Our guide was perfect, he spoke good English and was like a walking encyclopaedia, he knew all the animals, he was attentive and very funny, just a nice person to be around.
Safari Operator Performance
We found Flash Safaris & Photography on the internet.
They where really the best!! They made us feel so comfortable and thought of everything!

Other Activities
The first two days were so beautiful, the cheese farm at Mulala with the walk on the mountain and the walking safari in Arusha National Park. Those were my first experiences with African nature. And after that it became even more and more beautiful.
We did a hot air balloon safari which was brilliant.
