Wildersun Safaris & Tours & (African Mecca & Powell River Cruise & Travel)Being unfamiliar with travel in Africa, specifically safari travel, can create a bewildering challenge when planning “the trip” of a lifetime.The choices we made, in conjunction with booking and coordination by our travel advisors (Powell River Cruise & Travel), (African Mecca Safaris) resulted in a seamless, trouble-free adventure which fulfilled our chosen geographic and personal agendas.Wildersun Safaris provided us with Roderick, a very knowledgeable, accommodating, wise and hard-working guide/driver. My daughter and I over 5 full days were delighted and thrilled at the constant discoveries and changing landscape that is the Ngorongoro Crater and the Serengetti. We chose a private safari and for us that proved to be the right decision as it enabled free movement in the vehicle. I was impressed with Roderick’s knowledge, driving, and his ability to position our vehicle in the very best locations. His preparedness and observation skills were a distinct advantage. Our expectations were fulfilled and then some.Our non-budget adventure included 4 interesting and comfortable lodges/camps - all to be recommended, particularly the Mara Mara Tented Lodge (Northern Serengeti) and Neptune Ngorongoro Lodge. We appreciated the pools & a drink after 8 hours or more bumping around dusty Tanzanian roads. The staff in all these locations were so gracious and we felt welcome. The food was good or great. Our only suggestion would be improved box lunches, but given the isolated locations and the varied tastes of clients, the lodges do an admirable job.We did not see a migration, but did see the large gatherings of wildebeests by land and by air as we departed for Arusha on our way to Zanzibar. There was a great deal of rain this last summer and apparently it affected the timing & route of the migration - and the pink flamingos had to cancel their booking at Lake Manyara!! I can definitely recommend these companies.
Just returned from a stunning trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar with Wildersun tours. Our trip was so amazing. Our guide Arnold was beyond belief. His knowledge, patience and his love of his country showed in piece of information he gave us. We must have badgered him with a million questions and he never once lost patience or laughed. We all lived him dearly and the tears in our eyes when parting were real. Pictures arrived from Wildersun after we returned of Arnold delivering the 100 lbs of luggage we brought for the local orphanage in Arusua. The smiles on Arnolds and the childrens faces told us how appreciated the gifts were. Wildersun was so helpful when we first started setting up the safari and was there for us with Zanzibar and Dar es Salam. Every aspect was taken care of. We were always met at ferry docks, airports and hotels. Hotels and lodges were amazing. I would like some day to return and definitely would use Wildersun. To the Nuns family and Wildersun Thank You.
