Latest Reviews on TripAdvisor…
Kenya Safari + Zanzibar Full Experience - Full Safari Experience. We want to thank Anne, Brian, Mike, our drivers Tito and Steven. But the main credit must go to Eluid, which presented us with his kindness, pacience,... read more wisdom and knowledge about this wild life. We’ve had the perfect experience on our honey moon. Eliud was not only our guide and driver, but our partner in this adventure. Showing is so many pieces of the animals wild life, knowing their routine and their favourite spots. All expectations was reached and we could not be more happy. We are so grateful that we could get into Masai Mara and Nakuru and had experienced so many things that haven’t human intervention.
This trip remind us that we have to respect nature and animals, take care of them and be nice.
In Zanzibar, Viktor welcomed us very well and showed us around. We arrived The Sands in Dongwe (near Paje), which have a private beach, beach bar, beds and long chairs. Crystal clear water, nice food and super kind staff. After 3 nights we land The Z Hotel, in Nungwi. All inclusive board gave us access to almost unlimited meals in their 3 restaurants. Plus we enjoy the Happy Hour time at bar, near the pool and other facilities. We have to tell you about the amazing sunset with the sun fall down the pool. We did snorkling and saw a lot of dolphins. Even descovered things about star fish we didn’t know at all. The Z Hotel staff was also very nice and helpful, we truly recomend you guys to stay there if you are coming to Nungwi.
If you’re reading this, please trust your Safari experience to Amazing Memories.
We are glad to had trusted our honey moon plan to Amazing, it worthed all we’ve paid for.
