点评:We have just returned from our first ever visit to Africa. After much research we chose Caracal Tours & Safaris for our holiday trip to Tanzania. We chose them as they are a locally based tour operator in Tanzania. Not only did we want to see the wildlife we also wanted to experience the people and culture of Tanzania. Marion from Caracal put together a great itinerary tailored to meet the experiences we were looking for. We were also lucky enough to have Marion's husband Ben as our safari guide for most of the time.
We spent 16 days in Tanzania and enjoyed it immensely. Ben's overall knowledge of the wildlife and Tanzania itself was of a high calibre. His ability to drive on what we would call very rough roads and still spot animals and birds was uncanny. As there was only two of us in the 8 seater safari vehicle we had plenty of room to move around and Ben gave us as much time as we needed to see the things that interested us most.
We were extremely lucky as one of the highlights of our trip was to see two wildebeest migration crossings of the Mara River in one day. As well as ticking off the big five, we saw an amazing variety of animals and birds. We saw in excess of 30 different animal species and even more varieties of birds.
We were extremely happy with all the accommodation Marion booked for us. There was a great mix of types of accommodation including tented safari camps, 5 star lodges and more traditional African themed accommodation but still with creature comforts. All the local Tanzanians we met seemed happy to help us and share their experiences. As we only spoke English, we were impressed that most of the accommodation staff spoke English well.
Leading up to and during our trip Marion from Caracal was always on hand to answer our many questions. We were surprised to learn that we were Caracal's first Australian clients. We would have no hesitation in recommending Caracal Tours & Safaris. Marion, Ben and their staff are a great team.
翻译:我们刚刚结束了第一次非洲之旅。经过一番研究,我们选择了 Caracal Tours & Safaris 作为我们坦桑尼亚假期的旅行社。之所以选择他们,是因为他们是坦桑尼亚本地的旅行社。我们不仅想观赏野生动物,还想体验坦桑尼亚的人文风情。Caracal 的 Marion 为我们量身定制了精彩的行程,完全满足了我们的需求。我们也很幸运,Marion 的丈夫 Ben 大部分时间都担任我们的狩猎向导。
我们在坦桑尼亚度过了 16 天,非常愉快。Ben 对野生动物以及坦桑尼亚本身的了解非常深入。他能够在我们称之为“非常崎岖的道路”上驾驶,仍然能够发现动物和鸟类,这真是不可思议。由于我们只有两个人坐在 8 座的狩猎车里,所以我们有足够的空间移动,Ben 也给了我们足够的时间去观赏我们最感兴趣的景点。
我们非常幸运,因为这次旅行的亮点之一是在一天内见证了两次角马迁徙穿越马拉河。除了观赏到五大野生动物之外,我们还看到了种类繁多的动物和鸟类。我们看到了超过30种不同的动物和更多种类的鸟类。
我们对Marion为我们预订的所有住宿都非常满意。住宿类型多种多样,包括帐篷式游猎营地、五星级旅馆以及更传统的非洲主题住宿,但仍然配备了舒适的设施。我们遇到的所有坦桑尼亚当地人都很乐意帮助我们,分享他们的经历。由于我们只会说英语,所以大多数住宿工作人员的英语水平都很好,这让我们印象深刻。
在旅行前和旅行期间,来自Caracal的Marion总是随时准备解答我们的许多问题。得知我们是Caracal的首批澳大利亚客户,我们感到很惊讶。我们会毫不犹豫地推荐Caracal Tours & Safaris。Marion、Ben和他们的员工是一支非常棒的团队。
