Travelicious Review
Special and magical once-in-a-lifetime-experience Oct 2024 • Family We booked e ten days safari in tansania. Mytrip was recommended by friends, and a lucky hit. After calls and mails with philbert and cilla our tour-plan was made after our imagination and possibilities. They were always reachable via whatsapp. The safari was breathtaking (Arusha national park, tarangire,Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lake manyara park), and the lodges that the team chose for us were great. A special thanks to our german speaking guide Erick, who we especially recommend! He was always helpful, knew everything about nature and has become a good friend (and taught us some swahili!) All the days were well planned and we never had to worry about whats next. Asante sana!
