It was an amazing experience and delighted I did it. But in comparison to other g tours I did I thought it was a little disjointed with the group which in my opinion detracted a bit from the experience, however it was still an unbelievable experience and...

Classic Tanzania - full body exertion (Kilimanjaro) to full sensory exertion (Serengeti) to relaxed exertion on Zanzibar. What a wonderful expose of what Tanzania has to offer from a Rural and Urban learning perspective.

It was amazing. A trip of a lifetime. The kili portion with Iddy was by far my favorite. I can't believe how nice and helpful the porters and CEOs were. They took better care of me than I do of myself at home. Iddy deserves a raise. :)
