We booked this trip via our hotel, it worked out cheaper than online and if the weather prevented us from flying, we would have got our money back. Luckily, it was raining in Zanzibar but dry in Tanzania so we were good to go. We had a pick up from the hotel at 5:00 to take us to the airport, due to the weather, our 7:00 flight was delayed to 8:00. Flying into the safari park, straight onto a jeep and the adventure begins.
It doesn't matter how many safaris or countries you see wild animals in their natural habitats, it's always mesmerising. We were lucky to see the elephants, giraffes, baby warthogs, crocodiles, hippos, birds, gazelles, wildebeest and a pride of lionesses. The driver/guide was knowledgeable and explained as we drove through. The included lunch was plentiful and satisfying.
There was further exploration after lunch before our flight back at 16:00. The pilot was very friendly, informative and flew smoothly, especially through heavy rain, which is why the flight back took a little 80 mins to get back.
Really well worth a trip.
