点评:Just returned from a 2 week Tanzania adventure with Thomson.
I and a friend booked Founder's Safari ( had 9 additional participants) plus the Tarangire extension of 3 days (just myself and friend) .
Single suplement was only 10% additional and SO worth it.
From initial booking and follow up questions to every tiny detail of our safari, Everything was so well organized, communicated and carried out;
"A well oiled machine"
We saw 100's of other tour operators. Thomson is the ONLY operator using Land Rovers with rear coil suspension. All others use Toyota Land Cruisers with leaf suspension. Roads are unpaved,uneven, rutted, rocky, and sometimes muddy, resulting in "The Tanzanian massage"! Thomson clearly has THE most comfortable, well-maintained and daily cleaned vehicles.
You will be in these vehicles 6-9 hrs each day, so this is a BIG concern.
The "Tents" are so lovely, functional, and huge.
Service by camp staff was like being royalty. Friendly, happy, fun, and attentive.
Our guides Okjukwu and Hatibu were a wealth of knowledge about not only what we were seeing, where to see it, when to see it, but local history and insights into the local tribal life and customs. Moudy was our personal guide for our extension and he was no different in professionalism, knowledge and fun.
Food was delicious and more than enough.
Laundry is availble in camps for an extremely inexpensive cost. Take advantage of this and pack LIGHT!
Wine by the bottle was also reasonable at $20 USD
All information and more will be provided in a really convenient timing of: 90 days out, 60 days out, 30 days out, Week prior... us a Packing List and what to expect
Would I go again? YES!
We saw the Big 5+, The Ugly 5+, and my personal list of the Funny 5+
I have a rough count of 135 NEW bird species.
OK, call Thomson NOW!!!
翻译:刚和Thomson结束了为期两周的坦桑尼亚探险之旅。
我和一位朋友预订了Founder's Safari(另有9位参与者)以及3天的塔兰吉雷延长游(仅我和朋友)。
单人附加费只需额外支付10%,非常值得。
从最初的预订和后续咨询,到我们整个旅程的每一个细节,一切都井然有序,沟通顺畅,执行到位;
“一台运转良好的机器”
我们看了数百家其他旅行社。Thomson是唯一一家使用后置螺旋弹簧悬架的路虎旅行社。其他所有旅行社都使用带板簧悬架的丰田陆地巡洋舰。道路未铺砌,凹凸不平,坑坑洼洼,岩石密布,有时泥泞不堪,让人感觉像是在享受“坦桑尼亚式按摩”!Thomson的车辆无疑是最舒适、保养最完善、每天都会清洁的。
你每天会在这些车辆里待6-9个小时,所以这是一个非常值得关注的问题。
这些“帐篷”非常漂亮、实用,而且很大。
营地工作人员的服务就像皇室成员一样。友好、愉快、有趣、周到。
我们的导游Okjukwu和Hatibu知识渊博,不仅了解我们所看到的景点、在哪里可以参观、什么时候可以参观,还了解当地的历史以及当地部落生活和习俗。Moudy是我们拓展行程的私人导游,他的专业性、知识性和趣味性都丝毫不逊色于我们。
食物美味可口,份量十足。
营地提供洗衣服务,价格非常实惠。好好利用这一点,轻装上阵吧!
瓶装葡萄酒也很合理,20美元。
所有信息及其他信息将在非常方便的时间段提供:出发前90天、出发前60天、出发前30天、出发前一周……我们会提供一份打包清单和行程安排。
我会再去吗?一定会!
我们看到了五大鸟类(Big 5+)、丑鸟(The Ugly 5+)以及我个人列出的五大鸟类(Funny 5+)。
我粗略统计了一下,新鸟类有 135 种。
好的,现在就给 Thomson 打电话!!!
