点评:We started planning our trip to Tanzania about six months before our actual trip.
Benito, a Zara representative worked with us from the beginning to the end. In addition to being a wonderful writer which made our imagination about the trip go wild :) he was extremely responsive, creative, flexible, and caring about our well-being.
He met us on the evening we arrived in Tanzania and made sure everything that was planned was actualized. We have had many individualized tours in the past but this one was one of the best. Everything worked exactly as planned.
Our driver and guide, and now friend, was Issa. He was with us the whole week while on Safari. He is a safe driver and very knowledgeable about everything we were about to see and experience. He went out of his way to make sure our experience was safe and comfortable. Always making sure in every hotel, camp, and restaurant that there was fish on the menu (we don't eat meat). Waking us up early or late to go see the specific animals we wanted to see. He really cared about us and we felt we became family.
We visited Lake Maniara, Lake Ayasi, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
We visited some Tanzanian tribes and we fell in love, especially with the Hadzade who are still able, with all the pressure on them, to keep their way of life. We visited the Maasai and fell in love with their friendly children. After the safari part of our trip, we flew to Zanzibar. One of the most beautiful islands with the most white sand and the warm water of the Indian Ocean. Benito, the Zara representative also arranged this part of the trip.
Overall, an experience of a lifetime!!! The people, nature, and the animals in their natural habitat took our breath away!!! Thank you, Benito, Issa, Zara tour employees, and all the other Tanzanian people we met and befriended on our tour.
2 suggestions for improvement:
1. Most of the hotels we stayed at are Zara Tour establishments. A fact that drove some of the cost down. Most were beautifully located but needed to take more care of the details. Problems with water pressure. No screens on the windows to be able to open the windows (when no air conditioning is available), or just a broken window.
2. Because we stayed at their establishment, at times that meant a waste of a whole day to get us to their hotels that were not exactly on our route.
We highly recommend Zara tours. Maybe one day we will be back again.
翻译:我们在实际旅行的六个月前就开始计划前往坦桑尼亚的旅行。
Zara 的代表 Benito 从头到尾都与我们合作。除了是一位出色的作家,让我们对这次旅行的想象变得天马行空 :),他还非常敏感、富有创造力、灵活,并且关心我们的幸福。
我们到达坦桑尼亚的那天晚上,他与我们会面,并确保所有计划都得以实现。我们过去有过许多个性化旅行,但这次是最好的一次。一切都按计划进行。
我们的司机兼导游,现在的朋友,是 Issa。在 Safari 游玩期间,他整整一个星期都和我们在一起。他是一位安全的司机,对我们将要看到和体验的一切都非常了解。他不遗余力地确保我们的体验安全舒适。总是确保每家酒店、营地和餐厅的菜单上有鱼(我们不吃肉)。早起或晚起叫醒我们去看我们想看的特定动物。他真的很关心我们,我们感觉我们成了一家人。
我们游览了马尼亚拉湖、阿亚西湖、塞伦盖蒂、恩戈罗恩戈罗和塔兰吉雷。
我们游览了一些坦桑尼亚部落,爱上了他们,尤其是哈扎德人,他们尽管承受着巨大的压力,却仍然能够保持自己的生活方式。我们游览了马赛人,爱上了他们友好的孩子们。在游猎之旅结束后,我们飞往桑给巴尔。桑给巴尔是最美丽的岛屿之一,拥有最白的沙滩和印度洋温暖的海水。Zara 代表 Benito 也安排了这部分行程。
总的来说,这是一次终生难忘的经历!!!人们、大自然和自然栖息地的动物让我们惊叹不已!!!感谢 Benito、Issa、Zara 旅游员工以及我们在旅途中遇到并结识的所有其他坦桑尼亚人。
2 项改进建议:
1. 我们住的大多数酒店都是 Zara 旅游的机构。这一事实降低了部分成本。大多数酒店位置优美,但需要更加注重细节。水压有问题。窗户上没有纱窗(没有空调时无法打开窗户),或者窗户坏了。
2. 因为我们住在他们的酒店,所以有时这意味着要浪费一整天的时间才能把我们送到不在我们路线上的酒店。
我们强烈推荐 Zara 旅游。也许有一天我们会再回来。
