Travelicious Review
We chose MyTrip2Tanzania and we were not disappointed. It was one of the most beautiful, authentic and incredible stays I've ever had. Philbert is the best guide by far, so don't hesitate to book with him: you'll never be disappointed. He will always suggest the best options and must-do excursions in northern Tanzania. In addition to the safari, he showed us natural pools, an amazing waterfall and coffee plantations. In short: an extraordinary trip with an attentive and interesting guide. Thanks a lot Philbert we’ll miss you!
