Guide Report – A Wonderful Adventure With Al and Susan

AFRICAN WILDLIFE

Posted on by Claude Shitindi

We began our safari on March 20, 2015 at the Central Serengeti Airstrip where I picked up my guests named Al and Susan after they took off from the Arusha Airport. They had just landed into Tanzania the night before after flying all the way from the U.S. (Florida). I was very excited to begin the safari in the Central Serengeti since wildlife viewing had been excellent in this area during my last couple of safaris this year. Luckily, the Central Serengeti did not disappoint us and we were blessed with plenty of wildlife sightings right away including the famous predators of the Serengeti.

We had a superb itinerary that fully explored the great ecosystem of the Serengeti and Ngorongoro and had a diverse mix of luxury lodges and tented camps. We had 9 nights together with 2 nights at the Four Seasons Hotel in the Central Serengeti, 2 nights at Kusini Tented Camp in the Southwest Serengeti, 2 nights on the South Plains at Lake Masek Camp and 3 nights in the Ngorongoro Crater area with the beautiful Crater and Manor Lodges. My guests and I had very nice time on this trip and we were very lucky with fantastic sightings of Elephants, Giraffes, Hippos, Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards, Rhinos and so many others.

I have a few photos that I took from our 9 days together that I would like to share with you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed taking them.

    We had a wonderful time with you for those 9 days.It was very dusty but that didn’t stop us from having a great time & seeing everything. How many times did we go by python rock??? And I loved being chased by the elephants….wish I had that on video. Thanks for a memorable vacation.
    We think of you often & hope all is well with your family.

  2. Claude, Great to see these photos. It’s been a few years since my safari, and I want to thank you again for a great adventure. I’m still haunted (in a good way) by Tanzania – the landscape, the wildlife, the scents, the sounds, and the beautiful people of Tanzania. Keep posting your photos and doing reports – they’re great ! Hope you and your family are well. Jan – Boston
