Review: Solo Africa Safari, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, Grumeti Game Reserve, Victoria Falls

From Lake Manyara, the Ngorngoro Crater, the Serengeti, the Grumeti Reserve to Victoria Falls, every location had its own appeal.  Where do I start?  Scenic game drives, visits to villages that welcomed with open arms, walks in the bush with Maasai guides, accommodations that were unbelievable and dining that was beyond expectation to name just some. The list could go on and on.  

The "tented" camps in Tanzania were by far my favorites while in Tanzania.   Even the most wild of camps (Ronjo) was still comfortable and inviting.  I LOVED them all but the Oldupai camp will always hold a special place in my heart.   I hated to leave and would love to return in the future.

The trip was made special by my guide in Tanzania.   His ability to spot wildlife a mile out was unbelievable.  I still don't know how he did it while driving the safari vehicle.  He genuinely cared for each of us on the tour and continually made sure we were doing well and were happy.  

My stay at the Elephant Camp in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe was the icing on the cake.  This is not your average camp, it felt more like a 5 Star Resort where the tents are in name only.  The staff went out of their way to make sure I was well taken care of.   I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and feeding the elephants along with my walk in the bush with Sylvester their ambassador cheetah.
