Thank you for your email and again for the wonderful trip. We enjoyed every day very much, the anticipation was great and we are sure that everything went so smoothly thanks to your preparation and support. Special moments for us were the bush dinner in Tarangire, the trips and the hotel in the crater and of course the Nimali Mara as an experience in itself. The rooms, the service and the moments of sundowners on a rock were unforgettable. It was a very special trip that we look back on fondly.
Thank you again for the preparation and great support, we would be very happy to organize further events and trips with you in the future.
