Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania Luxury Vacation Review: Safari, Gorilla Trekking, Serengeti Mara River, Ngorongoro Crater, Zanzibar

This was the vacation of a lifetime; a dream I've nurtured for 39 years after being inspired by Dian Fossey's lecture at the Columbus Zoo in 1984. “I am going to see mountain gorillas one day,” I said as I walked out.

Zicasso’s travel company was one of three we contacted to discuss our trip wishes and, after careful consideration, we chose them. It was definitely the correct choice for us. Our travel agents were incredibly easy to work with, offering numerous excellent suggestions that enhanced our trip beyond our expectations. Their preparation ensured we were ready for everything and the places they sent us to were simply amazing — camps, logistics, parks, excursions, flights — everything was as close to perfect as possible. Communication was also fantastic; whenever we had questions or needed information, they responded within hours, not days.

As we discuss our next Africa trip, perhaps Kilimanjaro, there will be no need to shop around for a tour company. Our travel team provides the peace of mind for their clients to truly unplug and decompress. Their clients' job is simply to go and enjoy!
