点评:We went on a 12-day safari through Tanzania and Uganda with Mega Wild Safaris, and can highly recommend! It is a professional company, with terrific personnel. The trip was extraordinary from beginning to end.
Emmanuel met us at our hotel in Arusha, and just an hour or so later we were experiencing incredible wildlife at Tarangire National Park. I mean - up close and personal with giraffes, elephants, cheetahs, zebras, buffalo, wildebeest! Amazing start. We spent the next three days in various parts of the Serengeti and were wowed by many lions, a leopard right above us in a tree, hippos, and thousands of wildebeests making the Great Migration across the River Mara!! Wild! Ngorongoro Crater was beautiful too... so amazing to see so many different animals all within a 360 of the jeep. There are no paved roads in the Serengeti, so be prepared for a lot of bumping and jostling ("the African massage") and dust. Emmanuel was fantastic! He regularly arrived at the perfect viewing spot well before the other safari vehicles, and worked hard to make sure that we got the best vantage point. He is extremely knowledgeable about the land, the animals and the people (apart from speaking several languages fluently) and was excellent company throughout the drives and meal times. At the end, he made sure we were safely checked in at the Kilimanjaro airport.
Mega Wild booked our flight from Tanzania to Uganda, and it went off without a hitch. Dalson picked us up at Entebbe Airport, and we were immediately with a new friend :) We drove for several hours across beautiful lush Uganda, and Dalson helped interpret what we were seeing at every step. Our experiences with the chimpanzees and with the gorillas were beyond belief. Such close access, such magic. We felt that we really got to know something about Ugandan life through our long chats (and laughs) with Dalson, which put everything we were seeing into context.
Our accommodations were all fine, with some of them being quite luxurious and others more basic. Sometimes there can be power or hot water issues along the way, but these were usually resolved quickly. Everyone at the lodges treated us well, and the food was quite good. We are vegans but were flexing to vegetarian for the trip. Emmanuel and Dalson always communicated with the lodges, so that we almost always had good variety and tasty food at dinner. Breakfast and boxed lunches were sometimes a bit sketchy, but there was always plenty of fresh fruit and bread and we had brought granola bars and other snacks to augment. In Uganda, we recommend the Ride 4 a Woman lodge near the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest - they provide lovely accommodations and food, and all profits go to help local women develop skills and independence.
We had good communication with Anne Bright before and during the trip. There were some last minute changes made to the itinerary, but most of these were for the better.
There are tons of safari companies out there. We chose Mega Wild because they were local, the prices were reasonable, and we appreciated the good communication in our early enquiries. We were happy with our choice!
翻译:我们参加了 Mega Wild Safaris 为期 12 天的坦桑尼亚和乌干达之旅,强烈推荐!这是一家专业的公司,员工很棒。从头到尾,这次旅行都很棒。
Emmanuel 在阿鲁沙的酒店与我们会面,大约一小时后,我们在塔兰吉雷国家公园体验了令人难以置信的野生动物。我的意思是 - 近距离接触长颈鹿、大象、猎豹、斑马、水牛、角马!令人惊叹的开始。接下来的三天,我们在塞伦盖蒂的不同地方度过了时光,许多狮子、树上的豹子、河马和成千上万的角马穿越马拉河进行大迁徙,这些都让我们惊叹不已!狂野!恩戈罗恩戈罗火山口也很美……在吉普车的 360 度范围内看到这么多不同的动物真是太神奇了。塞伦盖蒂没有铺好的路,所以要做好颠簸和推挤(“非洲按摩”)以及灰尘的准备。Emmanuel 太棒了!他总是比其他游猎车辆早到完美的观景点,并努力确保我们获得最佳的有利位置。他对这片土地、动物和人民了如指掌(除了能流利地说几种语言外),在整个驾驶和用餐期间都是很好的陪伴。最后,他确保我们安全地在乞力马扎罗机场办理登机手续。
Mega Wild 为我们预订了从坦桑尼亚飞往乌干达的航班,一切顺利。Dalson 在恩德培机场接我们,我们立即有了一位新朋友 :) 我们开车几个小时穿过美丽而郁郁葱葱的乌干达,Dalson 帮助我们解释每一步所见所闻。我们与黑猩猩和大猩猩的经历令人难以置信。如此近距离接触,如此神奇。我们觉得通过与 Dalson 的长谈(和欢笑),我们真正了解了乌干达人的生活,这使我们看到的一切都有了背景。
我们的住宿条件都很好,有些非常豪华,有些则比较简陋。有时在途中可能会出现电力或热水问题,但这些问题通常很快就能得到解决。旅馆里的每个人都对我们很好,食物也相当不错。我们是纯素食主义者,但在旅途中吃素。Emmanuel 和 Dalson 总是与旅馆保持沟通,因此我们几乎总是能在晚餐时吃到种类丰富、味道鲜美的食物。早餐和盒装午餐有时有点简陋,但总是有很多新鲜的水果和面包,我们还带了燕麦棒和其他零食来补充。在乌干达,我们推荐位于布恩迪难以穿越的森林附近的 Ride 4 a Woman 旅馆——他们提供舒适的住宿和食物,所有利润都用于帮助当地妇女发展技能和独立性。
在旅行前和旅行期间,我们与 Anne Bright 进行了良好的沟通。行程在最后一刻做了一些更改,但大多数都是为了更好。
有很多野生动物园公司。我们选择 Mega Wild 是因为他们是本地公司,价格合理,而且我们很欣赏他们在我们早期咨询时提供的良好沟通。我们对自己的选择很满意!
