    • Safari through the northern circuit in June-self organised

      Tanzania Jun 9, 2013 at 7:43 AM

      HI, i want to go on a safari tour. Therefore I would like YOU to join me. I plan to rent a car likely together with a driver to be flexible and to be able to change plans during the tour just as we like. Especially I would like to insist on getting up early to start the game drive in the Nationalparks as soon as possible and make also full use of the evening ours. In this point it would differ from the organised tours by tour operators. Furthermore I would prefer to stay in the serengeti not only in the crowded seronera camp but also one night in the northern Ikuma Campsite, close to the grumeti river. I have already two offers about renting a 4 wheel drive car with 6 seats and pop-up roof together with the driver, his salary, his food, his camping stuff, his camping and entrance fees for 80 Dollar per day. I would like to share these costs as well as the fuel costs and the entrance fee to the Ngorongoro Crater (200 Dollar PER CAR!). I am interested in visiting all national Parks of the northern circuit, means Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Lake Manyara NP, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This would gonna be an at least 8 days tour but I am also happy if YOU join me for a part of this tour. I plan to do Night Game drives and walking safaris, which causes extra costs. I am looking for somebody who join me in june on this trip because the park fees are higher from July on. I guess this way it could become a great and affordable trip, looking for YOUR RESPONSE.

      Zambia May 25, 2013 at 3:15 AM

      I am travelling with my grand daughter (15) from Bulawayo (by train) to Vic Falls where we plan to cross over to Livingstone. I haven't crossed here before and have been reading some horror stories about the border posts ie: long waits, surly custom officals, persistent craft sellers and the long walk between the 2 borders. As we'll be dragging lugage with us, I am hoping there are taxi's that will be available on the Zim side to bring us to the Zam border? Has anyone personal info on the train, is it safe etc. Do we have concerns at Zim border control? This is her first trip and she is a very nervous type and scares easily. Appreciate any info and advice. Cheers

      Hi everyone - I am taking a trip to Spain in January and I really want to take a 3-4 day side trip to Morocco. I don't really want to do the day trip to Tangiers as I heard it's not really representative of the country and that it's constant pressure to buy things and just extremely touristy. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on tours that are good - I would love to do a desert camel tour. I'm also finding it difficult to get from Malaga to Marrakech easily (which seems to be where all the good tours are). Help.

      Hello,

      We are two French guys 23 and 25 (best friend), technician and MSc student both working in conservation. We are planning to visit the Mara, more particularly the mara triangle, from the 23th to the 27th but for economic reason we would like to share the rent of vehicle for this trip . Our goal is to spend our time exploring the reserve, doing nice pictures. We must admit we're not o birding but of course if we see beeeater, roler, and raptor we will make a spot. One of us has 5 years experience in Kenya and have been serveral time in this place. I guess it will be possible to stop to meet masai on our way back if you wish but masai settlement near the gate are just for tourists with expensive price (we wont share the cost of the show).

      We are planning to be selfcattered and camping at the Oloololo campisite where there is shower and toilet, it's the first who arrived who has the place, so we were planning early departure from Nairobi.

      No care rental have been planned yet, we are open to any proposition...
