Travel Review: Rwanda, Uganda & Tanzania, Africa Safari & Gorilla Trekking Trip, Zanzibar, Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro

Although this trip was spectacular in many ways, there are a couple things that we would change. We would probably go with one less day of safari game drives in the Serengeti. We were there for 3 days and probably only needed two. We would use the extra day to spend with a Maasai family, or do something more cultural.

The trip involved a lot sitting or standing in a safari jeep, so we felt that we did not get much exercise on the vacation. We would probably add a day somewhere where we could be more active, go for a full or half day hike. I am not sure where one can hike, as there are many dangerous animals, and they do not recommend that you venture out on your own.

Finally, as much as we loved Zanzibar, it was extremely hot there in February, often reaching 97 degrees during the day. We would consider going there at another time of the year when the temperatures are more bearable. Several of our excursions on Zanzibar were fun, but all I could think about was getting back to the swimming pool to cool off, as it was stifling hot.
