Safari with African mosaic - It was very unfortunate that our suitcases did not arrive which meant that we would have missed a day of the booked safari because we had to wait for them to be delivered to us, but again Max liaised with the airport adusted our booking so that we were able to go to the airport with the driver and then carry on to start our safari meaning we did not miss anything. We also had a car to ourselves so it was very private and comfortable but please ensure you ask Max if you want air conditioned etc so that can be arranged for you. The safari itself in Savo was 3 days 2 different hotels and locations neither one was dissapointing, we saw 3 out of the 4 potential big 5 and it was sereal the toors are exactly as they are on the website and the hotels we were blown away as you are in the middle of the wild so whilst you are eating your dinner or in your room you are surrounded by Elephants, Zebra, Baboon and many more that are walking around but it is very safe as your hotel is on stilts. I would recommend the tour operator and trip itself we found 3 days was enough because it is early days but we have already decided that we will be going back with the children and will book the masimara migration. Africa itself we loved the people the hospitality although there is poverty you are treated with such respect which encouraged us to give more than we would normally give as it was helping families/children and people work very hard for very little money. Go and book we will be recommending this to everybody no complaints at all thank you Max.
