure, and I know a lot of travellers look in your guidebook to find a good operator. Best regards, ---------------------------------- Corina --------------------------------- Dear Corina, ----------------------------------- Dear Corina The holiday was great! It is unbelievable how fast it all went... we had a fantastic time. Thank you very much for your kind and good help! We really appreciated this! Bye bye ----------------------------------- We really appreciated how smoothly everything went! We know it’s difficult to always have every last detail perfectly lined up when you’re dealing with multiple tours all at once and we very much appreciated how well taken care of we were. We so appreciated being picked up on that last day by such a friendly and informative person. We had the best vacation of our lives and we really thank everyone who made it possible. Michael and Lisa MacKenzie ----------------------------------- Corina , I just wanted to contact you to let you
know we had a fantastic time on our Zanzibar (paradise) adventure
and to take the opportunity to thank you. I thought we might have
had the chance to meet in person while we were there, but I relayed
my gratitude and feedback via 'Edi' (sorry I do not know how to
spell his name) in Stonetown. --------------------------------
